LSAT 163 GPA 3.85 2024–25 cycle
Attending University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign
Start studying for the LSAT early!! Do not compromise yourself by applying with a low score. I firmly believe with enough dedication everyone can test into the 160’s.
Applicant wisdom
Advice applicants left on their LSD.Law profiles, searchable by topic, school, and stats.
Apply early as possible. Sending a LOCI right before my decision at 2 schools may have been the difference between a WL and R. Tour campus before deciding
Case study on URM praying ’n spraying Lessons learned: “You’ll miss all the shots…” yadda yadda Be rich (preferably) Practice those Kiras Take your meds
The only thing worse than rejection is regret! applied pretty broadly since this is a weird cycle. Planned to go to Loyola, but getting into bama was such a dream.
Don’t pay for grad school!
Unsolicited increase from Baylor. Solicited increased from Pittsburgh. Negotiations rejected on all other attempts (Richmond, PSU Dickinson, Temple).
Apply to Iowa early because they have this fun thing called a scholarship waitlist, barely anyone who applied past December got money this cycle.
Tier 3: LGBTQ+, single working mother Tier 4: Non-combat enlisted military service, published author in fiction (Big Five publisher)
It’s cool to contain multitudes, but your application should tell one story If you ask, I’ll help you negotiate your scholarships
Low GPA because I dropped out of school. Returned to school last year and my GPA at the institution I will graduate from is 4.18.
LSAT 167 GPA 3.10 2020–21 cycle
Admitted to Illinois Institute of Technology (Kent)
STEM, unique softs, first gen, very low income background, LGBT+, although apparently none of that matters given my results 😅
Moving to a big city close to home (Missouri) was very important to me. Looking to do environmental law in the Chicago area
Shoot ur shot and don’t be afraid to tell ur story. Whatever is meant to be will be.
go on tours if you are within a day’s drive of a school. a vibe check was more important than I thought it would be
All decisions other than Northeastern were rendered when my LSAT was a 157. Increased score with February test
Though I have a 3.95 GPA, it won’t be reported to LSAC due to me not meeting the minimum number of credits.
Don’t get too caught up in statistics! Remember that you have a story to tell and it deserves to be heard.
Apply early if you can, but also just apply! Just do it! You never know the answer unless you try!
