LSAT 170 GPA 3.88 2023–24 cycle

Consider retaking the LSAT and reapplying next cycle if you’re not happy with your results this time around. That’s what I did, and it’s worked out splendidly. :)

…aim higher than a 170. I would advise future applicants to retake 170s for that reason.

…I wasn’t entirely happy with my app and was planning on retaking the LSAT in the spring and (hopefully) reapplying next cycle with a 170+. Although I would attribute some of my success this cycle to luck, I do think I was pretty strategic in maximizing my outcomes. For those that want it, here’s my advice for future…

…got too lazy to continue studying for my scheduled October retake because I started working full time and cancelled last minute. It’s in the past now, but I wonder if I could have gotten a couple points extra if I studied a bit harder/longer to get me at or above some of the other T14 medians besides Duke and…

…you’re PT’ing at your target score.- Don’t be afraid to retake 16highs-17lows. Every point matters. I’m about 90% sure I wouldn’t have gotten into UT if I had called it quits at 168. If you’re still in college do your absolute best to earn all A’s. If you’re a KJD and can tolerate it, consider working for a year or…

Submit them when they are good and ready, but do try to submit them before January, if you can. Even if you apply in September, you may not…

Just stay focused, take an LSAT prep course, take the LSAT as early as possible, and go for a retake if you’re close to your goal. If you take enough practice tests, you’re going to know in advance what you’re likely to score. I was within 1 point of my average after taking about 12 or 13 practice tests.

…and taken it early in the summer. That way you can retake it in late summer/early fall if necessary, and still apply relatively early in the cycle. I would also start jotting ideas down for your PS as early as possible. my uGPA was low from first-year STEM courses, but I had a strong upwards trend. if you are…

Michigan was my first acceptance and I was content to go there, especially with the scholarship. The only thing that could have changed my mind was Harvard, as I knew I’d get aid, or a better offer from…

…a decent shot at the T14. If you’re not there, consider retaking (NOTE: This advice applies to the 2021-2023 cycles and may change in the future). If you are a splitter, apply early and broadly. Make sure you write all of the optional essays. A cohesive ‘Why Law’ narrative is critical in your written materials if…

Leave yourself enough time to retake the LSAT, do research before it’s time to send off applications, and don’t drop out of undergrad bc it really hurts your GPA later.

In other words, why would you go through this process over and over again when its possible you’ll get the same decision. If your school choice means that much to…
