They only have like 22% going to BigLaw vs. ~50% at T14...still don't know what I'm gonna do...may be worth it to sit out, retake and try for T14 next year...really not sure what to do...

In a similar situation. Sucks, but it's the nature of lawl skool admissions

I reused LORs from professors from several years prior that I had already submitted during a previous cycle. I also have two new ones from work/volunteer positions. Definitely include new info, but the past LORs will probably be fine.

Yup. I used LOR's from 3 cycles ago for this year and sent them to a school I previously applied to (waitlisted -> accepted last time, accepted this time).

Ah, that is understandable. Sitting a cycle sucks but it's probably the prudent move if you are set on biglaw. Try to get NU ED maybe? But yeah I vote yes to using to same LOR's again with the exception of maybe one new one.

Still undecided whether I'll accept WashU's offer this cycle, really stuck in terms of what to do. Not set on BigLaw, but law school doesn't make a whole ton of sense for me if I can't get something $100k/year after it.

Wash U has mildly improved in Big Law + clerk numbers, to a bit above 30%

Not saying that is a great figure, but better than 22%.

Good luck with your tough decision!
