…that (This is for nKJDs) do not quit your full-time job to study for the LSAT. You can absolutely study for the LSAT while working! I studied and applied while working full-time. Feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt but admissions officers prefer to see you working while studying You should build your…

Admitted to Temple UniversityMy $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 Studying: I used 7sage and supplemented with the PowerScore Bibles. After my first LSAT (171), I used the Loophole which took me from -4ish LR to -1ish, also helped my RC. Most helpful of all, about a month before my first LSAT I found an online study group. We BR’d PTs together. Having to explain my reasoning…
…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.…
LSAT: Began studying for the LSAT in December 2020 after making a mid covid decision to pivot from Music into Law. was PT’ing 164-166, until I hit the 80’s then dropped to low 160’s high 150’s. Took the LSAT in June 2021 and decided to settle with my 162. I’m almost 30 and have a background in Cello Performance and…
…from the application deadline, this might mean beginning studying for the LSAT sooner! I took the LSAT 3 times to achieve my 177 (a total of 7 months of studying from March–my diagnostic was 155, I got a 163 on the June LSAT, a 170 in August, and a 177 in October), but this meant the earliest I could submit…
…who land on this page :) Good luck everyone!!! Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex - scored a 157 after studying since October 2020. I started working a full-time job in July 2020 and probably did not put as much time into my studying during the fourth quarter (Sept-Dec) as I should have. After taking the Jan. 2021, I took the…
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.
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
-Only 5 weeks to study for LSAT, taken only once -Biology BS (3.29) to Biology PhD but dropped after one year (3.885) -My C&F was a very minor traffic ticket that was only reported to a few schools based on guidelines -Email schools for waivers. The worst they say is no (or not respond)! I was able to solicit…
…while working full time (40+ hour weeks), id spend a year studying for lsat, and then the next year, visit schools and write essays and apply that cycle very much sure of which schools I wanted and why. I think if I’d not let myself be pressured by others or my own expectations as far as timeline, if I could do it…
Start studying for the lsat 2 months before you think you should. Reach out to LORs in the spring before apps open and get them in LSAC by September. Utilize your university writing center; it is their job to help you start/fix your essays. You got this!! You will get into school.
Give yourself time to study for the LSAT and use that time wisely. Don’t get lost in trying to find the best prep course. Indecision is more costly than wrong decision. Spend time drilling then drill some more - that’s how you learn. Think your life is boring and there’s nothing to write about? Wrong. There is only…
…from schools. I did not have the opportunity to study for the LSAT, as I have been in and out of homelessness since beginning this process in 2022. I could have done better, and probably should have tried; but, by the time I realized what a difference it would make, this was no longer an option. It would have meant…
Start studying WAY before your LSAT! I only gave myself ~3 months, which was not nearly enough. Take it multiple times. I recommend taking it once early on in the process to get the test jitters out/down and then retaking later once you have a consistent PT score. Request Fee Waivers! Most schools give them out, so…
Do everything early. Start studying early, take your LSAT at an earlier administration than you need to, start writing early, submit your applications early. Don’t feel like you have to do law-related work to seem qualified. My work was only tangentially law-related, but was pretty unique and related clearly to a…
Pace yourself as you study. There can be diminishing returns if LSAT prep takes over your time and headspace. When it comes time to choose, stay rooted in what makes sense for you. Don’t read too much into other people’s results. Be clear and personal about your “why law” and “why now.”
…was a pain in the fucking ass. Being smart enough to study a few months and get a 165 LSAT (88-90 percentile score) SHOULD mean easy admission to many T50 schools, but it’s not good enough anymore. Ban using CumGPA in law school admissions.
