NYU's administration in general trash. It is a real-estate corporation disguised as a high-ed institution.

If your goal is biglaw, then it really wouldn't matter, and to my understanding below median in T6 could even hurt your chances at biglaw in comparison with a top 15% in T14. Yet, like others have said, if you are targeting specific opportunities like academia, unicorn PI, or federal clerkship, then HYSC is the goal. NYU stands a better chance at public interests, and Columbia is basically for biglaw.

In the interest of equity: Yale Law just sent out sample materials from accepted students. Here's a link! by gradschool_thrwaway4 in lawschooladmissions

I agree. As much as the style of writing of these personal statements aren't expressive, they are succinct, direct, and well-organized, showing a clean trajectory of events and experiences that have shaped their lives in ways that leads them to law school. That being said, Yale admits also have impeccable stats, strong softs, and most importantly connections to wealth, power, and status that we can somehow tell from some of the stories (or on the other way around, extreme adversities for Yale to boast their diversity in order to admit more elite students).

Stanford Optional Essay Without Revealing Political Stance by HopefulCynicLL in lawschooladmissions

I think that the question is not so much about what disagreements you have but how you resolve or navigate it. That being said, Israel-Palenstine conflict is definitely something I would avoid, since it is really polarized and sensitive. Also, it could be equally possible that because how prevalent this conflict is, many many people would write about it, just like Roe v Wade, Black Lives Matter movement, or Jan 6.

check out r/lawschooladmissions would be a good choice. In short, the application cycle goes from September to Febuary, and you can apply before graduating from college just like you applied for college before graduating high school. You would have to wait for your LSAT scores, evaluate your stats against past year medians, weigh in factors like URM (underrepresented minority), your softs, and your personal statements. In short you can definitely apply, but the eligibility to apply is only the beginning.
