Don’t let all this nonsense get into your head. You can go to a good law school with a low LSAT and GPA.
LSAT 174 GPA 2.41 2022–23 cycle
Admitted to University of California—Los Angeles
Take the LSAT seriously. Started with 152 diagnostic. 169 on the first official. 174 on the second official. Wrote a PS about my work in the aerospace industry and how it connects back to law school. Hired one of the law school admissions consulting services.
Don’t freak out. I’m retaking the LSAT loud sigh

A low LSAT score is not necessarily a huge detriment to being admitted into law school. Your GPA and soft factors can go a long way, especially with a good personal statement!
Terrible GPA, wrote strong addendum. Less than ideal LSAT, wrote strong addendum. Your story is valuable. iiwii
Fervently chase your goals. You should never be the first one to tell yourself “no”.
To be the best version of yourself—you gotta be uncomfortable.
Trust the process and always be networking
Trust me…you can do this. Plan the work. Work the plan.
Don’t let a score get in the way of your dreams.
I used LSAT Max Prep to turn a 146 into a 161.
Believe!! Have a plan, and know your why.
Trust the Lord with ALL your heart.
