It’s super easy to obsess over status checkers, Reddit, and LSD (I’m guilty of it) but try to enjoy your life as well. You’re going to get into the right place for you! Congrats on even applying- that’s more than a lot of people ever do. Good luck and if you haven’t heard it today, I’m proud of you.

Admitted to New England Law | BostonFireFly left no wisdom for posterity… (◕︵◕) Going to Willamette in the fall! If you decide to apply to law school and have a decent chance of getting into a particular school, don’t apply early decision. If you do, you can’t leverage other scholarship offers for scholarship reconsideration.
I graduated with an MPA from a top university with a 3.86 in August 2020 where I also received a full-ride scholarship. This experience and my active volunteering and being an activist in the community have increased my chances of getting accepted into law school with a low LSAT Score.

outstanding stats: valedictorian graduated in 2 cycle updates: accepted into my top choice school on 3/6/2024 so glad to be done might post on r/lawschool reddit saying sayonara mfers Praise God - work hard - shoot your mfing shot and do not listen to reddit!!!!
Do NOT choose all of your undergrad classes/clubs/activities based on the goal of getting into law school – do what YOU love, do it well, and law schools will love you. (Although I do recommend trying mock trial, it’s super fun with the right team).
Make sure you have safety schools!!! Scholarships > Rankings
Whatever time you feel you need for the LSAT add 3 more month. Blind review is super important! Understand why the incorrect answers are wrong so you don’t fall for a similar trap later. Apply early for the best chance at your school.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m possible.
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.

Sometimes the obvious choice isn’t the best choice. Be confident in your decision and dreams and let it drive your future!
If your LSAT isn’t good, become a really good writer.
Study for your LSAT unlike me. And don’t look at r/lawschooladmissions because you’ll give yourself unnecessary stress and an unrealistic standard to compare yourself to. Comparison is the thief of joy. Goodluck <3
Don’t burn yourself out!- I definitely did. Adding all my application stats here to hopefully help future years ppl compare when applying to similar schools and/or with similar stats!
LSAT 155 GPA 3.74 2022–23 cycle
Admitted to American University
Not the greatest test taker ever, but was still able to get many acceptances. Life experience is important too – do well on the LSAT, but don’t forget about the rest of the picture.
Don’t settle for your first LSAT score!! I took the LSAT 3 times. I started volunteering at my local legal clinic. I knew my gpa wasn’t great and found ways to get my soft stronger.
