if i could do it again, i would apply to fewer schools. i also wouldn’t retake the lsat - i took it a second time and scored lower. retaking is generally a good idea, but i didn’t set myself up for success to score higher by retaking it during the same semester i was taking 19 credits and writing my app materials.…

Admitted to University of Southern CaliforniaStats are 90% of what matters. At non t14s, they’re 100% of what matters. My LSAC GPA was significantly worse than my transcript GPA because I had to retake a class that I sorta quit on my freshman year (oops). This absolutely hurt my cycle, maybe more for scholarship amounts than for acceptances. Essays and resume…
…go to. If you are considering reapplying, PLEASE consider retaking your LSAT if you think you can improve. I know the test is dumb, but my biggest regret from reapplying is that I didn’t retake the LSAT. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CYCLE!!! Below is a comparison of my results from each cycle: Stanford: 2020-21: Rejected…
Very grateful for my cycle and results. I cannot recommend enough retaking the lsat even when you don’t want to, and studying differently if you weren’t thrilled with your initial results. If it is possible for you to work w someone 1:1, do it. LG was my biggest struggle (would’ve probably had a much easier time if…
…about my goals and where I wanted to end up. Decided to retake just to see if I still had some left in the tank. Got a 171, which is still somehow borderline for T-14, but Reddit + LSD helped me see that it was worthing giving it another shot! This year’s stats: LSAT: 171 CAS CPA: 3.84 Work Experience: 3ish years -…
…took every single one twice and feel like blind review and retakes helped me understand the mechanics of the LSAT significantly better School Specifics: GULC - I made a “top tens” video which I think shone a little more light on my personality not reflected in my application, in the group interview I made a point to…
…your greatness. viva la raza! To my R&R buddies: If you retake, do not be hard on yourself. I retook and got into so many more schools the second time around. You have options, you can achieve great things with more time and knowledge! Make sure to alter your PS if reapplying to same schools. Attending USC! Fight…
…NYU after NYU hold. LSAC GPA was slightly lower than uGPA. Retake the LSAT if you need to, apply early if you can. Good luck! You’ll do great!
Jan. 2021 LSAT Flex (considered retaking, as I would like to minimize debt - however, I told myself that I would be satisfied with a 170+ before going into the test and felt that I should maintain that perspective. My PT average over the 12 or so tests that I took leading up to the January administration was a 171,…
Reapplicant (did not retake LSAT) from previous cycle. Accepted ED at USC so I’ll be going there. Bless.
…accepted nowhere, and have c&f issues: Shoot your shot! Retake the LSAT if you need to, don’t give up!
Retake the LSAT if you need to - don’t be afraid to reapply while gaining work exp. ⭐️‼️
…those grades then will not affect you in law school. Retake if you know you can score better. I retook a 172 to get my 178 because I knew that WashU was my best bet. With a 172 I would not have gotten in, with a 178 I could have attended for nearly free. If you’re shooting for the T14 with a sub 25ths GPA you should…
…and realistic about the chances, there’s no need to retake. I wrote a 2-page PS and 1-page DS for all schools. I had 3 LORs: 2 academic and 1 work. If the school offered me interview opportunities I always accepted them. I also did the following supplemental essays: Yale: Yale 250- Stanford: Short Essay about Music…
