don’t underestimate how important your essays can be, write every optional essay and make sure they’re the best they can be.
Meet with admissions teams in person, force your way into the door. People will not know you until you make yourself known.
I made my choice to try to go to law school very late in the cycle, do not do that if you can avoid it, or take a gap year.
always believe in yourself … and if you have trauma use it in your statements because if you don’t someone else will !!
Start studying ASAP, apply as soon as you get your LSAT Score - don’t wait!
MBA experience; Early Graduation; Follow up with additional letters of Rec and extended resumes for some schools.
Northeastern- early decision date for accepting the scholarship/putting a deposit down! MN- weirdly really slow!
Just apply! You never know.
If you have the power do something about it, why worry? If you can’t, why worry about what you can’t control?
“What is to give light must endure burning.” “They tried to bury us, but didn’t know we were seeds.”
Apply early. Do not wait Jan or later to apply. If you have lower stats you will benefit from being early.
Enjoy the ride. Life is too short to worry all the time. Put in the effort, and life will sort itself out.
Apply to schools you don’t intend to go to to leverage scholarship $$$!
Don’t pay for law school and focus on having a clear message in your PS, resume, and letters of rec.
Wish I would have submitted earlier - life got in the way but at least I hope I get some money soon!
Apply early if you can, but also just apply! Just do it! You never know the answer unless you try!
