LSAT 145 GPA 3.51 2021–22 cycle

Attending Wake Forest University

…Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for being waitlisted at top schools with a 145. However, I think I was a bit unrealistic, but it worked out, so do what you want with that information. **Decision Process: ** I walked away from a dean fellowship and full ride from Penn State for Wake Forest at the very…

when the chile is tea but the finna is gag sis i’m dead as a chile below is what happens when you apply late aka in a frenzy late-January to early February (waitlists lol)… if you’re in the same boat as me, make sure you apply widely.

Attending University of Virginia

…that often end up disappointed and/or stuck on perpetual waitlists. Don’t only craft your Why X essay to your top school: your Top School should be a place that really strikes home to you for reasons of personal connection and fit, and you should try your hardest to subtly tailor your PS towards that school in…

LSAT 165 GPA 3.76 2023–24 cycle

Admitted to Arizona State University

It’s not over until it’s over. I applied to most all of my schools in November, and by February I was either waitlisted or rejected at all my targets and reaches and I only got into safeties. I applied to ASU on a whim because I was interested despite being below both medians and late in the cycle, fully expecting…
