Admitted to University of MississippiApplying during the 2024-2025 cycle. Currently in grad school and will update throughout the year. Used fee waivers for all application fees and all but 10 CAS fees. Did not negotiate with any school since most got back to me after I was happy with other offers.
when the chile is tea but the finna is gag sis i’m dead as a chile below is what happens when you apply late aka in a frenzy late-January to early February (waitlists lol)… if you’re in the same boat as me, make sure you apply widely. UT was kind of spur of the moment based on my Feb LSAT result and it’s where I’m…
How you do one thing is how you do everything. No matter what happens it will work out.
Be yourself. You are playing your own game. Present a compelling case for yourself and you will have options. Most law school admissions advice: is bad- is too general will not apply to you Critically examine information, then do what is best for you.
Hi! I hope you can learn some from my experiences: -I took the LSAT in August 2024 (the first without the Logic Games) and was pleased with my score. I ended up sitting on my law school apps for WAY too long, which I regret doing. -I submitted most of my applications in mid-December. UTK: the “UR2” date I listed is…
I am starting this profile to show everyone what the admissions cycle is like for someone with poor grades in their undergraduate studies. I will update regularly with test information, schools I am applying to, and how I fare in the admissions process. I am hopeful, but pragmatic. Good luck to everyone. End of…
I was a one-and-done LSAT taker, thought the 164 was strong enough to get me in somewhere good. Looking back it might have been worth a retry but I can safely say i am happy with my options, and wont be going through another cycle. this advice should help anyone like me, who has their sights set on a school that’s…
🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 Before actually deciding to apply to law school, I would recommend these 4 steps: Read this: http://www.deanspade.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/For-Those-Considering-Law-School.pdf Really think about if your goals in being a lawyer align with actual legal work. If you have social justice goals in going to law…
*4-5 years of work experience ( inconspicuous offices jobs - nothing law related. no major accolades or awards. Super average Office Space tier work). Did construction work for about a year in the middle of that. White Straight Male no disabilities/disadvantages/hardships of any kind. *Low tier state school in the…
-8 years of work experience (waitress, legal assistant, office manager) -black female veteran -I took the LSAT twice (148 the first time and 153 the second. I had a ton of technical issues the second time but opted out of retaking because I had used up my waiver and talked to admissions at Ole Miss and was advised…

Hello Hello, I fully acknowledge that my stats are low for most of the schools that I applied too, but something that I’ve learned is that you should never EVER self-select yourself out of an opportunity. If someone wants to tell you no then they have every right to do that, but you should make them tell you. 10+…
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…
Do NOT let anyone discourage you. You are smart and deserve to be where you are. Market yourself with what you have. Show interest into the school. If they have zooms or events try to attend, try to get your name out there. Getting waitlisted isn’t the end of the world. Make you LOCI strong by adding personal…
Don’t let a bad GPA get you down, it is what it is.
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…

So though my lsat score wasn’t great and my gpa looks terrible, the last two years I got all As but during…
