Took the LSAT three times: 156->166->164 (ugh) Went into this cycle with NU as my top choice, so it’s honestly surreal that I’ll be attending next year with $$. As a reverse splitter, I couldn’t be happier with how my cycle played out. I didn’t apply to the rest of the t-14 because I wasn’t entirely happy with my…

Admitted to Washington University in St. Louis…for me. II. Biggest Piece of Advice: Do not F*CK with the LSAT Took the LSAT 5 times, and improved my score on the final attempt. 152 –> 167 –> 163 –> 165 –> 168 The LSAT is a part time job that needs to invade your daily habits. You need to be practicing well above what your “goal” score is. For me – I was able to…
LSAT Studying: I used 7sage and supplemented with the PowerScore Bibles. After my first LSAT (171), I used the Loophole which took me from -4ish LR to -1ish, also helped my RC. Most helpful of all, about a month before my first LSAT I found an online study group. We BR’d PTs together. Having to explain my reasoning…
…those six months were filled with a ridiculous amount of LSAT studying and application writing. At the time I felt honored and I am still honored today to be able to say that I was selected as a part of YLS’s class of 2026, paid for by the Funded Law Education Program. This was and still is truly unbelievable having…
…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…
…the beginning and so thankful it worked out. Preparation Studied for the LSAT on and off for two years, taking it twice post-LG removal. Worked on my personal statement for a year and requested LORs the spring before applying. Attended LSAC Forums (virtual one cycle early, in-person during my cycle), which helped…
Read ABA 509 reports to make informed decisions on your application and scholarship process: https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx LSATs: 170 > 171 > 179 (studied with the LSAT Demon, wouldn’t recommend anything else). In retrospect I should have explained this score jump with an addendum…
…risky personal statement topic choice! Finally, I took the LSAT 3 times. 168 and 169 in back to back tests, then I took a 10 month break (6 month break and 4 months of studying) and then got my 174. **I just wanted to start off by highlighting that and saying PLEASE study for the LSAT as much as you have time and…
I am an LSAT Tutor & I review application essays; my DMs are open. If you want to learn more about my study methods, essays, or work with me feel free to reach out! LSAT: I studied for a whole year before the taking the LSAT. The first 3 or so months were chill just learning concepts, then I focused more on drilling…
Long recap below ordered by: Biographical, LSAT, Softs, PS, Applications. Summary: Had inconsistent results, but such is the life of a splitter. Apply broadly, study as hard as you can for the LSAT, and emphasize how you’ll fit into a school. I thought I was more likely to get into Cornell than UMich or NW, so 1.)…
please take the LSAT seriously. it is one of the most important factors in decisions. it will open so many doors and will lead to a less anxiety-inducing cycle. trust me…i saw this in real time. watching applicants get auto-admitted with a 169+ was so scary for me. do not apply until you get the absolute highest…
I studied using exclusively LSAT Demon and JurisPrep (one more for the software, the other for an LSAT class). These and getting as much feedback as possible on how you present yourself to schools is what matters!
…should invest as much time as you can in achieving a high LSAT score (novel idea, I know). Seriously though, it’s always hard to talk about improving GPA and other softs, as everyone’s circumstances are different. But LSAT studying is something that I think everyone should really try to carve out at least a solid…
…my thesis committee, and are my biggest cheerleaders. Self-studied for the LSAT with a couple PT books and Khan Academy. 167 –> 175 two months later, both in 2019. Drill-based studying in short bursts 4-5 days a week with <10 timed PTs. Consistency won; you can’t cram for a skills-based test. What helped: Dean Z’s…
…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…

…and it was the absolute rock bottom moment of my life. The LSAT and law school gave me a goal and a vision to strive for. A way to better my life and achieve what I thought I was capable of. I had been humbled beyond belief, but I was not out of it yet. I ended my relationship and entered into a training montage of…
Take undergrad seriously! Ask for letters of rec three months before you plan to send in apps. Take frequent breaks to avoid burnout when studying for the LSAT. Get involved in extracurricular activities that aren’t academic! Write LOCIs when waitlisted if you are serious about attending a school. Wishing you the…
