Attending Texas A&M University

…Mary” school, and I knew that it would be a reach with my LSAT score. Even though I was a little bit disappointed since UT Austin is my state public flagship university, I am grateful that I was not outright rejected, and I fully intend to ride the waitlist. Pennsylvania State University - Result: Acceptance.…

LSAT 168 GPA 2.89 2023–24 cycle

Attending George Mason University

…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…

LSAT 167 GPA 3.89 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Iowa

I started this process in February of 2020. I studied for the LSAT for about 6 months (about 2 months of serious study and 4 months of occasionally taking a PT) and went from a 156 to a 167 using only 7sage PTs and free stuff from Khan Academy. It has been a long time coming, but I am glad I did things the way I…

LSAT 163 GPA 3.68 2020–21 cycle

Attending University of Iowa

For what it’s worth… Applying to law school in the year of Covid has been stressful and unpredictable. Will next year be as competitive? IMO yes. LSAT Flex has increased averages and with so many applicants applying due to Covid/economy there will be deferrals. Apply as early in September as possible. Non 170+…

LSAT 163 GPA 3.86 2020–21 cycle

Admitted to University of Minnesota

I started this cycle knowing much less about the application process than I did by the time I got my final decision. Biggest things I learned: Study your ass off for the LSAT and apply broadly! I am happy with attending Wisconsin and staying on Michigan’s WL, but am planning on retaking the LSAT in June - if I score…

LSAT 165 GPA 3.59 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Colorado—Boulder

…was a pain in the fucking ass. Being smart enough to study a few months and get a 165 LSAT (88-90 percentile score) SHOULD mean easy admission to many T50 schools, but it’s not good enough anymore. Ban using CumGPA in law school admissions.

LSAT 169 GPA 3.83 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Wisconsin

LSAT Diagnostic: 150 (+19 increase in 4 months of studying) I worked full-time, so I used 7sage, studied for about 1-2 hours a day 5 days a week. Took PTs once a week, then twice a week as test date got closer I recommend stopping drilling and only taking tests at some point, I find over drilling can make you begin…

Attending Washington University in St. Louis

Goals: Big law in Chicago or BostonLSAT: 1st diagnostic in June of 2024: 157- Studied using 7Sage and PT scores ranged from 159-168 Aug LSAT 159 -> Sep LSAT 165 (highly recommend retaking if you have test anxiety like me!) LORS: 1 from college professor and 1 from current work supervisor (attorney)- Request these…

LSAT 166 GPA 3.87 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign

I’ve enjoyed seeing what other people have written here when they do write something so I figured I’d give my advice (LSAT/apps/essays) to the wind for anyone willing to read it: LSAT My diagnostic was 152, ended up with a 166 after studying for like a month lol. You can get a lot out of free content if you don’t…

LSAT 168 GPA 3.96 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

I entered the 21-22 application cycle a little unsure about my August LSAT score and whether applying with a 168 would enable me to accomplish my goals. After considering retaking the LSAT, I ultimately decided against it because I did not believe I’d be able to successfully study for the exam during the school year…
