Make sure you give AMPLE time to study for the LSAT. I know far too many people that barely studied and just went wherever they got in. The LSAT and your GPA are about a 50/50 split of impact. You spent 4 whole years and literally countless hours to earn your GPA, so the other 50% of your application deserves more…

Admitted to Florida State University…gotten the best UGPA you can, THEN start focusing on LSAT. I highly recommend LSATDemon for all your studying needs. I truly think they are the clear winners for title of best LSAT study program. I only used them for a couple months and increased my LSAT score by 10 points. I only wish I had used them from the…
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…
Spend more time studying for the LSAT than you think. As long as you are still learning, you should still be studying. Take good care of yourself and take as much time off as you need between undergrad and law school.
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.
Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.
For what it’s worth… Applying to law school in the year of Covid has been stressful and unpredictable. Will next year be as competitive? IMO yes. LSAT Flex has increased averages and with so many applicants applying due to Covid/economy there will be deferrals. Apply as early in September as possible. Non 170+…
Don’t underestimate the LSAT, just plan on studying for 6 months.
Spend plenty of time studying and preparing for the LSAT, be realistic about your chances at certain schools. And don’t stress too much once everything is submitted, find something to distract yourself. For the love of God don’t refresh this site constantly, it will destroy you, trust me.
The LSAT is not the SAT, spend as much time possible as you can studying for it, and you will be rewarded.
…(I would’ve loved to get even one more point on my LSAT). I worked really hard on my personal statement, and I’m proud of how it turned out. There were so many ways that I wanted to tell my story, but I settled on the one that ultimately felt true to me, even if it was a struggle to write at times. Do the optional…
…GPA addendum due to death, severe illness in the family LSAT: I settled for a 162 because that was near the midrange of my PT scores and I work full time. I studied on/off for about a year and then more intensively during spring 2020 with the Covid lockdowns. I was hitting -0 on logic games, but I was equally bad at…
