…go test optional in the near future, I’m anticipating the LSAT will still be vital for most law schools. Take the exam seriously! A dedicated 3-4 months of studying will pay dividends in the future. - But don’t take the exam too seriously that it impacts your self-worth. Your value as a human being has nothing to do…

Admitted to Washington University in St. Louis…the narrative you craft can indeed compensate for a lower LSAT or GPA. I did not redact my LSAT at WashU. I did not write an LSAT addendum. I took the test twice back to back and got basically the same score twice even though I was PT’ing much higher. I studied for 7 months before I took the test the first time and…
…the most important parts of your application: Get the best LSAT you can. Your highest score is the only one that matters. I had a 161 and a 176 (don’t call it a come back). I studied one hour a day for 10 months. Do it every day. If you are in undergrad, maintain a 4.00. That is your highest priority. Make your…
LSAT: june ’21 164 –> august ‘21 170 thanks to just khan academy, mike kim’s LSAT trainer, and grinding PTs. my PT average was like a 165 so i truly got lucky on my second take. probably could have taken more time + money to study and squeezed out a few more points, but i was more than happy with a 170 and wanted to…
Because of my GPA, I scared myself into believing I had to achieve a perfect LSAT score and delayed testing for almost 4 years. The forums and the chat can be useful, but they can also be harmful. Know your limit. If you start to doubt your worth, your chances, yourself.. UNPLUG. I did not pay for study programs or…
…certain that law school is the right path for you. I studied full-time for around 7 months and took the test twice before I got a 174 on my third attempt. Apply broadly and look at the lsd.law school data - be realistic about schools, especially in the T14, that have GPA floors. A 174 LSAT is the 75th percentile for…
LSAT Do not sign up for an official test if your PT scores are not consistently in your goal range. I made this mistake three times. Cold Diagnostic December 2022: 152 September 2023 LSAT 176 **GPA: I was six years removed from college when I decided to apply to law school, so there wasn’t much I could do in this…
…my application to make it a bit more informative: Took the LSAT as a Freshman for some reason, got very lucky and did not have to retake. Graduating a year early (Super KJD). Standard pre-law major and somewhat difficult course load (18-21 credits per semester). Attended a low-ranked, very small public University in…
