You've got a great story. Leverage the written apps. You'll do great!

Man it's all in the story and diversity is a plus. Know s few people who got in with a 650. You got this. It's not all about scores in fact not at all. Anyone can crunch numbers but not every one is creative or brings value

*I know a few

You have a good profile just based on what you said. Add the story and recommendations!

I know there are so many qualified candidates and so few spots but I wish they had seen it in me.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
