Here’s a summary of how I scored a 179 on the LSAT: The only service I paid for is Lawhub Advantage to access official LSAT practice tests. This is basically mandatory in my view. Other than that, I only used free resources. For LSAT strategy/mindset, I primarily learned from LSAT Demon/the Thinking LSAT podcast,…

If you are in undergrad and you know you want to go to law school, don’t graduate with a low GPA. Definitely don’t graduate with a sub-3 GPA. Ask me how I know. Just keep taking classes until you can get it up as high as you can. If you’re already out of undergrad and you fucked up and got a low GPA (especially if…
Recognize how much of a blessing it is that you can offset your four-year GPA with your two-hour LSAT score. STUDY FOR THE TEST AND TAKE PREP TESTS WEEKLY.
Went through A TON during my undergrad hence my GPA. I refuse to let it stop me and you shouldn’t either. I also had a fee wavier for all schools, hence why I applied to so many. Now wishing I didn’t….
You got this. Don’t let others define your goals or your success for you. UofO bound!

Take your peers advice with a…

Don’t stress about the timing of your application. I took the October one and was supposed to apply in November, but…
Don’t compare yourself to others. Do your best to be your best and you will be successful.
Feel free to hit me up for LEP or military background experience.
-Picking which school is harder than waiting for admission decisions -Write all the essays and make sure you do them well, not halfway and just calling it good enough -Consider how the school fits you more than anything else, because a school may be number one in rank but that doesn’t mean it’s the best for you
There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and say, “Morning boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”
