Spend more time studying for the LSAT than you think. As long as you are still learning, you should still be studying. Take good care of yourself and take as much time off as you need between undergrad and law school.

Admitted to St. John's UniversityJust about anyone can get into law school if they put their mind to it. Setting a target LSAT score and sticking to a strict study regimen is what worked for me, even if this seems rather obvious and sounds redundant.
Don’t pay for law school! Apply to a wide variety of schools and take the offer that maximizes job outcomes and minimizes debt. Good luck!
Take the LSAT 2-3 times until you score at or above your LSAT PT average. Give yourself 5+ months to study for the LSAT as well! Apply in September if you can, and definitely before Thanksgiving.
I have a low GPA but I have a clear upward trajectory and large gap between the bad semesters and the good ones for anyone wondering. I only took the LSAT one time, probably not a big factor.
Don’t overthink things, cross your t’s and dot you i’s, and most importantly be patient and relax (as much as you can), it is going to be okay, even if you don’t get into your dream school.

Focus on your LSAT, it’s the only reason I could afford to go to law school. Do your research on different schools and don’t spend too much time on here. You can do it!

Don’t tell anyone why you really want to go to law school… it sounds pretentious. If anyone asks, tell them you thought it was a really sexy thing to do.
Shooting my shot because why not? I got some fee waivers so I applied to schools I wouldn’t have otherwise. Expecting rejections but hoping for the best.

The waiting game is tough. You will get through it. Even if you do not get into your first choice, whatever happens happens. It will be for the best.
Honestly, I have to say one thing if there wasn’t a max at $400,000 on the scholarships amount that I am able to input, they would be higher.
If you’re reading this and yk who I am, keep it cool, but you see these stats I know you admiring…** **¯(ツ)/¯ I’m like that!!! -TD3
