-8 years of work experience (waitress, legal assistant, office manager) -black female veteran -I took the LSAT twice (148 the first time and 153 the second.

LSAT 171 GPA 3.59 2020–21 cycle
I applied too late (mid Feb). I have zero business getting WLed at UConn. Will give it another try next cycle. Feel disrespected. Will retake LSAT for next cycle Biggest thing I’ve learned – take this process professionally. Withdrew from undergrad for a year because of severe personal issues. Near perfect grades…
Apply early if possible. I wish I had, so that my aid negotiation/deposit/withdrawal timeline wasn’t so fucked. At this rate, going to have to commit to NYU before I get Columbia offer, which could’ve been higher, or at least the same, which would let me more meaningfully consider the school. Look up the Kira…
Keep your GPA high. If your GPA is low, study hard for the LSAT. If your GPA & LSAT are low, build your resume to the moon. If all else fails, write the most influential and heart wrenching personal statement possible.
Live laugh love But for real advice: for the LSAT, when you study, go through missed answers, note what “type” of question it is, and try to understand the “why” - it helps to identify patterns and get better at the test Understand your “why” for law and build your narrative around that for your application,…
Believe in yourself!!! If you really want to make your dreams come true, work as hard as you can for them. Keep your goal in focus. Dreams don’t just have to be dreams with determination, hope, and a dash of good luck!
Canadian applicant with two degrees. I wanted to share some info with people about the possibilities despite having a poor gpa. First Degree 2.4/4.0 (Messed up pretty bad and this is my GPA that is reported) Second Degree 4.0/4.0 (Graduating Spring 2022) I kick myself every day for not taking school seriously but…
Hello! (◕︵◕) I’m going to try and document as much of my admission decisions as possible and leave some overall info once the cycle comes to a close! Definitely ballin a little high with most of the schools I chose to apply to but might as well try! Pitt: 1/29 First Acceptance! Got an email titled “Welcome to Pitt…
I have a lot of work experience. I have worked at a small sized personal injury law firm in central Washington for four years. I was also very successful there. My job was to negotiate cases and I settled thousands of cases for millions of dollars. My soft is that I grew up poor (homeless for many years). My mom was…
My unasked for advice to applicants: make sure your application materials are cohesive and show why law (I didn’t do that well), apply broadly (with waivers) even if you think you know what you want, don’t count yourself out and over apply to “safeties” Going in UW was my to choice with Seattle U and I was anxious…
If I could do it over I would apply to more T14s, even those I have no interest in, just to have more leverage in scholarship negotiations.
*** Off the UNH Waitlist, my top pick! I sent one formal LOCI, a handful of informal ones, two additional letters of recommendation, and increased my LSAT from 152 to 161 - all after being placed on the waitlist in January. *** R&R, previous year’s results are under ‘mayungiles’. Reapplying because the Army offered…
If you happen to come across this page, I just hope you know you’re going to have an amazing cycle! Biggest tips: LSAT: shoot for a score, not a test date. Take the lsat when you’re ready. If that means taking an extra gap year, so be it. You’ll appreciate it in the future. Highly recommend 7Sage + powerscore bibles…
