…10/12 with a date change and address going long in early November (results: “hold” received on 11/15 and status checker changed to Review Complete - Decision Forthcoming). Did why X. Sent LOCI in early February. Date change on 2/16. Accepted from hold on 02/23. Scholarship offer received roughly a week after.- UMN:…

Admitted to Fordham University…my best “target school” so I applied to their early decision, which was non-binding. This was in hopes that I would hear back before submitting other apps, but they really held me on strings until a week before their own deadline.- Essays: Personal Statement, Optional Essay (diversity essay) George Washington [A] I…
…the week I got the A Gray bar at WashU within a week of decision GW date did disappear but I do not remember when NDLS admissions department is a hot mess Vandy didn’t need this many WL waves. They could have just sent them all at once. W&L is not the kind of school I would have felt comfortable at. If you are…
…which made the entire application free. **Waiting on decisions: **My safe schools naturally accepted me first and offered scholarships (again, not a concern for me, but it confirms that I have a shot a target schools). I got a waitlist at one target early on and missed the first several A-waves from other targets.…
…The first list is of when people reported getting decisions from various schools back here and on Reddit (days of week and times of day in PST). This does not show what times or days I heard back (necessarily)—it’s just what I was using to know when to obsessively refresh my email. The second list is my manual…
Ask every school for fee waivers, apply early, and max out your LSAT and GPA. Your softs will not make you but they can break you, so make sure your personal statement, additional essays, and resume are coherent and typo-free. Other than that, you’re at the mercy of the admission cycle. Also, try not to constantly…
…and scored 163. Submitted all apps in February or early March of 2025. I also submitted some panic applications in April. Results were less than ideal haha. It’s not depicted in the table, but I eventually withdrew from all WLs and my singular A in early August. My degree GPA is a 3.Mid, which in many ways made my…
Hi! I was a lurker during the law school cycle, and wanted to wait before posting until I received all my decisions. I am sharing on here for data collection, and hopefully those who stumble upon this can find this helpful. I did not think I would get into any of the schools I applied to. I shot my shot, and I am SO…
…How I made decisions + thoughts and math on CoA (3 year total): Most of my withdraws happened after getting a full ride to UIUC. Schools I was most interested in post-offers: Davis, Iowa, W&L, UIUC. It came to Davis and Iowa, Davis barely won with their late scholarship increase. In the end it didn’t really matter,…
…tip, I have only ever sent a LOCI prior to receiving a decision when I noticed that the school has had both an A wave and a WL/R wave that I was not included in. Basically, if it appears I’ve been skipped over for whatever reason, I would send a LOCI. In addition to a LOCI, explore other ways to show demonstrated…
…drop to 170 from last crazy cycle. I applied somewhat early (October-November) but I have not received anything back as of 12/10. I am from an okay, well-known (top 25) undergrad with an A minus average. (Funny how it looks bad as a 3.66 but feels better to say A minus average??) so wish me luck besties. Checking in…
…TEXAS: did not write any optional essays. invited to KIRA early december, which included a written “why texas” response that i kinda nailed tbh VANDY: wrote a very strong “why vandy” and completed optional alumni interview WASHU: no optional essays; invited to interview almost immediately USC: my dream school!…
biggest advice: having a knockout application later is better than a rushed one early!!!!! I worked full time during this whole process and it’s doable, but challenging. Learn from me!! what I’d do differently: I busted my butt and got a million reviews for my PS and statement of perspective, but didn’t spend enough…
