Took the LSAT twice. First take got 168; Second take got 169. I was accepted to ASU, OU, and WashU with a 168. I was accepted to all others with a 169.
Applied very late (Feb/Mar), it worked out well for me but I would strongly recommend getting apps in by New Years to save some stress with deadlines
i had superrrr low stats for the schools that i applied to and still got into the school of my dreams!! so shoot your shot guys, all it takes is one!
Take as many practice tests as you can. If you can’t get a perfect score on LG (at least untimed), then you have not studied enough, in my opinion.
Don’t stress out too much! Everything about applying to law school takes far longer than it really should, but someday it’s suddenly all over :)
Have fun, proofread essays, and space applications out to avoid burnout especially if your applying in October and November. Best of luck!
You will go where you are meant to go. Just try your best, and even if it doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to, you will have no regrets.
Honestly, I have to say one thing if there wasn’t a max at $400,000 on the scholarships amount that I am able to input, they would be higher.
