I also work full time and am studying. It's difficult, stressful and exhausting. I'm lucky enough to also have time at work to study, which honestly makes this experience much easier for me. Like it's been mentioned before, that isn't an option for everyone. I tend to stay more motivated when I am busy, which isn't the case for everyone, but maybe try that? If I keep myself busy at work, whether it's studying or actual work, I try to keep my mind going the whole time. If I can manage that, then by the time I get home, I'm still motivated to keep going because of all that I've accomplished in the day so far. If your job allows a lunch break, ALWAYS use it to study and eat. That's an hour that you can get out of the way during the day before you get home to cram in another few.

I know it's really difficult to do, but know you're not alone! We're all here for you and share any tips you might come up with!

Does anyone have an opinion on sending another LOR? I got "priority waitlisted," at my top school, but also got into my second school. I sent similar information about needing to place a deposit at X school that has admitted me before knowing anything from Y school, even though Y school is my number one. I feel you pain as well about working full time. Extending leases, fiance job searching wherever I commit to go, saving money for a move, it's a PAIN and so stressful.

I have sent a pretty lengthy email LOCI to my waitlisted school, but they've also suggested that I send in more information about new awards or a change in employment. I work at a tech company and have been very up front that I plan on attending school this fall. My employment is advocating for me to shadow our legal team because of it's alignment with my future goals. I know this isn't a promotion technically, but should I have someone write me a LOR stating I've been given this opportunity?

I'm not really sure what to do and I know I'm better suited for my waitlisted school, and it would be easier for my finance to job search in this school's location (adulting is hard). If anyone has any recommendations on what I should do, please let me know!

Did anyone else’s answer sheet get wet?!

I just got an email from LSAC saying my answer sheet got wet in transit and they had to hand grade my answers. Did anyone else get this? I’m super worried and concerned that my test didn’t get graded correctly. Is there anything I should be doing/contacting LSAC about?

Are you sure?
