Things I learned: Additional essays probably help. I didn’t write anything besides my resume and personal statement. - Studying for the LSAT for a month isn’t enough to get full potential, take it before November and start studying earlier Submit applications early or you are at a disadvantage when applying (do it…

Admitted to University of Alabama…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…
Make sure you give AMPLE time to study for the LSAT. I know far too many people that barely studied and just went wherever they got in. The LSAT and your GPA are about a 50/50 split of impact. You spent 4 whole years and literally countless hours to earn your GPA, so the other 50% of your application deserves more…
…those six months were filled with a ridiculous amount of LSAT studying and application writing. At the time I felt honored and I am still honored today to be able to say that I was selected as a part of YLS’s class of 2026, paid for by the Funded Law Education Program. This was and still is truly unbelievable having…
…myself (below every 25th uGPA median and above every 75th LSAT median), writing really strong essays can move the needle and make you stand out from the big crowd of “very good but flawed” T14 applicants that often end up disappointed and/or stuck on perpetual waitlists. Don’t only craft your Why X essay to your top…
…gotten the best UGPA you can, THEN start focusing on LSAT. I highly recommend LSATDemon for all your studying needs. I truly think they are the clear winners for title of best LSAT study program. I only used them for a couple months and increased my LSAT score by 10 points. I only wish I had used them from the…

Long recap below ordered by: Biographical, LSAT, Softs, PS, Applications. Summary: Had inconsistent results, but such is the life of a splitter. Apply broadly, study as hard as you can for the LSAT, and emphasize how you’ll fit into a school. I thought I was more likely to get into Cornell than UMich or NW, so 1.)…
DISCLAIMER: I AM GOING TO SOUND VERY NITPICKY ABOUT MY APPLICATION, GPA, AND LSAT IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION. I AM CONTENT WITH MY OUTCOME AT THE END OF THE CYCLE. THIS IS JUST WHAT I WOULD TELL MYSELF ON HOW TO IMPROVE MY OUTCOMES IF I WERE TO GO BACK IN TIME. **Study hard for the LSAT. Like, take the amount of time…

LSAT June 2022 168 -> November 2022 170. I spent about 5 months on total studying for the LSAT. Started out at a 154 diagnostic. I only used 7Sage and took around 30 PTs total. Personal Statement Objectively I’d say my personal statement was around a 6/10. I feel that it was fairly well written, but the narrative…

The worst they say is no (or not respond)! I was able to solicit…

Do your very best in undergrad. Once your GPA is finalized, that’s it. Also, take your time studying for the LSAT. Do not take the test until you are absolutely ready.
Start studying for the lsat earlier!
…I applied to, much less have to choose between them. Studying hard for the LSAT paid off in spades, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities and choices I ended up with. As is evident by the list below, decisions can in some ways feel so arbitrary and certainly cannot be predicted on ranking alone;…
…I wasn’t feeling confident so I signed up for the self study 7sage in 11/2020. I sat for 01/2021 LSAT and landed a 156. I took a month break and then signed up for 8 weeks of tutoring leading up to the April 2021 LSAT. With my 15 sessions with Kerry (LSAT Maven/ElleSAT tutoring) I landed a 169. They also helped me…
