Everyone makes it seem like if you aren’t above at least one of the medians, you will be waitlisted or rejected. I’m proof this isn’t the case! Of course ED helps. Probably being a STEM major doesn’t hurt either.

Admitted to Catholic University Of America27, recently furloughed as apart of trumps BS. looking for a more stable career field. Preference in GOVT/HUM AID, but most likely will do Family/Immigration/Veteran/ADA law. No cost for law because of GI BILL.
Keep taking the LSAT. And take it in-person. I went 162 -> 168 -> 167 -> 168 -> 175. The last one was the only one I didn’t take at home or in a stupid hotel. Remote test-taking sucks. Go to the testing place.

if you are considering not applying, JUST APPLY!! YOUR LSAT SCORE is not everything!! Shoot for the stars. Also, taking a gap year is a great way to see if law is really for you, and to save up money.
GPA > WE I naively thought WE would benefit me in the admissions process but was wrong. My 3.77 went to a 3.5 after a challenging semester of 18 credits and 2 different jobs at 45+ hours per week.
Don’t burn yourself out!- I definitely did. Adding all my application stats here to hopefully help future years ppl compare when applying to similar schools and/or with similar stats!
A low LSAT score is not necessarily a huge detriment to being admitted into law school. Your GPA and soft factors can go a long way, especially with a good personal statement!
Applying earlier would have likely to my getting accepted instead of waitlisted for a number of these schools
tbh, do not get on here. it makes your brain jump into comparison mode. go to law school for yourself and your education, not to get into a competitive game.
Don’t tell anyone why you really want to go to law school… it sounds pretentious. If anyone asks, tell them you thought it was a really sexy thing to do.
LSAT is low but I have never been a good standardized test taker and displayed that through an addendum, also came down with the flu on my testing date.
Shoot your shot. My top schools were Michigan, Berkeley, UCLA, and USC… Thankful that someone saw my potential. Please know you are more than #s.
Everyone on the internet is lying. Don’t believe what they say and shoot your shot if they can’t do it they don’t want you to do it.
apply, apply, apply! apply to as many as possible and crank up those statements :)))))
I applied with a 160. Got 11 waitlists so took April lsat and got 164

Your mother’s favorite law school applicant. Class of 2024, not 2025. Won’t let me change it
I cast a wide net as far as applications (11 schools) so that I would have enough options
