Hi guysss, I know that everyone hates the "chance me" requests, but I'm really hoping for some glorification encouragement.

I'm 20 and am graduating with a quadruple major in Political Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computing Sciences, and Chinese from Harvard and Yale (joint program). My GPA is a 4.7 on the 4.0 scale and I'm PTing in the 193 range for my LSAT (but hoping to get 207 by August!).

I think I have decent non-academic softs??? I've interned for a few US Presidents (whichever one the admissions committee likes) and I am also the President of y university's PAD, Editor in Chief for the NYTimes, as well as a few odd jobs here and there. I'm also URM and overcame being born with glass bones and paper skin, and while rescuing puppies from a hurricane having all four of my limbs amputated (but they were reattached so like... doesn't really count I feel).

I feel like I should apply across the board, is BU a reach? Guysss I don't know!!! Please worship help me decide!

7 inches btw.

Firstly, I am NOT looking to commit any sort of crimes, fraud, or general discretion. The quora and forum posts of things that seem straight up illegal are terrible, esp for future lawyers 😭

I am curious though, myself and my spouse have saved a lot of money from working in and after school, but we don't want that all to just disappear because schools view it as accessible to pay for tuition. Ie, how do we organize our finances to LEGALLY receive the most financial aid?

I know some schools count retirement funds as half liquid and stocks as 2/3 liquid, but does anyone else have any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Hi y'all! I hope this is the right sub. I was wondering how y'all are approaching shadowing requests? I'm not sure how to find them and make that request? Would it just be cold emailing... what is your strategy? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I was hoping to shadow in June because I am going abroad for July/August and wouldn't be able to do a full summer internship! I am also hoping to start a full-time legal position in September, but of course that would be very new by the time I hope to apply (late Sept through late October latest).
