…for UMN and NU; Zoom interview for WashUAdvice: Apply early so you can have some decisions in before the EOY.- Take some time after undergrad to work in the legal field to determine if it’s right for you.

…through it, is so important for your wellbeing! Applying early making a difference depends on the school- , and by that I really just mean apply early to Duke for a chance. Lol.

…. They can’t afford to risk their medians by admitting you early, and will generally only do so once they have solidified their GPA median. Not every school will be in this position, nor will every school need another high LSAT to boost that median, which is why you need to apply widely and why you shouldn’t get…
…in my acceptances and scholarships, as well as applying early (in October/early November). If an essay is optional, do it.
