LSAT 167 GPA 3.43 2021–22 cycle

Attending University of Alabama

…I applied to, much less have to choose between them. Studying hard for the LSAT paid off in spades, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities and choices I ended up with. As is evident by the list below, decisions can in some ways feel so arbitrary and certainly cannot be predicted on ranking alone;…

LSAT 175 GPA 4.01 2025–26 cycle

Attending University of Chicago

LSAT Demon is the way to go. Began studying in May, took the exam once in August, got my score, was done. Don’t just use the platform, listen to the podcasts & do it their way. I also talked to people from as many law schools as I could. I think this signaled strong interest in schools and helped me tailor my Why X…

LSAT 169 GPA 3.83 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Wisconsin

LSAT Diagnostic: 150 (+19 increase in 4 months of studying) I worked full-time, so I used 7sage, studied for about 1-2 hours a day 5 days a week.

Take the LSAT more than once (I assumed a 163 would get me the scholarship and schools I preferred) –> Study for at least three months (Not two weeks like I did) 3.) Use LSAT prep courses. You will get the money back via…

Attending University of Minnesota

…addition to 1 CAS fee waiver for participating in an LSAC study Submitted nearly all apps on or around 10/10, but decided to take November LSAT - reached out to schools that did not have a stated LSAT hold policy (UT, Stanford, DePaul) and didn’t do anything else for schools with policies (Wisconsin, LUC, UIUC) SIDE…

LSAT 160 GPA 3.23 2024–25 cycle

Attending University of Tennessee

…contacted adcom with questions and did a meeting with a student ambassador. I put all my effort into this application. 12/04/2024 app updates “review is complete and decision is pending” then I went back under review so feeling pretty cooked on this one. 12/18/2024 I went back to “review is complete and decision is…

LSAT 160 GPA 3.79 2021–22 cycle

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…
