Update:
I took the LSAT yesterday. It's tough to gauge how I did, but I think it went reasonably well. I'm fairly certain I put up a pretty nice score, though I suspect I may have scored a few points below my typical practice tests. I will receive my score on the 5th.
In the meantime, I've gotten letters of recommendation from all but one of the people I asked (and I'm pretty confident he'll come through as well, he's just a major procrastinator), so all that's left for me to do (besides possibly retaking the LSAT if I'm not happy with my score) is:
a) Take the writing portion of the LSAT (it's kind of a weird setup where the writing section is separate and not scored, but still technically considered part of the test and still a requirement to apply). I'll be doing this in the next week, in all likelihood. From what I've read, it sounds like it uses RPNow or something similar.
b) Write my application essays. That will consist of a personal statement (which can be recycled with only minor changes for each school), a total of 2-3 school-specific essays (most schools don't have any, but a few do), and probably a few short "why such and such a school" essays (I'm told most schools don't care, but a few do)
