…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…

Admitted to Washington and Lee University…the road of applications. I feel like I owe this to any student who is in the same boat as I was when I graduated college. Advice if you have a GPA like mine: Throw your life at the LSAT- . I studied 4-6 Hours almost every single day for about 5 months. I took it the first time and didn’t receive the score I wanted,…
…(NYU/UCLA), I did not get in. I only attended two Admitted Student Weekends. I let my parents talk me out of attending ASWs for schools that weren’t at the top of my list, which I regret. Part of why I chose Northwestern over Vanderbilt was that I felt very different vibes from these weekends, and though I enjoyed…
…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. I only used them for a couple months and increased my LSAT score by 10 points. I only wish I had used them from the…
I started this process in February of 2020. I studied for the LSAT for about 6 months (about 2 months of serious study and 4 months of occasionally taking a PT) and went from a 156 to a 167 using only 7sage PTs and free stuff from Khan Academy. It has been a long time coming, but I am glad I did things the way I…
Military paralegal with 10 years’ service, first degree GPA of 2.4 from 2012 and second degree GPA of 3.8 from 2022. I took the LSAT in 2009 and received a score of 159, and after a year of study while working, I took it again in 2021 with a score of 168. I genuinely feel that if I had continued my LSAT studies, I…
…located in NC (where I want to practice), small student population (for both law & undergrad), near a medium-sized city, many opportunities for students pursuing corporate law, student life/environment has a good reputation, etc. LSAT Tips: Start studying at least 3 months before the test, take several practice…
…the world is way more important than this. A point on the lsat, .1 GPA difference, all meaningless once you leave this small claustrophobic bubble. Applied in 2018 as senior in college 155 (cold), 4.0. WLed everywhere (from BU to PSU), studied for lsat got 161 (PTed at 165 but they say +/- 4 pts), did Peace Corps…
Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
-Only 5 weeks to study for LSAT, taken only once -Biology BS (3.29) to Biology PhD but dropped after one year (3.885) -My C&F was a very minor traffic ticket that was only reported to a few schools based on guidelines -Email schools for waivers. The worst they say is no (or not respond)! I was able to solicit…
…ridiculous sometimes. Just do the best you can, take the LSAT as many times as it takes to get a 170+, and lean into your softs. I don’t have any family members or friends in law, and had no idea what I was doing when I applied. I was just very candid and transparent in my application, and studied for the LSAT for…
Spend more time studying for the LSAT. Consume your life with it. Be a paralegal, legal assistant or get a legal related job to see if you want to be a lawyer.
R&R if you are not happy with your first cycle results. I only got into Temple the previous cycle and WL at 3 T-14s. I knew I could do better, so I studied for the LSAT for 3 months, got a job in the legal field, volunteered, and refined my essays. Apply as early as possible, especially if below medians. I think the…
unconventional PS discussing character and fitness issue as reason for wanting to become a lawyer. my advice? besides high lsat and a good gpa, take risks with your application. be memorable, have a genuine reason for wanting to go to ls and communicate that passionately and clearly. i think my ps got me into places…
Start studying WAY before your LSAT! I only gave myself ~3 months, which was not nearly enough. Take it multiple times. I recommend taking it once early on in the process to get the test jitters out/down and then retaking later once you have a consistent PT score. Request Fee Waivers! Most schools give them out, so…
Your story matters. Get a higher LSAT than me. Start studying earlier than me. You know what you have to do.
…because I was so worried about getting letters. I studied full time for the lsat which I think helped. My hubby is in Boston but living in H town would be a dream. ExcitedDuck out ~~~~ good luck future Juris Doctors! anyone who says you aren’t good enough is a quack
