Admitted to University of Houstonrefreshing 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…
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
All it takes is one, never forget that. (◕‿◕) As I have finally paid my first deposit on April 13, 2026 (Yay!), I wanted to leave a few thoughts here for anyone who might be reading this. I know nothing, so take everything I write with a grain of salt. GPA and LSAT will get you in the door, softs will make or break…
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…
Took the LSAT 4 times from Aug-Nov 155 > 161 > Cancelled > 166 All it takes is just one committee to believe in you. You will be a lawyer and that is all that matters!
legalSeparateSatyr left great wisdom for posterity… (◕U◕) Applied to Marquette, Houston, and Miami with a 160, Do LSAT prep early, testing preferably June and latest October, and start your personal statement at least 4 months before applying. No you are not late for starting applications after, it does make it…
ExcitedDuck - my gpa sucked because my undergrad was way too tough for no rzn. I’m a cisgender Asian female born in Canada. Believe in yourself, no law related employment whatsoever. I literally got depressed because I was so worried about getting letters. I studied full time for the lsat which I think helped. My…
For transparency, I’m attending Vanderbilt based on very personal reasons that also make the cost of living zero. If you’re looking at my profile and are weighing similar options, I would have gone to either UT or Northwestern if it weren’t for these circumstances. Go Commodores!

Take undergrad seriously! Ask for letters of rec three months before you plan to send in apps. Take frequent breaks to avoid burnout when studying for the LSAT. Get involved in extracurricular activities that aren’t academic! Write LOCIs when waitlisted if you are serious about attending a school. Wishing you the…
My cycle took 158 days. Go Blue Devils! Here’s some unsolicited advice: shoot your shot. I was pretty convinced that T-14 admissions or scholarships would be largely unattainable for me because of my below-median LSAT - but remember, numbers are only part of your application. More unsolicited advice: STUDY STUDY…
You are so much smarter, more qualified, and more interesting than you think you are! Don’t get in your own way.
If anyone finds it interesting that someone with my stats got waitlisted to BLS, PM me.
Never reveal everything you know.
Don’t let good be the enemy of great. Instead of waiting until the last minute to submit your apps because you’re paralyzed over whether or not your Personal Statement and Resume are good enough (like I did), be ok with “good” and prioritize getting your applications in earlier in the cycle.
Cycle is complete and wow what a journey. I want to give at much information as possible to help y’all. LSAT: Started studying using Blueprint during winter break of my junior year. Got up to a 161, got a 155 on the at home LSAT in April of that same year. I really liked the Blueprint course for lives classes and a…
