Is it best to apply on the first day the application opens?
I already have my entire application prepared. LSAT, transcripts, LORs, resume, etc.
Is it best for me to apply immediately once the applications open? I am worried that it might make me seem super nerdy/overeager and be off-putting to the admissions offices if I apply on the first day. Should I wait a few days/weeks before submitting?

Applying day 1 is the best thing you could do. You will be among the first applications that the adcoms read. You'll get a response quicker as well.

Yes, since law schools use rolling admissions, the earlier the better. You're not going to be pegged for being "overeager," law schools want people who are enthusiastic about attending.asdfg1234 wrote:I already have my entire application prepared. LSAT, transcripts, LORs, resume, etc.
