For what it’s worth… Applying to law school in the year of Covid has been stressful and unpredictable. Will next year be as competitive? IMO yes. LSAT Flex has increased averages and with so many applicants applying due to Covid/economy there will be deferrals. Apply as early in September as possible. Non 170+…

Apply early in the cycle if you can. Do the optional essays (nothing is really ‘optional’) Study for the LSAT for at least 3 months (take breaks, don’t burn out) PROOF READ Everything happens for a reason :)
TIPS: It is impossible to understate the power of a cohesive narrative throughout your application. Second only to studying for the LSAT, I would recommend spending the most significant amount of time thinking about why you genuinely want to go to law school, and then highlighting some compelling links between the…

LSAT 163 GPA 3.85 2024–25 cycle
Attending University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign
Start studying for the LSAT early!! Do not compromise yourself by applying with a low score. I firmly believe with enough dedication everyone can test into the 160’s.
I took the LSAT cold without studying and applied without retaking it. Don’t be like me.
Live laugh love But for real advice: for the LSAT, when you study, go through missed answers, note what “type” of question it is, and try to understand the “why” - it helps to identify patterns and get better at the test Understand your “why” for law and build your narrative around that for your application,…
Spend more time studying for the LSAT. Consume your life with it. Be a paralegal, legal assistant or get a legal related job to see if you want to be a lawyer.
Give yourself time to study for the LSAT and use that time wisely. Don’t get lost in trying to find the best prep course. Indecision is more costly than wrong decision. Spend time drilling then drill some more - that’s how you learn. Think your life is boring and there’s nothing to write about? Wrong. There is only…

Get good grades and study for the LSAT
…outweigh an otherwise really stellar application. When studying for the LSAT, don’t just take PT’s until you hit your target scores. I consistently scored 156-162 on upwards of 15-30 PTs but I still couldn’t muster more than a 154 on 2 attempts. Try to exceed your targets if possible even though doing so is far…

should have started studying for the lsat since i could read
I recommend LSAT Demon to study! You don’t need legal experience, but you should have a cohesive narrative explaining “why law, why now.” Write all optional essays that pertain to you. Apply broadly to negotiate aid and don’t be afraid to ask! Consider overall COA and location when rankings and scholarships are…
Study for the LSAT, it’s worth it Tell a cohesive story in your essays
…from schools. I did not have the opportunity to study for the LSAT, as I have been in and out of homelessness since beginning this process in 2022. I could have done better, and probably should have tried; but, by the time I realized what a difference it would make, this was no longer an option. It would have meant…
R&R if you are not happy with your first cycle results. I only got into Temple the previous cycle and WL at 3 T-14s. I knew I could do better, so I studied for the LSAT for 3 months, got a job in the legal field, volunteered, and refined my essays. Apply as early as possible, especially if below medians. I think the…
…excellent. I found writing essays considerably harder than studying for the LSAT, despite being a very speedy and strong writer. The revision process will also take a lot longer than you think, especially if you are getting feedback from friends/busy mentors. Please please start early!! Talk to current students…
