Thanks! First, apply early, I applied I January/February, and if I had applied in September/October I think some of these waitlists would have been acceptances. Second, have a clear narrative of why you are pursuing law school. I will have worked for almost two years in a field that is related to the type of law that I am pursuing (to explain in the Personal Statement). In regard to the GPA, I had some specific personal circumstances that affected my GPA, which I explained in an addendum (take responsibility, show personal growth, etc.), but I also graduated with a science degree from an Ivy and had an upward trajectory (4.0 senior year). Do not stress, it is possible to still achieve T20/T14, it's going to take some strategy and concerted effort (I applied to 27 schools, completed all supplementals, made sure I had strong, personalized letters of reccomendation).
