LSAT 172 GPA 3.81 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Michigan

…I’m incredibly pleased with my cycle. When I first started studying for the LSAT, I was convinced few schools, particularly those near the top of the rankings, would be interested in a 40-year old with several significant health challenges, so I applied broadly. I studied for about a year, and took the LSAT twice to…

LSAT 157 GPA 3.63 2022–23 cycle

Admitted to University of Pittsburgh

…Don’t spend more money than you need to!! Research every LSAT study material that you can. I do recommend using LSAT demon though. Apply as early as you possibly can, the latest being late December since that’s when undergraduate students go on Christmas break. Visit as many schools you can, even if it just means…

…as an individual and for law school applications. Take the LSAT seriously, and study for it. Don’t just wing it. Find books and programs that work for you. don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune, just study hard. Give it the proper time. There’s always going to be someone better than you, don’t get discouraged…

LSAT 163 GPA 2.94 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Oklahoma

Use a study method that works for you. I Started with 7sage but felt that it was lacking. I switched to LSAT Demon and everything clicked.Listen to what your study program teaches but don’t be afraid to adjust It took a couple of adjustments before I felt that the test made sense. LSAT Demon (and many others) preach…

LSAT 160 GPA 3.59 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Pittsburgh

…of when I was applying (all from my sophomore year) -Took LSAT Flex in February of 2021 after 8 weeks of studying 6 hrs/week. Probably could’ve taken more time to study to get into better schools/scholarships but I really just wanted to get it out of the way more or less. -Applied to 4 reach, 4 targets, and 6 safety…

LSAT 172 GPA 3.14 2025–26 cycle

Attending University of Wisconsin

…diverse than ever. With the rise in both median GPA and LSAT, a good story, a powerful story, is more a boon than ever before. That is the way that we- all people, really- are able to differentiate themselves. Play into that. It’s going to feel odd to pick and prune at yourself. It might be painful to pull a story…

LSAT 151 GPA 3.87 2023–24 cycle

Attending University of Akron

WISDOM FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS Take this with a grain of salt since I kind of did everything but remained KJD (1) start early college students, if you have a pre law program on campus meet with the advisors sophomore year or very early junior year to let them know this is the path you want to go on and take the…
