T14 With Below-Median Stats? What to Write and What to Skip

Aviaé Gibson got into UVA Law with a 3.4 GPA and a 150 LSAT, numbers most applicants assume rule out a T14 school. In this workshop she breaks down how she built an application that led with judgment instead of apologizing for her stats, and the moves she now uses with her own law school clients to do the same. We'll cover which parts of a personal statement should name a dip directly versus route around it, how to pick recommenders who speak to growth rather than raw numbers, and where a resume or addendum can carry weight a transcript can't. This is a working session, not a general overview, so bring your actual GPA and LSAT and expect specific feedback on your file, not admissions theory.
