I made it into my "REACH" Forum

[citykitty]

Ohh, citykitty, cute cat! I have one who looks just like it; his name is Midnight. Sorry this is totally unrelated to the topic...

Not my cat.

I used to have a gorgeous Russian blue though. He was sweet.

[stowhat]

GPA: 3.4 , LSAT 168

Got into USC off the waitlist! Sent in my application in early November.

I think my work experience and science degree gave me that little extra push.

GPA: 3.7 , LSAT 167
URM: N

Cornell

Optional Essay: LGBT DS / no "why Cornell" except for the question on app that asks / "why Cornell" included in LOCI after being held

What helped: HYP undergrad? 4 years WE (2 being public interest related)? 3 solid LOR?

Submitted late November, held late April, LOCI in May, accepted early June

Chose BU due to scholarship

It's funny how today 3.7/167 is median at Cornell and it would probably not be considered a reach anymore.

[rnoodles]

bump.... why not

Reaching out almost 5 years? Impressive

[mvp99]

nm.. thought this was recent..

[mynameismyname]

I considered making a new thread but I don't personally have an applicable reach yet. I am more interested in seeing other people in the current cycle who have gotten into a "reach school".

[janderson821]

I got into Georgetown this cycle with 3.1 and 168 non-URM

[jumbo2016]

Georgetown and Michigan. Non-URM K-JD. 169 LSAT and 3.07 GPA

[keezmasterflex]

What would you say made the difference, to those who recently posted?

[Specter1389]

I got into UVA with a 2.98 LSAC GPA, 3.03 from my school, and a 170.

I think my work experience, family background, and notoriously difficult undergrad is what put me over.

I'm guessing USAFA? Congrats, and also glad to hear it for myself since I have a 3.0 from West Point.

I have no idea what made the difference. I do have some solid work experience and decent personal statement tailored to government work. I also interviewed and I assume that helped.

[lawandorder2019]

GPA: 3.47 , LSAT 167
URM: Yes.

NAME OF REACH SCHOOL(S): UVA, Georgetown, and UCLA

Optional Essay: No. However I wrote a GPA addendum explaining my poor performance my first year.

I sent my applications in September.

Why? I spent about 4 or 5 months making my PS great, my softs are good (volunteer experience and work experience in the legal field despite being a KJD), and I have had a genuine interest in law since childhood which was reflected in my PS, resume, and course choices.

[DLM17]

GPA: 3.2 LSAT 163
URM: yes

NAME OF REACH SCHOOL: George Washington and WUSTL

Optional Essay: Nope

Finally, what you think (totally subjective) got you into that school: 2 years of work experience in insurance and 3 decent letters of rec ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Note: Holding out on some others and dying of anxiety.

Congrats!! WUSTL is the one I'm waiting on most

[redsxfan2010]

GPA: 3.4 , LSAT 172
URM: No

NAME OF REACH SCHOOL(S): Columbia

Optional Essay: Nope

Why?: I am guessing it was my background of engineering undergrad, with also taking a bunch of law and business classes. Strange combo for someone. Also two years WE in emerging tech. Also, maybe they just felt bad for me? I don't honestly know.

[tezzeret]

So anyone else get into their reach schools within the last month or so? I've been on the ding train with every reach so far, with not even a single WL from any of them.

[James.K.Polk]

3.10/171, in at Penn which was my reach.
