Admitted to Vanderbilt UniversityME: small liberal arts college in southern US, philosophy major, social justice minor, ncaa athlete D3, student body president which placed me on a lot of academic/social/trustee committees, passionate about the outdoors/sports/my college/learning, felt like I did a good job of displaying myself as well rounded,…
what is meant for you won’t miss you xoxo best advice i can give is to not be like me and decide to take the lsat/apply to law school for that cycle in august. i think i lost *at least *5 years off of my life with the study-for-the-october-lsat-then-apply-by-mid-november turnaround.
Ask for help for your personal statement. Study really hard for the LSAT. Once submitted, get off this website and wait for your emails to roll in! (◕︵◕)
LSAT. It matters. (Although I killed myself studying, I still wish I had studied even more) Take your time when filling up the applications. Ask for fee waivers (if money is a concern). You would be surprised how many will provide. Apply early (or so I’ve heard - Im not too keen of this advice) Enjoy the Process
…annual stipend) was a big plus :) I took the summer off to study full-time for the LSAT, and I think it paid off. My biggest pro was my GPA imo. In my personal statement and diversity statements I dug into being LGBT, working in a law firm as a legal assistant/paralegal, and my immigrant, Spanish-speaking girlfriend.
…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…
LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…
LSAT: 164 (Sept. 2019) –> 169 (July 2020 Flex). Studied using 7Sage for over a year, with a few-month break in the middle for basketball season. 159 diagnostic. Attended a small liberal arts school, not prestigious. Softs: NCAA athlete but otherwise pretty common softs: Internships, PT jobs, etc. UVA’s been my dream…
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…
…early!! no later than thanksgiving don’t waste money on an LSAT tutor. i used the powerscore bibles + forums + analytics to study and that was enough to get my 174 in one sitting even though i didn’t feel quite ready to take the test at that point (oops). tutors do not have secret knowledge and figuring out where…
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…
LSAT: Give yourself more time than you think you need to study. If you can swing it, a tutor or course is a great investment into your future because just a few LSAT points can mean a huge difference in where you are accepted and/or scholarship amounts. (I used 7Sage and PowerScore.) If you think you left points on…
…this process, here are some tips based on what I learned: LSAT This was the hardest part of the process for me. I studied while working full-time, so earning a 169 is something I’m really proud of.- I finally got the score I wanted once I managed my nerves. The key for me was mentally separating the LSAT from my…
…of anywhere. -Work for a while before going to law school. LSAT: -Took a lot of practice tests and reviewed wrong answers extensively. -Took LSAT with logic games. -My advice would be to give yourself a good few days off from studying before the actual exam. **GPA: ** -Wrote an addendum addressing a neurological…
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…
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…
