I applied to a BROAD range of schools as you can see. Some schools are super reach and some schools are more so targets/safeties. I hope that my cycle can provide some insight for those who have my similar stats. As far as Fee Waivers, all of my FW were unsolicited except for Harvard, USCarolina, and OU which I…
If you are in undergrad and you know you want to go to law school, don’t graduate with a low GPA. Definitely don’t graduate with a sub-3 GPA. Ask me how I know. Just keep taking classes until you can get it up as high as you can. If you’re already out of undergrad and you fucked up and got a low GPA (especially if…
All it takes is one, never forget that. (◕‿◕) As I have finally paid my first deposit on April 13, 2026 (Yay!), I wanted to leave a few thoughts here for anyone who might be reading this. I know nothing, so take everything I write with a grain of salt. GPA and LSAT will get you in the door, softs will make or break…
Use a study method that works for you. I Started with 7sage but felt that it was lacking. I switched to LSAT Demon and everything clicked.Listen to what your study program teaches but don’t be afraid to adjust It took a couple of adjustments before I felt that the test made sense. LSAT Demon (and many others) preach…
“ Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and…
This is nothing like Ace Attorney
You gotta jump in to swim! When choosing which schools to apply to, I focused on location (mainly the northeast) and maximizing scholarship opportunities/minimizing debt burden. I relied on 509 reports to see which schools are the most generous with scholarships and from there, applied to mostly to schools where I…
Go to LSAC Forums and apply to fallback schools first. Keep honing your application and tweaking your personal statement to it’s perfect form before applying to your target and reach schools.
Never reveal everything you know.
Be yourself. You are playing your own game. Present a compelling case for yourself and you will have options. Most law school admissions advice: is bad- is too general will not apply to you Critically examine information, then do what is best for you.
Rejection is part of life ! I am happy that I applied broadly and decided on a school that aligned my values , my finances and proximity to where I have my house
Don’t get to held up on the “name” of the school, just go where you can be successful and achieve your specific goals. My main goal was to pay as little as possible for law school/COL while still attending a non-predatory school. Due to this motivation, I turned down schools with bigger names, higher ranking, and…
Worked in state government as an aquatic biologist for about fifteen years, so I knew from the get-go environmental law was my main focus. Nearly all my statements - and in most cases I completed every optional essay available for each application - centered on environmental advocacy and my experience within the…
Apply early and isolate a compelling narrative through your application. For me, I talked about how a particular undergrad extracurricular cemented my desire to be an attorney. I think the strategic choice of my three recommenders really helped with this. Don’t hesitate to ask for fee waivers, negotiate offers, etc.…
This cycle obviously didn’t go as well as I hoped it would. However, my application had a number of substantial weaknesses, and I’m happy someone saw my value as an applicant. You can get into law school with a 2.X GPA/as a college dropout. That said, be realistic about your goals. Consider whether the school you…
