as I’ve been saying to all my friends: IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER!!!! You absolutely have a chance at that school up until getting an R—stay sane, and remember that sometimes the cycle is just slow!

Admitted to Texas A&M UniversityLORs were the most annoying part of the application process for me. Had all my app components compete in September but didn’t get my last LOR until December. Ask for more letters than you need. I asked 6 months in advance but unfortunately both of my Professors managed to injure themselves in such a way that they…

Just remember, time is not linear. Your law school of choice has already been decided, you just haven’t gotten to it yet. Relax, and enjoy the ride.
I started this page to keep family and friends updated on the admissions process, but am keeping public incase it might provide any helpful info to others!
refreshing this website cannot be your only hobby please go play some baseball or something. have everyone read your essays. make sure they aren’t nice about it. it’s like pulling teeth sometimes but you need them to tell you everything you can improve on. apply broadly and apply early. financial aid matters way…
Hello! This will be a report of my decisions/recap of my cycle so far. It will be updated as decisions come in. Below my recount of decisions, you can find my wisdom for any potential future applicants looking at my profile. University of Houston - Result: Acceptance. January 15, 2026 My first decision of the cycle…
My handle is the same on Reddit if you have any questions (or if you want to view my cycle recap which includes more about me), and do feel free to DM there (as I don’t check this often). Best of luck to you in your application cycle! I’m so grateful to have received the AnBryce scholarship, and I have a lot of…
Don’t be like me. Seriously… I am the poster-child of how NOT to go about this process. I chose to get around 1.5 years of work experience after college, thinking I could reach my goal LSAT (170) in a year while working in a high-stress, full-time job. I was very, VERY wrong. I knew I didn’t want to wait another…
Follow me; I’ll have some wisdom once I see how this cycle turns out lol. Atp, it’ll just be the blind leading the blind. UPDATE As the 2023-24 cycle is nearing its end, I am now wise enough about the LSA process to provide some valuable insight on what to expect. To preface this, let me begin by making it clear…
LawyerInEmbryo says slip in a $20 with your application
Recognize how much of a blessing it is that you can offset your four-year GPA with your two-hour LSAT score. STUDY FOR THE TEST AND TAKE PREP TESTS WEEKLY.
talk about yourself!! scores aren’t everything :)) but also weigh your long-term goals/dream city against any debt you take out. I have friends in BL who are trapped there by loans
Making my profile public in the hope that it can help and encourage others with a similar background. TL;DR: A late 20s/early 30s non-trad applicant (military + community college) with a 171/4.00 who applied mid-to-late cycle and outperformed expectations (HLS bound). Key takeaways: know your why, bet on yourself,…
Law school is important, but it isn’t everything. There is more to life than where you go to school or how well you score. Take time to be with your family or friends. Go experience something new. Do something nice for someone else. Law school is not worth the time, effort, or money if it denies you the joys of…
Don’t let the negativity get you down! There was so much negativity around me from the moment I started sharing I wanted to go to law school up until now (So much gatekeeping energy). The way so many voices seemed to say only stats matter or implied my story wouldn’t cut it made me so nervous. However, even if…
shoot your shot!!! you never know. but also be sure the story is cohesive and compelling. you want to be able to demonstrate that you know why you’re going to law school, you’re ready to take on the academic challenge, and you’ll be an active and engaged member of the school’s community. for example, aside from…
If you underperformed your stats, play the waitlist game!!! You can differentiate yourself from other applicants by doing as much as possible during the pre-1L summer. Get an internship in an unrelated field, get a job, volunteer, just do something. As you can see, I received zero T20 acceptances and was waitlisted…
