Advice for URMs:

You have SO much more to offer than your LSAT score. Yes, retakes are hardly ever a bad idea. But please, consider the opportunity cost of retaking and/or taking a year off. In my case, retaking would've put me in significant debt, among other personal issues.
Be strategic!!
Test scores do not and should not define your potential. View my cycle as evidence of this.

Additional info & updates

Early bird gets the worm! Especially for URMs.

I will be withdrawing from schools I am no longer considering. I highly advise others to do the same so that we leave open spots for those on the waitlist!!

02/05
On reserve at Columbia!!! Never thought I would be so happy about a "waitlist"

03/25
Schollys for all 3 years are up. No stipulations. Almost all are initial offers with the exception of negotiations with UCLA and UC Berkeley. Feel free to message me for more info/strategy.

03/28
Received official Berkeley financial aid info. I am all but officially decided on the school! Riding the Stanford wave if Berkeley lets me.

04/04
Officially decided on Berkeley!! Still going to ride out Columbia and Stanford.

05/13
End of my cycle! After careful consideration, I withdrew from Columbia's waitlist. I'm becoming a Boaltie!
