LSAT 164 GPA 3.87 2021–22 cycle

Attending Texas A&M University

…and their merit aid options (I also had a limited time to study for the LSAT—6 weeks using Khan Academy—which was not ideal). However, I’m very proud of my waitlists because applying later allows me to live in the dream that I would have been accepted if I’d applied 4-6 months earlier ;)

LSAT 178 GPA 3.64 2022–23 cycle

Attending Northwestern University

Take as long as you need to achieve your dream LSAT score. I studied on and off for three years, with lots of experiences in between before I received my score and it was totally worth it. My three major considerations were: Employment opportunities Scholarship provided Location (big city preferably) Overall, this…

LSAT 173 GPA 3.10 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.

LSAT 151 GPA 2.90 2021–22 cycle

Admitted to Vermont Law School

Study for your LSAT unlike me. And don’t look at r/lawschooladmissions because you’ll give yourself unnecessary stress and an unrealistic standard to compare yourself to. Comparison is the thief of joy. Goodluck <3

LSAT 171 GPA 3.82 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of California—Berkeley

I’m a KJD, but I’ve had several unusual internships. I’m also an engineering major in a genuinely unique program. Experiences in this program have shaped my…

LSAT 170 GPA 3.61 2021–22 cycle

Attending Boston University

…gpa is lower than a goal school’s average, set your goal LSAT score a couple points above! Regardless of your stats, make sure to have a plan B for the year if things don’t work out. If you can and are having trouble deciding, visit the schools you get into. Make sure to speak to current students when you’re there…

LSAT 168 GPA 2.49 2021–22 cycle

Attending Arizona State University

Applied to ASU ED My entire goal since I started studying for the LSAT is to go to school there. I’m a non traditional super splitter. Wish me luck/pray for me

LSAT 166 GPA 3.80 2022–23 cycle

Admitted to Northeastern University

Study for the LSAT as much as you can, even though it’s expensive. The $1,000-$2,000 cost of tutoring may save you tens of thousands of dollars in debt as a law student even at great law schools.

LSAT 155 GPA 3.80 2020–21 cycle

Attending Louisiana State University

Police Officer in Louisiana. Undergrad in Texas with a BS in Criminal Justice. Wrote any optional essays available. Studied for the LSAT for approximately one week for a few hours a day before work but really did not want to retake. Applied late because this is my first attempt at the process and I didn’t know…
