…more information if needed. -Are you below median or a splitter? Chances are you will not receive a decision until very late in the cycle (like March/April/May late in the cycle), and that’s okay!

Attending University of California—Los Angeles

…I was unsure how my cycle would turn out as a reverse splitter. My cycle is proof that the LSAT isn’t everything! My practice tests were in the 167-173 range. My first test in June 2023 was a 159, and my second was Sept. 2023 161. Don’t know why the real ones were so different, but it ended up not mattering all that…
