…not a good match for them and they saw that too. I went KJD because I felt my resume/background/stats was strong enough to get me into my schools without work experience. But honestly, getting some work experience would’ve made my application stronger– and I probably could’ve gotten some better scholarships. Okay,…

Admitted to Harvard University…lost. Now on to business: Background: I decided to apply KJD for a number of personal reasons, but I want to emphasize the fact that this was *a calculated risk *and that I was prepared to reapply should I have not gotten the results I wanted. Quite frankly, I believe the KJD disadvantage will only grow in the years…
KJD (putting in full-time employment during college removes KJD from LSD’s algorithm) Shoot above what you think you can make!
…with Georgetown. Don’t do this to yourself!!If you are a KJD: seriously, seriously consider a gap year or more, or some work experience. It doesn’t have to be prestigious, and it doesn’t have to be consistent. Every KJD I’ve known except one has massively underperformed their numbers, and it seems to only get worse…
LSAT: 167 -> 168 -> 174 I used LSAT Demon + The Loophole (highly recommend both) GPA: 4.0/4.0 (top 1% – humanities classes only) softs: average for a KJD who knew they wanted to go to law school early (summer legal internship, legal research assistant, a handful of undergrad awards, a couple leadership roles in…
…I think having clear reasons for Why Law and (as a KJD in particular) Why Now was real important. Good luck with ur cycles!
I put myself as T4 softs because I’m KJD and most of my resume items are typical undergraduate activities: legal internship, lab research, TA position, and club leadership. However, I am a first-generation college student with 2 majors (STEM + business-related), which maybe helped me standout a little bit, but…
…for any schools that had prompts. Otherwise, very boring KJD who’s had a lot of luck this cycle :)
Multiracial: Half Black, half white, Work Experience: Attending immediately after graduating (KJD), but with two years full time WE in a team leadership position at an international company during college. Additionally worked two full time jobs over the summer. Academic info: Big mid-Atlantic state school undergrad.…
I was convinced going into the cycle that my KJD status would completely bar me from the t 3-5 schools, but I’m happy to have been wrong. Work experience is the right call for many people, but if you have high stats and have had exposure to legal work, I think you can have some confidence going in. A few random…
I think the reason I did very well despite being KJD and below T14 LSAT median is that my application heavily centered around a cohesive theme (basically my Why Law) which tied together every single part of my application. My personal statement, diversity statement, resume, and school supplemental essays were all…
