YOU GOT THIS BABES!! <3 Wrote all of the supplement essays that I could. Made sure to also include test score addenda but only briefly gave reason to lower score. Used addenda instead to highlight accomplishments and how those offset low score. Undergraduate published thesis work -Overly involved in ECs (Mock Trial,…

Study hard for the LSAT. If possible, reach out to your university’s writing center - they can be quite helpful.
The only advice I have to remain strong. Even without the anxiety and unpredictability of the law school admissions cycle, this has been an incredibly rough year. At the end of 2020 and the start of 2021, with its prolonged periods of silence from admissions, I was wracked by insecurities and self-doubt. However,…
American Dad is actually a really good show!
I came into the cycle continuously hearing that February was too late to apply and that this cycle was ultra-competitive. But what I’ll say is that if this is when you want to go to law school, then go for it. I constantly worried that my stats weren’t good enough and my softs didn’t count for much, but I now…
880 Jd-next score.- 99 percentile. Academic probation while in undergrad. First generation HS and college graduate. 6 years public service.
As a re-applicant who got into 0 schools last cycle with a 15(high) LSAT - can confidently say majority of schools who claim a “holistic review” are full of shit. Schools only care about LSAT/GPA and raising their own medians. I was way too naive about this during my first cycle. If you have the time/ability to take…

Submitted GRE-only to Harvard and LSAT-only to Fordham, Yale, and Michigan (per their policies). Everywhere else received both tests. Applied with a 166 from Jan test. Edit: sent my GRE to Fordham as a supplement 4/24 after admissions said they’d take it. Also sent them a LOCI 4/10 4/30: April LSAT came back as a…
Don’t apply in February and March like I did. I realized how much of a difference applying early makes AFTER I submitted apps to four schools. Probably just going to retake LSAT and reapply this fall, assuming no acceptances this cycle. Edit: just kidding I got into my top choice, and I was only rejected from my…
My advice would be apply for all the optional scholarships, and write every optional essay. This was a tough cycle, but I think my strong written materials were my biggest asset. I believe this set me apart from other candidates with similar stats, both in admissions and later in the scholarship process. I chose SMU…
LSAT 154 GPA 4.04 2023–24 cycle
Attending Washington University in St. Louis
I’m no spectacular applicant, but here are a few things that I believed helped me: Prioritize you GPA!- Use RateMyProfessor (with caution) and take a look at a class’ grade distribution before joining. Invest quality time in your written materials by creating multiple drafts, looking at examples, and having someone…
I will add my advice here once my cycle is done. Currently trying my best to get into my dream school with a nice scholarship. Wish me luck!

If you have a low GPA and want to get into a reach school, give the LSAT everything you have, even if you have to take it 3+ times. I think I left a few points on the table because I didn’t study as long as I should have, so don’t do that. Put a lot of effort into addendums (if you have a valid reason). Schools are…
Enjoy your life while you wait to hear back. I didn’t get into Georgetown until 7 days before classes started. If you have similar numbers to me, enjoy your life while you wait because it might not come until August. Do what makes you happy. Ask all the girls out, lift all the weights, and sit in the sun.
LSAT 159 GPA 2.43 2022–23 cycle
Attending Case Western Reserve University
If your GPA is like mine shoot for a 160. I did not want to take the LSAT again. I liked 7sage for LSAT prep. Dont worry about time limits until you understand most types of LR and LG question / game types. RC just read carefully and pretend it is an interesting reading passage . I studied full-time while working…
