I am a First-generation American and have been working as a paralegal in Big Law since right after graduation. I applied as early as I could in the cycle, which I think helped.

SEVERELY better cycle compared to 2022-2023 for me (◕_◕). I did not retake the LSAT, just strengthened my application parts and applied in November instead of February.
Leave yourself enough time to retake the LSAT, do research before it’s time to send off applications, and don’t drop out of undergrad bc it really hurts your GPA later.
It’s hard to know what advice to give. Try hard on the LSAT, write thoughtful essays, apply to enough schools to have options. It’s never too late to change paths.
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
Applying earlier would have likely to my getting accepted instead of waitlisted for a number of these schools
Know yourself and shoot your shot(s).
my words of wisdom are to know what your goals are as best as you can. it will save you a lot of money and grief. negotiate and know your worth.
LSATDemon taught me everything I needed to now. I would it recommend to anyone preparing for the LSAT and law school admissions generally.
Only two things matter, LSAT and GPA. And GPA doesn’t really matter unless it’s 4.0+… Just study your heart out for the LSAT, trust.
If my results are confusing, I did not get my 173 until January 2022. Take the LSAT early and get your best score before applying!
Apply early, do the supplemental essays and don’t let Reddit get into your head!
A 167 is not what it used to be XD. If you are reading this, I wish you luck in your application process!
If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?
Applied around February. all is vanity and frustration, and there is no profit under the sun
Get off this website
