Things I learned: Additional essays probably help. I didn’t write anything besides my resume and personal statement. - Studying for the LSAT for a month isn’t enough to get full potential, take it before November and start studying earlier Submit applications early or you are at a disadvantage when applying (do it…

Admitted to Arizona State University…(NYU/UCLA), I did not get in. I only attended two Admitted Student Weekends. I let my parents talk me out of attending ASWs for schools that weren’t at the top of my list, which I regret. Part of why I chose Northwestern over Vanderbilt was that I felt very different vibes from these weekends, and though I enjoyed…
…Just with the law school admissions process, you’ve had to study for and take the LSAT, finish an undergraduate education, do internships, work to support yourself during the process, and write a whole bunch of essays. Make sure to remember that all the ad comms and all the other applicants are all people too.…
…independently covered my CAS fee are: **Texas A&M, ASU LSAT Studied for around 9 months. 154 diagnostic, 169 first, 172 second. A wrong answer journal changed the study game for me. LORS 2 academic- 1 professional One additional academic/professional sent to a few WL options. REQUIRED ESSAYS + OPTIONALS ** For my…
…those six months were filled with a ridiculous amount of LSAT studying and application writing. At the time I felt honored and I am still honored today to be able to say that I was selected as a part of YLS’s class of 2026, paid for by the Funded Law Education Program. This was and still is truly unbelievable having…
TIPS: (I’m obviously not an admissions officer, so take these with a grain of salt; this is just what I felt helped me) When studying for the LSAT, don’t be afraid to take breaks! Especially if you’re studying a lot during a short period of time (e.g., 3-4 months of consecutive studying instead of 1 year of on and…
…the beginning and so thankful it worked out. Preparation Studied for the LSAT on and off for two years, taking it twice post-LG removal. Worked on my personal statement for a year and requested LORs the spring before applying. Attended LSAC Forums (virtual one cycle early, in-person during my cycle), which helped…
…gotten the best UGPA you can, THEN start focusing on LSAT. I highly recommend LSATDemon for all your studying needs. I truly think they are the clear winners for title of best LSAT study program. I only used them for a couple months and increased my LSAT score by 10 points. I only wish I had used them from the…
Start studying for the LSAT early and get books to study with. I highly recommend The Loophole in Logical Reasoning (Book by Ellen Cassidy) and Powerscore’s Logic Games Bible! The Ellen Cassidy book changed everything for me and had I started studying with both books way earlier, I would have certainly scored well…
…senior editor / lead designer, 1 year as editor in chief), student in Honors college, published author, presented at an honors capstone conference. Self studied for the LSAT over the course of quarantine–about 2 hours per day, 5 days a week. Used Powerscore LG Bible and LR Bible, Khan Academy, LawHub practice tests,…
…I’m incredibly pleased with my cycle. When I first started studying for the LSAT, I was convinced few schools, particularly those near the top of the rankings, would be interested in a 40-year old with several significant health challenges, so I applied broadly. I studied for about a year, and took the LSAT twice to…
I started this process in February of 2020. I studied for the LSAT for about 6 months (about 2 months of serious study and 4 months of occasionally taking a PT) and went from a 156 to a 167 using only 7sage PTs and free stuff from Khan Academy. It has been a long time coming, but I am glad I did things the way I…
Link to Reddit cycle recap with written application materials included:*** ***https://bit.ly/3HvUUqH **Numbers: 3.89/172 ** (Took the LSAT four times: April 2021: Cancel, October 2021: 162, November 2021: 164, June 2022: 172). I studied for the LSAT for over two years. Making the decision to delay a cycle and keep…
Military paralegal with 10 years’ service, first degree GPA of 2.4 from 2012 and second degree GPA of 3.8 from 2022. I took the LSAT in 2009 and received a score of 159, and after a year of study while working, I took it again in 2021 with a score of 168. I genuinely feel that if I had continued my LSAT studies, I…
I got into Georgetown and was offered full tuition at a few schools with a terrible GPA and decent LSAT. I also had to disclose a misdemeanor, academic warning, and two gaps in my undergraduate degree to almost every school I applied to. My essays and addenda were polished, and I got positive feedback on them from…
I studied using exclusively LSAT Demon and JurisPrep (one more for the software, the other for an LSAT class). These and getting as much feedback as possible on how you present yourself to schools is what matters!
…should invest as much time as you can in achieving a high LSAT score (novel idea, I know). Seriously though, it’s always hard to talk about improving GPA and other softs, as everyone’s circumstances are different. But LSAT studying is something that I think everyone should really try to carve out at least a solid…
Notes: Do everything, (Keep good grades, study LSAT, join clubs, and get internships). I wish I kept my grades up, but having these other EC’s, helps tremendously- Try Teach For America Ignite if you don’t want to commit to a 2 year TFA contract. I have now taught/tutored in San Antonio, Texas and Tulsa, Oklahoma…
