False. Maybe a long shot, but definitely a shot.Desert Fox wrote:No shot at Boalt.
He also lies about personal statements not narrating -- if anywhere, a good PS can open doors at Boalt that numbers won't.
Good luck, OP.

Wow, wasn't expecting all the great responses. Seems like the consensus is a no for T3 but i'll throw an app in anyway next cycle and have an update.

That video was annoying but do you know if that scrawny dude was the guy benching 495? If so I have to say I'm impressed -- I'm way bigger and would probably die if I tried to do that without the spot.
@OP: It can help because you have overcome a pretty strong obstacle and most people at professional schools come from upper middle class backgrounds. Enough to get you into HYS? Probably not but you experiences color your GPA in a different light that LSP won't capture. I can honestly say that a 4.0 GPA from a recluse doesn't impress me as much as a 3.5 from someone who had significant work/sports obligations.
