LSAT 175 GPA 3.58 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of California—Los Angeles

Start seriously thinking about law school a lot earlier than I did. I got lucky I got into the school I really wanted to go to, but barely missed it because I applied in January.

LSAT 172 GPA 3.77 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to Duke University

Caught a ton of waitlists in the tough 2020 cycle. I ended up taking a job in consulting instead of going to law school this year. May try again in a few years, we’ll see.

LSAT 173 GPA 3.10 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.

LSAT 172 GPA 4.03 2023–24 cycle

Attending New York University

SEVERELY better cycle compared to 2022-2023 for me (◕_◕). I did not retake the LSAT, just strengthened my application parts and applied in November instead of February.

LSAT 176 GPA 3.80 2021–22 cycle

Attending Columbia University

South Asian Muslim female. Wrote ‘why Berkeley’ and ‘why Michigan’ essays. To whoever is creeping on this in the future, good luck with your cycle :)
