LSAT 162 GPA 3.59 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of California (Hastings)

Take the LSAT 2-3 times until you score at or above your LSAT PT average. Give yourself 5+ months to study for the LSAT as well! Apply in September if you can, and definitely before Thanksgiving.

LSAT 168 GPA 3.86 2025–26 cycle

Attending University of California—Davis

…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…

LSAT 157 GPA 3.92 2023–24 cycle

Attending Loyola Marymount University—Los Angeles

The LSAT’s biggest hater. If you’re like me and are terrible at studying for and taking standardized tests, don’t let your lack-luster test taking abilities deter you from law school. Work hard in undergrad, learn to read and write well, keep your expectations realistic, and you can absolutely get into law school!…

Attending University of Texas at Austin

This is going to be long, but I have lots of wisdom to share that I wish I knew before! LSAT Prioritize the LSAT! It’s a difficult exam, but also very learnable. Every minute and penny you invest will save you thousands in tuition, so I was happy with my decision to pay for a few hours of tutoring. Even if this…

LSAT 163 GPA 3.29 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to University of Iowa

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…

LSAT 160 GPA 4.00 2023–24 cycle

Admitted to Southern Methodist University

After three attempts at the LSAT, my lsat score is a 160. I tried my best, all that I can with this test and am just gonna let fate bring me the results. As long as you tried your best its all good. I went from a 129 diag to a 160 which is 31 points higher. First half of my studying (8 months) was done while in…
