…and injured hand). We will see if applying late and being KJD gets me shut out of the t14 or not. I’ll also provide some additional context to my application to make it a bit more informative: Took the LSAT as a Freshman for some reason, got very lucky and did not have to retake. Graduating a year early (Super KJD).…

Foul KJD, emboldened by the flame of ambition. Have it writ upon thy meagre grave: Felled by the T14
Hard work and a cohesive narrative help a lot. I spent approximately 1 year (mixed levels of intensity) studying for the LSAT and went from 152 to 171. I’m a KJD, but I’ve had several unusual internships. I’m also an engineering major in a genuinely unique program. Experiences in this program have shaped my…
…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 can be hard to show significant growth in that time, so I would’ve benefitted from a few years of distance from my GPA. Also, I went to a top 20 undergrad known for grade inflation (over…
…early fall helped me stand out. I also highly encourage KJD applicants to take a year off and get some work experience before applying. I am a reapplicant from last cycle and having some exposure to the legal field (as a legal asst/paralegal) made me 10x more confident in my decision to apply to law school. It’s…
…Resume - I have a decent amount of experience (for a KJD) but it is in like 3 or 4 different areas. My application readers were likely left questioning why I want to go to law school or even what I am interested in. Wish I applied to Berk but I did not have enough in me to add to my PS and write a why x for them.…

Reapplicant. Last year is https://www.lsd.law/users/creep/MindlessUsefulFox. Focusing on my essays and not applying as a KJD helped a lot the second time around.
…be more boring on your apps. Not so with me! If you are a KJD with similar stats to me, you are probably not getting into a T14. To say I beat the odds is an understatement. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try. Shoot your shot and see what happens, but don’t settle for mediocre results. Assume that you will…
**Please please PLEASE take time off in between undergrad and law school! ** So many KJDs just want to go straight through “to get law school over with” or “not waste time because they’re 100% sure they want to be a lawyer.” And while the latter may be true for some, there is so much you learn—about yourself, your…
