ok, keep in mind that writing supplemental essays is a good idea for your top choices

ClerkHopeful

18:56

I wrote my why x's in a day

JackRyan

18:57

Last question is Diversity Statements. How big of a deal are they? I'm URM, but I have a big part of what diversity essays ask for in my PS. Do i need to write a separate one?

ClerkHopeful

18:57

im only 1/1 so far tho so take that with a grain of salt, not really sure the best approach to why x's tbh

ClerkHopeful

18:57

if you address it in your ps, probably not necessary unless you can say it in a new unique way. wouldn't hurt trying to come up with another way, but don't force it

ClerkHopeful

18:58

Keep in mind that the urm boost for black people is generally stronger than for hispanics, cast a wide net. but im sure you will do great, you seem very motivated

JackRyan

18:59

Yeah, I'm Hispanic. I just want to know if not doing the DS will really penalize me that much.

ClerkHopeful

18:59

I doubt it would

@JackRyan: If your person statement already covers it then leave it out

JackRyan

19:10

Thanks!

JackRyan

19:11

Would love for an opinion on my school list if anyone wants to.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:11

yeah, what are your stats and what is your school list

JackRyan

19:11

Is my profile public to see.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:11

Nvm, just saw your stats and school list, one sec

JackRyan

19:12

Dope

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:12

I think you're definitely in at your bottom 5

JackRyan

19:13

Yeah, I agree. I think besides UT, and A&M which I will likely be WL from. It gonna be interesting for the rest.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:13

I'd say R at UT, and a mix of WL and A at the rest

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:14

yeah im not sure about the URM boost this cycle. If it is present like it used to be, I see you getting in to A&M

JackRyan

19:14

I'm more of a south person, but I'm trying to see if I should add another school to my list.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:15

Just so you are aware, you are more unlikely than likely to get a job in Biglaw from any of those schools besides UT. So if your goal really is BL, you may want to retake the LSAT

JackRyan

19:15

Yeah I'm aware Probably will end up in civil lit.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:15

Is my account public?

JackRyan

19:15

Nope

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:16

And yeah, that is totally respectable, just wanted to make sure that you were aware of the BL possibilities.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:16

and darn, idk how to make mine public

JackRyan

19:16

WF has some BL prospects. But idk

JackRyan

19:17

Their ABA report showed a majority at 500+ firms I think.

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

19:17

Yeah but Duke and UNC dominate their market so the competition is fierce.

JackRyan

19:17

Yeah
