LSAT 145 GPA 3.51 2021–22 cycle

Attending Wake Forest University

Overview: I came into the cycle hopeful about my softs, but honestly, they only care about numbers lol >.<!! So, if you can, definitely retake the LSAT (preferably 160 and up) or win competitive scholarships [i.e., MMSP, Mcdonnell, Earl Warren, SEO Law, etc.]. Don’t get me wrong; I was super proud of myself for…

LSAT 173 GPA 3.27 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Virginia

…intensive LSAT study, 15-20 hours per week. If you have to retake it, retake it: if you have a 3.3, the difference between a 167 and a 171 is astronomical. I would highly recommend working part-time to give studying the proper amount of time, focus, and energy, even if it means taking out a loan or moving back in…

LSAT 166 GPA 2.55 2024–25 cycle

Admitted to William & Mary Law School

…166 regularly. In another world, I would keep studying and retake to reflect my PT potential. I went from a diagnostic of 154 to 166 in about 2 months of consistent studying with 7Sage, Khan Academy and a private tutor. I was putting in about 5-10 hours a week studying and PTing. I also worked full time and…

LSAT 164 GPA 3.60 2024–25 cycle

Attending Tulane University

…hopefully this year is better than last! i decided to retake the LSAT after totally failing in the last admissions cycle (if you want proof go stalk @mindlesswirygoblin) but my lsat before was a 158. lets hope for the best! for the extra neurotic people, here’s some bonus info: umiami **WL -> A (9pm est) -…
