Admitted to Capital UniversityLSAC slaughtered my GPA (how the fuck do withdrawals count?). My LSAC GPA is actually sub-2. Degree GPA is 3.1. I wrote a really nice addendum. LSAT Strategy- I had an extremely demanding job while studying for LSAT. I’m fine at LR and RC, so I just spent all possible time doing logic games over and over and over…
I am a human Leatherman multi-tool: I can do a lot of things, yet I have mastered none. Law school to me is like jail- a situation where I will have no choice but to focus on one thing for 3 years. Please, do not fall into the trap that is the woman in the red dress/ shiny object syndrome, just because something is…
“LSAT is the wrecking ball.” Control what you can.
If you are struggling with an LSAT study platform, do not bend yourself to fit their study materials. Many of these companies were developed by a few people that did well on the LSAT. They are now teaching you how they did well on the LSAT. That doesn’t work for every brain. I wish I had more time before I realized…
If you work hard and trust in God’s plan, you’ll end up where you’re meant to be.
Comparison is the thief of joy. (Related: get off Reddit.)
Some schools will see the value you bring through your application and some won’t. Some schools that you thought were guarantees, aren’t. Some schools you thought were a longshot, weren’t. Have faith in the process and know you’ll end up where you are meant to be. Peace and Love
Wrote Why X and Leadership Essays for everywhere I could! Relevant government and university work experience throughout undergrad Big 10 Undergrad I had COVID and my dad was in the hospital w it when I took LSAT, probably should’ve written an addendum
Don’t be deterred by not seeing your stats have admits to a school here. Not every applicant uses LSD. Use the LSAC Guide to Choosing Law Schools. The admissions data there gives a bigger picture than what you will glean here.
“Society teaches us that having feelings and crying is bad and wrong. Well, that’s baloney, because grief isn’t wrong. There’s such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown.” - Michael Scott
If you are in high school taking college credit classes - please try hard or else it will tank your LSAC GPA when you decide you want to be a lawyer
I don’t have a whole lot to say except apply early and know most schools probably won’t give you a decision in the scheduled time they tell you. Waitlists aren’t the end of the world either!
LSAT 155 GPA 3.74 2022–23 cycle
Admitted to American University
Not the greatest test taker ever, but was still able to get many acceptances. Life experience is important too – do well on the LSAT, but don’t forget about the rest of the picture.
Scores don’t mean everything. I had a couple internships and was heavily involved in many clubs at my university. Keep working and don’t give up.
I didn’t really expect to come this far. I don’t know what to do with my hands.
Start studying for the LSAT early and apply early!!
Apply as early as possible y’all.
