Was contacted by dean and told to write and ask for reconsideration with supplemental information

Which school contacted you and told you to apply for reconsideration? I have never heard of that. They could not make a decision based on your current stats? What type of supplemental information do they want from you?

Toledo.... there were a lot of things they liked and a few I couldn't change ..... they understood I have Ptsd but recommended I retake the lsat since it was my first time. They said there was nothing I could do about my undergraduate gpa but they liked I went to grad school and got a 4.0 . They understood I am 32 and my gap for undergraduate may not represent me from 10 years ago....

My personal essay was good I wrote about growing up in the foster care system and being homeless... I wrote about how less than 2 percent go to college and finish and only half finish high school and I was a minority... I also wrote how during college I worked full-time went to school full-time was in the military part time a single mom with no help taking my kid to classes to get by and how there were times I had to make difficult choices but have overcome so much

They asked me to retake last .... consider a logic class with a grade and recommendation... submit more letters of recommendation and anything else I think wood help they asked me to write more in an email about perseverance.... when I got rejected I had a written note to call the dean... if I wanted to discuss things and this was what he said ... he said if you get into another law school that could change our minds for this year but the other things might open things up for the following year
