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

Admitted to Boston UniversityOverall, I was very lucky with how my cycle went. I think I owe this almost entirely to my work experience and LSAT score. **Work experience: **I have worked in public interest law for almost 7 years, so I believe my application/ resume showed clear public interest commitment and an obvious why law, but my essays…
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…
…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…

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…
…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…
…go test optional in the near future, I’m anticipating the LSAT will still be vital for most law schools. Take the exam seriously! A dedicated 3-4 months of studying will pay dividends in the future. - But don’t take the exam too seriously that it impacts your self-worth. Your value as a human being has nothing to do…
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…
…From 153 on the LSAT-Flex, to a 151 on the first 4 section test since the pandemic…to now finally having a score in the 160s! It took completely changing the way I studied and giving a part-time job level of focus to the test for 3 months, but, I have to say, it was worth it. Give yourself lots of time to work on…
…numbers truly are the most important thing, and without my LSAT score, I would have never stood a chance with my GPA. For the LSAT, I wish I could properly give helpful advice, but honestly I was very fortunate: due to Covid, I lost my job, but was lucky enough to have a home with my parents where, besides buying my…
Because of my GPA, I scared myself into believing I had to achieve a perfect LSAT score and delayed testing for almost 4 years. The forums and the chat can be useful, but they can also be harmful. Know your limit. If you start to doubt your worth, your chances, yourself.. UNPLUG. I did not pay for study programs or…
LSAT Do not sign up for an official test if your PT scores are not consistently in your goal range. I made this mistake three times. Cold Diagnostic December 2022: 152 September 2023 LSAT 176 **GPA: I was six years removed from college when I decided to apply to law school, so there wasn’t much I could do in this…
…my application to make it a bit more informative: Took the LSAT as a Freshman for some reason, got very lucky and did not have to retake. Graduating a year early (Super KJD). Standard pre-law major and somewhat difficult course load (18-21 credits per semester). Attended a low-ranked, very small public University in…
