Admitted to Duke University

…Who is giving the advice (an admissions officer? a law student? a 0L? an attorney at work who graduated in ‘70?)

LSAT 177 GPA 3.98 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of California—Berkeley

Very grateful for my cycle and results. I cannot recommend enough retaking the lsat even when you don’t want to, and studying differently if you weren’t thrilled with your initial results. If it is possible for you to work w someone 1:1, do it. LG was my biggest struggle (would’ve probably had a much easier time if…

LSAT 178 GPA 3.34 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Pennsylvania

…numbers truly are the most important thing, and without my LSAT score, I would have never stood a chance with my GPA.
