…172 in March. While I submitted most of my applications by early November, I took advantage of my improved LSAT score in March and applied to Duke, UT, GULC, and NDLS. It’s important to note that my application faced significant C&F challenges, which I believe played a significant role in some of the…

16 entries matching "early decision"
Admitted to University of Texas at Austin…**Nov. 14, ACCEPTED - UCLA took six days to respond with a decision which is absolutely absurd, especially considering that applicants are still waiting for an answer in early April. I don’t know what they liked in my application, but I **Arizona State Univ.: **Nov. 16, ACCEPTED - ASU was a backup for me, but I was…
30,000-foot View Advice: Apply Early:- I have all too many friends who applied later in the process and got totally shut out of schools that they may well have gotten an acceptance from had they applied early. This year (2024-25) was unique in the volume increase in applicants, so maybe with schools being better…
…what separate you from other applicants. Ultimately, my decision came down to UCLA, Michigan, Duke, and Virginia. I loved all four of their environmental programs. Virginia came in with the lowest scholarship offer of any of my acceptances, and UCLA was just a little too far away from home, so it became a battle…
CONCLUDED 4/27/2023. BEST WISHES TO ALL WHO COME AFTER. Gonna do this by first giving some opening info, then making a list by date of admissions decision, and finish by giving a summary and final remarks. Read it all, skip to the end for my folk wisdom, or just look at my app chart; it’s all up to you. Intro I…
Wrote Why X statement for Stanford Some advice for future applicants: Apply as early as possible (by which I mean as soon as you are confident your application is ready). There is absolutely no reason not to (that I’m aware of). I’ve spent most of this cycle regretting submitting in mid-October instead of early or…
…I kept feeling this pull of fate towards UVA. I got in so early, and they showed such a belief in me and my abilities, that it felt as though that was where I needed to be. While I will update this with my final decision, I think UVA is the school I was meant to be at. My belief in myself and indomitable will…
I actually completed two cycles and took my LSAT 3 times total. I was extremely excited to apply to UNC and UT– I think it showed in my essays. I didn’t apply early in either cycle (and it likely hurt me). But, I still ended up with great options– if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. Deciding between UT and UNC…
…Didn’t get them done until the end of November and early December. Messed up and didn’t submit my application to Michigan until late, despite finishing it in late November. Wrote my personal statement on marching band; I feel like I could’ve done more to explain in the personal statement why that experience would…
LSAT 161 GPA 3.99 2024–25 cycle
Attending University of Texas at Austin
Apply early and to as many schools as feasible to give yourself options! You never know what could happen if you are not willing to take a risk and apply to some reach schools. Do not be afraid to take the LSAT more than once if you know that you can do better and increase your score. Be genuine and tell your story…
when the chile is tea but the finna is gag sis i’m dead as a chile below is what happens when you apply late aka in a frenzy late-January to early February (waitlists lol)… if you’re in the same boat as me, make sure you apply widely. UT was kind of spur of the moment based on my Feb LSAT result and it’s where I’m…
…format for an entire year, but also due to my **graduating early **and working throughout my time in school). As such, I’m hoping that my work experience will carry my résumé. Where possible, I wrote Why X’s that connected my technology work background to my goals in law and each school’s particular offerings. My…
…before applying. Attended LSAC Forums (virtual one cycle early, in-person during my cycle), which helped refine my school list. Had a Service to School mentor—highly recommend for veterans. Most materials were ready by late September, but I waited until November for my academic LOR to submit applications. Personal…
…DS, LSAT addendum Penn - just DS USC - DS, sent Why USC in early March, ended up sending another LOCI at the very beginning of June stating that I am extremely interested and deposited at UCLA across town. I told them that if they give me X amount of scholarship money, I WILL attend. I received II next day and had…
After taking the LSAT in January 2021, I applied to Minnesota on March 1st, 2021 (the only school I applied to during the 2020-21 cycle), and was waitlisted in early May. I knew it was probably because I had applied so late in the cycle, but it was still devastating and caused me to doubt my ability to get into law…
