Uhh so this really cute guy works in my office and he's talking about law schools to this dude. Obviously I'm being nosy.

Am I missing something? This guy said he guessed on "around 5" questions on one section and "probably got a C on it." He also said that "YLS is one of those weird schools where you can get in with a 160 as long as you have a good resume."

He closed with "I wanna definitely go to Harvard though."

Sigh...what could have been, cute coworker.

Yeah, the tinder guy that asked for my LSAT score was confused as to why I retook. The friend he's getting his info from must be looking at TTT's.

ETA-Thank god for TLS

You hear that, GTTTown? You will never be good enough to marry Rigo.

Wait. I'm really good at this! Have you ever been a prostitute or drug mule?

Or taken a cool trip? Or volunteered for something? Extracurriculars? But the above options would obviously make for a cooler story.

Don't stress too much. 99% of personal statements are boring af and it doesn't hold applicants back.
If you can turn a lesson learned during football and apply it to your life and show growth, then that could work.
Also, with campus ministry, talk about lessons learned with that and how you've grown into a compassionate person through that and how it's motivated you to pursue public interest law.

Your stats have you out at HYS+B so there's really a lot less pressure on your PS. Don't stress too much; just get something on paper as a rough draft.

This is what I've been telling myself so it's nice hearing someone else say it. I have a fairly generic PS crafted right now... but I feel like it is probably good enough given that I'm out at HYSB. I hope I'm right...

I see your edits. What use is a beard if not to inflate one's narcissistic tendencies?

thanks for putting it all into perspective friends.

ITFR, i know i probably should have something of interest from my internship but to be honest, i didnt glean much from it.

i might go with how i was raised by my grandmother and how it created the beautiful bunny i am today

Mine is childhood based. I can send it to you if you want. But I think you got this.

I mean, I've already chosen you--my YLS prince--so this was just a hypothetical.

I knew GT's adamance about having me go out on a date with him was all a Rouse. I was going to wear my nice perfume for you too, GT.

Guess I'll be coasting on dat #singlelyfe.
