Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)

Apply for the LSAT fee waiver to try to mitigate the cost of materials! 7Sage is $1 for a year if you have the fee waiver. I also think you should try to work in an immigration firm in some way to see if it’s something you really want to pursue and to add to your resume. Good luck!!! One tip I would also give is to not sign up for the LSAT until you’re practice tests average are around the score you’re aiming for
