LSAT 168 GPA 2.90 2024–25 cycle

Attending Washington and Lee University

…the road of applications. I feel like I owe this to any student who is in the same boat as I was when I graduated college. Advice if you have a GPA like mine: Throw your life at the LSAT- .

I studied on/off for about a year and then more intensively during spring 2020 with the Covid lockdowns. I was hitting -0 on logic games, but I was equally bad at…
