…management experience at a major grocery chain. Other softs could be considered my degree, since I was playing lots of concerts as someone studying music. I think the musician route was compelling, but it wasn’t like I had a soft(s) that made people go “wow!” Although I did have numerous deans/other adcoms say that…

Admitted to Pennsylvania State - Dickinson Law…“should have” acted differently according to the numbers. Softs are important, and you never know what the admissions team is specifically drawn to in a certain app. Just try and maximize your reach and don’t get hung up on a specific school because anything could happen. You got this! Special Note for other people…

…professors anymore and taught me 9 years ago. No amazing softs. I applied with a goal of writing myself as a future public interest lawyer tangentially related to my prior profession. What i wish i knew/did before applying to ALL these schools: Look at the history of scholarships. Don’t under-estimate your stats. I…
Overview: I came into the cycle hopeful about my softs, but honestly, they only care about numbers lol >.<!! So, if you can, definitely retake the LSAT (preferably 160 and up) or win competitive scholarships [i.e., MMSP, Mcdonnell, Earl Warren, SEO Law, etc.]. Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for…

…and Mary and NDLS by doing so, despite my GPA and lack of softs
I have really weird softs, the kind that one admissions professional might see and say “how unique, that’s a great foundation for a lawyer” and someone else could easily say “this means absolutely nothing”. I put it in as 3, probably it’s really a 4, but the right reader might have given me a lot more credit.
Applied to every school under the sun because I was hunting that sweet $$$$. Take advantage of fee waivers. No special softs, but strong public service resume, solid recommendations, and creative essay topic. Proud to have two T14 A’s in the cycle from hell.
…benefit splitters like myself. I have some pretty solid softs, I’ve worked in federal government and have been in the military for the past 9 years. If you have experiences that you believe set you apart it’s important to emphasize that in your application. I interviewed with Villanova which I think helped me alot,…
