submitted most...I have one or two left that I'm sitting on to see if it is worth to even apply. Anybody else?

I'm right there with Gamerish working on my PS. Procrastination and brain block is the worst.
My plan is to get everything in by the holidays.

+1, except this is my first take

re-reading my application for errors or changes needed. Tired and just ready to submit

I honestly enjoy studying for the LSAT. I just wish life didn't have other obligations. Hoping for a positive application decision

Wish I shared your passion. If you have any favorite resources to recommend (mainly RC), feel free to send them my way.

Finishing up a few "optional" essays, including a few for PI scholarship programs.

Hoping to have everything edited and submitted in the next two weeks. Provided my rec letters come through.

Submitted about a dozen apps with a handful still to go. Gotta write a few more Why X and scholarship essays. Hoping to hear back from Duke (PT) sometime this week!

In the same boat except I'm waiting on transcripts instead of letters. I am trying to give my self a January 8th deadline for all deadlines. (Assuming my money is in order)

Have you tried SuperPrep by LSAC? They have decent examples or PowerScore Bible

I feel so behind...I delegated all of my time for the LSAT retake in December...I have letter of recs lined up but no personal statement...let alone diversity statements

Don't let that freak you out. There were a ton of applicants last year who focused on the December LSAT and crushed it. The better LSAT the better odds you have...way more important than your PS or DS. Stay focused! You got it!

Yup. As well as a few 'women in law' groups.

Have you been replying to them? I wonder if it'd be ok to ask them some questions about their admissions process?

I haven't been, mostly because I don't really have the time between work and trying to finish up apps. But if the email indicates they're willing to communicate, I don't see why not. A few of the emails I've gotten are from organizations hosting webinars, which I think might be the best method of direct communication.
