…I had a very strong upward trend as I became a better student. After that, I worked in a foreign country for a few years and learned studied the language. Came back and worked at a law office as a legal assistant while studying for the LSAT. My PS was about this journey: how it was inspired by my family’s background…

Admitted to University of Colorado—Boulder…Mary” school, and I knew that it would be a reach with my LSAT score. Even though I was a little bit disappointed since UT Austin is my state public flagship university, I am grateful that I was not outright rejected, and I fully intend to ride the waitlist. Pennsylvania State University - Result: Acceptance.…
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…
Never back down, never give up eeehhhhhhh-mazing. For the dream, the stream and the EH-Team. When I got my LSAT score I cried, I was PT-ing in high 170s but had a panic attack the night before and got a 168 with 3 hours of sleep. I got immensely depressed after taking the LSAT a part of my identity was ripped from…
I got into Georgetown and was offered full tuition at a few schools with a terrible GPA and decent LSAT. I also had to disclose a misdemeanor, academic warning, and two gaps in my undergraduate degree to almost every school I applied to. My essays and addenda were polished, and I got positive feedback on them from…
I went into this blind. It was suggested by my parent in October 2020 that I try the LSAT and become a lawyer. I signed up and studied for about 10 hours and took the November LSAT. I don’t have a strong reason for being a lawyer other than I think it will be interesting (I’ve been exposed after doing a prelaw camp…
…new eyes and zero stress afterwards. **Do more rigorous LSAT studying for longer. **- Ultimately, everything worked out in the end, but I have been working full time for a top law firm for over two years and throughout my entire LSAT/Application process. This leaves minimal time and energy for studying. When I…
Don’t get caught up in how other people are studying for the LSAT! Stay focused on yourself and your own progress - trust the process!
Only two things matter, LSAT and GPA. And GPA doesn’t really matter unless it’s 4.0+… Just study your heart out for the LSAT, trust.
unconventional PS discussing character and fitness issue as reason for wanting to become a lawyer. my advice? besides high lsat and a good gpa, take risks with your application. be memorable, have a genuine reason for wanting to go to ls and communicate that passionately and clearly. i think my ps got me into places…
Do everything early. Start studying early, take your LSAT at an earlier administration than you need to, start writing early, submit your applications early. Don’t feel like you have to do law-related work to seem qualified. My work was only tangentially law-related, but was pretty unique and related clearly to a…
Study hard for the LSAT
Study hard for the LSAT but don’t let statistics discourage you from applying!
Study harder for the LSAT than me
I started this cycle knowing much less about the application process than I did by the time I got my final decision. Biggest things I learned: Study your ass off for the LSAT and apply broadly! I am happy with attending Wisconsin and staying on Michigan’s WL, but am planning on retaking the LSAT in June - if I score…
…was a pain in the fucking ass. Being smart enough to study a few months and get a 165 LSAT (88-90 percentile score) SHOULD mean easy admission to many T50 schools, but it’s not good enough anymore. Ban using CumGPA in law school admissions.
I’ve enjoyed seeing what other people have written here when they do write something so I figured I’d give my advice (LSAT/apps/essays) to the wind for anyone willing to read it: LSAT My diagnostic was 152, ended up with a 166 after studying for like a month lol. You can get a lot out of free content if you don’t…
…that the most significant weakness in my application is my LSAT score. I am working to increase that score as I prepare my second set of applications. Stay diligent with your studies and keep pressing forward. Do not let my set of waitlists deter your desire to apply to your dream schools. You do not know your…
