LSAT 169 GPA 3.33 2021–22 cycle

3 LSAT takes 167 -> 169 -> 163 :( Opted against writing an LSAT addendum for the drop because I had no way to explain it other than burnout, which felt like a cop out. Undergrad GPA had huge upward trend in final two years (last 3 semesters all 4.0) and major GPA of 3.86. Undiagnosed learning difference the first 2…

…I would apply to all T14. I wrote a trauma-based grade addendum that provided context to my GPA. I also wrote a short C&F regarding a possession of drug paraphernalia misdemeanor, which I thought FOR SURE would be a huge barrier to cycle success.

Attending Georgetown University

Note about low GPA: I had a 2.4 GPA my freshman year, then roughly a 3.9 across my last 3 years. I wrote a strong addendum that I think explained this as well as possible. That said, I’m not sure how sympathetic schools were to my story. I’m a KJD so this only happened 2 years prior to me sending my applications. It…

…years working in the Public Interest world. I wrote a GPA addendum, a diversity statement, Why X statements, and any supplemental essay I could that allowed me to share who I am and what I bring to the table. For some schools, it wasn’t enough. But I consider every WL a victory, and every R a lesson learned and…

Attending Georgia State University

I signed up for an optional interview with Baylor at one of the LSAC Forums. I submitted a GPA Addendum /only/ to TAMU because otherwise my GPA is relatively average/above-average and TAMU is clearly a GPA focused school. Attending the Forum in my area was a great idea bc I received several fee waivers for schools I…
