I'm starting to feel like I'll never get into law school. I live in the DC area and have to stay here for work, and though I know the surrounding schools are very competitive, I'm just not sure what to do beyond just taking the LSAT over and over until I hopefully crack 170.
My current score is 165, my aggregate GPA was dragged down by my first year of college (leaving a cult and its associated university at the time), but it's still close enough to the median I'd need. I worked full-time for the rest of my degree program between a community college and UMGC (online).
Because most of my professors were online, I've never met any of them, and it doesn't really make sense to ask for a recommendation from someone I've never spoken to. As for my career, I've essentially worked in e-commerce for the past 10 years. That doesn't really translate well for most people. Finally, I have no diversity bonus points for an add-on essay.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm on year 2 of waitlists without a single interview.
No, my personal essays are not dwelling on the items listed above. I don't mean to rant or complain, but I'm having a tough time. I'm not really sure what I'll do next if I'm never admitted.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I wish I had several thousand dollars to shell out to an admissions councilor, but I just don't right now. I wish everyone else the best of luck!
