LSAT: give yourself way more time than you think you need! if you’re KJD, taking it during school really blows so (from my experience), plan to take/retake over summer. also, don’t be too hard on yourself! like most of us I’m insanely type-a and a perfectionist and not hitting that 17x killed me but we will all end…

Admitted to University of Minnesota…but i was more than happy with a 170 and wanted to apply KJD so decided to roll with it. GPA: went from 3.98 to 4.0 halfway through my cycle thanks to fall semester grades. communication-esque B.A. at a relatively prestigious public university with a minor in english lit. total of 3 ‘withdraw’ grades over 4 years of…
…lowly 166 so that’s just my two cents /s Applications As a KJD who has been working as a barista for the past 4 years, my applications aren’t anything super impressive, so I did my best to focus on my hard stats and put all my effort into my essays. I’m mostly just slightly above average so I didn’t apply to any T14…

…defense firm for a little while, but I am still a “KJD” by most standards. I didn’t have involvement in any clubs or organizations; I got some scholarships in undergrad. That is basically it for softs. At the end of the day, this process is personal. You will be better off if you focus on your own priorities rather…
…be more boring on your apps. Not so with me! If you are a KJD with similar stats to me, you are probably not getting into a T14. To say I beat the odds is an understatement. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try. Shoot your shot and see what happens, but don’t settle for mediocre results. Assume that you will…
