LSAT 165 GPA 3.52 2021–22 cycle

Attending American University

I recommend studying at least 6 months for the LSAT, and like, really studying. If I could do it over, I would have studied all winter/spring and taken it early in the summer. That way you can retake it in late summer/early fall if necessary, and still apply relatively early in the cycle. I would also start jotting…

Study for the LSAT as much as you can, even though it’s expensive. The $1,000-$2,000 cost of tutoring may save you tens of thousands of dollars in debt as a law student even at great law schools.

Attending University of Texas at Austin

…experience after college, thinking I could reach my goal LSAT (170) in a year while working in a high-stress, full-time job. I was very, VERY wrong.

take the lsat in college. people will tell you that you’ll have more time once you’re done with school — you won’t. you’ll have more responsibilities, and you’re unlikely to have the study habits or structure in place to hit the score you want. try to keep extracurriculars on your plate. apply for programs, work on…
