here to give hope to reverse-splitters 🥰 dont listen to reddit - application materials > lsat score!! I was told by pre-law advisors/reddit to not even bother applying to half the schools i applied to, and I ended up receiving 2 T-14 full-tuition scholarships this past cycle let the admissions process be a personal…
STAY OFF OF r/lawschooladmissions! Unless you have one super specific question, all that subreddit will do is make you anxious. Just fill out your apps and chill! The stats on LSD aren’t definitive either– the people who post their stats exhaustively on here are probably skewed towards the higher end of scores. Try…
Never back down, never give up eeehhhhhhh-mazing. For the dream, the stream and the EH-Team. When I got my LSAT score I cried, I was PT-ing in high 170s but had a panic attack the night before and got a 168 with 3 hours of sleep. I got immensely depressed after taking the LSAT a part of my identity was ripped from…
You got this. Don’t let others define your goals or your success for you. UofO bound! Here are my thoughts at the end of my cycle: If you can renegotiate scholarships DO SO.- Using some of my other scholarship offers as leverage I was able to increase other offers at other schools. Take your peers advice with a…
I concede that statistics–GPA, LSAT–matter greatly; however, don’t let this hold you back from aiming higher. I spent ample time on drafting my PS, DS, and “Interest” statements; telling each admissions committee my unique story that didn’t necessarily project an answer to “why I’m a good fit.” I simply told my…
Insights from a WL King: Had sort of niche angle – application was oriented around Fintech Law. Not sure if that helped or hurt, but ultimately I think I mostly outperformed my profile numbers. Lord, please do not apply at the deadline if you can help it. You are fighting for the most competitive seats. Sign up for…
Cash Rules Everything Around Me (I am largely debt-adverse which informs the school I’ll choose)
Just have a really high LSAT score. I’m a New York Press Club award-winning journalist who has written for Rolling Stone, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, and many other outlets. I’m a decorated combat veteran. I graduated summa cum laude with a 3.98 GPA. My memoirs were recently published by a prestigious British…
Don’t compare yourself to others. Do your best to be your best and you will be successful.
Took June & October 2023 LSAT. Both were not my goal score, but I still applied to all law schools listed below. Ultimately decided to retake the exam one more time & did significantly better on the February of 2024 LSAT. I hope this is helpful to those who are discouraged or worried about taking the LSAT one last…
Prestige isn’t everything; what really matters is happiness and making an impact in the lives of others.
My goal is to graduate with as little debt as possible, ideally none :)
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds
Take time to study/reapply/get your shit together if need be! I feel a lot more ready to start law school now (2022) than I did when I applied for 2020. I’m looking at better scholarship offers, have more work experience, and more dedication to this path–good luck!!
Don’t spend every second of you day on LSD or reddit, I regret making this mistake. Decisions will come when they come, and literally nothing you can do to change that.

今度は今度. 今は今. Next time is next time. Now is now.
Apply to similarly ranked schools and leverage different scholarship offers to negotiate for more money! Remember, there is no shortcut to a dream. You got this!
