LSAT 164 GPA 3.40 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Maryland

I went to Maryland Law for my 1L year (2022-2023) and then transferred doing the early decision program to Georgetown for 2L/3L (2023-2025). I had a 3.8ish GPA from Maryland (top 15% or so) when I applied to transfer. I got into Georgetown and GW as a transfer student! Go Hoyas 🐾💙🤪

LSAT 169 GPA 3.67 2025–26 cycle

Attending Ohio State University

Everyone says this, but APPLY EARLY. September/October. I think application timing materially affected my outcomes at OSU, FSU, and Iowa. Get em in by Halloween and you’ll also have most decisions back by Jan.

It should not take 4+ months to make a decision on my application AdComs. Employment statistics are a myth we’re all just killing time until the…

LSAT 165 GPA 3.52 2021–22 cycle

Attending American University

I recommend studying at least 6 months for the LSAT, and like, really studying. If I could do it over, I would have studied all winter/spring and taken it early in the summer. That way you can retake it in late summer/early fall if necessary, and still apply relatively early in the cycle. I would also start jotting…

LSAT 179 GPA 3.85 2023–24 cycle

Attending Northwestern University

Read ABA 509 reports to make informed decisions on your application and scholarship process: https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx LSATs: 170 > 171 > 179 (studied with the LSAT Demon, wouldn’t recommend anything else). In retrospect I should have explained this score jump with an addendum…
