Got my first decision back today...

I am still on cloud nine, but I got my first admissions notification today.

In addition, to being accepted, I was awarded a full scholarship!

I am not a traditional applicant - it has taken me 9 years to finish my undergraduate degree and my GPA is sub 3.0 - when I first took the LSAT in 2017 I scored a 143.

Had it not have been for 7sage I would never have been able to increase my score so drastically and I doubt I would've been even seriously considered at any law school.

I never once entertained the idea of getting a scholarship - I thought that I would be lucky if any law school would look past my GPA and the various academic probations and dismissals that went along with my nine year journey.

Thank you to the whole 7sage team and especially my editor Ethan!

I wouldn't be here without you all.

    That's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I took twenty years to finish the last semester of undergrad. How crazy is that? I was a handful of classes shy of graduating and it took me TWENTY years to get around to it. This post makes me feel so hopeful. Congrats!
