LSAT Studying: I used 7sage and supplemented with the PowerScore Bibles. After my first LSAT (171), I used the Loophole which took me from -4ish LR to -1ish, also helped my RC. Most helpful of all, about a month before my first LSAT I found an online study group. We BR’d PTs together. Having to explain my reasoning…

Admitted to University of Pennsylvania…Just with the law school admissions process, you’ve had to study for and take the LSAT, finish an undergraduate education, do internships, work to support yourself during the process, and write a whole bunch of essays. Make sure to remember that all the ad comms and all the other applicants are all people too.…
Give yourself LOTS of time to study for the LSAT. I started studying a full year before I planned on submitting my applications, and it took me approx. 400 hours of studying spread out over 8 months for me to be happy with my score. Especially if your GPA is below the medians of the schools you’re applying to (like…
…the beginning and so thankful it worked out. Preparation Studied for the LSAT on and off for two years, taking it twice post-LG removal. Worked on my personal statement for a year and requested LORs the spring before applying. Attended LSAC Forums (virtual one cycle early, in-person during my cycle), which helped…
I am an LSAT Tutor & I review application essays; my DMs are open. If you want to learn more about my study methods, essays, or work with me feel free to reach out! LSAT: I studied for a whole year before the taking the LSAT. The first 3 or so months were chill just learning concepts, then I focused more on drilling…
…I’m incredibly pleased with my cycle. When I first started studying for the LSAT, I was convinced few schools, particularly those near the top of the rankings, would be interested in a 40-year old with several significant health challenges, so I applied broadly. I studied for about a year, and took the LSAT twice to…
…plus) three times a week for the year before that. Started LSAT prep in late August 2024, scored 162 in November, retook at the next available (January 2025) and scored 163. Submitted all apps in February or early March of 2025. I also submitted some panic applications in April. Results were less than ideal haha.…
Took the LSAT once and used Khan Academy and Mike Kim’s LSAT Trainer to study. No significant work experience except for an on-campus part-time job. Wrote a PS about my experiences growing up as an immigrant, no DS. Wrote a “Why X” and supplemental essays when recommended.
Take your time studying for the LSAT. It took me quitting my job as director at a non-profit, going part-time, and spending almost everyday studying for about 1.5-2 hours, mainly focusing on review. I used the LSATDemon tool to conquer the LSAT. Prepare your essays ahead of time and always send professional, cordial…
…ridiculous sometimes. Just do the best you can, take the LSAT as many times as it takes to get a 170+, and lean into your softs. I don’t have any family members or friends in law, and had no idea what I was doing when I applied. I was just very candid and transparent in my application, and studied for the LSAT for…
I studied for the LSAT for about 3.5 months using 7sage. My softs and essays were more business oriented which I think aligned with Penn and Columbia. I helped found a start up. Harvard, Duke, and NYU are more advocacy and community focused which is why I think my profile did not align as with these schools. I have…
Live laugh love But for real advice: for the LSAT, when you study, go through missed answers, note what “type” of question it is, and try to understand the “why” - it helps to identify patterns and get better at the test Understand your “why” for law and build your narrative around that for your application,…
Study for the LSAT, it’s worth it Tell a cohesive story in your essays
…I am outside of school. I also think it gave me time to study for the LSAT and put together strong applications. Those combined to make me a much stronger applicant and, I think, will ultimately make me a much happier law student. Second, taking time to seriously consider what I want to do and why. I think one of…
Do everything early. Start studying early, take your LSAT at an earlier administration than you need to, start writing early, submit your applications early. Don’t feel like you have to do law-related work to seem qualified. My work was only tangentially law-related, but was pretty unique and related clearly to a…
…I now realize was a huge risk. While I did good on my LSAT, I was averaging a 162-165 up until the month before I took my test. I then changed my study habits and started averaging 168-174 right before I took in August. I am sure that if I kept studying I could’ve gotten a higher LSAT, but since I forced myself to…
LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…
…save money!!! This is very expensive. Could have taken the LSAT in August. Felt super pressured to take it in May and only got to study a few weeks for it. I didn’t get through the last game and wouldn’t be surprised if the questions I missed were all from the games section.
