Admitted to Cornell UniversityTIPS: It is impossible to understate the power of a cohesive narrative throughout your application. Second only to studying for the LSAT, I would recommend spending the most significant amount of time thinking about why you genuinely want to go to law school, and then highlighting some compelling links between the…
I recommend LSAT Demon to study! You don’t need legal experience, but you should have a cohesive narrative explaining “why law, why now.” Write all optional essays that pertain to you. Apply broadly to negotiate aid and don’t be afraid to ask! Consider overall COA and location when rankings and scholarships are…
…dates: Penn 6/29, Columbia 6/7, Michigan 5/19. The LSAT is learnable and you must study to learn it. I used 7sage by myself for 15-25 hours per week for ~10 months. Because you will need to spend the late summer and fall preparing your essays and application forms, I suggest beginning to study in September of the…
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…
LSAT: 164 (Sept. 2019) –> 169 (July 2020 Flex). Studied using 7Sage for over a year, with a few-month break in the middle for basketball season. 159 diagnostic. Attended a small liberal arts school, not prestigious. Softs: NCAA athlete but otherwise pretty common softs: Internships, PT jobs, etc. UVA’s been my dream…
…early!! no later than thanksgiving don’t waste money on an LSAT tutor. i used the powerscore bibles + forums + analytics to study and that was enough to get my 174 in one sitting even though i didn’t feel quite ready to take the test at that point (oops). tutors do not have secret knowledge and figuring out where…
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…
Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex (considered retaking, as I would like to minimize debt - however, I told myself that I would be satisfied with a 170+ before going into the test and felt that I should maintain that perspective. My PT average over the 12 or so tests that I took leading up to the January administration was a 171,…
…numbers truly are the most important thing, and without my LSAT score, I would have never stood a chance with my GPA. For the LSAT, I wish I could properly give helpful advice, but honestly I was very fortunate: due to Covid, I lost my job, but was lucky enough to have a home with my parents where, besides buying my…
…my application to make it a bit more informative: Took the LSAT as a Freshman for some reason, got very lucky and did not have to retake. Graduating a year early (Super KJD). Standard pre-law major and somewhat difficult course load (18-21 credits per semester). Attended a low-ranked, very small public University in…
