This whole system is a scam designed for the 1% to win every time (and get richer in the process), but here we all are buying into it; spending ≥1 year of our lives, our energy, and stressing out so that we can play the game too.
Went from 163 in October➡️ 167 in November➡️ 172 in January, so if you think you can do better, try taking the LSAT again. Also, the extra month in between November and January LSAT helped. I’ll update this at the end. (◕︵◕)
Apply to any and every school you have an interest in (ask for fee waivers), see which schools accept you, weigh the scholarships with the prestige that each school carries, and then make the best decision for your future.
Technically not KJD because I spent a year to get a Masters in between graduation from undergrad in ’21 and law school in ’22 but never worked full time. duke ur3 on 1/6/22 chicago ur3/4 on 1/18/22 & ur4/5 on 1/19/22
Spend more time studying for the LSAT than you think. As long as you are still learning, you should still be studying. Take good care of yourself and take as much time off as you need between undergrad and law school.
Submitted with a 3.80, Fall grades increased it to 3.83, Spring Grades to 3.85. Go Terriers! I loved my visit to BU which was the big decisive factor for me. I’m still going to ride some WL’s though (HLS and Mich).
Apply to a range of schools. Shoot for a couple shoe in schools for you, a couple right at your range for your stats, and a couple reach schools. That way your bases are covered but you can still shoot your shot.

Apply to peer schools of the school you want to attend to have competing scholarship offers to negotiate with. In hindsight I would have applied to more schools for more negotiation leverage.
GPA is so low as a result of a semester consisting of 12 failed credit hours (4 classes) and after that making Dean’s List (>3.7) all 6 semesters until graduation. Wrote an addendum for it.
they call me the goat because I scream a lot & eat everything in sight “I am the Slorax, I speak for the sex offenders,” what people seem to hear when they read my profile.
All I know is that I know nothing
Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.
