Harvard Bound- Thank you 7sage

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to this truly incredible community. After a crazy cycle where in the beginning I literally thought I would get into no schools, I am honestly very shocked at the outcome. The LSAT is hard, but you can do it. I struggled with this test SO MUCH + struggled a lot with crippling anxiety plus family issues while studying for/taking this exam. I also was pretty much below the median at all of the top 3 schools after I got my highest score, which also goes to show that while the LSAT is extremely important, schools do take a holistic look at who you are, your background, and experiences. Having made my decision only a couple of days ago and being able to reflect, even though the process was stressful for the LSAT, I would not have changed how hard I worked and how dedicated I was. I was also very lucky to have many mentors and supporters believing in me when I did not believe in myself or my capabilities to do well. SO- remember to breathe. Tell yourself you can do this. Quiet the negative self talk because you CAN accomplish amazing things. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your dreams. Remember the LSAT is the last hurdle in a long line of many accomplishments you already have. It does not define you, but if you work hard, unexpected things can happen :) And of course, thank you to JY and to everyone invested in keeping 7sage going- making LSAT prep affordable and accessible truly makes the impossible possible for so many kids, so I hope you know how much you are appreciated.

    HOLY **** Congratulations!! and thank you so so much for sharing this. These stories are the fuel that keeps me going at times when I think I'm not making progress. Would it be okay to ask you questions via DM?? I have a relatively low GPA and think I have a unique story so your comment about "holistic" review piqued my interest. GL in Harvard and stay well!!! congratulations again!!
