You wouldn’t be here considering becoming a lawyer unless you have what it takes deep down; all you have to do is let that part of you…
Casted a shallow net, applied to only ABA-approved online/part time programs. I plan to stay Active Duty Army while in law school (non-FLEP, 9 years of service) so I had to find to schools whose synchronous classes would not interfere with my duty day.

Be careful reading Reddit. You have a whole lot of people pitching and moaning about not getting into an Ivy League…
Mid-cycle: Horrific so far. WL at 4 targets and safeties. No A’s. 1 R. Still waiting to hear from 8 schools, but 4 are reaches, 3 are targets, and 1 is a safety.

Apply early. If you think you can get a better LSAT score, keep trying. It’ll be worth waiting another cycle (trying to take my own advice here).
