Hi everyone! I had a question. I took the LSAT in April 2026 and applied for schools in June 2026, so I was very late to the 2026 admissions cycle. One school waitlisted me but essentially asked for me to reapply for the 2027 cycle and even told me when their applications open (hopefully a good sign!). When reapplying, should I reuse my personal essay or write a new one? I really liked how the essay turned out, but I don't want to be seen as lazy. I am a first-generation law applicant, so I am unsure how this works. Thank you!

I am also reapplying, from the research I’ve done, you should try to write a new essay or improve your current one. They will still have your old essay so writing a new one just allows admissions to know even more about your candidacy
@Futurelawyer7916292 Thank you! I will do that.
