Yesterday, I sent in the last two of my fifteen law school apps. I decided to apply really early in the process, since this is such a competitive year to be applying. Most apps haven’t even been online for more than a few weeks. It’s nice to have everything in, but it also means the agonizing wait will be that much longer. I’m applying non-binding early action to two schools, so I may hear from them by December. For the rest, I don’t expect to hear until at least January.
The application process was surprisingly simple. The hardest work was the personal statement. After several false starts on other subjects, I decided to write about Tropophilia and how it led me from D.C. to California. Otherwise, it was really just a matter of polishing my résumé, managing the letter of recommendation process, and completing the fairly simple application forms. Because everything is managed through the LSAC website, it made it super easy to crank everything out.
I’m a little nervous because of my LSAT score, but I think that my transcript, résumé, letters, and work history make me pretty competitive. We’ll see what happens!
