My $0.02 on the application process: The LSAT If you think you need a year to study for the LSAT, you probably need two. Despite what everyone on reddit says, it takes most people a lot of time to score 160+. If you’re able, take a gap year (or two) and work part-time while studying for the LSAT. It may sound…

ADVICE in the off chance someone actually ends up reading this, here is some advice i wish i had given myself prior to beginning my law…
studied for LSAT using the LSAT Trainer book by Mike Kim – might not be for everyone, but it’s only $50 and it really worked for me!
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…

Simple Advice: Spend a lot of time to craft your personal statement/application to show why you want to go to law school. ***This is SUPER…
Recognize how much of a blessing it is that you can offset your four-year GPA with your two-hour LSAT score. STUDY FOR THE TEST AND TAKE PREP TESTS WEEKLY.
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.

Starting to study in June for Aug, Oct, or Nov tests in preparation of attending 1L the following year will be really tough. Everyone says start early and give yourself plenty of time and it’s really the truth! 7Sage, BluePrint, and LSAT done right (tutoring) was the best for me. I wish I had started using the LSAT…
Because of my GPA, I scared myself into believing I had to achieve a perfect LSAT score and delayed testing for almost 4 years. The forums and the chat can be useful, but they can also be harmful. Know your limit. If you start to doubt your worth, your chances, yourself.. UNPLUG. I did not pay for study programs or…
