I applied for law school 2 cycles ago. Got in. Said screw spring semester, doesn't really matter what happens.

Ended up withdrawing, and 3 years later I'm back in the game. Just sent final transcripts to LSAC: GPA not looking as hot this time around.

TL;DR - try hard until the very end

Let's talk about your cycle instead. Why are you applying to HYS but not CCN or B or NU? Just curious.

which is why I was putting it out there for people to read so they can be careful and not make the same mistake that I did.

nosy people

I checked out all those schools in my first round 3 years ago and didn't like the feel plus this and that about them. If I spend 3 years of my life and $250,000, it better be a place that I really feel comfortable with.

supposing i had a 3.9x and then last semester dropped me to a 3.8x, that be awfully silly to "bragplain" about.

Ignore these fools. People post about their farts on this website and your post isn't bragging.

Even supposing your motivation in posting this was 100% not bragging related, I still don't see the point. Your original post literally was three lines. Three-quarters of the first two was your personal history. The last was a TL;DR summary. Where's the substance? Unless you really did make a thread just to tell TLS-ers to make sure that they "try hard" and that they don't "[say to themselves] screw spring semester."

Agreed. I, for one, appreciate the advice. Just bc its simple advice doesn't mean its not important/worth reading.

Don't get all the hate. OP thanks for the input, I could see how it must have been easy to let senoritus take over when you already have the acceptance.
