LSAT 155 GPA 3.74 2022–23 cycle
Admitted to American University
Not the greatest test taker ever, but was still able to get many acceptances. Life experience is important too – do well on the LSAT, but don’t forget about the rest of the picture.
Number one advice to get into those tougher schools is to be interesting. Also, don’t let law school decisions control your happiness.
Ask for a fee waiver at every school you apply for, I received one at all 11 schools. Also NEGOTIATE YOUR SCHOLARSHIPS, it doesn’t hurt to ask and the worst they can do is say no!
You’ll never regret giving it your best! Also, apply early. Even if it works out, the stress of waiting until the very end to apply and receive decisions isn’t fun.
Take your time, don’t rush the process. As hard and annoying as it is, see the process through. And yes, I’m on LSD and not attending a T-14. What about it?
If every time you check your status checker and see that it’s still under review, just know that’s another day you haven’t been rejected :)
Took me 9 months of hardcore studying to get from a 150–>174. If you have the resources, dedication, and attention span you can do it :)

I cast a wide net as far as applications (11 schools) so that I would have enough options
Apply to every possible school you can, even if you think you won’t get it. Do it anyway.
this cycle is/will be a mix of delusion and miracles. it only takes one yes!
