Admitted to University of California—Los AngelesTry not to go insane. Study early and study hard for the LSAT. Have a rock-solid study routine. Don’t study full-time, though; losing all external structure in your life can be very destabilizing. Don’t be afraid to say no to higher-ranked schools in order to stay close to loved ones. Apply broadly. Take at least…
…about why law school is the right decision for you. Study early for the LSAT- : I gave the LSAT a whirl for the first time after only studying for 2.5 months. Not my best move. For my second test (171), I studied for 8 months. This allowed me to study less per day, but far more effectively and without getting burnt…
Take your time my friends. If you’re questioning whether you should retake the LSAT, do it. No rush to go to school. Don’t take LSAT study advice (e.g. _ hours per day for _ months). You know yourself and what works for you. Relax and build your own routine. Make LawSchoolTransparency your best friend. Pay attention…
…the beginning and so thankful it worked out. Preparation Studied for the LSAT on and off for two years, taking it twice post-LG removal. Worked on my personal statement for a year and requested LORs the spring before applying. Attended LSAC Forums (virtual one cycle early, in-person during my cycle), which helped…
…risky personal statement topic choice! Finally, I took the LSAT 3 times. 168 and 169 in back to back tests, then I took a 10 month break (6 month break and 4 months of studying) and then got my 174. **I just wanted to start off by highlighting that and saying PLEASE study for the LSAT as much as you have time and…
Start studying for the LSAT early and get books to study with. I highly recommend The Loophole in Logical Reasoning (Book by Ellen Cassidy) and Powerscore’s Logic Games Bible! The Ellen Cassidy book changed everything for me and had I started studying with both books way earlier, I would have certainly scored well…
…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’m incredibly pleased with my cycle. When I first started studying for the LSAT, I was convinced few schools, particularly those near the top of the rankings, would be interested in a 40-year old with several significant health challenges, so I applied broadly. I studied for about a year, and took the LSAT twice to…
…plus) three times a week for the year before that. Started LSAT prep in late August 2024, scored 162 in November, retook at the next available (January 2025) and scored 163. Submitted all apps in February or early March of 2025. I also submitted some panic applications in April. Results were less than ideal haha.…
Give yourself ample time for the LSAT.- I studied on and off for about a year, then kicked it into high gear and studied roughly an hour every day for about 10 months. I also took the LSAT 3 times. The exam can change the trajectory of your life, you owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. The LSAT is not an…
Track LSAT studying by counting hours. Start early. Try to prep your personal statement before Sep. 1. Stay off of Reddit. Go for walks.
…networking through campus visits and calls w/ current students definitely helped me swing a few A’s (USC, UCLA, UMich). Unless it’s HYS, always write the ‘Why X’. Make sure is personalized. If I was in admissions I would discriminate against KJDs. Joking as lots of you are incredibly intelligent, but go get that…

…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.

…probably lying through their teeth anyways. (2) Start studying for the LSAT early. If you’ve been out of school a while, you might need months or even years to get back into the swing of studying every day and taking exams.
