Cycle recap with a twist

For those interested in an extra data point, here was my cycle. nURM, average applicant, 16high 3.6low.

ASU- $$+
Fordham- $$+
GULC- dong
Cornell- dong
USC- WL
BU- WL
NDLS- WL
UT- WL
UMN- $$$
UF- $$$+
WUSTL- WL
UGA- $$$
Boulder- $$

I'm withdrawing all my applications.

To be honest, I was in a hurry to become a white-collar working professional and make a respectable salary. Not everyone (least of all the KJDs with zero experience in the labor force) would want to work in a law office 40+ hours a week, which is why I recommend taking a gap year to test the waters. Imagine doing something you hate AND having 6-figure debt to your name :( it doesn't have to be that way. There are many other professions that pay better than law, have better work environments and have serious shortages of smart, driven candidates who can get the job done. It's never too late to make that change (not in my experience, at least).

I wish you all the best!!!

    Wait, so even though you got accepted with scholarships, you’re still withdrawing?
