I started this blog as an outlet for all the anxiety and frustration that accompanies the law school admissions process. After studying my butt off for the LSAT, I have finally applied to all my schools of choice and I am now left to wait and wait and wait….
By the way, I am a college senior and am slowly plodding through my last semester of college at a good-quality (though nondescript) university. I have a good LSAT score, but nothing that will have Harvard scratching at my door. I have some nice community service experience, but otherwise I am just a regular Jane Doe trying to make into a good law school.
As you read about my struggle to stay sane during this crazy ordeal, I hope you’ll have a few laughs or at least shake your head and wonder, “Why the heck would anyone do this to themselves?”
Hi Lawgirl,
I was just googling LSAT scores and school possibilities and I came across your blog. Just want to say Thank you for sharing your experience. You have left some good pointers for other people drowning in anxiety.
I have just taken the Dec 07 lsat myself and got my depressing but not surprising LSAT score. I will still apply despite how little glimpse of hope I feel. On top of that I had to deal with a break up of a 2 year relationship 7 weeks before the LSAT. It has been a brutal and stress filled past few months.. Now the application process begins for me.
Best of luck to you in your law school endeavor. You sound like you have it all planned and worked out! =)
Thank you so much! You’re a doll for saying all these nice things. Often, we bloggers wonder whether or not our words are really helping anybody out there. It’s so wonderful to hear that my little blog could have helped relieve a little stress or given someone a chuckle.
Sorry to hear about how stressful the LSATs and everything have been. It’s a tough time for everybody, that’s for sure, but going through break-up hell does NOT help!
Good luck in the application process! If you’ve learned anything from my crazy rantings, it’s that things really do work out fine in the end, despite the hair-pulling and anxiety in between
Hiya there,
So did you decided yet which law school you will go to? I’m guessing you’re in the mid west. I’m from visiting your blog from Cali =) I just wrapped up my personal statement today and an explanatory essay on the side. I get all emotional writing the essays. haha
