Stats are 90% of what matters. At non t14s, they’re 100% of what matters. My LSAC GPA was significantly worse than my transcript GPA because I had to retake a class that I sorta quit on my freshman year (oops). This absolutely hurt my cycle, maybe more for scholarship amounts than for acceptances. Essays and resume…

Admitted to University of Notre DameNot a ton of wisdom here you can’t find on reddit or podcasts or whatnot. Don’t be afraid to retake your LSAT. Shoot your shot. Only apply places you’d be happy to attend. Disregard rankings, or better yet create your own: https://myrankbyspivey.com I guess my only real insights are for fellow low-income applicants.…
was PTing at 169-174, but got an absolute monster of a games section on my second official, and thus I got a 166. Pretty unhappy with that score. May retake in April if no solid acceptances by then. UPDATE - 11/30/2023 - going to apply to a couple schools but likely a retake in February and then rinse and repeat for…
…not have regrets about your performance on the test or not retaking. I was PTing 17mid prior to test day but had a bad test. I needed to go to school this year so I chose not to retake. I liked NDLS the best so I accepted there after receiving a late A.
First, I’m applying the 24-25 cycle with a GRE only. Assuming I get off of 0 waitlists (as I write this, I have at least 6), it would probably be time to retake and reapply with an actual LSAT. Don’t use Blueprint unless your diagnostic is already 160+. I’m going to use LSAT Demon to try assuming I don’t get one…
…My goal was to get into YLS(middle finger) hence the retake, but I think this could have led to some YP at some schools. Write good essays that have a strong why law, especially if you’re KJD. KJDs routinely make up the majority of applicants who underperform their stats and it’s almost always due to lackluster…
…more supplemental essays and addenda for multiple LSAT retakes. Applied a month earlier this time.

…your greatness. viva la raza! To my R&R buddies: If you retake, do not be hard on yourself. I retook and got into so many more schools the second time around. You have options, you can achieve great things with more time and knowledge! Make sure to alter your PS if reapplying to same schools. Attending USC! Fight…
Deferred from WashU to get some additional work experience and hopefully raise my scholarship through an LSAT retake.
…and utter thankfulness for not being straight rejected. Retaking a 172 is okay. A 173/174 is where it gets iffy. I tried to actively avoid putting my Big Sad on a platter for the Law School Trauma Farm, and instead focused on the qualities and characteristics that certain events will allow me to contribute to the…
