LSAT 164 GPA 3.40 2021–22 cycle

LSAT 170 GPA 3.45 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Wisconsin

Start EARLY. Start your personal essays much earlier than you think, they take a lot of time. 7sage has a list of every school and what their essays are so you don’t have to bounce around LSAC. I would recommend starting in April-May for submissions in September. Don’t be afraid to take an LSAT class, the 2-3…
