I am an applicant that felt amazing about every component outside of my LSAT score. It is still possible to get into amazing schools with a low LSAT score. Just make sure you feel strongly about every other component to overshadow it!

Admitted to University of MiamiYou should take most of your law school admissions advice from admission officers. I recommend watching admission officer’s podcasts, YouTube channels, and attending events where you can meet them and ask questions. They are the ones deciding whether you’re getting accepted or not, so you should seek and value their…
They didnt see the vision
Not breaking into the 170s was actually, in fact, not the end of the world! Be confident in your narrative and humble in your expectations and the application process will be full of happy surprises :)
God is good ALL THE TIME, he knows the plans He has for us, Plans to heal us not harm us, plans to give us hope and a future <3
Gonna write this now even though its mid-March. Don’t sleep on your essays and recommendation letters. Fit is a huge factor for these schools and you can’t really fake fit. Be yourself in every piece of writing you submit. In your PS, try to interweave multiple stories or timelines from your life to fully articulate…
This is going to be long, but I have lots of wisdom to share that I wish I knew before! LSAT Prioritize the LSAT! It’s a difficult exam, but also very learnable. Every minute and penny you invest will save you thousands in tuition, so I was happy with my decision to pay for a few hours of tutoring. Even if this…
My biggest piece of advice is to know yourself and know your story. I entered undergrad blind and thinking I wanted to pursue another career path entirely, but as I grew and prioritized knowing myself more, the path I wanted to take became clearer. How pillars of my personhood and aspects of my lived experiences…
R&R if you are not happy with your first cycle results. I only got into Temple the previous cycle and WL at 3 T-14s. I knew I could do better, so I studied for the LSAT for 3 months, got a job in the legal field, volunteered, and refined my essays. Apply as early as possible, especially if below medians. I think the…
“ Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this; when I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort that I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and…
Just a note I wanted to make for future lurkers, if any: I know my stats are not perfect. I know my LSAT is not T14 worthy. I just wanted to apply to schools that I dreamt of my whole life so that when I’m 40 & hopefully working my dream job, I don’t have any regrets of what “could’ve been”. I got fee waivers for…
Splitter Advice Apply to less schools- : if you’re hesitant about living somewhere, it might not be the right fit. Tell your story, focus on the highs- : if you spend a paragraph in an addendum describing adverse circumstances from undergrad, spend a paragraph describing how you bounced back and put yourself in a…
Take undergrad seriously! Ask for letters of rec three months before you plan to send in apps. Take frequent breaks to avoid burnout when studying for the LSAT. Get involved in extracurricular activities that aren’t academic! Write LOCIs when waitlisted if you are serious about attending a school. Wishing you the…
LSAT 163 GPA 3.76 2025–26 cycle
Admitted to University of Colorado—Boulder
be yourself, focus on your strengths, and trust that everything will workout<3 (start writing your essays EARLY, give yourself enough time time to write when you really feel inspired. i started my personal statement two years before i even applied.)
Softs matter more than you think! LSAT is important, but it’s not everything, don’t sell yourself and what you have to offer short. Also, spend time on your personal statement, it matters more than people admit

A rejection isn’t a bad thing, it helps narrow you to the place you’re meant to be
Take this whole process in parts: Figure out why you want to go to law schoolReally journal this out, get real with yourself (is it a career you have concrete reasons for thinking will be fulfilling or rewarding for you? Do not- go to law school because it’s the next thing to do or it would make [insert person]…
Cycle is complete and wow what a journey. I want to give at much information as possible to help y’all. LSAT: Started studying using Blueprint during winter break of my junior year. Got up to a 161, got a 155 on the at home LSAT in April of that same year. I really liked the Blueprint course for lives classes and a…
