How you do one thing is how you do everything. No matter what happens it will work out.
You got this. Don’t let others define your goals or your success for you. UofO bound! Here are my thoughts at the end of my cycle: If you can renegotiate scholarships DO SO.- Using some of my other scholarship offers as leverage I was able to increase other offers at other schools. Take your peers advice with a…
TIPS: It is impossible to understate the power of a cohesive narrative throughout your application. Second only to studying for the LSAT, I would recommend spending the most significant amount of time thinking about why you genuinely want to go to law school, and then highlighting some compelling links between the…
Use your softs wisely. I am 100% convinced my scholarship money came from my softs, I used my personal statement to explain my low GPA (mom had leukemia throughout my undergrad) but I explained how this made me stronger, more focused, and taught me how to overcome adversity. For schools where my GPA was below the…

**Advice for future applicants: ** Your practice tests are not necessarily reflective of what you’ll score on the real LSAT. Be careful gassing yourself up with these PTs because your actual score might be disappointing. Also, try to apply earlier in the cycle. I took the LSAT 3 times thinking I could score higher…

The application cycle is a lot like sorority rush. If you did not endure the chaos of trying to get into a sorority, it is a double sided interview where if done correctly guides you to the sorority that you want and wants you. While acceptances, rejections, and waitlists are cruel it guides you to the school that…
My advice for the future generations reading this is: don’t worry about anything; you’ll be fine! 3-28-23 Update: 147 OG score when applications were sent out in late March, then 157 on the June LSAT. I only notified four schools (from which I was previously denied) of my new score. I emailed LSU and Ole Miss, which…

R&R from last cycle. Applied broadly, wasn’t set on any geographic region, just wanted a great fit with my average stats. Wrote essay for Tulane, but a big reach…. wasn’t surprised by the R. Wrote a why OU and had a great interview, which probably helped me get in as I was around both 25ths. Attempted to negotiate…
I knew my GPA would be lower than many applicants so I chose to apply as early as possible to get ahead. I feel this worked out in my benefit and allowed me to also receive scholarships that I might not have been offered later on if I waited. I also had extensive work experience in a court setting and feel this gave…
