Sorry! There’s an option to apply general, but with special circumstances. That’s what I applied under to explain my low first year gpa.

Accepted yesterday (7/12/22) ~8:30am ET -- got an email update that my application status had changed on uozone! Applied general + was very surprised to get an A this early in the cycle. 

LSAT: 160 (Oct 22) 

OLSAS cGPA: 3.7 (undergrad in the US) 

imho it was my ECs + work experience + LORs + PS that got me in; almost 3 years out of undergrad, postgrad work experience as a research assistant (1 year in unrelated social science field, 1 year on a legal history project w coauthored publications/conference presentations w my PI, who wrote a LOR for me) + a legal aid internship in undergrad + student gov/other social justice-y related volunteer activities consistently throughout undergrad. I also worked part-time throughout the majority of undergrad and wrote about that experience in my PS (which was centered around my interests in labor + employment law) 

Good luck to everyone still waiting and congratulations to everyone who's gotten in so far! Rooting for y'all.
