-Use your application to create a full-narrative about yourself. Please don't repeat the same information across three essays. Instead, carefully craft a cohesive theme you want to present to the admissions committee. Then, write your personal statement, diversity statement, and addenda so that they follow the theme, while telling different stories.

-I took the LSAT 4 times, over 3yrs---143, 143, 156, 160. I self-studied using test prep materials from Powerscore, Manhattan LSAT, and Blue Print. I also relied heavily on 7sage's youtube logic game explanations.

Congrats. I am an URM at a large public university, with a 3.0 gpa at a top 20 public school. with an amazing gpa addendum(death in fam, taking full financial resp). I will be applying in the fall. I was wondering if you would share your undergrad school and/or gpa?

I'm not going to post any more information until my cycle is completely over. I promise it'll be there before you apply! I intentionally kept my profile pretty broad. I will tell you that my GPA is a bit higher than what I wrote in my profile. Good luck in the fall :)

Hi, did Harvard Law invite you to apply? They've invited me this cycle, but my LSAT score is lower than yours. Thanks.

No, Harvard did not invite me to apply, and I didn't get a fee waiver. Also I applied like 20 mins after the deadline.
