LSAT 165 Int'l GPA Above Average 2025–26 cycle
Admitted to Pennsylvania State - Dickinson Law
The only thing worse than getting into law school is not getting into law school
I guess I was a spicier than normal applicant. I retook an LSAT that scored significantly lower than my listed score that I cancelled mid application cycle, which may have impacted admissions. - I did all of the optional essays, had them peer reviewed by another friend who was applying, and checked and revised my…
Applied early in the cycle, wanted to give myself the best chances for admission/scholarships knowing that I have a mediocre LSAT score. I attended a small liberal arts university for undergrad, where I majored in Business Administration, and double-minored in pre-law and German. I was a four-year NCAA…
When trying to decide on a school, trust yourself. You’ve done the research. Don’t let strangers on the internet pressure you into life-altering debt or going to a school that just didn’t feel like the best fit. You got this! :)
I applied very late in the cycle due to issues with my transcripts, and I would not reccomend that to anyone. Though I am a splitter, I have strong reasons as to why my GPA is so low. My biggest piece of advice is to find your unique voice. Remember your GPA does not define you and you are so much more than the…
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind, until now, until now you’ve become the very thing you swore to destroy. Anakin Skywalker: Don’t lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to…
I thought my 160 was elite until I got on this damn website LOL Take your time with your personal statement and diversity statements. After reading both adcomms should be able to have a good idea of who you are as an individual in addition to why you want to be a lawyer. “Optional” essays arent optional if you…

142 (cold diagnostic)->151->160->154->157->162 Music Major and legal studies double major Lots of jobs in college, management experience at a major grocery chain. Other softs could be considered my degree, since I was playing lots of concerts as someone studying music. I think the musician route was compelling, but…
Non-traditional first-gen student just stumbling through this whole process. I regret not taking the LSAT again, but r&r isn’t really an option for me. My choice is ultimately coming down to Iowa, UConn, and PSU - Dickinson depending on scholarship offers. Committed and deposited at Dickinson on 3/24 Some general…
Don’t know if anyone wants to learn from me, but: -Have a compelling, specific, reason to go to law school and articulate it clearly. I specified in my PS why I need a JD to accomplish my professional goals. Sounds obvious, but it’s easier said than done, especially in a huge pool of bright, talented, passionate,…
I applied very early due to my low UG GPA and my median LSAT score. I made sure my application was ready and reviewed to submit on the first day of applications. I decided to write all the optional essays that they offered. My reasoning is that, the more you write about yourself, the more they will get to know you.…
