Why We're All Going to Be Okay

So, today I appear to have missed a Minnesota wave that approved people with almost exactly my stats or worse, and that stung a bit. But then I had a bit of coffee, and thought about it. And the truth is, that this stuff doesn't matter. When I get in isn't important, as long as I get in, and it only takes one school to see that I am qualified for me to be fine, whether it's a T12, a T20, or something else, I will do that and I will excel. Everyone here is immensely smart, and talented, and you had to be to get this far in the process, and we're all going to do great things. Law school is going to be hard, and every bump in the road is just another part of the journey. It's a tough cycle, but we just have to roll with the punches, because I believe that everything happens for a reason. This is an element of my faith, but setting that aside, I, and you, will get into the school that you were meant to get into, a school that appreciates you and makes you happy.

And if everything falls through, because of the cycle or something else? Then I will try again, I will work hard, and I will prove that they were wrong to not accept me in the first place. They may not trust me now but trust is something that needs to be earned sometimes, and I know that I am smart and capable enough to earn that trust. Life throws you punches, and as a lawyer, you need to figure out how to roll with them, it's part of the occupation.

You are all smart, capable people, and I believe that the people here are going to go on to do great things, whether you get into a T12, a T20, a T50, or so on. You're going to do great, and don't let the unpredictability of this cycle get you down. We will all get the success that we dream of, as long as we don't give up and strive for it.

Sending my best wishes and hopes for As to you all.
