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 173 GPA 3.10 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.

LSAT 165 GPA 3.54 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to Vanderbilt University

Wrote a diversity statement (that was unrelated to being an URM), “why x” for Michigan and Berk, interviewed with WashU, and did optional essays whenever available.

LSAT 154 GPA 3.97 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Alabama

The only thing worse than rejection is regret! applied pretty broadly since this is a weird cycle. Planned to go to Loyola, but getting into bama was such a dream.

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 171 GPA 4.00 2022–23 cycle

Attending Harvard University

Do not stress for the first two to three months after you submit applications. You cannot tell how things are going to go; don’t bother thinking about them.

LSAT 176 GPA 3.95 2022–23 cycle

Attending Cornell University

Don’t wait until January to apply to schools! I am purely a stats-based applicant. My cycle would turn out better if I wasn’t 20 and had work experience.

LSAT 169 GPA 3.30 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Georgia

Put your trust in God, and all will be revealed. Also, don’t be this guy, please: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/y2bz46/be_honest_with_me_guys/
