I planned on applying to other schools but received early decision acceptance very early in the cycle (pleasant). I got into my top school with a scholarship, and I never could have dreamed of getting into it after receiving my undergrad GPA. The following insights are ones that I wish I had known earlier in the…

Admitted to Washington and Lee University…just so you can submit in September.

…**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.

…at T-14 schools would have been much better had I applied earlier. I advise against applying early decision - don’t give up your chance to be wooed by admissions officers with great scholarship offers.

I went to Maryland Law for my 1L year (2022-2023) and then transferred doing the early decision program to Georgetown for 2L/3L (2023-2025). I had a 3.8ish GPA from Maryland (top 15% or so) when I applied to transfer. I got into Georgetown and GW as a transfer student! Go Hoyas 🐾💙🤪

Try to have your application ready as early in the cycle as possible. It felt like by the time I got a lot of my decisions schools were already just about full.
Hi! I was a lurker during the law school cycle, and wanted to wait before posting until I received all my decisions. I am sharing on here for data collection, and hopefully those who stumble upon this can find this helpful. I did not think I would get into any of the schools I applied to. I shot my shot, and I am SO…
…How I made decisions + thoughts and math on CoA (3 year total): Most of my withdraws happened after getting a full ride to UIUC. Schools I was most interested in post-offers: Davis, Iowa, W&L, UIUC. It came to Davis and Iowa, Davis barely won with their late scholarship increase. In the end it didn’t really matter,…
…later in the cycle to target schools (I can only speak to early Feb) if you have made positive changes in your application package.
