LSAT 163 GPA 3.86 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to University of Minnesota

I started this cycle knowing much less about the application process than I did by the time I got my final decision. Biggest things I learned: Study your ass off for the LSAT and apply broadly!

Attending Illinois Institute of Technology (Kent)

LSAT 175 GPA 2.94 2023–24 cycle

Admitted to Washington University in St. Louis

Keep taking the LSAT. And take it in-person. I went 162 -> 168 -> 167 -> 168 -> 175. The last one was the only one I didn’t take at home or in a stupid hotel. Remote test-taking sucks. Go to the testing place.

LSAT 160 GPA 3.90 2020–21 cycle

Attending Boston University

I did some really cool stuff in undergrad and yes it is actually T2 I’m no slouch. Also, I was a STEM major (I know, nobody cares BUT I DO) This process hurts. Be prepared to wait.

Terrible community college GPA. Took a break and went active duty Navy for 11 years. Completed degree on duty while deploying. Now or never.
