Admitted to Syracuse UniversityTake a deep breath, get yourself a cinnamon roll, and watch the office <3 ““You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” -Wayne Gretzky” -Michael Scott I panic applied to so many schools because I was unsure how my cycle would turn out as a reverse splitter. My cycle is proof that the LSAT isn’t everything! My…
If you are in undergrad and you know you want to go to law school, don’t graduate with a low GPA. Definitely don’t graduate with a sub-3 GPA. Ask me how I know. Just keep taking classes until you can get it up as high as you can. If you’re already out of undergrad and you fucked up and got a low GPA (especially if…
They didnt see the vision
Applying during the 2024-2025 cycle. Currently in grad school and will update throughout the year. Used fee waivers for all application fees and all but 10 CAS fees. Did not negotiate with any school since most got back to me after I was happy with other offers.
Work so hard that it is UNREASONABLE for you NOT to succeed. Always, Always, Always, BET ON YOU!!
The lord will open the doors, just have faith. Love Jesus.
For Anyone Creeping In The Future GPA ADDENDUM: Multiple family members die in my junior year so my gpa tanked. Outside of my first semester (i’m bad at science), I had Dean’s List every semester until the start of my senior year where the grief really hit me. EXTRACURRICULARS: I had multiple leadership positions…
After 20 years out of high school, a full professional career, and raising my 18-year-old son as a single mother… I am finally attending law school. I just graduated from undergrad in May 2023, so my journey is very different than most, but my advice is all the same… shoot your shot, especially as a minority or…
Applying for law school after graduating a year early in 2021 with a degree in political science. I took my first LSAT in August 2022, retook it in October and scored 165. Was debating on taking the LSAT once more in January but ultimately decided against it because I wanted to finish applying to schools before the…
Do note that I have estimated certain scholarship figures when not awarded as a numerical sum. In cases of a “full tuition” or proportional scholarship, I assumed a 5% increase in all costs per year. You may have noticed that I received a particularly high number of CAS report fee waivers. This was in part due to my…

Trust in God’s plan man!
You miss every shot you don’t take
Don’t let a bad GPA get you down, it is what it is.
Don’t know if anyone wants to learn from me, but: -Have a compelling, specific, reason to go to law school and articulate it clearly. I specified in my PS why I need a JD to accomplish my professional goals. Sounds obvious, but it’s easier said than done, especially in a huge pool of bright, talented, passionate,…
Don’t get caught up in pre-law toxicity. Keep your business to yourself. You are more than your stats–you’re a wonderful human being with incredible aspirations! Pay attention to your instincts and make a decision about law school based on how happy you think you’ll be. Rankings matter but so does…
