…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.…

Admitted to Pennsylvania State - Penn State Law…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…
I started this process in February of 2020. I studied for the LSAT for about 6 months (about 2 months of serious study and 4 months of occasionally taking a PT) and went from a 156 to a 167 using only 7sage PTs and free stuff from Khan Academy. It has been a long time coming, but I am glad I did things the way I…
Military paralegal with 10 years’ service, first degree GPA of 2.4 from 2012 and second degree GPA of 3.8 from 2022. I took the LSAT in 2009 and received a score of 159, and after a year of study while working, I took it again in 2021 with a score of 168. I genuinely feel that if I had continued my LSAT studies, I…
…A BREAK.*Be honest with yourself - can you actually handle studying for the LSAT while managing school, on top of whatever else you’ve got going on (a job, RSOs, etc.)?- Saying this because I studied during the Fall of 2023 while I had my job with FSU’s undergrad admissions, a 15-hour class load, and was involved…
…as an individual and for law school applications. Take the LSAT seriously, and study for it. Don’t just wing it. Find books and programs that work for you. don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune, just study hard. Give it the proper time. There’s always going to be someone better than you, don’t get discouraged…
study for the lsat for years literally
Use the 509 reports and the LSAC website data for school acceptance rates based on LSAT/GPA. I used LSAT Demon to study. Their scholarship estimator will give you important info about likelihood of scholarships based on your numbers. Apply early in the cycle. Good luck!
Save up early bc apps are insanely expensive without fee waivers Start studying for the LSAT like a year in advance and if you can work with a private tutor, DO IT Listen to podcasts/absorb as much material about law school admissions as possible
The LSAT is not the SAT, spend as much time possible as you can studying for it, and you will be rewarded.
Don’t make the same mistakes I did. 1.) Apply early as possible. (September/October) 2.) Take the LSAT more than once (I assumed a 163 would get me the scholarship and schools I preferred) –> Study for at least three months (Not two weeks like I did) 3.) Use LSAT prep courses. You will get the money back via…

Starting to study in June for Aug, Oct, or Nov tests in preparation of attending 1L the following year will be really tough. Everyone says start early and give yourself plenty of time and it’s really the truth! 7Sage, BluePrint, and LSAT done right (tutoring) was the best for me. I wish I had started using the LSAT…
