Choosing Where to Apply to Law School - An Admissions Officer's Guide
Research, Introspection, and Everything Else You Should Think About

My advice is that you apply to no more than nine law schools and use the following formula (feel free to modify, if needed, but make sure to keep at least one school in each category): You should apply to 3 “Safety Schools” – that is schools where based on your numeric profile and their numbers, you are likely to be admitted; 3 “Target Schools” – that is schools where based on your numeric profile and their numbers, you have a greater than 50% chance of being admitted.

I work 60 hour weeks as well, double majored, did some other t1/t2 things i wont publicly disclosed and still pulled a 4.0/180 ;)

Potato and Himmy are both idiots and probably underachieved so they have fake stats that they use lol
AmbivalentPotato
19:49
Whatever you think is adversity. Trust me. Theres people out there with better stats and more advertising overcome
HimmyNeutron
19:49
I didn't even say anything but I hope that makes u feel better lmfao
HimmyNeutron
19:50
plz keep listening to spivey 17lo
AmbivalentPotato
19:50
Im not gonna lie. A lot of people criticize himmy and potato for speaking the truth. There is always someone out there that can replace you
AmbivalentPotato

Whether you can accept reality or continue to live in la la land is up to you
HimmyNeutron
19:51
is boar advertising tutoring with a 172 lol
SunflowerLover
19:51
you’d think for all that bragging about your work ethic you’d have something better to do with your time than attacking people’s lsat scores @potato lol
PermissibleParchedTiger2

tbh that is pretty good advice, you never know who else is out there in the applicant pool
HimmyNeutron

that should be a ban lmfao

Nah potato has an alt, bro spoke in the third person, so pathetic lmaoo.
wavy
19:52
@onetimesignin it really doesnt matter, people score 170s off the rip with no studying. They are just built different, you gotta accept that there's level to this. Thats why I'm not applying anywhere near the T8 i know not cut out for that. With a 154 UT is gonna shred you.
HimmyNeutron
19:55
I don't like that mentality. u can always do better but yeah with a 154 and no proven academic merit he will have a tough time
AmbivalentPotato
19:56
Thank you wavy. Maybe he will listen from someone else. But yeah totally agree w your point
AmbivalentPotato

Or he can learn the hard way in a few weeks

Himmy didn't you say applying after October 20th makes no sense and those people should sit out the cycle like yesterday?
wavy
19:58
Himmy I'm not saying you cant out work someone smarter than you but theres only so much you can do
HimmyNeutron
19:59
@WhisperingWillingBoar: no
LoudFriendlyBird
19:59
i mean you can always retake for a higher score then apply the following cycle
LoudFriendlyBird
20:00
i dont trying for a higher score automatically means that it being late after oct 20th is contradictory
ErraticAcousticCrow

Hey Potato I figured you knew this (since you have 180/4.0) but when you refer to yourself you can use the words “I” or “me”, unless you meant to send that other message from your alt
AmbivalentPotato
20:01
Potato thinks youre dumb
onetimesignin

Potato has an alt and he's using it to hype himself up LITERALLY SO EMBARESSING
