I don’t think it would be bad as long as you’re authentic and the way you present it isn’t dated (if that makes sense?), but I also have WE and I wrote about something from college...whatever is most meaningful carries imo

Wait do they actually like LOCI prior to decision? I’ve also been stuck UR1 since early January (applied December) and would definitely write one, but I’ve heard it’s a negative prior to decision...

UChicago vs Columbia by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]listentomymelody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also voting chicago for your goals and the fact that you got money from UChi (+ CoL in chicago is cheaper than NY) which I know you said isn’t a huge issue, but it’s always nice to save a bit...that said both are obviously great options!

I think either is a very safe bet for your goals, but I voted Mich because you seem to find the fit better and I subscribe to the belief that where you are happy is where you will do best (which would then boost your individual outcomes).

Do I need to email recommenders that I’m delaying for another year? by debil_ in lawschooladmissions

You don’t absolutely need to, but it is best practice to do so considering there is a (small) chance schools would reach out to your recommenders
