LSAT 174 GPA 2.41 2022–23 cycle
Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles
Take the LSAT seriously. Started with 152 diagnostic. 169 on the first official. 174 on the second official. Wrote a PS about my work in the aerospace industry and how it connects back to law school. Hired one of the law school admissions consulting services.
Apply early and know your career goals. Don’t get sucked into the hype and drama of trying to attend T1 schools for a prestigious piece of paper when you can be successful (and not in debt) a Good school. Work hard. Study hard. Just do your best.
Wrote a DS + 1 Optional for every school plus an additional Why X for Duke & Emory Except for ASUIn the end I chose Michigan because it was a better fit for me, I enjoyed their ASW and the scholarship made it enough for me to attend 😇
I highkey sold my trauma, I’d recommend it (Black, queer, nonbinary, trans fam wya?) On a serious note, my story is definitely what sold me to my reach and match schools, if anything. Don’t be scared to show your passion!
Apply early and ensure you write a strong personal statement and addendums. Give yourself the best opportunity. Be patient to wait and reapply the next year if it’s somewhere you truly want to go.
If you change your mind, I’m the first in line Honey I’m still free Take a chance on me If you need me, let me know, gonna be around If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down
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.
Went UR3 at University of Pennsylvania on 1/27: for those looking for UR3 data results. NYU HTE in January UVA Interview Invite: did not go UR2 before interview
If I can do it, so can you. I thought I wasnt going to get in anywhere with my stats. Still waiting on several more schools but super blessed.
If T-14 is out of reach, focus on schools where you’re above LSAT and GPA medians. Even better if you’re in the 75th percentile
just apply! I’m on like UR4 for UF UGA hasn’t even looked at me since November lol,_____ and now has placed me on hold :/
12/06/2022: accepted by my #1 choice school 08/15/2024: V50 SA offer (market) always bet on yourself & apply early
