It's six minutes of my life, tops, but some memories you don't measure in minutes or miles, but by how much of yourself is still in that moment.

toaoe's wisdom

The LSAT provided the single biggest social mobility pathway of my life. Law school admissions are uniquely positioned right now (compared to other graduate school admissions and especially undergraduate) because of the importance of your LSAT score to where you can transform your life with just a few months of hard studying.

For anyone applying, I truly believe your story carries so much weight. It’s easy to feel like admissions reduce you to three numbers: GPA, LSAT, years of work experience. When admissions officers look at your application, it’s your story and essays that bridge that gap and turn you from a series of numbers into a whole person. Don’t let yours be silenced.
