LSAT 145 GPA 3.51 2021–22 cycle

Attending Wake Forest University

Overview: I came into the cycle hopeful about my softs, but honestly, they only care about numbers lol >.<!! So, if you can, definitely retake the LSAT (preferably 160 and up) or win competitive scholarships [i.e., MMSP, Mcdonnell, Earl Warren, SEO Law, etc.].

LSAT 169 GPA 3.86 2022–23 cycle

Attending Yale University

Application Process: I applied to 40 schools total, most of which were originally applied to with my second LSAT score (167). At the time, after living on r/LSAT, I really didn’t know what my outcome would be and felt I didn’t do…
