LSAT 160 GPA 3.20 2025–26 cycle
-Apply early, as in as soon as the apps open to truly get an advantage, anyone who applied after Thanksgiving appeared to be at a disadvantage -Start studying for the LSAT early! I’m #old so didn’t realize how much of a slog it was, I made meaningful enroads in like 3 months but with 6 you can really nail it. I’d…
I told them Harvey Specter sent me
Try to get a good GPA in college, but if you can’t it’s not over. Write all the optionals, go to the LSAC fairs and talk to reps (I reminded one admissions team about our chat in my why x essay). If you’re on a waitlist, write them an earnest letter. Basically, be bold and put yourself out there as much as possible…
You’re just a number on a spreadsheet unfortunately.

Don’t let the bastards get you down
If you are truly passionate about becoming an attorney, do it! Don’t let the overthinking, fear or doubts impact your decision. Believe that you can and you will!
Money comes and goes… but swag is forever.
You need support, and whatever that means in terms of you. The journey to law school is a long, drawn out process. If you’re like myself, being first-gen, I had no clue what to expect (my advice also applies to Non-Trad applicants because as we get older relatability becomes more difficult because everyone’s lives…
Reapplicant. Last year is https://www.lsd.law/users/creep/MindlessUsefulFox. Focusing on my essays and not applying as a KJD helped a lot the second time around.
If you’re going through hell, keep going.
LSAT 163 GPA 3.29 2024–25 cycle
Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles
let them tell you no, apply everywhere!
I could say this a million times, but it’s only true if you believe it: Your JD will be worth as much as you make it—as much as YOU make it! It’s not the school you attend, but your performance in that school and beyond that truly matters. Figure out what it’s going to take, commit, put your head down, grind, and…
May your curse in life be that your hard work is mistaken for talent.
LSAT 151 GPA 3.31 2023–24 cycle
Attending University of California—Los Angeles
I was told countless times that my numbers would get me nowhere, and that having a compelling story / life experiences didn’t matter. I am here to tell you… yeah that’s pretty much the case unfortunately. But all you need is the one that really sees you for you and not your scores. For me, that was UCLA!! (and Davis…
You are so much smarter, more qualified, and more interesting than you think you are! Don’t get in your own way.
This process isn’t remotely as cut and dry as people who post on here and Reddit would have you believe. Not a single calculator predicted the school I got into or the scholarship I was offered – who you are and what you personally bring to the table matters too. Set your sights high, cast a wide net, and be open to…
GPA 3.36 2025–26 cycle
Unless you have a 4.0 GPA, a 178+ LSAT, and like to throw away your money at pick-me institutions that aren’t really there to educate anybody, find another field. There are plenty of options out there with WAY more aura. Peace.
