Info

Oddly specific questions you might be asking when borrowing for law school.

When I say specific, I mean pretty specific, explore at your own risk of wasting some time.

Windsor MIT '22, Harvard College Advisor

I am the half of LSD that didn't take the LSAT, or go to law school (Sorry about that). But I did go to MIT business school while surrounded by law students and lawyers, so I am somewhat qualified to talk about the intricacies of law school apps and finances.

Windsor (the dog) didn't write this but he WAS a Resident Tutor and career advisor at Harvard College with me, so deserves some credit.

Maybe GULC wouldn't have to spend so much admin time if they weren't trying to maintain fiftyleven different waitlists.

if they have a waitlist of 4000+ applicants they probably receive a lot of withdrawals and i wouldnt be surprised if they send any confirmations in batches

you might have to start deprioritizing things that aren’t absolutely critical because it sounds like you’re spread too thin
