Cycle Mostly Complete. Feeling Pleased.

As the title states I'm just about done with my application cycle. Will be attending the University of Arizona unless I get off Cardozo's waitlist which I very much doubt this late. But given the competitiveness of this cycle and my lower GPA I feel pleased with my results. I wasn't expecting to get into U of A so late, and even the waitlist from Cardozo was a pleasant surprise. If I were going to do it all again I would have applied earlier. I lost a few months on my apps waiting for a letter of recommendation that never came. For those applying next year, apply early and apply broadly. And thanks to all of y'all that I talked to and asked for advice from.

I’m deciding between UofA (scholarship tbd) and AU (40k a year). CS major, 165 lsat 3.1 gpa. Arizona definitely has the better rank and cheaper tuition but AU being in DC makes it appealing for me since I want to go into patent law (probably prosecution since litigation will be harder to break into but not closing any doors now). But i’ve also heard from basically everyone living there how saturated DC is with lawyers, most of them coming from better schools than American. Their unemployment rate is also concerning. Arizona seems like the higher floor but I think American could have the bigger upside with my patent bar eligible degree. And as for where I would want to live i’m honestly fine with either, and wouldn’t mind practicing in either Arizona or DC/surrounding area.

I also got the deans merit scholarship from America, 40k which is a lot.
