Except maybe if you had "outworked" everyone while studying for the LSAT, you wouldn't be paying sticker at WUSTL.

Now I just have to focus on doing well with my studies at WUSTL

Most people on TLS who graduated Summa Cum Laude retook the LSAT and went to YHS or a T14 with major money. They probably had to do half the work that you had to do to get twice as far as you with much less risk.

Lol, yup, actually though. Whenever I see a firm profile with an undergraduate summa or magna cum laude or PBK and some lower T1 or TT law school, I'm like what, retake.

TBF pre-TLS I'm sure the vast majority of law applicants had no fucking clue how much a retake is worth when you have that kind of GPA. Hell I'm sure most today still don't realize it.
