Additional info & updates

There is hope for splitters (low undergrad GPA/high LSAT)!! I put a lot of work into writing excellent personal and diversity statements. I did my research on what schools are looking for in these writing samples, I took the advice of my LSAT tutor (from the company LSAT Wiz..I highly recommend them!!) on points to be revised and edited, and I also had a professor look them over. Feel free to ask me for tips on writing these. No doubt, the fact that my crap undergrad record was several years back and now I'm finishing a master's degree with a 3.6 GPA and that I have a lot of real-world experience in advocating for justice helped too! In my personal statement, I explained the trajectory of my advocacy for justice (journalist to activist to aspiring lawyer) and made it very clear why I plan on attending law school. I wrote in a narrative style and presented a couple of the quite exciting stories from my history as a political activist. I also tailored an ending few paragraphs for each school explaining why I wanted to attend their school (courses and clinics I was interested in, professors I wanted to study under, praised the school's reputation and successes in various regards). As for diversity, I'm not technically a URM, but I convincingly made a case for under-representation of Pakistani and Muslim Americans in the legal field and elaborated on my working class background and wide exposure to people from many walks of life. Last, but not least, I cast a wide net (applied to 46 schools). But, hey, how else can a splitter guarantee that he'll catch a good fish?

Did UC Davis send you an email asking you to apply for NeedAccess before they made their decision on your file?

I was rejected from UH via snail mail. The letter was dated 2/1 & I received it about a week after that date.

No, UC Davis did not send me the email you describe.
