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

@madollyy: use LSAT Demon!

Watch their youtube channel too

Would an internship through CHCI help my application as well?

Dkk

20:29

@madollyy: It would help as a soft but the big focus should be GPA while you can and LSAT right now. I would say GPA is 40% of the app, LSAt 50% and everything else 10%.

snow

20:31

I agree with dk ^

madollyy

20:31

Got it, thank you. I don't think there is much I can do for my GPA now since I only have 1 semester left for ug but I definitely will be studying my butt off for the LSAT.

20:32

Nice!

madollyy

@madollyy: is that your CAS GPA?

madollyy

20:33

That's what's on my transcript! I haven't done that one yet tbh. I get mostly A's, some B's. Got dragged down a bit too much from one D in my first semester though ><

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:34

do you have any A+’s? that could help your gpa!

JumpySubsequentDolphin

20:36

bc LSAC recalculates A+ to 4.3

madollyy

20:39

Noo :( Unfortunately. I'm surprised that I don't, there were definitely some classes that I remember scoring 98-100% but it doesn't show on my transcript

madollyy

Acutally
