Give yourself WAY more time than you think you need to study for the LSAT. I’d recommend giving yourself no less than 1 year to study. You may be very smart, but you just don’t know whether the test will feel intuitive to you, whether you will plateau, whether you will burn out, etc. And DO NOT TAKE THE OFFICIAL…

Admitted to Georgetown UniversityLink to Reddit cycle recap with written application materials included:*** ***https://bit.ly/3HvUUqH **Numbers: 3.89/172 ** (Took the LSAT four times: April 2021: Cancel, October 2021: 162, November 2021: 164, June 2022: 172). I studied for the LSAT for over two years. Making the decision to delay a cycle and keep…
I got into Georgetown and was offered full tuition at a few schools with a terrible GPA and decent LSAT. I also had to disclose a misdemeanor, academic warning, and two gaps in my undergraduate degree to almost every school I applied to. My essays and addenda were polished, and I got positive feedback on them from…
I studied using exclusively LSAT Demon and JurisPrep (one more for the software, the other for an LSAT class). These and getting as much feedback as possible on how you present yourself to schools is what matters!
I went into this blind. It was suggested by my parent in October 2020 that I try the LSAT and become a lawyer. I signed up and studied for about 10 hours and took the November LSAT. I don’t have a strong reason for being a lawyer other than I think it will be interesting (I’ve been exposed after doing a prelaw camp…
…higher than that (as I write this, it is a 3.96) Took the LSAT 3 times - 166, 170, 172. First time was during the court case, so obviously I had a lot going on that blocked my focus before taking the test. Second time was after only 2 months studying. Third was right around my PT average. I never took a Practice…
…networking through campus visits and calls w/ current students definitely helped me swing a few A’s (USC, UCLA, UMich). Unless it’s HYS, always write the ‘Why X’. Make sure is personalized. If I was in admissions I would discriminate against KJDs. Joking as lots of you are incredibly intelligent, but go get that…
…institutions. Feel free to reach out to me at an admitted students’ weekend, and any other places you find me.

…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…
…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…
I studied for the LSAT for about 3.5 months using 7sage. My softs and essays were more business oriented which I think aligned with Penn and Columbia. I helped found a start up. Harvard, Duke, and NYU are more advocacy and community focused which is why I think my profile did not align as with these schools. I have…
study for the lsat longer than you think you need to, ask everyone you trust to critique your personal statement, pick recommenders who care about your success, apply for the fee waivers, and shoot your shot. during your interviews, smile. After your interviews, send a thank-you email to your interviewer. In a…
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.
Give yourself a few years to decide if you really want to go to law school. Then, give yourself more than a month to study for the LSAT. I did one of these things.
Study for the LSAT, it’s worth it Tell a cohesive story in your essays
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…
…I am outside of school. I also think it gave me time to study for the LSAT and put together strong applications. Those combined to make me a much stronger applicant and, I think, will ultimately make me a much happier law student. Second, taking time to seriously consider what I want to do and why. I think one of…
…valuable work experience (doesn’t have to be in law). 3. Study hard for the LSAT, get above the 75th percentile for your target school. 4. Write an honest GPA addendum and one that shows how you have learned from your experience/how you are different now 5. In your essays show your resilience, hard work, and…
