LSAT 172 GPA 3.62 2025–26 cycle

LSAT 169 GPA 3.97 2022–23 cycle

Admitted to Arizona State University

Uhhh, work hard, do a lot more outside of studying for LSAT and GPA that you both love and can make an impact on your communities, and have fun with it. At the end of the day, you want to be a lawyer right? Then going to law school is the goal, where you go is always secondary.

LSAT 168 GPA 3.29 2024–25 cycle

-Only 5 weeks to study for LSAT, taken only once -Biology BS (3.29) to Biology PhD but dropped after one year (3.885) -My C&F was a very minor traffic ticket that was only reported to a few schools based on guidelines -Email schools for waivers.

LSAT 171 GPA 4.20 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Virginia

…and it was the absolute rock bottom moment of my life. The LSAT and law school gave me a goal and a vision to strive for. A way to better my life and achieve what I thought I was capable of. I had been humbled beyond belief, but I was not out of it yet. I ended my relationship and entered into a training montage of…

LSAT 168 GPA 3.87 2025–26 cycle

Attending University of California—Berkeley

…probably lying through their teeth anyways. (2) Start studying for the LSAT early. If you’ve been out of school a while, you might need months or even years to get back into the swing of studying every day and taking exams. APPLICATION PHASE (3) Apply broadly, but figure out WHERE you would SERIOUSLY go. Don’t just…

LSAT 172 GPA 3.79 2022–23 cycle

Attending Duke University

…ridiculous sometimes. Just do the best you can, take the LSAT as many times as it takes to get a 170+, and lean into your softs. I don’t have any family members or friends in law, and had no idea what I was doing when I applied. I was just very candid and transparent in my application, and studied for the LSAT for…

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 171 GPA 3.82 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of California—Berkeley

Hard work and a cohesive narrative help a lot. I spent approximately 1 year (mixed levels of intensity) studying for the LSAT and went from 152 to 171. I’m a KJD, but I’ve had several unusual internships. I’m also an engineering major in a genuinely unique program. Experiences in this program have shaped my…

Attending Arizona State University

Applied to ASU ED My entire goal since I started studying for the LSAT is to go to school there. I’m a non traditional super splitter. Wish me luck/pray for me

LSAT 166 GPA 3.50 2024–25 cycle

Admitted to University of Notre Dame

R&R if you are not happy with your first cycle results. I only got into Temple the previous cycle and WL at 3 T-14s. I knew I could do better, so I studied for the LSAT for 3 months, got a job in the legal field, volunteered, and refined my essays. Apply as early as possible, especially if below medians. I think the…

LSAT 171 GPA 3.37 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

…story of self growth to tell of my 5 years post college. Study hard for the LSAT and write your ass off on the essays and you’ll surprise yourself.

LSAT 168 GPA 3.75 2024–25 cycle

Attending Washington and Lee University

Start studying WAY before your LSAT! I only gave myself ~3 months, which was not nearly enough. Take it multiple times. I recommend taking it once early on in the process to get the test jitters out/down and then retaking later once you have a consistent PT score. Request Fee Waivers! Most schools give them out, so…
