My $0.02 on the application process: The LSAT If you think you need a year to study for the LSAT, you probably need two. Despite what everyone on reddit says, it takes most people a lot of time to score 160+. If you’re able, take a gap year (or two) and work part-time while studying for the LSAT. It may sound…

…about why law school is the right decision for you. Study early for the LSAT- : I gave the LSAT a whirl for the first time after only studying for 2.5 months. Not my best move. For my second test (171), I studied for 8 months. This allowed me to study less per day, but far more effectively and without getting burnt…
LSAT wisdom: start studying before you think you need to start studying- don’t sign up to take a test until you’re ready signing up before you’re ready will not get you motivated to study more than you already are – so don’t do it learn the fundamentals and then drill, drill, drill be consistent, not perfect try to…
…is. Finally, the places I was accepted are places where my LSAT was very comfortably in the higher margins of their medians. Applying with some extreme negatives on your record doesn’t always work, but it’s always worth a try. The odds were extremely against me, but I went into it with three rock solid beliefs: The…
…the road of applications. I feel like I owe this to any student who is in the same boat as I was when I graduated college. Advice if you have a GPA like mine: Throw your life at the LSAT- . I studied 4-6 Hours almost every single day for about 5 months. I took it the first time and didn’t receive the score I wanted,…

…hindsight, I think I should’ve taken that summer off to a) study the LSAT seriously and b) write all my essays. :(( Wish I scored higher on the LSAT (studied lightly over 5 months and seriously over 3-4 months and was PT’ing in the 16high to 17low range)… because that would’ve been the real difference-maker for my…
Take your time my friends. If you’re questioning whether you should retake the LSAT, do it. No rush to go to school. Don’t take LSAT study advice (e.g. _ hours per day for _ months). You know yourself and what works for you. Relax and build your own routine. Make LawSchoolTransparency your best friend. Pay attention…
…only care about your GPA’s value as this, alongside your LSAT, is what they report. A communications major with a 4.3 LSAC GPA will be more attractive to a law school than a 2.5 or even a 3.5 STEM major. Finish with a 4.00+ GPA and you’ll have an easier time dealing with the LSAT. The LSAT - Start studying your…
LSAT Studying: I used 7sage and supplemented with the PowerScore Bibles. After my first LSAT (171), I used the Loophole which took me from -4ish LR to -1ish, also helped my RC. Most helpful of all, about a month before my first LSAT I found an online study group. We BR’d PTs together. Having to explain my reasoning…
…(NYU/UCLA), I did not get in. I only attended two Admitted Student Weekends. I let my parents talk me out of attending ASWs for schools that weren’t at the top of my list, which I regret. Part of why I chose Northwestern over Vanderbilt was that I felt very different vibes from these weekends, and though I enjoyed…
…Just with the law school admissions process, you’ve had to study for and take the LSAT, finish an undergraduate education, do internships, work to support yourself during the process, and write a whole bunch of essays. Make sure to remember that all the ad comms and all the other applicants are all people too.…

LORS 2 academic- 1 professional One additional academic/professional sent to a few WL options. REQUIRED ESSAYS + OPTIONALS ** For my…
Make sure you give AMPLE time to study for the LSAT. I know far too many people that barely studied and just went wherever they got in. The LSAT and your GPA are about a 50/50 split of impact. You spent 4 whole years and literally countless hours to earn your GPA, so the other 50% of your application deserves more…

ADVICE in the off chance someone actually ends up reading this, here is some advice i wish i had given myself prior to beginning my law…
…those six months were filled with a ridiculous amount of LSAT studying and application writing. At the time I felt honored and I am still honored today to be able to say that I was selected as a part of YLS’s class of 2026, paid for by the Funded Law Education Program. This was and still is truly unbelievable having…
