I submitted my application to SMU by the early decision deadline of November 15th. I heard back on November 19th that my application was rolled over to regular admissions.

Admitted to University of IowaSplitter who bombed their undergrad GPA. Computer Science Major might’ve helped me but if there’s one thing I’ve learned. It is that the LSAT was my saving grace (◕︵◕)
Don’t get caught up in how other people are studying for the LSAT! Stay focused on yourself and your own progress - trust the process!
There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night. And if you go, no one may follow. That path is for your steps alone. Robert Hunter
Don’t shoot for the highest ranked schools. Shoot for the schools where your stats are above the median. You’ll get scholarships and will have smaller debt.
Explore Quimbee for daily classes and Cubby Law for finals prep. They are worth the investment. You won’t regret it
Apply to Iowa early because they have this fun thing called a scholarship waitlist, barely anyone who applied past December got money this cycle.
Good luck with your applications :)
A lot of scholarship, location, and support system factors made Nebraska an easy decision for me and I love my interactions with Dean Moberly.
Double Major in the arts and political science at StateU. StudentGov, leadership positions, etc. + political internship(s). Major C/F issues
LSATDemon taught me everything I needed to now. I would it recommend to anyone preparing for the LSAT and law school admissions generally.
Never let your UG GPA hold you back. Apply broad, aim for the 75th LSAT median and you’ll be successful. Good luck to all super splitters!
Apply early if you can! I think I owe my acceptances to the fact that I applied in September before the giant wave of winter applicants.
Re-applicant from last cycle. Spent the whole spring and summer studying for the LSAT, took it in August, and improved from 161 to 168.
LSAT 170 GPA 3.92 2025–26 cycle
Attending University of Minnesota
ALWAYS bet on yourself!
apply, apply, apply! apply to as many as possible and crank up those statements :)))))
An explanation of cause is not a justification by reason. Take the LSAT earlier in the cycle than you think you need to.
Deferred from WashU to get some additional work experience and hopefully raise my scholarship through an LSAT retake.
