Get your LSAT score up. Adcomm’s don’t view lower STEM GPA’s as favorably as you think. Applying early doesn’t do much for you. Spivey misses often. Be nice to others and practice good skin care.

Admitted to University of California (Hastings)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.

shits rough now with all these new applicants each year schools that were more mid-range before are tougher now so generally prepare for that study hard and have faith in yourself
Your worth extends far beyond this process, don’t let it drag you under. Wherever you end up going - you’ll make it work. YEEHEE, GOOD JOB APPLICANT, YOU’RE DOING GOOD, KEEP GOING
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.
Applying to law school in your mid 30s with a sub-3 GPA is incredibly lame. Don’t be like me and have a 15 year-old GPA negatively impact your future.
I wasted way too much time getting caught up in the rankings, find the place that makes you feel excited to become a better and more educated version of yourself.

Take a few years, get a job, save up money. That way you can donate a building to your top choice. LSAT: 160 (4/21) -> 162 (6/21) -> 162 (10/21) -> 169 (1/22)

Shoot your shot. My top schools were Michigan, Berkeley, UCLA, and USC… Thankful that someone saw my potential. Please know you are more than #s.

Good luck with your applications :)
Applied with a 165, heard back from UC Law SF, WashU, Michigan, UCLA, and GULC before getting a 168 on the January LSAT (score release on 2/5).
No one knows anything about admissions - take all advice with a grain of salt. Take your time to get a good LSAT if you can’t fix your GPA.
