LSAT 157 GPA 3.92 2022–23 cycle

Admitted to University of Utah

Make your grade point average as high as you can. Take the LSAT at least two times. The LSAT takes work, but you can get better. Get people to proofread your personal statements.

LSAT 175 GPA 3.58 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of California—Los Angeles

Start seriously thinking about law school a lot earlier than I did. I got lucky I got into the school I really wanted to go to, but barely missed it because I applied in January.

LSAT 169 GPA 3.91 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to Duke University

There are more important things in life than the law school admissions process. Remember to appreciate how far you’ve come and the people who have supported you along the way. 💖

LSAT 166 GPA 3.48 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Iowa

I am a First-generation American and have been working as a paralegal in Big Law since right after graduation. I applied as early as I could in the cycle, which I think helped.

LSAT 167 GPA 3.78 2022–23 cycle

Attending Emory University

My two cents: Apply far and wide if you can afford to do so. I had several surprises in my application results and was grateful that I applied to many schools.

LSAT 172 GPA 3.72 2022–23 cycle

Attending Vanderbilt University

Reapplicant: https://www.lsd.law/users/creep/PierPissolini I didn’t really boost my chances between cycles. Applied mid-Feb to late-March.
