Dont believe anyone who says the lsat can be studied for enough. It matters more than anything else, especially if the say they use a holistic approach to admissions.

Study for the LSAT as soon as possible. If Your PT’s are not going up, seek a tutor. Pick an undergrad major you are skilled in, in order to keep your GPA as high as possible. Take multiple classes with professors in order to secure LORs from them (Obviously, professors with legal experience make the best letters).
I studied for the LSAT for about 3.5 months using 7sage. My softs and essays were more business oriented which I think aligned with Penn and Columbia. I helped found a start up. Harvard, Duke, and NYU are more advocacy and community focused which is why I think my profile did not align as with these schools. I have…

Don’t take your first official LSAT without properly studying. (I did this and I regret it) It’s ok to take a gap year if you can. (I did this and I’m glad I did) Avoid debt like your life depends on it! (I plan to do this but #1 is hindering me) In hindsight I definitely should have applied to more target schools…
Don’t be desperate and shoot for the stars. ABA reports are bible. Some schools are just not a good fit, and unexpected wins will come! Use the loophole to study for the lsat.
