LSAT 168 GPA 3.96 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

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…

LSAT 171 GPA 3.33 2023–24 cycle

Attending Washington University in St. Louis

…certain that law school is the right path for you. I studied full-time for around 7 months and took the test twice before I got a 174 on my third attempt. Apply broadly and look at the lsd.law school data - be realistic about schools, especially in the T14, that have GPA floors. A 174 LSAT is the 75th percentile for…
