LSAT 164 GPA 3.71 2022–23 cycle

Attending St. John's University

My $0.02 on the application process: The LSAT If you think you need a year to study for the LSAT, you probably need two. Despite what everyone on reddit says, it takes most people a lot of time to score 160+. If you’re able, take a gap year (or two) and work part-time while studying for the LSAT. It may sound…

LSAT 165 GPA 3.52 2021–22 cycle

Attending American University

I recommend studying at least 6 months for the LSAT, and like, really studying. If I could do it over, I would have studied all winter/spring and taken it early in the summer. That way you can retake it in late summer/early fall if necessary, and still apply relatively early in the cycle. I would also start jotting…

LSAT 162 GPA 3.59 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of California (Hastings)

Take the LSAT 2-3 times until you score at or above your LSAT PT average. Give yourself 5+ months to study for the LSAT as well! Apply in September if you can, and definitely before Thanksgiving.

LSAT 155 GPA 3.90 2024–25 cycle

Admitted to St. John's University

You don’t need a 170 LSAT to go to a good law school. That being said, a higher LSAT would definitely make things easier, open more doors, and give you more scholarship options. Simple Advice: Spend a lot of time to craft your personal statement/application to show why you want to go to law school. ***This is SUPER…

LSAT 171 GPA 3.47 2023–24 cycle

Attending George Washington University

Spend more time studying for the LSAT than you think. As long as you are still learning, you should still be studying. Take good care of yourself and take as much time off as you need between undergrad and law school.

LSAT 169 GPA 3.86 2023–24 cycle

Attending Albany Law School Of Union University

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!

LSAT 166 GPA 3.52 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Wisconsin

Only two things matter, LSAT and GPA. And GPA doesn’t really matter unless it’s 4.0+… Just study your heart out for the LSAT, trust.

LSAT 160 GPA 3.84 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Connecticut

Just about anyone can get into law school if they put their mind to it. Setting a target LSAT score and sticking to a strict study regimen is what worked for me, even if this seems rather obvious and sounds redundant.

LSAT 163 GPA 3.29 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to University of Iowa

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…
