Don’t check your email everyday for decisions…just relax because this is to stressful anyways.
You’ve already achieved goals you said would make you happy.
Use your softs wisely. I am 100% convinced my scholarship money came from my softs, I used my personal statement to explain my low GPA (mom had leukemia throughout my undergrad) but I explained how this made me stronger, more focused, and taught me how to overcome adversity. For schools where my GPA was below the…

My LSAT is booty, I know. I wrote addenda for each application that I could explaining my situation. Long story short, I broke my neck and had to undergo surgery in between my October test (151) and my rescheduled February exam. I applied this cycle just to see how it would go, always knowing that I might have to…
Hi everyone! My name is Anna. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Political Communication and a Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing. After graduating, I worked as a paralegal full-time at a personal injury law firm. I took the LSAT in August 2024 and…

Apply early and to as many schools as feasible to give yourself options! You never know what could happen if you are not willing to take a risk and apply to some reach schools. Do not be afraid to take the LSAT more than once if you know that you can do better and increase your score. Be genuine and tell your story…
My advice for the future generations reading this is: don’t worry about anything; you’ll be fine! 3-28-23 Update: 147 OG score when applications were sent out in late March, then 157 on the June LSAT. I only notified four schools (from which I was previously denied) of my new score. I emailed LSU and Ole Miss, which…
Get your materials ready ASAP. I got mine ready to apply in the previous cycle, realized I would get no scholarship money so I waited for the next cycle since I had the ability to do so fortunately. With that I definitely feel it has benefitted me in the scholarship department. Also really think about where you…
Took June & October 2023 LSAT. Both were not my goal score, but I still applied to all law schools listed below. Ultimately decided to retake the exam one more time & did significantly better on the February of 2024 LSAT. I hope this is helpful to those who are discouraged or worried about taking the LSAT one last…
You + me both need to stop obsessively checking this and reddit; they’ll get to us when they get to us.
Your score does not define you, your persistence and effort does.
You miss 100% of the shots you do not take.
I submitted my application to SMU by the early decision deadline of November 15th. I heard back on November 19th that my application was rolled over to regular admissions.
If you’re going through hell, keep going
Fervently chase your goals. You should never be the first one to tell yourself “no”.
In life, always play the long game, even if you have to wait a year and spend more time studying.
