Admitted to University of Illinois—Urbana Champaignwas PTing at 169-174, but got an absolute monster of a games section on my second official, and thus I got a 166. Pretty unhappy with that score. May retake in April if no solid acceptances by then. UPDATE - 11/30/2023 - going to apply to a couple schools but likely a retake in February and then rinse and repeat for…
…I wasn’t confident in my ability to do much better on a retake, though in hindsight even a point or two higher might’ve made the difference at NDLS given the 170+ median they seem to be targeting this year. It’s unfortunate how focused schools are on medians, but you have to play the game if you want to win. I ended…

Decided to retake the LSAT and reapply after not getting the results I wanted last year. Seems to have turned out for the better! Last year’s results below… https://imgur.com/a/K4JI9lL
…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 far in advance, as I didn’t receive one letter until October which delayed applications Interviews: Virtual submissions for…
…of years worked). If you *really need *a T14, definitely retake the LSAT until you are in the low 170s minimum and consider reapplying next cycle if you don’t get there by Halloween. With the new test format and competitiveness of law school admissions in general, it’s only going to get harder to get into T14s and…
