Admissions are getting more competitive every year. Apply to a wide range of schools, but not so many that you can’t produce high-quality applications. Answer every supplemental essay sincerely. It’s better to submit your applications a few weeks later than you would like to ensure they are perfect than to apply…

Admitted to Marquette UniversityI applied to a BROAD range of schools as you can see. Some schools are super reach and some schools are more so targets/safeties. I hope that my cycle can provide some insight for those who have my similar stats. As far as Fee Waivers, all of my FW were unsolicited except for Harvard, USCarolina, and OU which I…

No you are not late for starting applications after, it does make it…

Marquette University (WI resident, LOR from Marquette grad): **Accepted **- scholarship to come…
Put your trust in Jesus! He is the answer to all things. I studied two weeks for the LSAT, quite abruptly, because He confirmed in many ways He wants me to go to law school. I felt inexplicable peace after praying the day of the LSAT and enough time left to review multiple times for the first time. This was even…
Softs matter more than you think! LSAT is important, but it’s not everything, don’t sell yourself and what you have to offer short. Also, spend time on your personal statement, it matters more than people admit
For me i always wanted to see people like me’s advice. So lets start at the top. Be Realistic with yourself and craft your school list meticulously: if your below both medians more than likely your not getting in. It sucks i know, but make sure that your list reflects your stats. Weather u have a 158 like me or a…
Yes, I had a low LSAT score. But I worked really hard in undergrad and made sure my resume and transcripts set me apart from the rest. I held 5 leadership positions on campus, competed in business competitions, had internships, networked, and did a ton of stuff. Biggest tips: Apply early, I waited too long. You have…

Q: What do you wish you had known when you started applying? A: What I Know now.
Pay as much money as you can to do well the LSAT, especially if you are a splitter. A few thousand on a course can make up for tens of thousands in scholarships. Originally applied to 5 schools 2020-21 cycle with a 15low and got 4/5 waitlists, no acceptances. Reapplying this cycle with higher LSAT and fingers…

Expectation is the thief of joy… come into the cycle with an open mind, and you just might be pleasantly surprised. I can tell you, 100%, I felt more comfortable fitting into UMiami’s culture than ND’s (in terms of wealth and pretentiousness). My safety school turned out to be the greatest gift. Go Canes!
No LSAT plateau is permanent Apply earlier than I did Ask for fee waivers Talk to lawyers. Find out what they do and whether they like it Recommended resources: LSAT Demon, Thinking LSAT, Michigan’s A2Z, Harvard and Yale’s Navigating Law School Admissions
Yes I am a 3x grammy winner, nobel prize winner, olympian (only won a bronze medal tho…) highly encourage applying as soon as possible—plan ahead accordingly. I think my cycle would’ve looked a lot greener had I not applied so late
Reapplicant! Applied to schools last cycle with a 150 LSAT. Did not have a successful cycle. Retook in April 2024 and got a 160. Ready for fall of 2025!! UR dates: 11/5/24, 11/13/24, 11/14/24 A!
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!
