Retook LSAT. Raised from 169 to 172 with Duke, Stanford, UVA, Fordham and Vandy still left to make a decision.

Admitted to Arizona State UniversityStart studying for the LSAT early and get books to study with. I highly recommend The Loophole in Logical Reasoning (Book by Ellen Cassidy) and Powerscore’s Logic Games Bible! The Ellen Cassidy book changed everything for me and had I started studying with both books way earlier, I would have certainly scored well…

makingcashwithmyhandout left no wisdom for posterity… (◕︵◕) Ran out tbh frfr take time on essays. I feel I rushed a lil and found mistakes upon reviewing. I also found out i got cheated on a week before apps opened and that SUCKED. #noregerts but i was lowkey submitting apps while manic maybe?? beware on who you let…
Super splitters rise up(｡–｡ )人( ｡–｡)
Started off college as a computer science major, realized it wasn’t for me and made less than stellar grades. Switched to International Security Studies and did very well. Unfortunately, old CS grades pulled my GPA down nonetheless. Had a couple internships in Tribal politics and a Tribal prosecution office and…
After three attempts at the LSAT, my lsat score is a 160. I tried my best, all that I can with this test and am just gonna let fate bring me the results. As long as you tried your best its all good. I went from a 129 diag to a 160 which is 31 points higher. First half of my studying (8 months) was done while in…
It’s not over until it’s over. I applied to most all of my schools in November, and by February I was either waitlisted or rejected at all my targets and reaches and I only got into safeties. I applied to ASU on a whim because I was interested despite being below both medians and late in the cycle, fully expecting…
Apply to as many places as you want and feel comfortable affording. I considered only applying to one program (knowing I would likely get in on a full ride) but applied to a few more for negotiation purposes just in case and others because why not. I’ll be attending the school I’d planned on from the start but I’m…
Definitely be involved with extracurriculars in undergrad, but don’t spread yourself too thin just to add more to your resume. Even if you don’t have experience that directly relates to law or other related areas, there’s most likely a way to somehow tie that back into why you want to go to law school. Shoot your…

no “optionals” are truly optional shoot your shot!!! you only apply to law school once (or twice, or thrice :p) cohesiveness is super important; softs only matter insofar as they fit into your narrative Wrote optionals: Penn, SLS, Berk 4 pg PS and why berk, why uva, vandy video essay, NU kira, why UCLA and prog…
Given the craziness of this cycle, I am very happy with my acceptances as a sub-170, sub-3.8 applicant! I sent out a couple panic apps in late December and was accepted at both schools with seemingly the same scholly offers as earlier applicants. The February panic apps were too late and I was WL/R where I would…
3.9/159/URM (PR,NA,white) only apply to schools you would actually attend (yes, even your safety). if you apply to 10+ schools and get one acceptance, make sure you are happy with it. otherwise, it’s a waste of time and money Ask schools for fee waivers, they will give them to you. reverse splitters lemme hear ya!…
Received LSAC Fee Waiver. First-generation college and professional applicant; low-income (Pell Grant recipient); Southeast Asian male (second-generation); went to top public university; super KJD (dual enrolled through high school, graduating two years early). Wrote diversity statement on being second-generation…
Take multiple classes with the same professor(s) throughout your undergraduate years to build strong relationships and secure solid letters of recommendation. I approached undergrad with a PhD-like mindset, refining a single idea within my major each year, which not only strengthened my academic performance but also…
I wish I only applied around the area I want to practice in. I’m only considering full tuition. I wasted a lot of time applying to East Coast schools that, in my heart, I’ll never go to. I feel like I couldn’t have had a better outcome even if I had scored higher on the LSAT. I slightly regret even taking it twice;…
