My T2 softs have to do with disability, ethnic background, and speaking a language with ~50-100 speakers as part of a revival project. I was waitlisted at every T20-T30-T40 I applied to… then somehow rejected by two T60s.

If you’re not happy with your direction, your career, or your sense of being, trust your mind and heart to get you to where you want to be.

Forget all the fancy LSAT prep. I made more score improvement using Law Hub’s additional practice tests and just taking test after test. Couple this with Khan Academy’s free LSAT prep worked wonders. Be careful reading Reddit. You have a whole lot of people pitching and moaning about not getting into an Ivy League…

Experience is not baggage; it is the framework that makes the theory make sense. Chase the work that keeps you awake at…

Comparison is the thief of joy. Remember this as you’re doom-scrolling on this site.
Pace yourself as you study. There can be diminishing returns if LSAT prep takes over your time and headspace. When it comes time to choose, stay rooted in what makes sense for you. Don’t read too much into other people’s results. Be clear and personal about your “why law” and “why now.”
Go back in and double check all your applications. It’s not too late to send something you may have missed.

Never too late.
Everyone feels the same way you do. Don’t let anxiety stop you from doing whatever you want. You are not alone. And always remember haters gonna hate. Be you.
Do not let your past define who you are today! If you do not succeed at first, as the saying goes - try again!
