Hey all - I am alive! And, I’m going to law school :)
LSATcantwin
Alum Member Sage ⭐
Hey everyone, I’ve been MIA the past couple months. I took not getting into any school pretty hard and had to do a lot of re-evaluation of my life. I took on a second job and have been working 70 hour weeks.
Today, however, I got an e-mail from Northwestern School of Law offering me a spot off of their waitlist. I accepted the spot and will be flying out to a Chicago within a week to start my 1L year at NU.
I had to come back to 7Sage to express my deepest thanks to everyone in this community. From JY, to @"Cant Get Right" to every single person I worked with through this process on the forums, thank you so much for everything you have done to make my dream of attending a T-14 Law School come true.
For everyone out there still struggling and climbing that mountain, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t. If you work full-time you can make your dreams come true. If you have a bad gpa, you don’t have work experience, or you are struggling with the LSAT, push through. Your hard work WILL PAY OFF. Do not listen to the plethora of naysayers that will haunt you along the way. Stay positive, stay motivated and keep your goal in sight. I promise you if you do that, and never give up, you will eventually be where you want to be.
I can’t describe how much this community means to me, and even in my absence I’ve still thought about each and every one of you. Again thank you 7Sage from the bottom of my heart.

Congrats!!!
Congrats! Mind sharing stats in private message? When'd you apply?
Love these posts. Congrats! Funny you posted these motivating words, I've been beating myself up the last few days and wanted to give up. Best of luck to you!
I’m an open book about it:
171 LSAT
2.83 cGPA
Military vet/10 years work experience
I applied mid-January
@LSATcantwin lol you again! Just asked you the same question on Reddit. I'm really happy for you and you deserve it =]
Shushhh don’t give me away
Congratulations!!!!!!! You deserve it! You've given back so much to this community and I wish you the best of luck in Chicago!!
I've reread some of your posts when I've been very stressed out about studying and they have helped so much. I'm so happy things worked out for you.
Congrats!
OH GOSH, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Was wondering where you disappeared from the forum.
That's big! So incredibly happy for ya! I hope you the time you spend celebrating is victory is directly proportional to the effort/perseverance/sweat/tears that's gone into this entire process.
Congrats!!
I could cry! Congrats!!! I randomly thought of you during the UCI webinar, and hoped you had heard back from a school. You’ve given so much of your self to this community, and it has definitely been better for it.
Congrats! Genuinely happy for you. You definitely earned it.
Edit: woah, so you're the guy with the flair (if you know what I mean). all this time I hadn't realized
I have kept up with your posts and this makes me incredibly happy . Congrats
, you deserve it .
What’s a flair
Congratulations!! I really needed to read those words of encouragement. Best wishes to you!!
Yay! Huge congrats! You deserve it and I'm so happy for you!
Congrats! Hope Chicago treats you well!

Congratulations and thank you for words of encouragement! Good luck with everything
Yaaaay that's super inspiring to hear! Congrats(:
Great work!
congrats! when does law school there officially start? yours is one of the best stories told on this forum for sure!
Starts Monday morning haha....and I am still in Cali...
It's going to be interesting, I need to quit two jobs and fly out to Chicago asap...
Congrats !
I agree with Dave! Wow, what a wild ride it has been for you. I'm so happy of the final result. Do great things in Chicago!
So happy for you man!! Congrats!
Always was hoping the best for you man, you made a big impact on the forums and i'm sure you will have a bigger one at Northwestern. You deserve this
congrats! thanks for all the advice!
Congratulations!!! And what a crazy (though not unheard of) last minute decision on their part. I hope this week leading up to the start of classes isn't too hectic. And this also gives me and others some hope to have hope until the very last minute.
@LSATcantwin I seriously had tears in my eyes reading your post. I had been wondering about you recently but didn't want to bother you. This is such wonderful news!! I am just so crazy happy that you got off one of the waitlists!!
I will always miss your very inspiring posts - for those of us with low GPAs you will live on in infamy! Thank you for being a part of this community and never giving up!! I hope you come back and tell us about your adventure.
Holy cow, you are starting school in four days!!!!! YEAH!!!!!
Dude, yes!!!!! Finally! You deserve it and have earned this spot since day uno. Lots of luck man, please come back and remember us still working for your dream come true!!!
From 2.83 to T14...do call it a come back!! Congrats, you deserve it!!
That is so awesome! Congrats!!! Your story is incredibly inspirational! You're going to crush it!!!
@KLGMK550 thought this might help ease your worries
So glad to hear this. Thanks for mentioning it and very happy for you.
CONGRATS!!!!
Northwestern just gained a great future lawyer! Congrats!
Congrats! It's encouraging to see a veteran gain entrance to a T14!
So good to hear about your stats...it's really inspiring! I have 4 years military experience but will have 5 by the time I apply and have an almost identical GPA....Now I just need to get an amazing LSAT score like you! I've been so discouraged by my low GPA (I was an English major but had to take calc and physics for my ROTC scholarship which ruined my good GPA), but it definitely makes me feel better hearing about someone in a similar situation getting into a T14 school! I myself have my sights on University of Michigan!
Congrats again!!
I'm so happy for you. Have been very inspired by your resilience and determination.
This is so inspiring. I am so happy for you!!! congratulations! I honestly got the chills reading this & am so encouraged by this post. Thank you so much for sharing.
Congrats! Your posts have been a huge inspiration to me and I'm so happy to see this!
