LSAT 172 GPA 3.77 2020–21 cycle

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.

Wrote all optional essays. Was a STEM major, and would definitely recommend making sure it’s clear in your app why you are transitioning to law school if you are also STEM!

Apply to “soft safeties” i.e. schools where you’re pretty damn certain you’ll get in BUT would also actually consider going there–it may be where you end up, and thats ok.

Be meticulous in logging all dates into LSD so future 0Ls can be effectively neurotic. Also – follow your gut. If you know you could do better on the LSAT, take it again.

Do not stress for the first two to three months after you submit applications. You cannot tell how things are going to go; don’t bother thinking about them.

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.

Good luck! If you are a reverse splitter really try to have a memorable personal statement! I think taking a bit of a risk there paid off for me.
