Hey everyone!
I wanted to share the good news, I got accepted into Washington University In St. Louis! From my first month of using 7sage, June, to now, I have found respite and great advice in these discussion forums. I never imagined myself to share some advice as well. So, here it is: do not give up, do not doubt yourself, you will always surprise yourself when you expect the least. If you have an LSAT score below a schools median do not shy away from applying just to save the $80. I had a 163, while WashU's median is a 169. Yet, they accepted me because of the overall holistic acceptance process. I would advice you too also use the Edit Once for your personal statement and/or diversity statements. These are major categories for admissions officers to look at. lastly, know why you want to go to law school. Your entire application will be built upon that foundation. Thank you everyone for creating this vibrant and supportive 7sage community. It has been a pleasure.
I feel the same way. So far I have written only one why statement for a top choice, explaining why I chose their school for early decision app, the school is Washington University Law. I plan on writing other why statements for schools that are not my top choices rather than writing why statements for all of my top choices. In my mind it is more likely that my top choices reject or wait-list me, and I do not want that to happen for the schools on my level because I did not give them a more thoughtful application. For me, those schools are Fordham, George Washington, Boston Uni.
Request your transcript to be sent once your junior year is complete and once you have your fall senior classes listed. This could be anytime from May 2021-September 2021
Around 7 questions. Just take what you would usually get wrong say 15 and multiply by .75, and you should get a good sense of how much you need to get wrong for the test. I say multiply by .75 because there is simply a 25% decrease in questions that are scored.
Thank you all so much for the kind words!
