LSAT 169 GPA 3.96 2021–22 cycle

Attending Cornell University

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…

LSAT 171 GPA 4.00 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Pennsylvania

…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.…

LSAT 172 GPA 3.81 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

…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…

Start…

LSAT 177 GPA 3.98 2025–26 cycle

Attending University of Minnesota

Plan to take the LSAT multiple times. There’s not a cheat code, study the test but also spend time reading dense and complex material and learning logic – you want to eventually be a lawyer, after all. You don’t need to apply everywhere. Don’t check this site 20 times per day like I did. Get help with your…

LSAT 161 GPA 3.30 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Minnesota

…addition to 1 CAS fee waiver for participating in an LSAC study Submitted nearly all apps on or around 10/10, but decided to take November LSAT - reached out to schools that did not have a stated LSAT hold policy (UT, Stanford, DePaul) and didn’t do anything else for schools with policies (Wisconsin, LUC, UIUC) SIDE…

LSAT 159 GPA 2.43 2022–23 cycle

Attending Case Western Reserve University

If your GPA is like mine shoot for a 160. I did not want to take the LSAT again. I liked 7sage for LSAT prep. Dont worry about time limits until you understand most types of LR and LG question / game types. RC just read carefully and pretend it is an interesting reading passage . I studied full-time while working…
