LSAT 174 Int'l GPA Above Average 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Minnesota

American undergrad studying at a top English university and receiving a British BA. I had no reportable GPA due to a British degree, but I got an upper-second-class degree. Got fee waivers / no fees for every school except Cornell and UT Austin. Very, very upset about this cycle.

Admitted to University of Texas at Austin

Wrote Why X’s most places that asked and some that didn’t. For anyone looking in from the future, this cycle was incredibly competitive. My only advice is to apply broadly; I was accepted below median at UT and waitlisted at median at Notre Dame. All it takes is one school.

2 years of part time public interest legal clerking. super kjd (3 years of undergrad/graduating at 20). lgbt. adverse childhood circumstances + clerking made up the bulk of my personal statement. happy with how my cycle turned out and grateful to be going to law school :-)

LSAT 172 GPA 3.44 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to University of Minnesota

Initially applied with a 167. Scored a 172 on the January 2021 LSAT and applied with that afterward. DACA recipient. (out-of-state for UC system schools, which made me ineligible for any aid.) FYI I was able to afford my apps because I qualified for the LSAC waiver.

Attending University of Virginia

I got my first acceptance in 3 days and my last in 183 days. In the 180 days in between I tried (and failed) to anticipate each and every decision and it compromised my mental health. My advice? Block this site and wait patiently for the emails like you’re supposed to.

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).

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).

No LSAT plateau is permanent Apply earlier than I did Ask for fee waivers Talk to lawyers. Find out what they do and whether they like it Recommended resources: LSAT Demon, Thinking LSAT, Michigan’s A2Z, Harvard and Yale’s Navigating Law School Admissions

please don’t be afraid to take a gap year (or a few) between undergrad and law school!!!! being able to articulate why law and why you’re going to be a great lawyer is more important to adcomms than what club you were president of or your favorite class

Do your best and trust that it will all work out. Regardless of what happens you will be rethinking law school by the end of you second week of 1L anyway haha Take the process but not yourself to seriously. You will end up where you are meant to be.

Will probably attend based on some combination of cost of attendance and employment outcomes. Current ranking based on acceptances (pretty iffy on it) : Florida Georgia Indiana Arizona State Minnesota Iowa (scholarship pending)
