¶Don’t underestimate how long it will take to finish applying, especially if you are tailoring each application to the school. ¶Take a step back sometimes and remind yourself why you are working toward going to law school, in the thick of studying and applying it will be easy to forget.

Admitted to University of South Carolina༼つ ◕◕༽つ G I V E⭐A⭐W A V E ༼つ ◕◕༽つ Disappointing cycle, however I have full confidence in my choice after visiting. In hindsight, I recommend retaking LSAT until you score the highest you can. Keep your GPA as high as you can in college. and remember- comparison is the thief of joy
I did not have a good excuse for my low GPA so I did not write an addendum. You can read all the advice in the world; nothing is going to stop this from being a very stressful process for you. Don’t let that affect your relationships with the people who love you.
APPLY TO LAW SCHOOL. Don’t let anyone discourage you. Go to the best school that gives you the most money!!!!!!! I will only be including the day sent and when I received a decision date because law schools will take years to get back to you with a decision.
Shoot your shot! Don’t tell yourself no before someone else can.
Just give your best. That is all anyone can ask you for.
I changed majors my junior year from physics to international relations at which point my gpa average for the next two years was 3.86. Have a masters degree from University of South Carolina with full ride and fellowship 4.0.
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.
Good luck don’t suck ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡ Work hard! I don’t really study at all beyond preparing for tests. My scores show it but because I have a more difficult major and research experience I think it gave me a bit of an edge.

LSAT 161 GPA 3.94 2025–26 cycle
Admitted to Pennsylvania State - Dickinson Law
at the end of the day, it’s night
162 og lsat then 168 update in Feb. Take the LSAT so so so very seriously, it was my biggest limiting factor.
Never quit. I’m a 51 yo retired Army Sergeant Major and law student from a family of HS grads and dropouts who never looked beyond everyone’s expectations…
Never be the one to tell yourself no. You’re not rejected until you’re rejected. DO NOT ATTACH YOUR SELF WORTH TO THESE DECISIONS. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH.
Taking a year off and working may have helped with admissions instead of coming in as a KJD.
You are more than your LSAT score. A school can’t chance you if you don`t apply, so take a chance on yourself and apply to the school!
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.
Idk how they did the face but it looks cool. Don’t get behind on LSAT studying, study more than you think you should (◕︵◕)
