Applying early making a difference depends on the school- , and by that I really just mean apply early to Duke for a chance. Lol.

Start EARLY. Start your personal essays much earlier than you think, they take a lot of time. 7sage has a list of every school and what their essays are so you don’t have to bounce around LSAC.
