Amazing and impeccable explanation, I have been wondering for some time what the medians mean in the Law school application process. Wish you the best everyone!
I had to postpone taking the test this year due to two back to back surgeries which took me 4 months to heal. I now have finally started to prepare for LSAT. I work full-time so have limited time to devote to preparation. Besides LSAT I have school applications to complete.
My GPA is 3.9. I've registered for Feb 2026. Should I change it to April 2026? Or should I miss another year and thoroughly prepare for LSAT and school applications?
If I apply now, I basically only have a couple of schools to get into (which is ok). And I need GOOD scholarship because these schools are EXPENSIVE!
I graduated college in 2022. I had rushed to take my LSAT when I really was not prepared for it. I took it 3 times and was never happy with my score and got waitlisted or denied, never accepted. I finally built the courage to begin studying again. I am now 25 and feel like it is too late and often get discouraged. I did well in college (3.7 gpa), worked in a. law office for 8 years and have been a certified paralegal for 3 years, yet I still feel like my history of poor lSAT scores will drag me down!
Hello! I graduated undergrad with a 3.88 in Social Work. I have years of work experience and internships with vulnerable populations, especially with the houseless population and the Hispanic/Latino community and domestic violence. I currently work with my state’s govt doing eligibility for Medicaid and other assistance programs so I’m really involved in seeing policy and laws impacting the population and how laws impact work being done. I am also on the Advisory Board of a local nonprofit that focuses on LGBTQ+ populations. i have always wanted to go to law school but self doubt had me stuck. My goal is a 170+ with hopes of getting into a T14 school and i’m really interested in Georgetown Law, schools in the DMV, east coast and the chicago area.
What happens when you already have a master's degree, and thus two GPAs? My undergrad was pretty bad (I was pretty sick with a chronic illness back then) but my grad GPA is quite good. Do law schools consider both GPAs?
i had 3.3 as undergrad in bioengineering and completed a master in Mechanical as well. (2 years work experience) Leaning towards including an addendum as well. Would this be a good choice.
Sounds like if one applies to multiple schools the greater the chance of getting into one for one reason or another out of the four buckets will suit a schools qualifier.
Greetings! My name is Lex, I'm a non-trad from the Silicon Valley and planning to take the November LSAT for the first time. I lost my decade long cybersecurity job 2 years ago while in a coma, following a fire that left me disabled (and nearly un-alived).
After wasting the last year applying to literally thousands of jobs, having countless dead end interviews, and otherwise doing everything to find a new job - I realized my skills are quickly becoming obsolete and need to go back to school one way or another.
I've always dreamt of being a lawyer and making a positive difference in the lives of others. So here I am, turning 35 next month, and shooting for a 170+ for a chance to attend USF, USC, Stanford, UCLA, USD, Hastings, SCU, Davis, Berkeley, Pepperdine or Irvine. UGPA is 3.1 so I know its quite the ambitious goal, but hey "you miss 100% of the shots you never take"!
I have a 3.15 GPA, I started college at 16 and finished my degree in 3 years. Because I just wanted to be done with college, I did not start well. I am aiming for a 165. I don't need to get into a top school. Can I get into any? I am an Asian female hoping to go into tax law, which is an area seriously lacking in women, so that may help me.
I had a great GPA at my undergrad institution (3.91), but I didn't try hard when I took summer classes at community college. Since LSAC takes all institutions, it knocked me down to a 3.78. Looks like I'll have to nail the LSAT. Let's go!
This was genuinely helpful. I'm saving it for when I'm ready to write my personal statement. Thank you, Kamil!

Super helpful insight!!

The audio on the video is currently not working
Gpa, age, work history be damned. These law schools will see how great I am and they'll beg me to apply 😤
Amazing info.
That was interesting... I'm wanting to stay local... helpful to know to look at the school's median LSAT scores so I know what I need to make.

My GPA is fair.
I have a 3.15 GPA, I started college at 16 and finished my degree in 3 years. Because I just wanted to be done with college, I did not start well. I am aiming for a 165. I don't need to get into a top school. Can I get into any? I am an Asian female hoping to go into tax law, which is an area seriously lacking in women, so that may help me.
I'm fighting an up-hill battle. I had a 3.3 GPA in my undergrad of Economics. I didn't fully apply myself in High School or College.
How do you know your GPA for law school? I got a 3.87 for Dual enrollment and I will be graduating with a 4.0 from my undergrad.
I had a great GPA at my undergrad institution (3.91), but I didn't try hard when I took summer classes at community college. Since LSAC takes all institutions, it knocked me down to a 3.78. Looks like I'll have to nail the LSAT. Let's go!
Is Kamil available for Admissions consulting?
This was comforting, in a way. I always thought my GPA was good then when I saw the median for most law schools it made me really discouraged.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
