Wish I had more softs V.V

Three pretty standard LOR's from professors from my major. Unfortunately I did not have the third letter until after I applied to about half of these schools, so only about 6 schools got all 3.

I wrote a pretty standard PS as well as a DS about overcoming disability. To be honest, I am a humble guy and pimping myself is not exactly my strong suit; so neither of these essays were examples of my best work. My hope is simply that they did no harm.

Additional info & updates

I overcame a lot of Illness, so that may help me. I was a legacy at Fordham law school (one of my top choices) but that did not seem to help. I have an associates degree already and am in my senior year at UConn (Storrs) where I have been named a 2008 New England Scholar, and graduated Magna Cum Laude . I am also an 8 time member of the Dean's List over the course of my college career. I took the September LSAT and got a 160. I Was also recently given a scholarship upon graduation at my undergrad school for "Demonstrating a strong desire to study law and work with disadvantaged groups while maintaining academic excellence."

Scholarship money is the total for 3 years.

Fordham's one of my top choices too - with your gpa you'll probably be a lock if you get a decent lsat score. Good luck!
