    I applied to 26(!) law schools last Fall 2021 and I reacted to the decisions I received. I applied to a good range of schools, from safeties to reaches.
    Comment down below if you want to guess where I will be heading this Fall 2022!

    I respect you for not being the basic "I am nervous to get into Law School with my 170 LSAT and 3.9 GPA" reaction video, it's not easy shooting your shot not knowing how it will go.

    Thanks for this video, what I can say about the waitlists is that you need to be vigilant on staying in communication with the school. Also, I had a friend get waitlisted at unc and he retook the lsat during his waitlist time, scored 4 points better and contacted the school. They took another look at his package and he was offered an acceptance letter. Remember, law schools want to see if you are teachable especially in this situation where you were waitlisted by a lot of schools. Good luck on your journey.

      You honestly don't need to know the exact answer... just base it from the schools she got denied and waitlisted for. Most schools were in the middle of the rankings which need median scores in the 150's. She's a minority just like myself so schools tend to take that into consideration since a lot of schools are heavy with white privilege that they want to be diverse. Most of your top ranked schools are in the east towards north east. Pretty much from north carolina up to Connecticut

    I know there are reach schools and I know humans cope with justification. But saying it was expected is not a good starting statement for your legal career. It’s a stretch sure but no one applies expecting to be rejected. Also 26 schools is way too many. 15 should be the max and even that’s pushing it. Anything over that and you can’t give ample enough time to each application. There is more to law school then just acceptance how well you do on applications factors into a lot. Also don’t apply to Harvard if you aren’t anywhere close to their range it’s not a shoot yoir shot kinda thing. They have a question literally asking people if they seriously believe they will get in because so many people just apply for no reason.

      @@bryangomez1384 based off the schools she got accepted to I would say in the low to mid 150's. She's also considered a minority like myself so schools tend to be more lenient on scores to try and be more diverse. For instance I've known two guys (African american) that got into Columbia and yale with lsat scores of 167 and 169 and their ugpa's were around a 3.6. Very rare but it can happen depending on their soft skills. A lot of top tier schools suffer in diversity so shoot your shot.

    • @johnnyzeee5215
      @johnnyzeee5215 2 роки тому

      Perhaps. I have my doubts. These institutions are there for one thing. To squeeze as much money as they can out of people, any way they can. So let's say 26 law schools at, conservatively, $ 200 each, non - refundable application fee. That $ 5,200. Now perhaps the young lady's family is well - off, and that wasn't a major expense. Or they view anything spent on education as a wise investment n the future. Which it very well may be. But, if we are to believe the usual, liberal - media narrative about " financially struggling college student, about to take on hundreds of thousands in student loans for law school....", etc. This does appear to be quite a foolish and irresponsible waste of money on her part.
