I've mostly been a lurker, but I got good news yesterday and wanted to share. I had planned to apply in October but then a bunch of unexpected stuff came up in my life and I wasn't able to apply until the second week of January. I've been panicking that that was too late because I'm a splitter and relatively debt averse and because I'm still not even complete at a bunch of schools, but yesterday I got into Emory with 150k so now I at least know I'm going somewhere. This thread has been immensely helpful so thank you all.

I got an email from HLS and I’m sure it’s just spam they give to students who’ll never get in, so I wonder if I should even apply.

If you have a fee waiver and can afford the $35 CAS fee then go for it. You can't get in if you don't applysaffles wrote:I got an email from HLS and I’m sure it’s just spam they give to students who’ll never get in, so I wonder if I should even apply.

Re: URM 2017-2018 Cycle Thread
Hi guys!
I just read the entire thread, I've submitted my application to Michigan, still waiting on my Feb LSAT score so I'm going submit two optional essays meanwhile.
I'm a hispanic female, immigrant parents, raised by a single mother, graduated from hs at 16 and started college at the same age. Graduated with a 3.62 with honors (double major policial science and philosophy, minor in legal studies), and honors thesis. Took a gap year to work at a firm.
I took the LSAT in Dec and got a 156. I was scoring in the high 160s but got freaked out the night before. Hoping I scored higher this time around, but not sure. After my dec score I received unsolicited waivers from UPenn, Michigan, UVA, Vanderbilt, BU, Boston College, William & Mary. Applying to all of those, but also applying to Notre Dame, GW, Fordham, and my dream school, Georgetown.
Do you guys think I have decent chance of getting into any of those??? Honestly, super worried with it being this late in the cycle, but I feel like I have good softs.
Also, I have 0 idea how to send PM through this if I can send my statements to any of you please help me I need opinions on my statement/optional essays! lol
