LSAT 153 GPA 3.90 2025–26 cycle
Dont believe anyone who says the lsat can be studied for enough. It matters more than anything else, especially if the say they use a holistic approach to admissions.

LSAT 170 Int'l GPA Above Average 2020–21 cycle
Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles
American citizen that graduated from a UK Russell Group university with a 2:1. T3 - AmeriCorps, single-parent household, lots of volunteer and nonprofit work If I could turn back time I would’ve taken the LSAT again for a higher score and applied much earlier.
I wrote almost every optional statement, a diversity statement detailing how my background has shaped my experience /will influence my future legal perspective, and used GPA+LSAT addenda to balance my app as a splitter and explain a 16 point increase on the LSAT.
LSAT 169 GPA 3.99 2023–24 cycle
Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles
always have faith in yourself!!! you can get into a T14 without a 170. write some killer essays and get your apps in as early as you can but also when you feel confident in them (it’s okay to not have them in as soon as apps open - you are not late and not behind).
Applied to every school under the sun because I was hunting that sweet $$$$. Take advantage of fee waivers. No special softs, but strong public service resume, solid recommendations, and creative essay topic. Proud to have two T14 A’s in the cycle from hell.
You are amazing and I hope for nothing but great things in your future ❤️💨🦭 If your wondering why ND, I absolutely loved my visit, I loved the idea of doing the London Law Program, and it was the cheapest of the schools I was truly considering (UCLA, Vandy, NDLS).
Start working on your personal statement early.
Don’t be desperate and shoot for the stars. ABA reports are bible. Some schools are just not a good fit, and unexpected wins will come! Use the loophole to study for the lsat.
“And, like bright metal on a sullen ground, My reformation, glittering o’er my fault, Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes Than that which hath no foil to set it off. I’ll so offend to make offence a skill, Redeeming time when men think least I will.”
outstanding stats: valedictorian graduated in 2 cycle updates: accepted into my top choice school on 3/6/2024 so glad to be done might post on r/lawschool reddit saying sayonara mfers Praise God - work hard - shoot your mfing shot and do not listen to reddit!!!!
Apply as early in the cycle as you feel comfortable. Don’t let the process get to you. There is always R&R, you can always improve. If you know what you want to do after law school, take the time to see how your school options align with that. Believe in yourself.
R&R applicant. Applied in the 2023-2024 cycle as a KJD with 165 LSAT and struck out of T-14 with some acceptances in T-30. Hope that my outcomes this year can convince others that gaining some relevant work experience and boosting your LSAT score is 100% worth it.
Sometimes life don’t be like it be, but it do.
Applying relatively early doesn’t mean you will hear back early. Don’t stress out about it though. Go touch some grass and get more vitamin D instead of doomscrolling
While it is possible to get into schools with scholarships applying late in the cycle, it will limit your options and provide a lot of waitlists at schools you’d likely be admitted to when applying in the fall. The LSAT is a huge factor and can drag a low GPA up.
