LSAT 166 GPA 3.89 2022–23 cycle

Attending Georgetown University

…allowed me to have a somewhat successful cycle. Helpful LSAT Resources; Sure, I didn’t make a 170+ but I decided that I couldn’t sacrifice my mental health more than I already had…. I also don’t feel like its necessary to pay thousands of dollars for a course but it totally depends on how disciplined you can be with…

LSAT 171 GPA 3.50 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of California—Los Angeles

I ended up getting into my dream school, so my cycle ended up perfect for my goals. I could’ve done much better though had I retaken the LSAT. That would be my one regret from this cycle. My diagnostic was a 167 and I barely studied for my 171. (Well, and not taking undergrad grades seriously ). But hey, it all…

LSAT 176 GPA 4.00 2025–26 cycle

Attending Harvard University

…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).

LSAT 171 GPA 3.33 2023–24 cycle

Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles

If you have a low GPA and want to get into a reach school, give the LSAT everything you have, even if you have to take it 3+ times. I think I left a few points on the table because I didn’t study as long as I should have, so don’t do that. Put a lot of effort into addendums (if you have a valid reason). Schools are…

Attending University of Pennsylvania

…numbers truly are the most important thing, and without my LSAT score, I would have never stood a chance with my GPA. For the LSAT, I wish I could properly give helpful advice, but honestly I was very fortunate: due to Covid, I lost my job, but was lucky enough to have a home with my parents where, besides buying my…

Attending University of Texas at Austin

This is going to be long, but I have lots of wisdom to share that I wish I knew before! LSAT Prioritize the LSAT! It’s a difficult exam, but also very learnable. Every minute and penny you invest will save you thousands in tuition, so I was happy with my decision to pay for a few hours of tutoring. Even if this…

LSAT 180 GPA 3.85 2020–21 cycle

Attending Harvard University

LSAT: Took it twice (both Flex): 171 (August) -> 180 (November). Used a combination of PowerScore Bible trilogy and 7Sage for PTing/blind reviewing/videos. I think that overstudying and burnout is definitely a thing – I took 6-7 weeks off and barely studied between my first and second take, and I think that actually…

Take as much time as you need for the LSAT, start very early or reapply if you can/need to, and have faith in yourself!
