…be largely unattainable for me because of my below-median LSAT - but remember, numbers are only part of your application. More unsolicited advice: STUDY STUDY STUDY for the LSAT. Give yourself more time than you think you need.

Admitted to Fordham University…plus) three times a week for the year before that. Started LSAT prep in late August 2024, scored 162 in November, retook at the next available (January 2025) and scored 163. Submitted all apps in February or early March of 2025. I also submitted some panic applications in April. Results were less than ideal haha.…
Link to Reddit cycle recap with written application materials included:*** ***https://bit.ly/3HvUUqH **Numbers: 3.89/172 ** (Took the LSAT four times: April 2021: Cancel, October 2021: 162, November 2021: 164, June 2022: 172). I studied for the LSAT for over two years. Making the decision to delay a cycle and keep…
Give yourself ample time for the LSAT.- I studied on and off for about a year, then kicked it into high gear and studied roughly an hour every day for about 10 months. I also took the LSAT 3 times. The exam can change the trajectory of your life, you owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. The LSAT is not an…

Start your LSAT studying early folks
…networking through campus visits and calls w/ current students definitely helped me swing a few A’s (USC, UCLA, UMich). Unless it’s HYS, always write the ‘Why X’. Make sure is personalized. If I was in admissions I would discriminate against KJDs. Joking as lots of you are incredibly intelligent, but go get that…
…while working full time (40+ hour weeks), id spend a year studying for lsat, and then the next year, visit schools and write essays and apply that cycle very much sure of which schools I wanted and why. I think if I’d not let myself be pressured by others or my own expectations as far as timeline, if I could do it…
Order of priority (if you decided you wanted to go to law school after graduating from undergrad like me): GRIND the LSAT. Try and get a 170+ score (honestly, a 173 now). Drill, drill, drill. Start a YEAR in advance (and apply for accommodations well in advance, though it usually comes through pretty quickly). A…
Live laugh love But for real advice: for the LSAT, when you study, go through missed answers, note what “type” of question it is, and try to understand the “why” - it helps to identify patterns and get better at the test Understand your “why” for law and build your narrative around that for your application,…
I recommend LSAT Demon to study! You don’t need legal experience, but you should have a cohesive narrative explaining “why law, why now.” Write all optional essays that pertain to you. Apply broadly to negotiate aid and don’t be afraid to ask! Consider overall COA and location when rankings and scholarships are…
R&R if you are not happy with your first cycle results. I only got into Temple the previous cycle and WL at 3 T-14s. I knew I could do better, so I studied for the LSAT for 3 months, got a job in the legal field, volunteered, and refined my essays. Apply as early as possible, especially if below medians. I think the…
Study hard for the LSAT. If possible, reach out to your university’s writing center - they can be quite helpful.
…and fill your time doing things you enjoy instead. AND STUDY HARD FOR THE LSAT!! you got this!
what is meant for you won’t miss you xoxo best advice i can give is to not be like me and decide to take the lsat/apply to law school for that cycle in august. i think i lost *at least *5 years off of my life with the study-for-the-october-lsat-then-apply-by-mid-november turnaround.
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
LSAT - spend more time taking actual practice tests and studying with no distractions than reading advice on reddit or on here APPs - spend more time reflecting, rewriting, and talking to colleagues/mentors to make your PS authentic than reading advice and worrying same w recommenders - you know them, your…
LSAT: Give yourself more time than you think you need to study. If you can swing it, a tutor or course is a great investment into your future because just a few LSAT points can mean a huge difference in where you are accepted and/or scholarship amounts. (I used 7Sage and PowerScore.) If you think you left points on…
…school I applied to other than 2 non-ranking schools. My LSAT at the time was a 150. That disappointing cycle motivated me to transform my frustration into motivation to score as high as I could before the start of the current cycle. My study regimen allowed me to score a 169 on the Aug 2023 LSAT. Below, you will…
