Applying during the 2024-2025 cycle. Currently in grad school and will update throughout the year. Used fee waivers for all application fees and all but 10 CAS fees. Did not negotiate with any school since most got back to me after I was happy with other offers.

Admitted to Western New England UniversityTrust Jesus and ask him to be in your life! He will get you into your dream school and He got me into Harvard law. It was my dream for years, and it was an impossible, unreachable, depressing, and unrealistic goal. But if He is truly God, then the impossible for us is simply nothing for him. Ask him to show you…
Be prepared to have LOCI and email schools a bunch!!! As soon as you get admission results, send them to all of your other schools in a detailed email stating that if accepted (and given a scholarship of the same amount or more), you will drop everything and attend. Make sure to have some work experience if your…
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
If you have a top choice, let them know. Write a tailored personal statement and/or an optional essay to convey “Why (them)”. You’d be surprised how far expressing interest can take you. Informal Interviews are often overlooked but awesome opportunities to humanize yourself and your application. To my fellow…
Do note that I have estimated certain scholarship figures when not awarded as a numerical sum. In cases of a “full tuition” or proportional scholarship, I assumed a 5% increase in all costs per year. You may have noticed that I received a particularly high number of CAS report fee waivers. This was in part due to my…
godspeed brothers i’m tired
Do your best and work hard!!! From my experience while working in big law at a top 100 firm that deals with Bankruptcy, tax, international contracts and real estate from what new associates and seasoned attorneys have told me; the school you attend nowadays does not matter as much as it did 10 years ago. It is your…
I am a human Leatherman multi-tool: I can do a lot of things, yet I have mastered none. Law school to me is like jail- a situation where I will have no choice but to focus on one thing for 3 years. Please, do not fall into the trap that is the woman in the red dress/ shiny object syndrome, just because something is…
LSAT wisdom: start studying before you think you need to start studying- don’t sign up to take a test until you’re ready signing up before you’re ready will not get you motivated to study more than you already are – so don’t do it learn the fundamentals and then drill, drill, drill be consistent, not perfect try to…
LSAT 155 GPA 2.80 2025–26 cycle
Attending (Part-time) University of Dayton
I took the JD Next and got a 765, which was the 72nd percentile in my cohort. I didn’t do so well during my first two years in community college due to homelessness, so I got a 2.1 gpa. When I transferred to FIU, I did much better and graduated with a 3.65 gpa, cum laude. Unfortunately, LSAC rounded my gpa to a 2.8…
LSAT 153 GPA 3.45 2025–26 cycle
Admitted to University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
I wish that I had been more confident in the schools that I had applied to, and that it is actually worthwhile to study for the LSAT FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. I took it without studying and regretted it after seeing how much others had improved because of how much time they had studied.
dont crash ur car before ur lsat!
My wife became sick so I had to drop out after my university withdrawl date to take care of her, and I was rejected a medical hardship form. This tanked my GPA. I’m grateful I managed to find a school, but if you’re reading this, your GPA matters, make sure its as high as possible before applying. If you dont have a…

I graduated with an MPA from a top university with a 3.86 in August 2020 where I also received a full-ride scholarship. This experience and my active volunteering and being an activist in the community have increased my chances of getting accepted into law school with a low LSAT Score.
