A few thoughts on waitlists, “your chances,” R&R, the LSAT, and advice in general: Never give up on waitlists, especially ones that are known to have good movement (like in my case with HLS). A strong, school-specific Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI) can go a long way. Do not send the same LOCI to every school,…

Admitted to Boston CollegeI went into this blind. It was suggested by my parent in October 2020 that I try the LSAT and become a lawyer. I signed up and studied for about 10 hours and took the November LSAT. I don’t have a strong reason for being a lawyer other than I think it will be interesting (I’ve been exposed after doing a prelaw camp…
…while working full time (40+ hour weeks), id spend a year studying for lsat, and then the next year, visit schools and write essays and apply that cycle very much sure of which schools I wanted and why. I think if I’d not let myself be pressured by others or my own expectations as far as timeline, if I could do it…
If you’re here to figure out how I got into Harvard…join the club. But I’ve got some guesses, hopefully they’ll help you. LSAT: diagnostic 161, studied 10 weeks 25 hrs/wk. I only used some old PowerScore books and the law hub practice tests. If you can’t afford the $2k courses, consider something like this (I spent…
Apply early in the cycle if you can. Do the optional essays (nothing is really ‘optional’) Study for the LSAT for at least 3 months (take breaks, don’t burn out) PROOF READ Everything happens for a reason :)
Study for the LSAT, it’s worth it Tell a cohesive story in your essays
Your story matters. Get a higher LSAT than me. Start studying earlier than me. You know what you have to do.
I was an R&R after getting shut out by 10+ schools the year prior. Studied hard and boosted by LSAT by 10 points. Still a tough cycle! But it’s possible.
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
…not just the freshman attitude “I dont wanna be a snitch”. LSAT: A huge limiting factor to my application. Study hard with purpose. It teaches you the interworkings of how to think for law school. Don’t see it as a chore, but also do not let it eat you and take away your entire life. Once it starts hurting your core…

Took LSAT in college when I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and was going through my pre-quarter-life crisis. Bought the score preview and took without studying to have baseline/backup. Got 168 but decided not to apply. Worked for 2 years- decided, actually yes I want to go to law school. which, yay!,…

Gap: Graduate studies (scholarship) Abroad Education and International Affairs work Abroad Language Program Abroad Extra: International Relations Conferences, Judicial Internship, AmeriCorps Cycle: -Took the LSAT 4 times ( twice with technical errors with the LSAT Flex)…
Overall, I feel as though I outperformed my stats due to a compelling PS. I took the LSAT twice and was PTing higher but decided to quit after the second time because I knew with work and school I couldn’t afford (both financially & time) to keep studying. My advice: if your stats are mediocre write a great PS and…
…From 153 on the LSAT-Flex, to a 151 on the first 4 section test since the pandemic…to now finally having a score in the 160s! It took completely changing the way I studied and giving a part-time job level of focus to the test for 3 months, but, I have to say, it was worth it. Give yourself lots of time to work on…
