Live laugh love But for real advice: for the LSAT, when you study, go through missed answers, note what “type” of question it is, and try to understand the “why” - it helps to identify patterns and get better at the test Understand your “why” for law and build your narrative around that for your application,…

Admitted to University of California—BerkeleyDo everything early. Start studying early, take your LSAT at an earlier administration than you need to, start writing early, submit your applications early. Don’t feel like you have to do law-related work to seem qualified. My work was only tangentially law-related, but was pretty unique and related clearly to a…
…and fill your time doing things you enjoy instead. AND STUDY HARD FOR THE LSAT!! you got this!
…dates: Penn 6/29, Columbia 6/7, Michigan 5/19. The LSAT is learnable and you must study to learn it. I used 7sage by myself for 15-25 hours per week for ~10 months. Because you will need to spend the late summer and fall preparing your essays and application forms, I suggest beginning to study in September of the…
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…
Very grateful for my cycle and results. I cannot recommend enough retaking the lsat even when you don’t want to, and studying differently if you weren’t thrilled with your initial results. If it is possible for you to work w someone 1:1, do it. LG was my biggest struggle (would’ve probably had a much easier time if…
Advice #1: Take the LSAT as many times as you can (assuming you’re studying in-between attempts so you actually have a chance at a better score). I took it twice and without a doubt I had a much better cycle because of it. Advice #2: Apply early. I wish I would’ve applied right when applications opened so I would’ve…
…save money!!! This is very expensive. Could have taken the LSAT in August. Felt super pressured to take it in May and only got to study a few weeks for it. I didn’t get through the last game and wouldn’t be surprised if the questions I missed were all from the games section.

…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…
LSAT: june ’21 164 –> august ‘21 170 thanks to just khan academy, mike kim’s LSAT trainer, and grinding PTs. my PT average was like a 165 so i truly got lucky on my second take. probably could have taken more time + money to study and squeezed out a few more points, but i was more than happy with a 170 and wanted to…
…with the guaranteed scholarship. When my August LSAT score came back, I wrestled with whether to re-take, knowing I was capable of a higher score. However, my gains would be only marginal since I needed to apply by November for early decision, and studying to re-take would eat time away that could be devoted to…
Take as much time as you need for the LSAT, start very early or reapply if you can/need to, and have faith in yourself! Only take the LSAT once you are getting practice scores that you would be happy with as official scores!!!!! ««< Good luck! **Harvard Interview: ** I am one of the few people who got rejected from…
