If you are: - A splitter - Below both LSAT and GPA medians - Interested in the t-14 - Interested in beyond the t-14 - Need to get off hold/waitlist - Struggling with your essays Listen up! GPA and LSAT are king - nothing else matters. This is the traditional "Reddit" wisdom that haunts every budding law school applicant. But that doesn't have to be true. You don't have to be a Rhodes or Truman Scholar, D1 athlete, or PhD. You can write your way in. I sure did. And a year later, my writing skills earned me a spot on the North Carolina Law Review, the flagship academic legal journal of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law. I beat the odds time and time again. Ever since, I've been able to help other law school applicants with borderline stats (within reason) gain acceptance into their dream law schools. Some of my clients have been admitted to schools like Columbia, UVA, Harvard (including off the waitlist), NYU, Michigan, Georgetown, Duke, and UNC-Chapel Hill. I am no stranger to admissions advising. I have been a college admissions consultant for over eight years and I have been a Senior Admissions Consultant for U.S. News CollegeAdvisor since 2021. In that world, I have also helped borderline students secure admission to Ivy League schools, T-20 schools, and Public Ivies. I have seamlessly translated what I know about undergraduate admissions to the law school admissions. You don't always have to give up on your dream law school. Even with your stats, there can be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
