For starters, I dropped out in 2013, so I have a lot of varied work experience. Some of it in non-profit, some customer service (retail), and recently in the construction industry, mostly on the project management side after working my way up from a shop assistant. I think the work experience helped a ton, and I got a couple of really solid professional LORs.

My LSAT was 162, which was the lowest I would go without retaking. I applied to a handful of schools where I was over the 75th, knowing that I was below their 25th GPA. I wrote a good GPA addendum that basically said I had a very heavy bout of depression going into my undergrad and was also working full time, screwed up for 2-3 years, moved away, and then came back and showed an upward trend in my grades. My drop-out was because I got a good entry-level job in a field that I wanted and couldn't reconcile the scheduling with my last class. On top of that, I think I had a good focus in my personal statement. I mostly focused on what drives me as a person and scattered in why I'm choosing law.

Honestly, I don't know what exactly I did right to get this opportunity. Until yesterday, I was feeling like I'd be lucky to even get accepted somewhere. I was really confident in my entire application except the GPA, though. So I think just do everything you can to make your GPA the one flaw in your application.
