GRE 334 GPA 3.07 2022–23 cycle

Attending Seton Hall University

…I was still rejected and could not even be placed on the waitlist after seven weeks. I would say that if GW Law never likes my Stat and Background, the decision could be given to me earlier. GW is one of my top choices and I got rejected after many many many conversations. So sad. Since I would love to attend this…

LSAT 165 GPA 3.76 2023–24 cycle

Admitted to Arizona State University

It’s not over until it’s over. I applied to most all of my schools in November, and by February I was either waitlisted or rejected at all my targets and reaches and I only got into safeties.

Attending Villanova University

…decent scholarship, so thank god the 2 ED’s ended up being waitlists) it essentially came down to what city I could see myself living in.
