R&R’ing in 2024-2025. LSAT Score History: 165 - November 2023 169 - January 2024 175 - April 2024 Apply early. The January test date is borderline too late if you want an admit. I was already rejected to many of my schools by the time I posted a 175 in April. I emailed LOCIs with the updated score to the higher…
2024–25 cycle
I’ve been dreaming of applying to law school since I graduated with my bachelors degree in 2011. Family circumstances delayed my law school plans for a while. I finally applied in the 2020-21 cycle with 0 success. It broke me. There was some good that came from it: I made a few fellow LSData LinkedIn connections…
I’m doing well this challenging 2020-2021 COVID cycle, and I think my softs really helped me out. In March 2021, I will receive my PhD from a top-20 philosophy program, and my work has received recognition in print and via external grants. I received a full scholarship for my undergrad education at a top-40 national…
Never expected these results - I am beyond excited to attend YLS! A few notes: I believe a key to my success was my strong focus on a specific area of law (reflected in internships, extracurriculars, leadership roles, etc). I emphasized this focus in every writing component of the applications.- Submitted 2-3 LORs…
Study sooner for the LSAT and you’ll thank yourself later. Don’t worry about complicated study plans, just find a service where you can do real questions and get feedback to correct your mistakes and move on. (LSAT Demon was great for this, and they have a nice app to make studying on the go easy.) I cold tested a…
Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.
Yes, I had a low LSAT score. But I worked really hard in undergrad and made sure my resume and transcripts set me apart from the rest. I held 5 leadership positions on campus, competed in business competitions, had internships, networked, and did a ton of stuff. Biggest tips: Apply early, I waited too long. You have…
Applied w/ a 3.76. Went up to a 3.84 mid cycle. Cardozo twice (completely unprompted) increased scholarship 2X. Was initially offered 35,000 a year in my acceptance. In mid March, I was informed it had been increased to 40,000 a year, and then finally 2 weeks later I recieved another email telling me I was being…

Apply as early as possible! With exactly the same numbers, your profile is more powerful in September than it is in March.
Do NOT let anyone discourage you. You are smart and deserve to be where you are. Market yourself with what you have. Show interest into the school. If they have zooms or events try to attend, try to get your name out there. Getting waitlisted isn’t the end of the world. Make you LOCI strong by adding personal…

Bird law in this country – it’s not governed by reason.
applied and was shut out everywhere in the 2020-2021 hell cycle, so am reapplying this one! i rewrote all my essays and retook the lsat. it was super humbling, and it’s def been a season of growth and re-examination for me. at the end of the day, law school is a means to an end, and the data and stats only tell us…
Give yourself WAY more time than you think you need to study for the LSAT. I’d recommend giving yourself no less than 1 year to study. You may be very smart, but you just don’t know whether the test will feel intuitive to you, whether you will plateau, whether you will burn out, etc. And DO NOT TAKE THE OFFICIAL…
Give yourself time to study for the LSAT and use that time wisely. Don’t get lost in trying to find the best prep course. Indecision is more costly than wrong decision. Spend time drilling then drill some more - that’s how you learn. Think your life is boring and there’s nothing to write about? Wrong. There is only…
