…school list, adding more “safeties” (though, as a splitter, I know there’s never truly such a thing) and prioritizing schools where I was above the 75th percentile LSAT. Most importantly, my materials were stronger across the board. I made sure my letters of recommendation clearly reflected my “why” and helped tell…
