…on a website called Wyzant. I would suggest only getting a personalized tutor at the end, when you are in need of fine polishing. This option is not as systematic as a formal program, and not as comprehensive as 7Sage. Tutors can also be very expensive. By the time I finished with my tutor, I was consistently in the…

Admitted to University of Oregon…can afford the hit to their GPA median, B) like you as a person based on your application, and C) need/could use your LSAT to boost their median. (A), above, is why you should expect to wait to hear from your targets/reaches- . They can’t afford to risk their medians by admitting you early, and will generally only…
If you are a splitter, apply as soon as possible. I applied in Oct but should have applied in September but was lazy. I also had subpar personal statements (if you are non-trad, focus on Why Law? and Why Now?). I shouldn’t have wasted my ED on Berk as I knew I wouldn’t get in, but it was my top choice as a Bay Area…
Be honest on your personal statement, but also be cognizant of what they’re looking for.
…proofread.- Then get someone else to proofread your resume/personal statement/any other writing that is required.

You break it…

Got better results but still not as good as I would have with the goal that I didn’t reach. Felt defeated AGAIN. Visited PS-Dickinson and now feel…
Below both medians for both UO and DU. Strong softs, LORs, and personal statement connecting to Why Law. Highly encourage applicants to get work experience and build connections in the legal industry of the city you wish to reside in. I truly believe having that boosted my application this time around as a…
Filled out all application materials/essays. Took about three months to write my personal statement myself.
PI-based personal statement with 5 years experience in the legal field. Minor CF issues from teens. Dean’s list, honor societies in undergrad. The LSAT is my nemesis. Chose the worst possible time to R&R. Slowly losing my mind with the waiting.
…apply early, and don’t forget to do your best on your Personal Statement - yes, it matters! Waitlist tips: If you can, hold on to your waitlist for as long as possible if you know you really want to go there (and can make it there on short notice). Sometimes it’s small, but there’s always a chance that you could get…
