Anna Ivey gives you ruthlessly practical admissions advice
Schools keep very deep waitlists. The odds of getting an offer from one of them are slim. Do prepare mentally to attend the school where you have already put down your deposit, or make other plans altogether. (You do not have to go to law school.) But don't let law schools string you along and mess with your head all summer like a bad ex. Manage your expectations.
The recommendations part of CAS is, in my experience, the logistical part of the whole application process that trips up the most people, so I’ll focus on the process of submitting recommendations in this post. The logistical stuff is really boring and a bit tedious by definition, but it’s very important, because if you don’t follow the logistical instructions precisely, your applications will get held up.
The holidays can be a mixed bag for law school applicants. Those who already have acceptances in their pockets are able to kick back and enjoy the seasonal respite. But if you are still waiting to hear back, you are probably sitting around dinner tables fending off questions from everyone and their brother about your law school results.
