Apply earlier than you think and make sure your application conveys your “Why” Cycle Update 3/26/2026 This cycle has been a whirlwind, I felt thrown off about 87% of the time, but I’m overall super happy with the acceptances I’ve received. I’m not someone who would like to wait on a waitlist for personal planning…

Take a deep breath, get yourself a cinnamon roll, and watch the office <3 ““You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” -Wayne Gretzky” -Michael Scott I panic applied to so many schools because I was unsure how my cycle would turn out as a reverse splitter. My cycle is proof that the LSAT isn’t everything! My…

Apply as early as you can without rushing your application. Write every optional essay when given the chance. And ABOVE ALL, take a break, go for a walk. Each school will be moving at its own pace - no matter how often you check this website it won’t move the process along any faster :)
I own the WE category in my field. No one has more expertise than me when it comes to being a bum. Here are the reasons: I didn’t choose the bum life, the bum life choose me. I was not born into a rich family. Because there are no such things as rich bums. I was so delusional I started hallucinating during the LSAT,…

I could say this a million times, but it’s only true if you believe it: Your JD will be worth as much as you make it—as much as YOU make it! It’s not the school you attend, but your performance in that school and beyond that truly matters. Figure out what it’s going to take, commit, put your head down, grind, and…
May your curse in life be that your hard work is mistaken for talent.
OVERALL ADVICE: APPLY EARLY EARLY. I felt my applications were submitted almost a little bit late. I wasn’t able to catch the “early” wave. I had a handful of people look over my PS. I would recommend maybe two or three max. Make sure your personal statement goes back to “Why law school”. I wrote an addendum…

Simple Advice: Spend a lot of time to craft your personal statement/application to show why you want to go to law school. ***This is SUPER…

A rejection isn’t a bad thing, it helps narrow you to the place you’re meant to be
After 20 years out of high school, a full professional career, and raising my 18-year-old son as a single mother… I am finally attending law school. I just graduated from undergrad in May 2023, so my journey is very different than most, but my advice is all the same… shoot your shot, especially as a minority or…
PhobicRhetoricalRottweiler left no wisdom for posterity… (◕︵◕) I dont care what law school you chose to go to because law school is a scam. But if you do decide to give your self hell for 3 years at least consult this vague list of first year curved grades. Not at all 100% but it gives you an idea of what schools to…
