LSAT 172 GPA 3.83 2023–24 cycle

I applied to some schools in the 2022-23 cycle as a KJD with the same LSAT and GPA. I was still admitted to UCLA, but was put in the “special group” on the preferred waiting list at GULC, and rejected at Berkeley, Harvard, and UChicago. I didn’t apply for a merit scholarship at Duke after it became clear to me that…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Don’t apply KJD, kids, and especially don’t apply as an early graduate. Just take a year and get some work experience; don’t put yourself through this twice.

For KJD+1s - I did medical scribing for my gap year and while I think it was good interview fodder, I actually wish I would have taken my job hunt more seriously senior year and gotten a super cool job that I was proud to incorporate into my resume/essays.

…better off waiting a few years with WE than applying as a KJD, especially when there are negative aspects in you application (Low GPA or C&F). Show growth and maturity rather than say it in you application.

…study, I’d have broken into the 170’s on exam day. Being a KJD and studying for the LSAT is not fun and it always felt like class assignments and exams took up all the extra time I had set aside to study. If I could do it all over again, I would have either started studying earlier or taken a gap year after I…

…rec letters are a good idea! I included 2 as a KJD, and it has gone pretty well. Things I wish I knew: NEVER count yourself out! I thought about applying to Knight-Hennessy early on, and then thought I didn’t have a shot/that it was too much work. Regretting that now haha, I may have had a chance!- High-stat KJDs…

…college do your absolute best to earn all A’s. If you’re a KJD and can tolerate it, consider working for a year or two before applying. People with a couple years of professional WE tend to significantly outperform KJDs. Write at least one optional essay for every school. I didn’t do this because I felt like I…

Hard work and a cohesive narrative help a lot. I spent approximately 1 year (mixed levels of intensity) studying for the LSAT and went from 152 to 171. I’m a KJD, but I’ve had several unusual internships. I’m also an engineering major in a genuinely unique program. Experiences in this program have shaped my…
