Apply earlier than you think and make sure your application conveys your “Why” Cycle Update 3/26/2026 This cycle has been a whirlwind, I felt thrown off about 87% of the time, but I’m overall super happy with the acceptances I’ve received. I’m not someone who would like to wait on a waitlist for personal planning…

Admitted to University of DenverI’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…
I applied to a BROAD range of schools as you can see. Some schools are super reach and some schools are more so targets/safeties. I hope that my cycle can provide some insight for those who have my similar stats. As far as Fee Waivers, all of my FW were unsolicited except for Harvard, USCarolina, and OU which I…
Talk to people you know already in the field, especially if they are still in law school or just finishing up (this is if you want their opinion on what law school is like NOW, their app process, their studying process, etc). For recs, I asked way in advance to make sure I wouldn’t have to worry about that come…
Everyone says not to go to law school, and that is probably prudent advice, which is what you want from legal professionals. But if you’re thinking about applying and you’re looking at this profile because you have similar stats, I say at least apply and see what happens? Control the things you can control like…
My goal in entering the 2022/23 Cycle: Get a full ride (or very close); Receive no conditions on said full ride; Be in Washington State (but also consider other states just in case). I ended up choosing Gonzaga Law. Some of this stems from my desire to be in WA State, even Eastern WA, long term. Secondly, I want to…

Applying for Law School for the 2024 School Year. University of Iowa: University of Wisconsin-Madison (WI resident): University of Illinois - Champaign Urbana (attended for undergrad, parents are IL residents): Rejected. Marquette University (WI resident, LOR from Marquette grad): **Accepted **- scholarship to come…
Work so hard that it is UNREASONABLE for you NOT to succeed. Always, Always, Always, BET ON YOU!!
Terrible undergrad GPA and an alright LSAT score. I put a lot of effort into my PS and my LORs are pretty strong. We will see if it’s enough to get me some As. I’ve taken a few big swings with schools that I have no business applying to but I think there is a small chance that my background and WE might create a…
LSAT 163 GPA 3.29 2024–25 cycle
Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles
let them tell you no, apply everywhere!
Radiate positivity and love to manifest getting accepted into the law school of your dreams.
Because of my GPA, I scared myself into believing I had to achieve a perfect LSAT score and delayed testing for almost 4 years. The forums and the chat can be useful, but they can also be harmful. Know your limit. If you start to doubt your worth, your chances, yourself.. UNPLUG. I did not pay for study programs or…
Getting rejected sucks, but just remember they don’t see what you’re capable of where others will. Keep moving forward.
Be yourself. You are playing your own game. Present a compelling case for yourself and you will have options. Most law school admissions advice: is bad- is too general will not apply to you Critically examine information, then do what is best for you.
celebrate your little wins, be easy on yourself, don’t forget how bell curves work, and never ever ask for advice on reddit (instead ask: an admissions officer at that school, a professor or faculty member at your undergrad, a friend in law school, etc)
My Advice for Law School Applicants: Applying to law school can seem intimidating, but there’s a lot of support available. Once you dive into the process, you’ll find that many people are willing to help—and it’s not as overwhelming as it first appears. 😊 **1. Focus on your GPA and LSAT score: **These are the most…
