Corey:

You definitely have a great shot at better law schools – in fact, schools in that 30-50 range are safeties for you. Assuming you apply to ten law schools, five should be in the top 14, three should be in the 15-35 group, and two should be in the 36-65 group. Try to keep the same ratio if you apply to additional (or fewer) law schools. URM admissions cycles are unpredictable, hence the huge spread, but if this cycle is anything like the past few, you should be attending at top 14 law school at this time next year.

Corey:

Admittedly, I’m behind on my internet lingo, but I believe this is an appropriate time for :facepalm:. Contact every school where you applied and withdraw. You messed up. Every bar exam has a Character and Fitness requirement, where your history will be carefully reviewed for any instance of dishonesty. You lied. Your acceptances are directly related to your lie. If you were to attend, you would get caught by the bar, and this would keep you from being a lawyer. This cycle is likely over for you, but I will leave that to Jane.

Jane:

Oh my goodness. Like Corey said, withdraw every application you have out. It is late in the cycle, but there are some law schools still accepting applications. Look at schools in the 40-70 rankings range you could attend that are still accepting applications. If this does not work out, and there is a good chance that it won’t, reapply with legitimate applications next year.

Every prospective student, read this carefully: The bar will review your law school application when you apply to sit for the test. Any misstatement or lie could prevent you from taking the test. Be open and honest when you fill out your applications.
