Admitted to Emory University…myself (below every 25th uGPA median and above every 75th LSAT median), writing really strong essays can move the needle and make you stand out from the big crowd of “very good but flawed” T14 applicants that often end up disappointed and/or stuck on perpetual waitlists. Don’t only craft your Why X essay to your top…
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…
…and maybe not the right one. We’ll see 🤷♂️). Gonna actually study for the LSAT this time, and redo my essays over the summer. Also looking for legal-adjacent work experience, to help convince that the transition from STEM to law isn’t a rushed or desperate decision. Make sure law school is what you really want to do.…
Start studying for the LSAT early and get books to study with. I highly recommend The Loophole in Logical Reasoning (Book by Ellen Cassidy) and Powerscore’s Logic Games Bible! The Ellen Cassidy book changed everything for me and had I started studying with both books way earlier, I would have certainly scored well…
…senior editor / lead designer, 1 year as editor in chief), student in Honors college, published author, presented at an honors capstone conference. Self studied for the LSAT over the course of quarantine–about 2 hours per day, 5 days a week. Used Powerscore LG Bible and LR Bible, Khan Academy, LawHub practice tests,…
I started this process in February of 2020. I studied for the LSAT for about 6 months (about 2 months of serious study and 4 months of occasionally taking a PT) and went from a 156 to a 167 using only 7sage PTs and free stuff from Khan Academy. It has been a long time coming, but I am glad I did things the way I…
DISCLAIMER: I AM GOING TO SOUND VERY NITPICKY ABOUT MY APPLICATION, GPA, AND LSAT IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION. I AM CONTENT WITH MY OUTCOME AT THE END OF THE CYCLE. THIS IS JUST WHAT I WOULD TELL MYSELF ON HOW TO IMPROVE MY OUTCOMES IF I WERE TO GO BACK IN TIME. **Study hard for the LSAT. Like, take the amount of time…
Give yourself WAY more time than you think you need to study for the LSAT. I’d recommend giving yourself no less than 1 year to study. You may be very smart, but you just don’t know whether the test will feel intuitive to you, whether you will plateau, whether you will burn out, etc. And DO NOT TAKE THE OFFICIAL…
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…
Recognize how much of a blessing it is that you can offset your four-year GPA with your two-hour LSAT score. STUDY FOR THE TEST AND TAKE PREP TESTS WEEKLY.
…ridiculous sometimes. Just do the best you can, take the LSAT as many times as it takes to get a 170+, and lean into your softs. I don’t have any family members or friends in law, and had no idea what I was doing when I applied. I was just very candid and transparent in my application, and studied for the LSAT for…
Take undergrad seriously! Ask for letters of rec three months before you plan to send in apps. Take frequent breaks to avoid burnout when studying for the LSAT. Get involved in extracurricular activities that aren’t academic! Write LOCIs when waitlisted if you are serious about attending a school. Wishing you the…
Don’t apply in March and don’t do investment banking while studying for the LSAT.
…and their merit aid options (I also had a limited time to study for the LSAT—6 weeks using Khan Academy—which was not ideal). However, I’m very proud of my waitlists because applying later allows me to live in the dream that I would have been accepted if I’d applied 4-6 months earlier ;)
Study for the LSAT at least 2 years before you plan on applying…
LSAT 163 GPA 3.85 2024–25 cycle
Attending University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign
Start studying for the LSAT early!! Do not compromise yourself by applying with a low score. I firmly believe with enough dedication everyone can test into the 160’s.
Give yourself time to study for the LSAT and use that time wisely. Don’t get lost in trying to find the best prep course. Indecision is more costly than wrong decision. Spend time drilling then drill some more - that’s how you learn. Think your life is boring and there’s nothing to write about? Wrong. There is only…
