Admitted to Suffolk UniversityApplying for law school after graduating a year early in 2021 with a degree in political science. I took my first LSAT in August 2022, retook it in October and scored 165. Was debating on taking the LSAT once more in January but ultimately decided against it because I wanted to finish applying to schools before the…
Advice: Look at employment data!!! Rankings are great and all but do your research and don’t rely on the rankings to indicate your chances of ending up in your preferred space. Also, if schools have not released their updated employment numbers, you can just ask them for the stats. if you don’t ask, you don’t get…
Attended a large public California school for one year before transferring back home to a smaller liberal arts school in the midwest (regionally well known) -Did have C&F issues regarding drinking citations from my school but not within a year of when I was applying (all from my sophomore year) -Took LSAT Flex in…
godspeed brothers i’m tired
If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, then what you want will be the sacrifice - someone wiser than me
The earlier you can apply, the better. I was very busy in the fall and left it for break, and by the time many schools got back to me with financial aid and admissions decisions it was cutting it way closer than I was comfortable with.
Trust in God’s plan man!

Dream big! You never know what a law school might be looking for!

I…
I applied to a lot of reach schools because I just wanted to go somewhere with great employment options, so I shot my shots. My GPA from undergrad was a 3.5, but because of one bad semester and a bad 2 years at community college due to multiple traumas I experienced, my GPA fell down to a 2.8. I wrote an addendum…
Take the LSAT again (lol).
You can do it! Schools want students who will enrich their classroom environment. Sell your story. Show them how much they need you. LORs and ECs can make up for lackluster academic performance, although it will not make up the difference for the top-ranked schools. That being said, every school has more applicants…
LSAT 159 GPA 2.43 2022–23 cycle
Attending Case Western Reserve University
If your GPA is like mine shoot for a 160. I did not want to take the LSAT again. I liked 7sage for LSAT prep. Dont worry about time limits until you understand most types of LR and LG question / game types. RC just read carefully and pretend it is an interesting reading passage . I studied full-time while working…
my Law School Master Spreadsheet (ignore typos pls): https://tinyurl.com/4ykpnke6
Did all nonspecific optional essays (the “Why X” variety) but didn’t do diversity statements. I’m a straight white guy, so I really can’t talk about a lifetime of adversity and expect to be taken seriously–just seems more insulting to make that pitch or to use the space for really anything other than what it’s…

The worst they say is no (or not respond)! I was able to solicit…
