Admitted to Georgetown University…scholarship based on your grades & your awesome LSAT score that you relentlessly studied for Or Join the military and use your post-9/11 GI Bill I know number 2 seems drastic (especially given the current political & military situation), but don’t overlook the benefits. Anyone can sign a 4-year military contract,…
…dates: Penn 6/29, Columbia 6/7, Michigan 5/19. The LSAT is learnable and you must study to learn it. I used 7sage by myself for 15-25 hours per week for ~10 months. Because you will need to spend the late summer and fall preparing your essays and application forms, I suggest beginning to study in September of the…
…beat out my miserable GPA from undergrad and to master the LSAT so that I can overtake my GPA and prove that I have the dedication and motivation to succeed in law school. I also had some impressive work experience under my belt, I know what I want, and I know the kind of attorney I want to be coming out of law…
No optional essays or “Why X.” Used Khan Academy, LSAT SuperPrep II book, and YouTube to study and used my roommate to proofread my application. This is the amount of time and money I spent on the application process: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_ijUrAZkV0ceOdOf2divhDqkPZvFowRuTXJQgVntBDk/edit?usp=sharing
Overall, 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…
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…
Applications are expensive, but law schools are expensiver! Background: USC student getting a BA in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and an MA in Public Relations and Advertising by May ‘23. No GRE for the MA - it was part of a dual program offered by the university. Got the MA because I was hesitant about going…
Go for the higher LSAT score and give yourself plenty of time to study for and take it! Write as many optionals as possible and make the case for how you are unique to a school given your experiences, interests, etc. ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Wave
Very grateful for my cycle and results. I cannot recommend enough retaking the lsat even when you don’t want to, and studying differently if you weren’t thrilled with your initial results. If it is possible for you to work w someone 1:1, do it. LG was my biggest struggle (would’ve probably had a much easier time if…
LSAT - spend more time taking actual practice tests and studying with no distractions than reading advice on reddit or on here APPs - spend more time reflecting, rewriting, and talking to colleagues/mentors to make your PS authentic than reading advice and worrying same w recommenders - you know them, your…
…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…
…school I applied to other than 2 non-ranking schools. My LSAT at the time was a 150. That disappointing cycle motivated me to transform my frustration into motivation to score as high as I could before the start of the current cycle. My study regimen allowed me to score a 169 on the Aug 2023 LSAT. Below, you will…
…Rs were because of my C&F. Stats matter, work hard at the LSAT. I had a 168 diagnostic with most of my misses on LG and studied with 7sage for a total of 2 months and scored a 174, 180. My goal was to get into YLS(middle finger) hence the retake, but I think this could have led to some YP at some schools. Write good…
…save money!!! This is very expensive. Could have taken the LSAT in August. Felt super pressured to take it in May and only got to study a few weeks for it. I didn’t get through the last game and wouldn’t be surprised if the questions I missed were all from the games section.
…as you do that the sky truly is the limit! Below are a few LSAT and application tips I found to be helpful: Tips for apps Ask for those app fee waivers!!!! Often they will just send you one if you ask, others have you fill out a quick app but this will save you so much money in the long run- Have a few people review…
