Things I learned: Additional essays probably help. I didn’t write anything besides my resume and personal statement. - Studying for the LSAT for a month isn’t enough to get full potential, take it before November and start studying earlier Submit applications early or you are at a disadvantage when applying (do it…

Admitted to Georgetown UniversityA few thoughts on waitlists, “your chances,” R&R, the LSAT, and advice in general: Never give up on waitlists, especially ones that are known to have good movement (like in my case with HLS). A strong, school-specific Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI) can go a long way. Do not send the same LOCI to every school,…
Try not to go insane. Study early and study hard for the LSAT. Have a rock-solid study routine. Don’t study full-time, though; losing all external structure in your life can be very destabilizing. Don’t be afraid to say no to higher-ranked schools in order to stay close to loved ones. Apply broadly. Take at least…
…then use the LSAC Fee Waiver to qualify for reduced-price LSAT prep materials (see the timeline on LSAT studying below). The LSAC Fee Waiver is good for two years however; at which time you will need to reapply. No harm in reapplying just a tedious task especially if you have to do it around application submission…
…about why law school is the right decision for you. Study early for the LSAT- : I gave the LSAT a whirl for the first time after only studying for 2.5 months. Not my best move. For my second test (171), I studied for 8 months. This allowed me to study less per day, but far more effectively and without getting burnt…
studied lsat for 3 weeks w/ lsat demon, took june 2023 lsat wrote ps about being audhd wrote ds about being mixed race (black and asian) if a school didn’t want a race-based ds, i submitted a “struggle statement” about me moving out of my parents’ house a week after i turned 18 and fully supporting myself worked…
LSAT Studying: I used 7sage and supplemented with the PowerScore Bibles. After my first LSAT (171), I used the Loophole which took me from -4ish LR to -1ish, also helped my RC. Most helpful of all, about a month before my first LSAT I found an online study group. We BR’d PTs together. Having to explain my reasoning…
…Just with the law school admissions process, you’ve had to study for and take the LSAT, finish an undergraduate education, do internships, work to support yourself during the process, and write a whole bunch of essays. Make sure to remember that all the ad comms and all the other applicants are all people too.…
…independently covered my CAS fee are: **Texas A&M, ASU LSAT Studied for around 9 months. 154 diagnostic, 169 first, 172 second. A wrong answer journal changed the study game for me. LORS 2 academic- 1 professional One additional academic/professional sent to a few WL options. REQUIRED ESSAYS + OPTIONALS ** For my…
…those six months were filled with a ridiculous amount of LSAT studying and application writing. At the time I felt honored and I am still honored today to be able to say that I was selected as a part of YLS’s class of 2026, paid for by the Funded Law Education Program. This was and still is truly unbelievable having…
…the beginning and so thankful it worked out. Preparation Studied for the LSAT on and off for two years, taking it twice post-LG removal. Worked on my personal statement for a year and requested LORs the spring before applying. Attended LSAC Forums (virtual one cycle early, in-person during my cycle), which helped…
…from the application deadline, this might mean beginning studying for the LSAT sooner! I took the LSAT 3 times to achieve my 177 (a total of 7 months of studying from March–my diagnostic was 155, I got a 163 on the June LSAT, a 170 in August, and a 177 in October), but this meant the earliest I could submit…
…risky personal statement topic choice! Finally, I took the LSAT 3 times. 168 and 169 in back to back tests, then I took a 10 month break (6 month break and 4 months of studying) and then got my 174. **I just wanted to start off by highlighting that and saying PLEASE study for the LSAT as much as you have time and…
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…

LSAT: I studied for a whole year before the taking the LSAT. The first 3 or so months were chill just learning concepts, then I focused more on drilling…
…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’m incredibly pleased with my cycle. When I first started studying for the LSAT, I was convinced few schools, particularly those near the top of the rankings, would be interested in a 40-year old with several significant health challenges, so I applied broadly. I studied for about a year, and took the LSAT twice to…
…softs in undergrad. All I had to do was score well on the LSAT. Ultimately, I did, but let me just say; little compares to the sustained anxiety of studying for a test as difficult to “perfect” as the LSAT for roughly 6 months. Godspeed to all those who come after me. All of my apps were submitted between November…
