I got in because I had absolutely amazing LOR’s from nationally known advocacy groups. These were people I worked with and who know me extremely well– not just people who know me in passing.

Admitted to Touro CollegeApplied late in Feb to most schools with my Jan LSAT score of a 153. After getting rejected by 4 schools within 2 weeks, I kept the rest of my apps on hold until the April LSAT score was released (4/30/25).

Strong work experience (legal and non-legal), LORs, and PS
