LSAT 170 GPA 2.99 2025–26 cycle

Attending George Washington University

Used LSAT Demon to study for the LSAT and got my score up +7 points from my diagnostic in 3 months of daily studying, would definitely recommend. After taking the LSAT, 7Sage’s admissions consulting services were also super helpful, I would recommend getting a good start on your application documents first and then…

LSAT 151 GPA 3.17 2024–25 cycle

Last minute decision to finally pursue my dream career. Had been over a year since I had last studied for the LSAT, then registered with only a month to prepare: I had been consistently scoring in the 154-158 range - my LSAT score is an aberration. 09/19/2023 - I am retaking the October 2023 LSAT. I scored a 151 on…

LSAT 157 GPA 3.37 2022–23 cycle

Attending Louisiana State University

My advice for the future generations reading this is: don’t worry about anything; you’ll be fine! 3-28-23 Update: 147 OG score when applications were sent out in late March, then 157 on the June LSAT. I only notified four schools (from which I was previously denied) of my new score. I emailed LSU and Ole Miss, which…

LSAT 168 GPA 3.48 2020–21 cycle

Attending University of Florida (Levin)

Attended a T50 undergrad. Double major. Held many leadership roles in campus orgs and university wide. Some internship experience but limited comparatively. 2 years out of undergrad spent traveling, unemployed due to COVID, and then working remotely in marketing. Previously applied, so R&R. I was waitlisted at UVA,…

GPA 3.33 2025–26 cycle

Admitted to Belmont University

My advice: Write great essays that are specific to particular schools. Your application should have a theme. What you’ve done –> Why that influences your decision to pursue law –> How you’ll leverage your experience in your academic pursuits –> How you’ll contribute to the school community –> How the school, your…

LSAT 157 GPA 3.71 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to University of Oregon

T3/T4 softs. Not a lot of softs to speak of. Admittedly, law school has been a dream I only recently started taking seriously. I definitely wish I would have done some more extra curriculars during undergrad but oh well! Very interested in immigration law as I’ve spent a lot of time dealing with immigration stuff my…

LSAT 175 GPA 3.27 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Virginia

Cycle is over so full recap & thoughts here: in progress About me: -Graduated in 2020 with degree in biochemistry. -Resume was mix of premed and prelaw activities. -Was originally going to apply in 2020 cycle, but I didn’t want to deal with online classes and covid, so I decided to take a gap year(s). -Did not have…

LSAT 161 GPA 4.03 2021–22 cycle

Attending Washington University in St. Louis

Try to remove yourself from all of this. Your life, your friends, family, relationships, connection to the world is way more important than this. A point on the lsat, .1 GPA difference, all meaningless once you leave this small claustrophobic bubble. Applied in 2018 as senior in college 155 (cold), 4.0. WLed…

LSAT 176 GPA 3.84 2024–25 cycle

Attending New York University

Waitlists are real! I assumed they were glorified rejections and I was completely wrong. Treat them all seriously and continue to put your best self out there!

LSAT 161 GPA 4.00 2024–25 cycle

Attending Western New England University

I am a human Leatherman multi-tool: I can do a lot of things, yet I have mastered none. Law school to me is like jail- a situation where I will have no choice but to focus on one thing for 3 years. Please, do not fall into the trap that is the woman in the red dress/ shiny object syndrome, just because something is…

LSAT 169 GPA 3.54 2021–22 cycle

Attending Fordham University

Ask every school for fee waivers, apply early, and max out your LSAT and GPA. Your softs will not make you but they can break you, so make sure your personal statement, additional essays, and resume are coherent and typo-free. Other than that, you’re at the mercy of the admission cycle. Also, try not to constantly…

LSAT 175 GPA 3.74 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to Duke University

softs: undergrad hnrs major, master’s degree + int’l fellowship lots of on-campus leadership, ccn (lol) alum but don’t think it really mattered possibly cool internship experience(s), worked while doing apps (WE ~1 year) fairly strong personal statement (spent a LOT of time on it), avg supplementary essays, bad yale…

LSAT 172 GPA 2.89 2025–26 cycle

Attending George Mason University

If you’re in undergrad, focus 100% on GPA, because it is the only thing you cannot improve after the fact. LSAT can improve, it’s a skill. If you are in a rush to go straight into law school, ask yourself if you would skip a year for $100,000. If your answer is no, you are probably a rich kid funded by your rich…

LSAT 171 GPA 4.00 2024–25 cycle

Attending Northwestern University

Came across this quote on someone else’s profile, I liked it so I’ll leave it here: “After clicking submit on all your applications, get off this site and r/lawschooladmissions. Being neurotic about what will happen will not improve your chances once you’ve already done everything you can. You’ll be better served by…
