Admitted to St. John's UniversityApply broadly splitters and February is the latest I’d suggest applying. Pour your heart and soul into your writing but don’t be too negative or whiny. Vulnerability and candor go a long way into humanizing yourself as an applicant and will give you some more leeway with the empathetic side of adcomms. also, it…

Trans/nonbinary student, background in activism and nonprofits. Did really strongly in the first half of college, did somewhat poorly in the second half—ultimately won a couple of awards though. Took a year to heal (lol) and become more of a functioning adult. Strongly recommend taking a year+ if you feel the…
I’m glad I wore my heart on my sleeve. I wish I hadn’t panicked and doubted so much. I’m glad I retook the LSAT late in April - it led to my top choice acceptance. I wish I’d known “optional” certainly does not mean “optional”, thank you very much. Advice: be passionate but not obnoxious, and don’t compare yourself…
Don’t be shy to ask for fee waivers from all schools that have that option. Some schools have a form you can fill out for need/merit fee waivers and are very generous. Ask for your recommendations as early as possible, and try to give a due date of a few weeks to a month before you intend to submit to account for…
I studied using PowerScore books and 7Sage, and of course practice tests on LawHub!
I know there is not a lot of info on super low GPA high LSAT splitters so I am going to document my journey here. Background Info: I took the LSAT once in June of 2024 and scored a 164- I also have a Paralegal Certificate that I obtained after undergrad and got a 3.66. Currently a legal secretary for the state for 2…
Life didn’t end when I got a 126 on my diagnostic and a 146 on my first LSAT
༼つ ◕◕༽つ G I V E⭐A⭐W A V E ༼つ ◕◕༽つ Disappointing cycle, however I have full confidence in my choice after visiting. In hindsight, I recommend retaking LSAT until you score the highest you can. Keep your GPA as high as you can in college. and remember- comparison is the thief of joy
If they let you write Why X in your PS or in the application itself, write it out (or at least think it through) because it can help you figure out why you like the school other than ranking or employment rate. Don’t be scared, you will get into your dream school. I believe in you!
ask for letters of rec MONTHS in advance!! have back-ups ready as well if you can, i literally got completely ghosted by a professor and a dean after they agreed to letters. waiting up on these letters cost me about a month and a half because i couldn’t submit without them
You got this everyone! God will lead us all to where we need to be.
Use the 509 reports and the LSAC website data for school acceptance rates based on LSAT/GPA. I used LSAT Demon to study. Their scholarship estimator will give you important info about likelihood of scholarships based on your numbers. Apply early in the cycle. Good luck!
APPLY TO LAW SCHOOL. Don’t let anyone discourage you. Go to the best school that gives you the most money!!!!!!! I will only be including the day sent and when I received a decision date because law schools will take years to get back to you with a decision.
Don’t be deterred by not seeing your stats have admits to a school here. Not every applicant uses LSD. Use the LSAC Guide to Choosing Law Schools. The admissions data there gives a bigger picture than what you will glean here.
To shine like Joan of Arc, you must be prepared to burn
i have no idea i’ll let you know when i have decisions
