don’t listen to any admissions predictors. essays/resume and your fit with a particular school are more important than your stats
Don’t listen to anyone that says you can’t apply in March with an April LSAT. If the school wants you, they will accept you/give you money. Is it really worth waiting a full extra year for next cycle?
Don’t give up and don’t believe you don’t have a shot because of your scores! And don’t hide your political values because you think adcoms will disagree with you. Be who you are and it will work out!

if you are considering not applying, JUST APPLY!! YOUR LSAT SCORE is not everything!! Shoot for the stars. Also, taking a gap year is a great way to see if law is really for you, and to save up money.
My first acceptance came about 12 days after submitting most of my applications! It was a big confidence boost, but I am skeptical of the conditional scholarship and the employment rate of the school.
LGBT+ GPA was 3.70 when I applied, updated schools with my new 3.73 in December. Chose not to be on any waitlists I was offered as I did not want to have to wait longer for decisions/change my plans
-wrote programmatic contribution for ucla -did upenn’s values essay -vandy interview on 11/11 (requested in app a week prior to interview date) -published undergraduate thesis in liberal arts field
Make connections with admissions counselors when you can! Go to drop-in hours, ask lots of questions, and show you care about your schools. if you’re working full time, STUDY FOR AT LEAST 6 months!!
-3.2 undergrad degree gpa but LSAC converts it to 2.7 from junior college transcripts a longgg time ago earned an MPA after undergrad worked full time through school
Attend research symposiums of other disciplines/colleges in your university, ask about how their fields intersect with the law, and try to build connections between those from your own understanding.
Do not let /LSAT get you down, stay away from reddit and other places. My GPA sucks and my LSAT isn’t good. Use the other factors in your application to help you out. Do not hesitate to ask for help.
I went to an undergrad with no GPAs, just written evaluations, and I’m very curious to see how this pans out :-O. Didn’t plan on studying law, but after 7 years in my industry, I’m switching careers.
No wisdom to share with you just yet. Hang tight!
-No “Why X”s -Professional theatre actor with some fun credits/premieres/tours. -Philadelphia resident who wanted to stay in Philly so UPenn was an easy decision to apply to and to accept.
Wisdom is forthcoming depending on how I do lmao.
Let me in
