About & Wisdom

Background

Undergrad
University of California-Los Angeles '25
Major
Political Science · Transferred from another UC
Work Experience
No jobs of any kind before starting law school. Anecdotally, admissions distinguished between KJDs and all off-school applicants, regardless of WE.

Application Profile

Softs
Traveling board member for Filipino American org during gap year, cultural dancing and event volunteering in undergrad
LSAT Prep
7Sage · 20 weeks · 10 hrs/week · 200 total hours
Initially used PowerScore books, but 7Sage Core Curriculum is sufficient. I cannot stress untimed practice and wrong answer journaling enough.

Wisdom

Don’t let the recommended experience you lack on your resume completely block you from applying (though please get that experience if it makes sense for you to; it didn’t for my circumstances).

Admissions are looking for human beings and their stories, not a list of filled checkboxes. You can demonstrate your interest and readiness for the legal profession in how you present your narrative. Make sure you communicate clearly anything that so strongly pushes you into this path (e.g. your community or even your hobbies) you see law as the most vivid vision for your future. I believe that’s what landed me into one of the most perfect schools for my goals despite applying late.
