Anyone else having 0 motivation to complete apps?

After a grueling study regime, writing 30 drafts of my personal statement, and sitting the LSAT twice, I cannot bring myself to complete my freaking applications. I've sent in most of them but NYU's scholarship essays are killing me -.- I've been staring at my LSAC screen for two weeks now willing myself to write the extra scholarship essays :'(

    Did U Michigan have an emotional toll on you? ;) hahahhaha jokes. Don't stop now you're almost at the finish line! Take a day off or something but get back into it soon. It's always good to have your apps in ASAP :)

    That's rough. But like @montaha.rizeq said above me, you're basically almost at the end zone. Also, time is ticking, so get them in ASAP. I've always been told that admissions officers receive a deluge of applications right after the new year.

    I'm with you! Well sort of. I'm just filling out the "basic" info that LSAC auto-fills for you - so technically...I'm just double-checking the info and hitting "submit." Can't wait for the essay portion :D (sarcasm clearly intended).

    So on a serious note, how many of these scholarships could we feasibly apply to without looking shady? I mean yeah I want to be a legal scholar and I also want to work in public interest, but idk if applying to both those programs would be overkill? What do you guys think?

    At this point I've already self selected the ones I'll apply to. I mean who am I kidding I'm definitely never going to want to work in cyber security lol. But some seem a little more feasible than others.

    Well the one thing good about the NYU essays, they pretty much set us up for every other school out there. I just got my final revisions and edits finished today, but I literally wrote 12 different version of that PI essay. NYU is a reach, but fingers crossed!

    @stepharizona yeah after doing them I'm glad I have them. Just doing final edits as we speak!!
