Admitted to William & Mary Law School…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…
…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…
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…
Notes: Do everything, (Keep good grades, study LSAT, join clubs, and get internships). I wish I kept my grades up, but having these other EC’s, helps tremendously- Try Teach For America Ignite if you don’t want to commit to a 2 year TFA contract. I have now taught/tutored in San Antonio, Texas and Tulsa, Oklahoma…
Don’t apply in March and don’t do investment banking while studying for the LSAT.
Study for the LSAT and keep your grades high
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.
Study hard for the LSAT and use NALP reports when deciding on schools.
Don’t underestimate the LSAT, just plan on studying for 6 months.
…I applied to, much less have to choose between them. Studying hard for the LSAT paid off in spades, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunities and choices I ended up with. As is evident by the list below, decisions can in some ways feel so arbitrary and certainly cannot be predicted on ranking alone;…
Take the gap year. Take 10. Study like a monster for the LSAT.
…been and will be. I do feel I short changed myself on the LSAT - had I done a bit better I believe I could’ve gotten in.- I EDd to force a decision - this was a must - I couldn’t wait until April to hear, and I also wanted to send a signal to UVA Admin. I had a UVA-specific LOR from someone who could speak to my…
LSAT: 164 (Sept. 2019) –> 169 (July 2020 Flex). Studied using 7Sage for over a year, with a few-month break in the middle for basketball season. 159 diagnostic. Attended a small liberal arts school, not prestigious. Softs: NCAA athlete but otherwise pretty common softs: Internships, PT jobs, etc. UVA’s been my dream…
The LSAT is not the SAT, spend as much time possible as you can studying for it, and you will be rewarded.
Do not be afraid of a gap year! I was so close to settling with my LSAT score and applying to schools I was less excited about. It was scary to leave the education system for the first time, but it was absolutely a positive experience, gave me time to study, and helped me save some money for law school. My outcomes…
…similar stats, invest the time and energy to improve that LSAT to 170+. It unlocks so many doors. Wish I would’ve quit my job to study full time, but life goes as it does. Also, state schools will generally lowball you if they feel like they can get away with it. UKY did it to me; UTK, UNC, etc did it to others.…
took LSAT in January 2021, graduating May 2022 (only took it once) take it more than once if you can commit yourself to studying. I couldn’t get myself to do it again, especially since my PTs consistently varied by 9 pts. write all optional essays no matter what!!!! especially if you’re a splitter like me… oh and…
