…excellent. I found writing essays considerably harder than studying for the LSAT, despite being a very speedy and strong writer. The revision process will also take a lot longer than you think, especially if you are getting feedback from friends/busy mentors. Please please start early!! Talk to current students…

Admitted to 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.
…I now realize was a huge risk. While I did good on my LSAT, I was averaging a 162-165 up until the month before I took my test. I then changed my study habits and started averaging 168-174 right before I took in August. I am sure that if I kept studying I could’ve gotten a higher LSAT, but since I forced myself to…
Overall, I was very lucky with how my cycle went. I think I owe this almost entirely to my work experience and LSAT score. **Work experience: **I have worked in public interest law for almost 7 years, so I believe my application/ resume showed clear public interest commitment and an obvious why law, but my essays…
…Who is giving the advice (an admissions officer? a law student? a 0L? an attorney at work who graduated in ‘70?) Generally the most credible sources of information come from the primary sources themselves, the admissions officers! People who had good cycles can also provide good advice, but they too may not always…
…this process, here are some tips based on what I learned: LSAT This was the hardest part of the process for me. I studied while working full-time, so earning a 169 is something I’m really proud of.- I finally got the score I wanted once I managed my nerves. The key for me was mentally separating the LSAT from my…
…as you do that the sky truly is the limit! Below are a few LSAT and application tips I found to be helpful: Tips for apps Ask for those app fee waivers!!!! Often they will just send you one if you ask, others have you fill out a quick app but this will save you so much money in the long run- Have a few people review…
I entered the 21-22 application cycle a little unsure about my August LSAT score and whether applying with a 168 would enable me to accomplish my goals. After considering retaking the LSAT, I ultimately decided against it because I did not believe I’d be able to successfully study for the exam during the school year…
I took my first LSAT in August of 2021. I didn’t feel great about it so I registered for October before I got my score back just to be safe. I ended up with a 162 which was way below where I had been PTing. I did much better in October. I don’t know specifically why I was able to make the 14 point jump but I know I…
…the narrative you craft can indeed compensate for a lower LSAT or GPA. I did not redact my LSAT at WashU. I did not write an LSAT addendum. I took the test twice back to back and got basically the same score twice even though I was PT’ing much higher. I studied for 7 months before I took the test the first time and…
…the most important parts of your application: Get the best LSAT you can. Your highest score is the only one that matters. I had a 161 and a 176 (don’t call it a come back). I studied one hour a day for 10 months. Do it every day. If you are in undergrad, maintain a 4.00. That is your highest priority. Make your…
…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…
…out a way to package it nicely into a two page essay. LSAT: I have to say getting this score was God’s doing. Didn’t do anything to deserve it, but Jesus had grace and listened to my begging<3 Practically though, set expectations low and expect the studying to take time. Some people get their score in six months.…
