Admitted to University of VirginiaTrying to be as detailed as I possibly can for posterity. **Stats Background: ** LSAT 172 (September) –> 179 October. -Didn’t write an LSAT addendum even though I increased 7 points in a month. Underperformed slightly on my first test likely due to lack of sleep the night before (I live in a loud area of campus and…
…allowed it (one from a former congressman) Wrote a GPA addendum (had a specific circumstance that affected grades) Took the LSAT four times, upward trend, did not write an addendum Wrote a “Why X” essay and other optional essays (where prompted) for nearly every school
…LSAT advice (I also used the Kaplan book). I wrote a GPA addendum addressing my low grades (which were all in my freshman spring due to a weirdly specific and difficult family situation). I also think having a few years of post-grad work experience helped soften the GPA blow and I sent a professional rec letter (in…
…in early Jan got the official dong on Jan 25th CLS LSAT addendum (one sentence Why CLS in PS) Why NYU Why UVA Why Berkeley Why Michigan Why Duke Why Cornell (in application/not separate attachment) Programmatic UCLA (in application/not separate attachment) Penn Core Strengths and Collaborative Environment Applied…
…then you can cancel without having to worry about the addendum when you get the score you want the next time. *I think this may have changed since I was in law admissions. I still think if you can do it you should. Write the optionals I know, I know. It’s a lot. But write them. It’s an easy way to show you’re…
…school about a specific disability, as well as a brief GPA addendum (grades are lower specifically in a particular semester due to an acute health issue; all other semesters are 3.9 - 4.0). 5 years WE; nothing particularly unique, but definitely related to my narrative– I think cohesion b/w my background & my…
…past. Softs: HYPSM undergrad (with tough course load + GPA addendum), prestigious post-grad fellowship, legal work experience, salient diversity statement I wrote Why Xs for UVA, Michigan, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, and Berkeley. Resources I swear by: 7Sage (both the LSAT materials and the $10 admissions course),…
…directly. My app is risky. I make poop jokes in my C&F addendum, my resume is formatted in an um interesting way, and I am very, very cavalier. While I personally view those risks as having paid off, they are not for everyone and I would recommend strongly considering how your risks fit into the context of the rest…
…to. Wrote all optional essays. Also included a LSAT addendum with my SAT scores to show a history of outperforming standardized test scores. NYU - got HTE, sent in a LOCI, was waitlisted. I submitted a LOCI each month and completed the interview. I received a feeler email on 7/28, I responded to it and then received…
…It was the lowest point in my life, and writing that addendum was tough. I believe it is absolutely essential to show contrition and put enough time between the incident and your application to show how you have changed. Fortunately for me, I had nearly a decade of working, promotions, and volunteering since my…
Completed all applications by the first week in October. Wrote at least one optional for all schools! 155 -> 167 -> 175 (No addendum written)
…was crucial in my acceptances. Additionally, my GPA addendum explains a few things that were out of my control that led to my grades, but I still took responsibility and illustrated my growth / what I learned from those experiences. Without the work experience to prove that growth, I highly doubt I would have been…
…from studying before the actual exam. **GPA: ** -Wrote an addendum addressing a neurological issue and several family deaths that all happened during undergrad. -Will also be 7 years removed from undergrad when starting law school. -Didn’t have a STEM major, but had a STEM-heavy course load. Personal Statement:…
I submitted apps super late :(. Addendum for low GPA due to undiagnosed ADHD in college. I wrote every optional essay I could!
