Or just change your GPA .01

I highly doubt the adcoms have the time or desire to search through a posters' post history though.

I don't like that everyone besides the guy who already got in has a better GPA than me.

I think it is funny that we all have almost identical numbers (except for you).

I just like that those numbers happen to be at Stanford's 75th percentile.

I think it is funny that I ended up at exactly the GPA and LSAT 75th...not sure what that means for me.

What are your personal statements looking like? Any advice?

I'm very much interested in others thought on this as well. I'm not sure its advisable to write a "Why Law" essay since Dean Deal has said it should be considered a personal story rather than a statement. I don't want to get too specific on here, but I'm thinking of writing an essay on how specific events in my life helped me to become the person that I am today.

I can PM you if you would like and be more specific on how I plan to carry this out.

I'm going to start my PS this week. I'd give info on what I'm writing about but it would easily out me.

I disagree. A personal story can inform one's decision to attend law school (why law). They are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

I should have been more specific with my language.

I think if your story demonstrates why law and law school are important to you then or would probably be a good statement. What I was implying was that you don't necessarily need to describe "Why Law" to make it powerful and effective. Can it include those elements? Absolutely, but emphasizing who you are is the paramount issue.

I'd definitely like to hear others take on this, however.

8 people on the google spreadsheet, all with excellent numbers. Good luck brahs.

Sourrudedude, I'm curious as to why Yale isn't your #1, given your numbers.

First and foremost is location. I want to practice in CA, I would rather live in Palo Alto than New Haven, I love the west coast, etc. Also, I might want to do something with internet/tech.

Seriously... YLS isn't the best choice for everyone. Rankings whore.
