I tried to fill my profile as much as possible to be transparent for those of you after me. Admissions is very stressful so here’s a few pointers for those with similar stats/softs/details to me: C and F (probably the biggest fear I had): Own up to it and use it to your advantage. Being willing to be transparent…

Admitted to University of Iowai did my best and i have to be proud of that because what else do i have
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…
Apply Early. Apply Early. Apply Early Be authentic in your application Don’t rush to law school, even a couple years of work/service can provide you with important experiences that can shape your application into something that tells a compelling story
Don’t doubt your abilities, also NEVER read your essays after submitting.
“We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.” — Seneca. Don’t get lost spending all your time looking at law school information. Enjoy each part of your life while you’re living it! Law school is just the next step.
Especially if you are a splitter or reverse splitter, I highly recommend applying across the board and pouring a lot of energy into your written materials. Craft your application story to an experience you had - whether it be a job, internship, campus organization, etc. - and parlay that into your interest in law at…
Zzeengo left minor wisdom for posterity (◕_◕). Start your apps early to give yourself time for mishaps and a better shot at getting acceptances/scholarships. For most people, you’re going to underestimate the time it takes to put everything together.- Write your essay about what you are passionate about. Seriously-…
Use Service2School if you are military Email for fee waivers When in doubt, shoot your shot! Good luck
Shout out to all the trans girls out there! This first point is addressed to y’all. I’m going to be so real: y’all got the softs, alright? But you got to right those essays, and write them well, even if it’s hard. There is a lot of doomerism, and there is good cause for that. But I want to stress: law school classes…
AHHHHHHH AHH AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I decided to attend Emory because it gave me good BL chances at the best price point in a really good location(pending waitlists, but I don’t expect any bites from my LOCIs). If you want a T14 or even a T20 acceptance at a 3.6, you will need to aim higher than a 170. I would advise future applicants to retake 170s…
Completed all applications by the first week in October. Wrote at least one optional for all schools! 155 -> 167 -> 175 (No addendum written)
Softs matter more than you think! LSAT is important, but it’s not everything, don’t sell yourself and what you have to offer short. Also, spend time on your personal statement, it matters more than people admit
Everyone says this, but APPLY EARLY. September/October. I think application timing materially affected my outcomes at OSU, FSU, and Iowa. Get em in by Halloween and you’ll also have most decisions back by Jan.
I applied to an interesting mix of schools. I currently work as a patent agent at a law firm in Chicago, and have for a few years now (graduated from undergrad in ‘23), and so was considering part-time programs in Chicago but also decided to try the major DC part-time options as well. The Georgetown (Evening…
Don’t worry so much about it. You’re fine.
**LSAT Info: ** My initial LSAT was 164, and I applied to most of these schools with that score. I applied with my Jan. score of 166 to a handful of schools I placed on hold by emailing the admissions teams after deciding to take the LSAT again, and a few new ones I picked after receiving that score. Do not be…
