Thank you for your response, this comment made my day! I’m trying so hard to hold out hope, but balancing that with being realistic! I feel like the potential issue is I took the Feb LSAT (my first attempt) and applied one day before the deadline (on Feb 29). I’ve seen some WL’s go out to people who applied the week of the deadline, so I assumed they would have made it through to the end by now. Am I mistaken in assuming that?? I’d like to hold out hope because I feel like my application overall was good - lots of softs, unique PS, LOR from prof I was a research assistant for on his published paper, three years of work experience in the legal field, certified paralegal with LSO, etc …… I don’t know if I’m trying to convince them or myself anymore lol either way, thank you for this ray of hope -

Accepted 04/12, LSAT 161, GPA 3.4, will be declining. -

This has been my plan, largely foregrounding the personal narrative with that which I have overcome and the growth that these experiences have led to, then getting into why I want to go to law school. The why is largely built upon finding legal extracurriculars, such as moot, in my first year, which sparked an interest in constitutional law and litigation. The main concern was how addressing the issues from this year could in any way compromise the claim that I've overcome past struggles, but this is all very reassuring. Thank you everyone! -

As above, you are well on your way. Write a strong LSAT and you're home free. Longer term, keep in mind that, while law school is not particularly stressful for those with legal aptitude, the practice of law can be a high-stress profession. -

Agreed, I think this is a situation where you just don't mention the withdrawals. If you want to talk about your struggles or challenges as a seperate thing, sort of a "look what I did despite this" or if you wanted to talk about how it might influence your choice to do law/go to a certian school, then I think that's fine (if actually relevant). But I don't think you need to explain away those withdrawals, there shouldn't be any doubts as to your academic abilities or ability to succeed in law school. -

You have an excellent cGPA regardless of your mental health issues. I'm open to correction from others here but I don't think the withdrawals should be an issue with your law school applications. There's nothing to address or explain, and it would look weird to devote an excessive amount of words to attempting to justify why you received a 3.8 instead of a 4.0. Just focus on getting a great LSAT score and if you do you will have nothing to worry about or expand upon.
