**Advice for future applicants: ** Your practice tests are not necessarily reflective of what you’ll score on the real LSAT. Be careful gassing yourself up with these PTs because your actual score might be disappointing. Also, try to apply earlier in the cycle. I took the LSAT 3 times thinking I could score higher…

The application cycle is a lot like sorority rush. If you did not endure the chaos of trying to get into a sorority, it is a double sided interview where if done correctly guides you to the sorority that you want and wants you. While acceptances, rejections, and waitlists are cruel it guides you to the school that…
Apply wide. Really wide. Embarrassingly wide. Then let the dust settle and make the smartest boring decision available. Prestige is a fine thing until you’re paying for it with money you don’t have chasing outcomes that aren’t guaranteed. The humble path taken confidently beats the prestigious path taken anxiously…
If you work hard and trust in God’s plan, you’ll end up where you’re meant to be.
Took June & October 2023 LSAT. Both were not my goal score, but I still applied to all law schools listed below. Ultimately decided to retake the exam one more time & did significantly better on the February of 2024 LSAT. I hope this is helpful to those who are discouraged or worried about taking the LSAT one last…
Police Officer in Louisiana. Undergrad in Texas with a BS in Criminal Justice. Wrote any optional essays available. Studied for the LSAT for approximately one week for a few hours a day before work but really did not want to retake. Applied late because this is my first attempt at the process and I didn’t know…
Don’t apply in late February like I did. I waited for Feb LSAT and its definitely cost me.
I was roofied my freshman year which took a huge emotional toll on me. Sophomore year I had almost 20 trips to the emergency room/hospital for ovarian cysts which caused my GPA to fall. Was able to get all As and a few Bs to bring it back up some in the following semesters, but they only do so much. I wrote an…

I’m refreshing everyday. If your looking at my page… hi!
Keep taking the LSAT. And take it in-person. I went 162 -> 168 -> 167 -> 168 -> 175. The last one was the only one I didn’t take at home or in a stupid hotel. Remote test-taking sucks. Go to the testing place.
Take the LSAT before January lol.
when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. when life gives you limes, you make limeade. when life gives you both, you make sprite.
You miss 100% of the shots you do not take.
Stats aren’t everything. Tell your story!!!
The only thing worse than rejection is regret! applied pretty broadly since this is a weird cycle. Planned to go to Loyola, but getting into bama was such a dream.
In general, I would say that the best thing to do is not worry about it. Submit your applications and get on with your life!
