Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex (considered retaking, as I would like to minimize debt - however, I told myself that I would be satisfied with a 170+ before going into the test and felt that I should maintain that perspective. My PT average over the 12 or so tests that I took leading up to the January administration was a 171,…

…GPA and LSAT (though I only took it once because I felt retaking a 173 would send a negative signal to all schools except HYS) Advice/Factors that didn’t hurt: Apply as early as possible Write the “why x” statements Tell a story in your personal statement that just so happens to reveal a coherent narrative about…

…were more I could offer. It’s just been A LOT. Update: Retaking LSAT for second time this upcoming November.
I took the LSAT cold without studying and applied without retaking it. Don’t be like me.
…the study process by the end. Also, don’t be afraid to retake LSAT- . I was so close to just applying with a lower score for the sake of getting my apps in early. Thankfully, I didn’t. If you know you are capable of a much better score than you received on the first go, roll the dice and take it again. This was the…

…paralegal studies and got my bachelors online after) not retaking the lsat bc honestly i’m exhausted (unless i get rejected everywhere)
Retake the LSAT if you need to - don’t be afraid to reapply while gaining work exp. ⭐️‼️
My advice is threefold: Retake the test: a few more points could make the difference between a waitlist and an admission, or a scholarship over sticker price. Keep your expectations low: This is a long, slow process full of high and low points. Try not to go crazy. Decisions will come. It’s just going to take…
….3 lower when calculated by CAS. This meant I had to retake some difficult classes senior year, but I managed to raise my gpa by the time I graduated!
…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 alma mater, which I expected. This cycle clearly cared way more about essays and work experience than I…
…166 regularly. In another world, I would keep studying and retake to reflect my PT potential. I went from a diagnostic of 154 to 166 in about 2 months of consistent studying with 7Sage, Khan Academy and a private tutor. I was putting in about 5-10 hours a week studying and PTing. I also worked full time and…
…159-168 Aug LSAT 159 -> Sep LSAT 165 (highly recommend retaking if you have test anxiety like me!) LORS: 1 from college professor and 1 from current work supervisor (attorney)- Request these far in advance, as I didn’t receive one letter until October which delayed applications Interviews: Virtual submissions for…
…you’re going to blow it (I certainly did). Sign up for a retake and learn from your first test. I took the test four times before I hit my goal score.
Be honest and genuine in your essays. Make time to retake the LSAT at least once. Cast a wide net.

…see how it would go, always knowing that I might have to retake and reapply. But, I’m so shocked at how my cycle has gone so far!! I put a lot of effort and intention into my PS.
