…for me. II. Biggest Piece of Advice: Do not F*CK with the LSAT Took the LSAT 5 times, and improved my score on the final attempt. 152 –> 167 –> 163 –> 165 –> 168 The LSAT is a part time job that needs to invade your daily habits. You need to be practicing well above what your “goal” score is. For me – I was able to…

Admitted to University of California—IrvineT3.5 (LGBT+). Did my undergrad in engineering at a good state school in a state I didn’t live in. Texas resident (CAP sucks) Studied for the LSAT for 2 months. First diagnostic was a 163, ended at a consistent 175. I used Mike Kim’s LSAT Trainer and about 1.5 dozen PTs to study. Had bad test anxiety and stress…
Give yourself LOTS of time to study for the LSAT. I started studying a full year before I planned on submitting my applications, and it took me approx. 400 hours of studying spread out over 8 months for me to be happy with my score. Especially if your GPA is below the medians of the schools you’re applying to (like…
TIPS: (I’m obviously not an admissions officer, so take these with a grain of salt; this is just what I felt helped me) When studying for the LSAT, don’t be afraid to take breaks! Especially if you’re studying a lot during a short period of time (e.g., 3-4 months of consecutive studying instead of 1 year of on and…
…to 0). I think this came down to two factors: **My LSAT performance: **I spent about three months actively studying for the LSAT for the fifth and final time. I took the LSAT in September and due to some technical difficulties, scheduled it a few weeks later. I scored a few points below my average by that stage (not…
…should invest as much time as you can in achieving a high LSAT score (novel idea, I know). Seriously though, it’s always hard to talk about improving GPA and other softs, as everyone’s circumstances are different. But LSAT studying is something that I think everyone should really try to carve out at least a solid…
…ridiculous sometimes. Just do the best you can, take the LSAT as many times as it takes to get a 170+, and lean into your softs. I don’t have any family members or friends in law, and had no idea what I was doing when I applied. I was just very candid and transparent in my application, and studied for the LSAT for…
…not just the freshman attitude “I dont wanna be a snitch”. LSAT: A huge limiting factor to my application. Study hard with purpose. It teaches you the interworkings of how to think for law school. Don’t see it as a chore, but also do not let it eat you and take away your entire life. Once it starts hurting your core…
Very grateful for my cycle and results. I cannot recommend enough retaking the lsat even when you don’t want to, and studying differently if you weren’t thrilled with your initial results. If it is possible for you to work w someone 1:1, do it. LG was my biggest struggle (would’ve probably had a much easier time if…
…addition to 1 CAS fee waiver for participating in an LSAC study Submitted nearly all apps on or around 10/10, but decided to take November LSAT - reached out to schools that did not have a stated LSAT hold policy (UT, Stanford, DePaul) and didn’t do anything else for schools with policies (Wisconsin, LUC, UIUC) SIDE…
…probably several. Take another cycle if you must, a better LSAT is one of the only things in your control after you’re out of college. Please do your homework. College is fun, study whatever you want but just do your homework and get the grades. Don’t settle :)
Take as much time as you need for the LSAT, start very early or reapply if you can/need to, and have faith in yourself! Only take the LSAT once you are getting practice scores that you would be happy with as official scores!!!!! ««< Good luck! **Harvard Interview: ** I am one of the few people who got rejected from…
