Admitted to University of Southern CaliforniaI 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…
…excellent. I found writing essays considerably harder than studying for the LSAT, despite being a very speedy and strong writer. The revision process will also take a lot longer than you think, especially if you are getting feedback from friends/busy mentors. Please please start early!! Talk to current students…
Applications are expensive, but law schools are expensiver! Background: USC student getting a BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and an MA in Public Relations and Advertising by May ‘23.

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…

Often they will just send you one if you ask, others have you fill out a quick app but this will save you so much money in the long run- Have a few people review…
…allowed me to have a somewhat successful cycle. Helpful LSAT Resources; Sure, I didn’t make a 170+ but I decided that I couldn’t sacrifice my mental health more than I already had…. I also don’t feel like its necessary to pay thousands of dollars for a course but it totally depends on how disciplined you can be with…
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,…
…that the most significant weakness in my application is my LSAT score. I am working to increase that score as I prepare my second set of applications. Stay diligent with your studies and keep pressing forward. Do not let my set of waitlists deter your desire to apply to your dream schools. You do not know your…
…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…
This is going to be long, but I have lots of wisdom to share that I wish I knew before! LSAT Prioritize the LSAT! It’s a difficult exam, but also very learnable. Every minute and penny you invest will save you thousands in tuition, so I was happy with my decision to pay for a few hours of tutoring. Even if this…
