LSAT: Give yourself more time than you think you need to study. If you can swing it, a tutor or course is a great investment into your future because just a few LSAT points can mean a huge difference in where you are accepted and/or scholarship amounts. (I used 7Sage and PowerScore.) If you think you left points on…
My mistakes: •Originally considered a gap year to study and work. Instead, I graduated in December 2021 and changed my mind, studying for almost a month and got a 156 on January LSAT. •Applied late in the cycle and got phenomenal responses from low tier and month-long static from my top choices. Be less impulsive,…
I’ve enjoyed seeing what other people have written here when they do write something so I figured I’d give my advice (LSAT/apps/essays) to the wind for anyone willing to read it: LSAT My diagnostic was 152, ended up with a 166 after studying for like a month lol. You can get a lot out of free content if you don’t…
I gained 20 points on the LSAT. Keep working hard and give yourself time to rest between studying. You’ll get there eventually!
LSAT 171 GPA 3.22 2024–25 cycle
…2 powerlifting meets, 1 triathlon, and countless hours of study later, I’m back. I scored a 171 on the LSAT without accommodations. I landed 2 full-time roles as an undergraduate student. I finished my last 3 semesters with a 3.99 LSAC GPA. You can do it.
…this process, here are some tips based on what I learned: LSAT This was the hardest part of the process for me. I studied while working full-time, so earning a 169 is something I’m really proud of.- I finally got the score I wanted once I managed my nerves. The key for me was mentally separating the LSAT from my…
…school I applied to other than 2 non-ranking schools. My LSAT at the time was a 150. That disappointing cycle motivated me to transform my frustration into motivation to score as high as I could before the start of the current cycle. My study regimen allowed me to score a 169 on the Aug 2023 LSAT. Below, you will…

The LSAT’s biggest hater. If you’re like me and are terrible at studying for and taking standardized tests, don’t let your lack-luster test taking abilities deter you from law school. Work hard in undergrad, learn to read and write well, keep your expectations realistic, and you can absolutely get into law school!…
The LSAT is not the SAT, spend as much time possible as you can studying for it, and you will be rewarded.
…(I would’ve loved to get even one more point on my LSAT). I worked really hard on my personal statement, and I’m proud of how it turned out. There were so many ways that I wanted to tell my story, but I settled on the one that ultimately felt true to me, even if it was a struggle to write at times. Do the optional…
Don’t make the same mistakes I did. 1.) Apply early as possible. (September/October) 2.) Take the LSAT more than once (I assumed a 163 would get me the scholarship and schools I preferred) –> Study for at least three months (Not two weeks like I did) 3.) Use LSAT prep courses. You will get the money back via…
…addition to 1 CAS fee waiver for participating in an LSAC study Submitted nearly all apps on or around 10/10, but decided to take November LSAT - reached out to schools that did not have a stated LSAT hold policy (UT, Stanford, DePaul) and didn’t do anything else for schools with policies (Wisconsin, LUC, UIUC) SIDE…
…diverse than ever. With the rise in both median GPA and LSAT, a good story, a powerful story, is more a boon than ever before. That is the way that we- all people, really- are able to differentiate themselves. Play into that. It’s going to feel odd to pick and prune at yourself. It might be painful to pull a story…
Apply early! I had no choice because I did not have the usual time to prepare (studied in 6 months while working full time and moving countries/continents). I took the LSAT in February and wrote my essays in two weeks. Almost waited another cycle but decided to try my luck and ended up with some good options.…
…Rs were because of my C&F. Stats matter, work hard at the LSAT. I had a 168 diagnostic with most of my misses on LG and studied with 7sage for a total of 2 months and scored a 174, 180. My goal was to get into YLS(middle finger) hence the retake, but I think this could have led to some YP at some schools. Write good…
Do not be afraid of a gap year! I was so close to settling with my LSAT score and applying to schools I was less excited about. It was scary to leave the education system for the first time, but it was absolutely a positive experience, gave me time to study, and helped me save some money for law school. My outcomes…
