…ridiculous sometimes. Just do the best you can, take the LSAT as many times as it takes to get a 170+, and lean into your softs. I don’t have any family members or friends in law, and had no idea what I was doing when I applied. I was just very candid and transparent in my application, and studied for the LSAT for…

Admitted to University of California—Los AngelesDo your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.
Give yourself a few years to decide if you really want to go to law school. Then, give yourself more than a month to study for the LSAT. I did one of these things.
TIPS: It is impossible to understate the power of a cohesive narrative throughout your application. Second only to studying for the LSAT, I would recommend spending the most significant amount of time thinking about why you genuinely want to go to law school, and then highlighting some compelling links between the…
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,…
I recommend LSAT Demon to study! You don’t need legal experience, but you should have a cohesive narrative explaining “why law, why now.” Write all optional essays that pertain to you. Apply broadly to negotiate aid and don’t be afraid to ask! Consider overall COA and location when rankings and scholarships are…
…not the destination. for what you actually came here for — studied a lot for the LSAT bc knew I was going to be a splitter. I have three takes total, the first two were 16low. It took me like a month to learn the material/concepts and then many many months to become consistent such that I could perform under…
…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…
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
Go for the higher LSAT score and give yourself plenty of time to study for and take it! Write as many optionals as possible and make the case for how you are unique to a school given your experiences, interests, etc. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Wave
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…
…may not have had during my senior year of college. For the LSAT, I found that consistency was key. I treated my studying like a non-negotiable commitment but also made sure I wasn’t burning myself out and took one day off per week. I took it twice and went from a 171–>172 (lol). After the second try, I decided to…
Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex (considered retaking, as I would like to minimize debt - however, I told myself that I would be satisfied with a 170+ before going into the test and felt that I should maintain that perspective. My PT average over the 12 or so tests that I took leading up to the January administration was a 171,…
I ended up getting into my dream school, so my cycle ended up perfect for my goals. I could’ve done much better though had I retaken the LSAT. That would be my one regret from this cycle. My diagnostic was a 167 and I barely studied for my 171. (Well, and not taking undergrad grades seriously ). But hey, it all…
If you have a low GPA and want to get into a reach school, give the LSAT everything you have, even if you have to take it 3+ times. I think I left a few points on the table because I didn’t study as long as I should have, so don’t do that. Put a lot of effort into addendums (if you have a valid reason). Schools are…
…for putting this whole site together <3. June 2021 LSAT Flex 169 (was PT’ing at a 175-179 so this was a huge gut punch) August 2021 LSAT 4-section 176 (7sage will be your friend here) 2 years full-time work experience in government communications and diplomacy.

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…
