Welcome to my profile! Feel free to peruse my “decision diary” below :) April 20, 2026: WL -> R @ Wisconsin Okay, I guess that’s one less LOCI to write? I don’t know if I would have wrote one anyway. I have NO clue what Wisconsin admissions is looking for this year, but I guess it’s not me. March 30, 2026: R @ USC I…

Changing my profile to public to show that there is hope for splitters! Shoot your shot! If you’re concerned about your stats, pour your heart out into those essays. Have multiple people give you honest, critical feedback - it will go a long way. Tips for essays: Take time to really reflect on why you want to go to…
Just remember, time is not linear. Your law school of choice has already been decided, you just haven’t gotten to it yet. Relax, and enjoy the ride.
We can try to boil everything down to GPA and LSAT, but each applicant’s circumstances are different. Apply to schools you could actually see yourself attending–your applications will be a lot more compelling, which is especially important if you are a splitter like me. Instead of blanketing the T14, target schools…
My top 5 takeaways: Apply early You probably can’t game HYS Be explicit about what you want your LORs to talk about Sign up for webinars with your CAS email Free resources work 1. Apply early: I can’t identify why I was WLed at each school, but I expect timing had something to do with my Michigan and UCLA WL. I put…
Wow what I cycle I had! I wish everyone who comes across my profile the best of luck in their law school journey. I will try and impart my best advice. – Ranking the most important parts of your application: Get the best LSAT you can. Your highest score is the only one that matters. I had a 161 and a 176 (don’t call…
I spent some time working as an engineer. I never considered a law degree in my undergrad, I was just trying to make it through. I decided in March that I wanted to pursue law and took the LSAT in June 2024, using the free LawHub and KhanAcademy tests. Hopefully this cycle will prove fruitful, and it can give…
I entered into this cycle fully expecting to be humbled, that despite my stats I would be met with WL/Rs in the increasingly competitive admissions world. I spent A LOT of time on my materials and researching how different schools would work for my interests. Meaningfully researching every school I applied to and…
I started this page to keep family and friends updated on the admissions process, but am keeping public incase it might provide any helpful info to others!
I am making my profile public to give people a look at what a low GPA application cycle high LSAT cycle looks like. I am an R&R applicant so… second time’s the charm? Check out my cycle from last year if you’re curious i guess: https://lsd.law/creep/FriendlyJustifiableTiger122
Relax as much as possible before LSAT, try to take your mind off it until the last second! Don’t decide against a school preemptively based on scholarship data. I almost didn’t apply to the school that gave me some of the most money, the one I ended up going to, because I thought they wouldn’t give me any money! At…
refreshing 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…
Definitely the right decision to take the money, hurt like hell turning down HLS/SLS though. But Philly is great, the people Penn are fantastic—they all keep pushing “collegiality” but it is a real thing here—and the job opportunities are pretty much the same either way. Advice: don’t neglect your recommendation…
Take a deep breath, get yourself a cinnamon roll, and watch the office <3 ““You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” -Wayne Gretzky” -Michael Scott I panic applied to so many schools because I was unsure how my cycle would turn out as a reverse splitter. My cycle is proof that the LSAT isn’t everything! My…
don’t trust everything you read on reddit or in the LSData chat - most of them have also not yet gotten into law school so they’re not exactly an authority on where you should or should not apply. do what you want. no DS- I had an LSAC fee waiver that covered 3 CAS fees in addition to 1 CAS fee waiver for…
Follow me; I’ll have some wisdom once I see how this cycle turns out lol. Atp, it’ll just be the blind leading the blind. UPDATE As the 2023-24 cycle is nearing its end, I am now wise enough about the LSA process to provide some valuable insight on what to expect. To preface this, let me begin by making it clear…
I’ve enjoyed seeing what other people have written here when they do write something so I figured I’d give my advice (LSAT/apps/essays) to the wind for anyone willing to read it: LSAT My diagnostic was 152, ended up with a 166 after studying for like a month lol. You can get a lot out of free content if you don’t…
