I'm applying this cycle as well. Have a super super rough draft of PS but I think it sucks, so I've got to figure that out too.

Otherwise, my apps are pretty much ready. Need to do few 'Why Xs' but I'm thinking I'm going to quickly apply to the schools that I'm already at/above medians, and wait to see Dec LSAT score for the ones that are currently a reach.

It's looking very likely I'm sitting out the cycle since I don't feel so hot about my performance Saturday. I'd rather apply September 1st with a 170+ then try and scrabble together an app and ride waitlists until I get a February score or a better June score for schollys.
The only Sept. Waiters who are def going this cycle are Xylo, Hand, & Grey. Schmelly too I think seeing as he applied. I'm guessing probably ergo too but I haven't heard from in awhile.

Colonel, movie, sfogs, GT, me, etc. aren't.

yeah im not too worried about my PS and such...ive applied to grad programs and so has my fiance, so I think i can put together a pretty strong app in a short period of time. def feel sitting out a cycle, but it would just be more convenient for me if i was able to apply this cycle.

and i tried to convince colonel to take just to see how he would do but no dice

The only schools that you really need to write why x for are schools that YP (yield protect) so mainly just Penn, Virginia, and Michigan I think.
So unless you score above a 170, I wouldn't stress about writing why x.

To go off of this... if I score above 170, but have a crap GPA (3.37) do I still need to worry about YP?

GreenTee · Post by **GreenTee** » Mon Dec 08, 2014 12:46 pm

Well the other reason to write Why X is if you're a borderline candidate, and you want to tip the scales in your favor.

If you're below one or both medians, a well crafted Why X essay would be a good addition to your application.

As for YP schools, Rigo left out Duke.
