Attending Washington and Lee University

…that (This is for nKJDs) do not quit your full-time job to study for the LSAT. You can absolutely study for the LSAT while working! I studied and applied while working full-time. Feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt but admissions officers prefer to see you working while studying You should build your…

LSAT 173 GPA 3.27 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Virginia

…myself (below every 25th uGPA median and above every 75th LSAT median), writing really strong essays can move the needle and make you stand out from the big crowd of “very good but flawed” T14 applicants that often end up disappointed and/or stuck on perpetual waitlists. Don’t only craft your Why X essay to your top…

…gotten the best UGPA you can, THEN start focusing on LSAT. I highly recommend LSATDemon for all your studying needs. I truly think they are the clear winners for title of best LSAT study program.

LSAT 160 GPA 3.84 2022–23 cycle

Attending University of Connecticut

Just about anyone can get into law school if they put their mind to it. Setting a target LSAT score and sticking to a strict study regimen is what worked for me, even if this seems rather obvious and sounds redundant.

LSAT 162 GPA 3.99 2023–24 cycle

Attending George Washington University

My wisdom is yes, it is worth taking the LSAT again. I learned through this process that even a couple of points make a really big difference when it comes to scholarship money. So study a little harder and take it again. (◕︵◕)

LSAT 168 GPA 2.42 2021–22 cycle

Attending Washington and Lee University

A few pieces of additional information Took the LSAT once.- While I don’t wish to go into detail about my undergrad, I have 5 undergrad institutions I have on my transcript—some 240 semester units.

Attending University of North Carolina

…will help you navigate this process with less stress: The LSAT does not define who you are, nor does it define how smart you are. Once you have a score in the upper 150’s, it then becomes a game of how hard you are willing to study to get into the school you want. I wasn’t willing to put in the time to get my score…
