It’s never too late to follow your dreams. I’m older than most students, this was true in undergrad and will be true in law school. After a long succesful career in the military, I decided to pursue my childhood dream and attend law school. The choice for me was simple, it came down to a matter of if I would regret…

Admitted to Indiana University - BloomingtonAfter taking the LSAT in January 2021, I applied to Minnesota on March 1st, 2021 (the only school I applied to during the 2020-21 cycle), and was waitlisted in early May. I knew it was probably because I had applied so late in the cycle, but it was still devastating and caused me to doubt my ability to get into law…
…my thesis committee, and are my biggest cheerleaders. Self-studied for the LSAT with a couple PT books and Khan Academy. 167 –> 175 two months later, both in 2019. Drill-based studying in short bursts 4-5 days a week with <10 timed PTs. Consistency won; you can’t cram for a skills-based test. What helped: Dean Z’s…
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
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!
Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.
Spend more time studying for the LSAT. Consume your life with it. Be a paralegal, legal assistant or get a legal related job to see if you want to be a lawyer.
Your story matters. Get a higher LSAT than me. Start studying earlier than me. You know what you have to do.
Study hard for the LSAT but don’t let statistics discourage you from applying!
…annual stipend) was a big plus :) I took the summer off to study full-time for the LSAT, and I think it paid off. My biggest pro was my GPA imo. In my personal statement and diversity statements I dug into being LGBT, working in a law firm as a legal assistant/paralegal, and my immigrant, Spanish-speaking girlfriend.
GPA is out of 4.0 scale. I am a history major currently going into my Senior year of University and studying for the August and October LSATs! I hope to post some of my scores and positive vibes as I go! I also plan on taking the GRE, and will post how that affects my acceptance as well.
…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…
…(I would’ve loved to get even one more point on my LSAT). I worked really hard on my personal statement, and I’m proud of how it turned out. There were so many ways that I wanted to tell my story, but I settled on the one that ultimately felt true to me, even if it was a struggle to write at times. Do the optional…
…similar stats, invest the time and energy to improve that LSAT to 170+. It unlocks so many doors. Wish I would’ve quit my job to study full time, but life goes as it does. Also, state schools will generally lowball you if they feel like they can get away with it. UKY did it to me; UTK, UNC, etc did it to others.…
I entered the 21-22 application cycle a little unsure about my August LSAT score and whether applying with a 168 would enable me to accomplish my goals. After considering retaking the LSAT, I ultimately decided against it because I did not believe I’d be able to successfully study for the exam during the school year…

LSAT: june ’21 164 –> august ‘21 170 thanks to just khan academy, mike kim’s LSAT trainer, and grinding PTs. my PT average was like a 165 so i truly got lucky on my second take. probably could have taken more time + money to study and squeezed out a few more points, but i was more than happy with a 170 and wanted to…
