I own the WE category in my field. No one has more expertise than me when it comes to being a bum. Here are the reasons: I didn’t choose the bum life, the bum life choose me. I was not born into a rich family. Because there are no such things as rich bums. I was so delusional I started hallucinating during the LSAT,…

Admitted to St. Thomas University (Florida)Splitter Advice Apply to less schools- : if you’re hesitant about living somewhere, it might not be the right fit. Tell your story, focus on the highs- : if you spend a paragraph in an addendum describing adverse circumstances from undergrad, spend a paragraph describing how you bounced back and put yourself in a…
If you are truly passionate about becoming an attorney, do it! Don’t let the overthinking, fear or doubts impact your decision. Believe that you can and you will!

think to yourself: “What would Hermione do?” Because if the books were about Hermione, Voldy would’ve been dead by book 3 No, but seriously: -Passion projects in undergrad -work on your resume extensively (clubs, internships, etc) there’s so many opportunities out there! -And (sadly) most importantly: STUDY FOR YOUR…
When someone shows you who they are, believe them The First Time!
Don’t listen to the outside noise and do you. Find what makes you happy and listen to your heart. It’s your life and nobody else can live it for you so make sure you make a decision that YOU are happy with! Keep an open mind throughout this process. What may have been your first choice may turn out to not be after…
Apply wide. Really wide. Embarrassingly wide. Then let the dust settle and make the smartest boring decision available. Prestige is a fine thing until you’re paying for it with money you don’t have chasing outcomes that aren’t guaranteed. The humble path taken confidently beats the prestigious path taken anxiously…
— Apply much earlier in the cycle than I did. Schools are more likely to take a chance on someone earlier in the cycle. — Update: I am differing my acceptance to UMiami for a year and will attend UMiami as part of the class of 2026. — Another update: not going to law school! Becoming a social worker instead! Kinda…
I hope you appreciate yourself for how far you’ve already come. For how graceful you carried yourself through the different seasons of your life. For the strength you held yourself with through every challenge that you had to face. For the hope you kept up during uncertain times.

Everything seems impossible until it is done.
Start the personal statement earlier than you think you need to. It was the thing delaying me from applying earlier, because I wasn’t sure what to write about, or I wasn’t happy with what I had written.
-3.2 undergrad degree gpa but LSAC converts it to 2.7 from junior college transcripts a longgg time ago earned an MPA after undergrad worked full time through school
GPA > WE I naively thought WE would benefit me in the admissions process but was wrong. My 3.77 went to a 3.5 after a challenging semester of 18 credits and 2 different jobs at 45+ hours per week.
Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.
Learn about the world, and form your own thoughts and opinions, do not simply repeat what you hear/ read. The most important thing in life is posterity.
Though you can apply on the deadline and receive an admissions offer, I highly advise against it. (◕_◕) All the best to you applicants!
