AbsentOneMoose '25–'26 app cycle

The only advice I have at this current time is your LSAT and LSAC GPA are everything…don’t let them lie to you about the “Softs” lol. I should have studied more and taken the LSAT in place of the GRE, because I noticed the process is longer with the GRE…even when you mark it in your application that you will be opting to take that in place of the LSAT, for the most part…I’ve had to reach out to each school (via email/phone) to remind them so they can remove me from their “Incomplete” list. If you don’t, your application will sit their for weeks/months as “Incomplete” while other applicants are already being accepted early.

I also noticed that without super strong stats, it makes it more difficult for those older adults with families/children who can’t move to any state to go to the school they may have received an acceptance from. My options were limited, not only because my stats were pretty low (I’m married with a child and work full-time), but also because your number of schools (that are either online, part-time or both) are very limited. If I was younger and wasn’t married and had no reasons not to leave town, I’m sure I would have a better chance at getting in somewhere around the United States; and I would just go there and try to do my best and transfer to a stronger school back home after the first year.

This is a one time try for me…if I don’t get in anywhere this cycle, so be it lol; but definitely wanted to at least try. I’ll continue to add updates for the next person. Hopefully my words will help you even a little. Good luck, all!
