…172 in March. While I submitted most of my applications by early November, I took advantage of my improved LSAT score in March and applied to Duke, UT, GULC, and NDLS. It’s important to note that my application faced significant C&F challenges, which I believe played a significant role in some of the…

Admitted to University of Iowa…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:…
…at T-14 schools would have been much better had I applied earlier. I advise against applying early decision - don’t give up your chance to be wooed by admissions officers with great scholarship offers. You can tell them later that they are your first choice, using that info as a negotiation tactic to up your…
I submitted my application to SMU by the early decision deadline of November 15th. I heard back on November 19th that my application was rolled over to regular admissions.
…if I waited another year to start school I made the decision to R&R and apply super early with a more refined PS. This “come to Jesus” was a huge weight off my shoulders. I no longer looked at it as a failure but an opportunity. Unfortunately, my 5 LSATs were 158-159-160-160-159… such a hard blow, but I have great…
I don’t have a whole lot to say except apply early and know most schools probably won’t give you a decision in the scheduled time they tell you. Waitlists aren’t the end of the world either!
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.
…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,…
…due to Covid/economy there will be deferrals. Apply as early in September as possible. Non 170+ applicants did better early on than later. Acceptance rates and scholarship amounts. December is still considered early but in a competitive cycle not early enough and it only became more competitive each month. Apply…
…for T14 schools and haven’t cured cancer Ask for your LORs EARLY, at least two months in advance Write every optional statement/essay/blurb you can. Legitimately every single one. Edit them multiple times. I had an essay for mich I wasn’t super proud of and now it haunts me and I wish I had taken an extra few days…
…later in the cycle to target schools (I can only speak to early Feb) if you have made positive changes in your application package. I also used the higher score as a material change in my application when approaching scholarship reconsideration requests. **Scholarship Info: ** Campbell did not reconsider…
