Admitted to Texas A&M University…shot maybe? Put in as much time as you can on the LSAT Retake until you’re at a score you’re happy with, or at/above medians of the schools you’re excited about. It is the best use of your time for getting into law school, and worth more than any amount of time you spend working on your personal statement (but do…
…for some reason, got very lucky and did not have to retake. Graduating a year early (Super KJD). Standard pre-law major and somewhat difficult course load (18-21 credits per semester).

At the time, after living on r/LSAT, I really didn’t know what my outcome would be and felt I didn’t do…
…your essays early. If you’re waiting on a recommender or retaking the test late, fine! But have everything else 100% ready to send. Don’t be afraid to apply to law schools as an older, non-traditional student with gaps in education history and/or mediocre work history! My GPA was low thanks to dropped classes and…
