…I have gathered thus far, and I wish you the best of luck. LSAT PREP: I know a 161 is not the highest score ever, but I improved from a 151 cold diagnostic score to a 161 test day score with roughly 4-5 weeks of study. My best advice is find a study platform/method that just clicks with you. I started out watching…

…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…
Things I learned: Additional essays probably help. I didn’t write anything besides my resume and personal statement. - Studying for the LSAT for a month isn’t enough to get full potential, take it before November and start studying earlier Submit applications early or you are at a disadvantage when applying (do it…
…expensive, but you’ll regret not spending the money on LSAT prep/taking the LSAT multiple times/applications to additional schools. I only studied for the LSAT for about a week before taking it. That definitely hurt me. I don’t think I could have had a better application except for my LSAT score and timeline. I wish…
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…
…I had a very strong upward trend as I became a better student. After that, I worked in a foreign country for a few years and learned studied the language. Came back and worked at a law office as a legal assistant while studying for the LSAT. My PS was about this journey: how it was inspired by my family’s background…
…be your only focus while you are in school.- I began studying for the LSAT mid-sophomore year and took the LSAT at the beginning of my junior year, I did that because I wanted to graduate early and not take a senior year at all. I spent less time studying for my courses because I was spending time studying for the…
…be largely unattainable for me because of my below-median LSAT - but remember, numbers are only part of your application. More unsolicited advice: STUDY STUDY STUDY for the LSAT. Give yourself more time than you think you need.
A few thoughts on waitlists, “your chances,” R&R, the LSAT, and advice in general: Never give up on waitlists, especially ones that are known to have good movement (like in my case with HLS). A strong, school-specific Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI) can go a long way. Do not send the same LOCI to every school,…
Background: I graduated very early and took the LSAT a couple of times without studying. In hindsight, this decision was idiotic, and I was just very young to understand this. My highest LSAT score reflects an improvement in studying. My work situation and issues at home still limited this studying, so I wasn’t able…
…Mary” school, and I knew that it would be a reach with my LSAT score. Even though I was a little bit disappointed since UT Austin is my state public flagship university, I am grateful that I was not outright rejected, and I fully intend to ride the waitlist. Pennsylvania State University - Result: Acceptance.…
Try not to go insane. Study early and study hard for the LSAT. Have a rock-solid study routine. Don’t study full-time, though; losing all external structure in your life can be very destabilizing. Don’t be afraid to say no to higher-ranked schools in order to stay close to loved ones. Apply broadly. Take at least…

…then use the LSAC Fee Waiver to qualify for reduced-price LSAT prep materials (see the timeline on LSAT studying below). The LSAC Fee Waiver is good for two years however; at which time you will need to reapply. No harm in reapplying just a tedious task especially if you have to do it around application submission…
Used LSAT Demon to study for the LSAT and got my score up +7 points from my diagnostic in 3 months of daily studying, would definitely recommend. After taking the LSAT, 7Sage’s admissions consulting services were also super helpful, I would recommend getting a good start on your application documents first and then…
…wished I would’ve at least shot my shot. Biggest advice is study study study and pump that LSAT score up as high as you can go. I took it 5 times total (wrote an LSAT addendum for my applications) and moved from a 144 -> 153 -> 163. Also, try your best to apply earlier than I did!
…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…
T3.5 (LGBT+). Did my undergrad in engineering at a good state school in a state I didn’t live in. Texas resident (CAP sucks) Studied for the LSAT for 2 months. First diagnostic was a 163, ended at a consistent 175. I used Mike Kim’s LSAT Trainer and about 1.5 dozen PTs to study. Had bad test anxiety and stress…
