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…

Admitted to University of IowaI 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…
…as an individual and for law school applications. Take the LSAT seriously, and study for it. Don’t just wing it. Find books and programs that work for you. don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune, just study hard. Give it the proper time. There’s always going to be someone better than you, don’t get discouraged…
Don’t get caught up in how other people are studying for the LSAT! Stay focused on yourself and your own progress - trust the process!
Re-applicant from last cycle. Spent the whole spring and summer studying for the LSAT, took it in August, and improved from 161 to 168.
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+…
When taking the LSAT, just relax. I was scoring an average of 170 on my practice exams and ended up getting a 162 on the actual test, but don’t beat yourself up or feel discourage; either take it again or, if you’re anything like me and burned out, just apply and see what happens. But if you’re gonna go with the…
…not just the freshman attitude “I dont wanna be a snitch”. LSAT: A huge limiting factor to my application. Study hard with purpose. It teaches you the interworkings of how to think for law school. Don’t see it as a chore, but also do not let it eat you and take away your entire life. Once it starts hurting your core…
Spend more time on the LSAT than on anything else. I rushed the studying and got a average result.
Plan to take the LSAT multiple times. There’s not a cheat code, study the test but also spend time reading dense and complex material and learning logic – you want to eventually be a lawyer, after all. You don’t need to apply everywhere. Don’t check this site 20 times per day like I did. Get help with your…
…diverse than ever. With the rise in both median GPA and LSAT, a good story, a powerful story, is more a boon than ever before. That is the way that we- all people, really- are able to differentiate themselves. Play into that. It’s going to feel odd to pick and prune at yourself. It might be painful to pull a story…
Starting to study in June for Aug, Oct, or Nov tests in preparation of attending 1L the following year will be really tough. Everyone says start early and give yourself plenty of time and it’s really the truth! 7Sage, BluePrint, and LSAT done right (tutoring) was the best for me. I wish I had started using the LSAT…
…being the president of a club and participating in student government. Alongside my studies, I also took up some minor political internships. After graduating, I spent two years working. One year was in a regular minimum-wage job, while the other was in a unique industry. It’s worth noting that this is my second…
