Hi TLS,

Long time lurker here.

While recently looking over my submitted applications from this cycle, I noticed that I made a number of extremely careless errors in all of my applications. So, I am looking for advice regarding how to handle this complicated, potentially serious situation. If you are willing to help, please PM me.

Thanks.

I recommend you provide some specifics so someone can give you actual advice.

Disclose and mention that you've made errors. That's really all you can do.

However, if you've already been rejected or withdrawn from some schools, I don't think that you need to contact those schools out of the blue and say,

Oh hai! already rejected me, but here's my many mistakes that will confirm your decision!


Not saying that you should be rejected either. C&F is an incredibly pretentious custom in the our legal industry. I feel your pain. But we all have to be honest about our past to the bar. The school will be much more forgiving. Promise. Good luck.
