Admitted to Stetson UniversityI planned on applying to other schools but received early decision acceptance very early in the cycle (pleasant). I got into my top school with a scholarship, and I never could have dreamed of getting into it after receiving my undergrad GPA. The following insights are ones that I wish I had known earlier in the…
Splitter Advice Apply to less schools- : if you’re hesitant about living somewhere, it might not be the right fit. Tell your story, focus on the highs- : if you spend a paragraph in an addendum describing adverse circumstances from undergrad, spend a paragraph describing how you bounced back and put yourself in a…
LSAT 163 GPA 3.76 2025–26 cycle
Admitted to University of Colorado—Boulder
be yourself, focus on your strengths, and trust that everything will workout<3 (start writing your essays EARLY, give yourself enough time time to write when you really feel inspired. i started my personal statement two years before i even applied.)
Jordan-D: I’ll be attending Stetson - Full Time Spring 2026 Cohort (so my dot is probably on the wrong graph fyi). I applied for full time this fall (around March 14th, I believe) and was waitlisted. On Aug 22nd, I was informed of the opportunity for the Spring Cohort that I didn’t even know existed - for…
How you do one thing is how you do everything. No matter what happens it will work out.
**LSAT Info: ** My initial LSAT was 164, and I applied to most of these schools with that score. I applied with my Jan. score of 166 to a handful of schools I placed on hold by emailing the admissions teams after deciding to take the LSAT again, and a few new ones I picked after receiving that score. Do not be…

LSAT 165 Int'l GPA Above Average 2025–26 cycle
Admitted to Pennsylvania State - Dickinson Law
The only thing worse than getting into law school is not getting into law school
CAS updated on 2/9 with new 3.95 GPA, all decisions made after this date had this new GPA on file. Only a .01 difference so probably didn’t make a difference. Lots of leadership positions on campus, research positions & published article, regular degular on-campus job Would definitely say that I had a consistent…
The LSAT is not everything. Have Faith. Send consistent letters of continued interest (around 1 every two weeks to 1 every month) and tour the law school you want to go to multiple times. Set up meetings with the Dean, sit in on classes, and get to know the faculty. Remember you aren’t out until you are rejected, be…
Make sure you give AMPLE time to study for the LSAT. I know far too many people that barely studied and just went wherever they got in. The LSAT and your GPA are about a 50/50 split of impact. You spent 4 whole years and literally countless hours to earn your GPA, so the other 50% of your application deserves more…
Put God first! Love God & love people.
It’s easy to get tired of the cycle (I know I have), just try to remember why you wanted to go to law school in the first place and keep pushing till the end!
Good luck, everyone! We got this!
I ended up at CUNY Law and feel very much like I am in the right place for myself :) The application process is wild and I know how anxious you’re feeling if you landed on my page but I can tell you… I was terrified and as you can see, nervously applied to so many schools with my very average stats… but despite…
