I'm applying to Law Schools now, my apps went complete in early January after winter break, and have been a little discouraged by my results...
I applied to 5 schools. Some were definitely reaches but there were one or two where I felt like I was a match. My stats are 164 and 3.1 (in finance) and I have been working at a prestigious company in the SouthEast for a year.
I've been R/WL by schools where I'm about 25-40th percentile LSAT. I know I'm on the below avg side there and my GPA is way lower, but I had hoped my UG leadership might make up for that.
Does anyone have any intel or hunches about whether a strong resume is just not exceptional enough to really help? I was SGA President of a 30,000 person student body (elected in a vote of 10,000+) among other strong leadership positions, and was able to make connections that should serve as impressive rec's.
Trying not to feel discouraged... the cycle isn't over!!
