Tell us what's important to you

ok, keep in mind that writing supplemental essays is a good idea for your top choices
18:56
I wrote my why x's in a day
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?
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
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
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
18:59
Yeah, I'm Hispanic. I just want to know if not doing the DS will really penalize me that much.
18:59
I doubt it would
19:07
@JackRyan: If your person statement already covers it then leave it out
19:10
Thanks!
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
19:11
Is my profile public to see.
[] WhisperingWillingBoar
19:11
Nvm, just saw your stats and school list, one sec
19:12
Dope
[] WhisperingWillingBoar
19:12
I think you're definitely in at your bottom 5
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
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
19:15
Yeah I'm aware Probably will end up in civil lit.
[] WhisperingWillingBoar
19:15
Is my account public?
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
19:16
WF has some BL prospects. But idk
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.
19:17
Yeah
