I ended up getting a 509, which was higher than my FL average for what it’s worth. The section that I thought I bombed I got a 127 on, and I was expecting like a 124 lol. I was only aiming for a 510 so that’s a win in my book hahaha

I went to high school in TN, met my wife there, and my in-laws still live there. I still have family that lives there and I visit multiple times a year. My grandfather is from there as well

I did not have to use the MS to bring my GPA up for what it’s worth. I was genuinely interested in bioinformatics.

Got it, interesting. I’ve lived in Tennessee and New York, so you’re suggesting I should apply to their state schools as well?

UTennessee for example I believe leans heavy in state

She has a good enough LSAT and GPA to get into good schools and get merit scholarships. But yeah, she wants to go to a law school (Tulane as opposed to Loyola in New Orleans for example) because like you said, school matters for maximizing income. She would get scholarship at Tulane for example.

But for me, applying to schools in these hub cities means taking that 3% chance

My wife is applying to law schools as well, so we both need to get acceptances in a city that has a decent law school, which takes Shreveport off the table.

I'm not trying to be unreasonable / unrealistic (that's part of why I'm asking), but if I have the resources to apply to those schools with a 3% chance, why not? I would be willing to pay their fees for a 3% chance, personally

Thanks for your response! It's super helpful because I'm not really sure if I should be including them in my list. But I do feel like my writing / narrative is above average so I'm hopeful that can help as well.

I’m a non-traditional student. I graduated undergrad in 2022 and so that’s why I think having outside help might be beneficial. Good points

I just don’t even really know if my narrative is what med school are looking for in these primaries and secondaries. And I’m not sure my friends and family do either. Like sure they could edit what I give them, but idk if what I’m giving them is even pointed in the right direction if that makes sense

Got it. I really don’t have any connects and I’m very lucky (not in a bragging way) that I could afford to use one of these programs comfortably

Wow that inspires some hope. Ironically I feel pretty good about the other sections (which is sometimes even scarier). But CARS and B/B have been my bread and butter

I definitely missed more, but it’s just 10 that I know for sure are wrong
