i plugged those numbers into LSData and about 4 out of 43 applicants with those stats reported being accepted. however this data is all self-reported and not exhaustive of the entire applicant pool. it looks like most LSData users with those stats reported being waitlisted, and people who are admitted from a waitlist often don't report it
you should really try to get your lsat score up if you’ve got a 3.95 gpa. you spent 4 years doing very well in school you should get an lsat to match that
@HangingAboriginalLeopard: you know your goals and how much effort you’ve put into getting your already excellent score but I’m with wasp if you don’t feel like you’ve reached your full potential then take the challenge head on! Grab the devil by the horns! Stamp that man into the ground!!
for those of you wondering if admissions offices are working today i got an email from an adcomm today responding to something i sent earlier in the week
Hi everybody, I am applying to schools this August. I could use some brief help with optics for my personal statement, as I am a first-gen student in every regard--even at the high school graduate level.
Hey Everyone, I am also applying this cycle and have a question about my personal statement. I want to become a lawyer because of a personal trauma I experienced in the past. Is this too sensitive of a topic to mention in a PS? I won't go into detail and only mention it as it relates to my inspiration to be a lawyer.
Yo! LSD has an AI consultant named Molly to help detect for red flags and trauma dumping in personal statements. You can try it at no charge by signing up for a free trial of LSD+. Think it gives you like two weeks for free or something though so be mindful of how advanced you are in PS drafts. Might want to time it so you have access when it’s most important.
@darthaifos33: this is just my opinion but I think it’s important to try and keep things positive if you can because it will reflect well on you if you can. I’ve been fortunate to read a lot of PSs as an lsat tutor and I’ve gotta say there is a lot of darkness in the world. It’s cliche but that’s the perfect time for your heart to shine through! Also, always keep in mind you’re applying to a professional school so there has to be that relevance I think.
Even though it’s impossible try to imagine a bunch of candidates who have had it way harder than what you’re saying but are also big about it. That’s why I think it looks better to be positive if you can about trauma even though it can be hard af.
Of course! I plan to positvely weave it through my narrative and relevant professional experience in a way that isn't too dark or anything like that. I just wasn't sure if it was a big taboo or anything like that
