I thought my 160 was elite until I got on this damn website LOL Take your time with your personal statement and diversity statements. After reading both adcomms should be able to have a good idea of who you are as an individual in addition to why you want to be a lawyer. “Optional” essays arent optional if you…

Admitted to Georgia State UniversityNon-traditional first-gen student just stumbling through this whole process. I regret not taking the LSAT again, but r&r isn’t really an option for me. My choice is ultimately coming down to Iowa, UConn, and PSU - Dickinson depending on scholarship offers. Committed and deposited at Dickinson on 3/24 Some general…
If you’re in undergrad, focus 100% on GPA, because it is the only thing you cannot improve after the fact. LSAT can improve, it’s a skill. If you are in a rush to go straight into law school, ask yourself if you would skip a year for $100,000. If your answer is no, you are probably a rich kid funded by your rich…

Graduated from a meh state school in 3 years, failed French 101 in freshman year (i know kill me please). Busted ass in my last year and brought my GPA up to the current level. I probably could have worked harder on my essays, and should have submitted a diversity statement (undocumented immigrant, mild poverty). my…
It’s better to have a higher LSAT score than applying early and February is NOT too late to take the LSAT! I applied in November 2023 w/ a 154 LSAT and then decided to put my applications on hold to retake the LSAT in Feb. FSU accepted me w/ my 154 and I sent my Feb score (159) to the schools I put on hold and was…

prepare and apply early! I didn’t prepare well enough for the LSAT so I took it again in January, so I didn’t go complete at most schools until early February. Stats are obviously not everything in an application, but I saw people with stats very similar to mine who applied much earlier in the cycle get in and get…
