Study for the LSAT as soon as possible. If Your PT’s are not going up, seek a tutor. Pick an undergrad major you are skilled in, in order to keep your GPA as high as possible.

Put your trust in Jesus! He is the answer to all things. I studied two weeks for the LSAT, quite abruptly, because He confirmed in many ways He wants me to go to law school.

Reddit can only tell you so much of the story, trust yourself and your gut instinct and put the time and effort into what you know you’re good at versus what the internet thinks you should be good at. It’s your story at the end of the day, and the only author it’s by is you.
