…not a good match for them and they saw that too. I went KJD because I felt my resume/background/stats was strong enough to get me into my schools without work experience. But honestly, getting some work experience would’ve made my application stronger– and I probably could’ve gotten some better scholarships. Okay,…

Admitted to Stanford University…lost. Now on to business: Background: I decided to apply KJD for a number of personal reasons, but I want to emphasize the fact that this was *a calculated risk *and that I was prepared to reapply should I have not gotten the results I wanted. Quite frankly, I believe the KJD disadvantage will only grow in the years…
Don’t listen to the people telling you not to be KJD (or in my case super KJD). They are right that you need time to prepare, but they are wrong in thinking that the clock only starts after you graduate. Take the LSAT as early as possible, apply as early as possible, and believe in yourself. A lack of work…
…GENERATIONS - More loading… If you’re on track to be a KJD, I sincerely encourage you to consider doing otherwise. My three-ish years in the workforce have been invaluable for a number of concrete reasons. In addition to building my resume, I now know how to: do excellent work; supervise and be supervised; navigate…
…to me so that’s what I prioritized. PRE-CYCLE NOTES (Super KJD) I entered undergrad with most of my first-year gen-eds fulfilled by AP credit. (LSAT) I took the LSAT three times: 158 –> 163 –> 162 I probably should have canceled the third test since I was happy with my second score, but I had already paid for it, so…
…rec letters are a good idea! I included 2 as a KJD, and it has gone pretty well. Things I wish I knew: NEVER count yourself out! I thought about applying to Knight-Hennessy early on, and then thought I didn’t have a shot/that it was too much work. Regretting that now haha, I may have had a chance!- High-stat KJDs…
…the t3, i think i would have wondered about applying kjd. if you can take time off, and especially take time off and get work experience, it’s rarely if ever a bad idea to do so. i didn’t have a great reason for going straight through; i wanted to do the lsat while i was still in test-taking mode from undergrad, and…
…I think having clear reasons for Why Law and (as a KJD in particular) Why Now was real important. Good luck with ur cycles!
…for any schools that had prompts. Otherwise, very boring KJD who’s had a lot of luck this cycle :)
KJD but graduated from undergrad with BA & MA in 4 years. Withdrew from Stanford, Columbia, Penn, and Duke before receiving official scholarship offers. Did not negotiate for more aid from schools.
…originally dead-set on wanting to go completely through KJD, but the pandemic happened and it didn’t work out (I didn’t want to do Zoom University School of Law). Honestly, so thankful it happened that way (everything happens for a reason as the cliche goes.) I was not emotionally, mentally, psychologically,…
