…to prepare and respond to each question, with multiple retakes allowed. Another school asked serious interview questions in rapid succession, giving me little time to prepare and respond to each question, with no retakes allowed. Whatever you do, don’t go in unprepared. These are simple and obvious tips, especially…

Focused more on my GPA to retain Summa, hence being a bit of a reverse splitter (only took LSAT once), but I recommend this: APPLY EARLY! Some at Fordham had similar stats to me but applied a month later, to be outright rejected while I got some scholly money (renegotiate attempted and failed, but I was happy enough…

…LSAT and got a 157 and 152 respectively. I wasn’t going to retake because its expensive and I was losing hope, but I’m glad I did. I think my score boost and my LSAT addendum could have had a really good impact on my outcomes - so if you can retake, I would really think about doing so - especially in the summer/fall…

…shot maybe? Put in as much time as you can on the LSAT Retake until you’re at a score you’re happy with, or at/above medians of the schools you’re excited about. It is the best use of your time for getting into law school, and worth more than any amount of time you spend working on your personal statement (but do…

…I wasn’t confident in my ability to do much better on a retake, though in hindsight even a point or two higher might’ve made the difference at NDLS given the 170+ median they seem to be targeting this year. It’s unfortunate how focused schools are on medians, but you have to play the game if you want to win. I ended…

Consider retaking the LSAT and reapplying next cycle if you’re not happy with your results this time around. That’s what I did, and it’s worked out splendidly. :)

Don’t be afraid to apply to law schools as an older, non-traditional student with gaps in education history and/or mediocre work history! My GPA was low thanks to dropped classes and…
