When I first met Leah in 2024, she had already been studying for the LSAT for a year. Over the next two years, she worked tirelessly: both on bringing her LSAT up to her goal score (173) and on one of the best applications I've ever seen.

Next year, she'll be attending Michigan Law with significant merit aid. We sat down to discuss her whole journey: from her initial diagnostic through the TESTING DISASTERS that almost literally sank her candidacy on test day -- and the smart choices she made in a particularly hectic admissions season.

No. matter who you are, if you're aiming for a top school, there's something you can learn from Leah's experience.

We'll be covering more "Getting In" stories all summer. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions you'd like us to address. And if you'd prefer to listen to the podcast version of this discussion, find the 7Sage LSAT podcast on Spotify/Apple Podcasts/An RSS feed near you.
