Admissions · Chances of law school

Yesterday

@VarenyaAlvakonda - Former admissions officer checking in!

People will be admitted to T14s with lower GPAs, including 3.4's. It happens! The keys are this:

What's the context of the 3.4? There's a big difference between "consistent 3.4" vs "consistent 3.4 in a very challenging major" vs "started at a 4.0 but tailed off for no discernible reason" vs "started low due to family/medical issues but then had a big upward trend" vs etc etc etc.
How long ago was the GPA? You're ultimately going to make an argument that your GPA is not predictive of your future academic capabilities in law school. It's more difficult to make that argument if you just graduated this May versus if you've been working for three years (as you said).
Can you balance it out with a high LSAT? Not to make things simplistic, but if one number hurts one median but the other number helps the other median, then things can balance out. This also gives you something else to point to as the better predictor of your law school GPA.
What does the resume look like? The most compelling splitters are going to be ones with good professional experience that appears to tie into their legal goals.

I hope that helps!

@stegilbe2013 - This degree won't be an issue at all! There are a number of people who have done just what you have (ie, gone to grad school with one plan to work as a legal aid, legal assistant, or paralegal) and have then said, "You know what ... let's do the JD!" It's totally normal!

As you apply for JD programs, you're going to run into concerns and worries ("Is my LSAT high enough? When are the app deadlines?") but you can wipe this one right off that list!

Admissions · WashU Scholarships

JacobBaska

3 days ago

@BOBLOBLAW - Rare is the question that we can answer definitively but this is definitely one!

WashU has - historically - been very generous for scholarships for GPA splitters (and LSAT splitters, and people with high GPAs and high LSATs....). You can check out this page on our website, or lawschooldata, or the law school admissions sub-Reddit for further context.

Now, we acknowledge that past precedent is never a perfect predictor for the future ... but it's all we got. So use this information as a guide and then hope for the best.

Additionally, you should do reach out to WashU Law admissions about whether they have a Loan Repayment Program (LRAP) for public interest grads. Most law schools of WashU's caliber do ... but I wasn't able to find anything on their website, so give them a call. LRAPs aren't the same as front end scholarship assistance but the end result is the same - you end up paying less because the law school is helping you pay off / forgive some of your loans if you go into qualified public interest work. But FYI that they at least have a number of post-grad public interest fellowships.

Admissions · Addendums

JacobBaska

3 days ago

@jaidaanderson - And I'll take the opposite approach of answering the addenda question while letting the others talk about admissions consulting!

I assume from your question that you want to write an addenda because of a bad grade in a class. If that's the case, consider this format (and if it's NOT, feel free to clarify!):

Introduction that clearly states the issue at hand (eg, "I would like to take the opportunity to provide further context to my grade in Biochem 2 during my sophomore year of college.").
Give the direct who/what/why of the situation. Just do it in one paragraph and keep your balance between a) providing enough details so that your audience understands what happened and b) not going overboard.
Give us the resolution to the matter. Did you retake the class? Did you switch majors? Did you realize that you had to approach similar classes in a different way going forward?
Wrap it up with a note of being open to any further questions (eg, "Thank you for your consideration and please don't hesitate to contact me if the admissions committee has any further questions regarding this matter.").

Admissions · Should I apply this in the 2026 cycle?

JacobBaska

3 days ago

@TheBigFatPanda - From the admissions perspective (and the "law school employee" perspective), I'd really frame this as "what do you really want to do a year from now?" Would you rather be getting ready to apply and working one more year OR would you rather be getting ready to enroll in law school?

Forget the other stuff (will the app pool ALWAYS get more competitive? will the job market keep being tight?) because it's hard to project things out more than a year at a time. For example, I can't tell you what the app pool will look like in 2027-2028. All I can tell you is that we have signs that this upcoming year's applicant pool likely won't shrink (and that's based on Feb and April LSAT test taking numbers going up a smidge versus last year).

Regarding getting direct legal experience before law school, that isn't necessary in order to be a competitive applicant. For example, what if someone has been an accountant for five years and wants to go into tax law? From an admissions perspective, I appreciate their deep professional background in their chosen field and that a legal education is really a supplement to what they've already done. In the case of someone with your kind of STEM background, I wouldn't necessarily expect to see direct legal experience in the world of tech, patent, IP, biomedical, pharma, etc. I'd expect to see direct professional experience and that's exactly what you have.

I hope that helps you figure things out! Fingers crossed for you!

Admissions · Take another LSAT or not?

JacobBaska

Thursday, Apr 30

To add on to the comment below, I think it's not only a matter of "are there schools that work for you whose medians are at/under a 164," but also a matter of possible merit scholarship. For example, maybe you're targeting a school whose median is a 164. Let's assume that the rest of your app is great so that we can just hone in on this one factor. Perhaps they give admitted students with your GPA/164 combo an award of $10k/yr. But maybe with your GPA and an LSAT at a 167, they give $20k/yr. You can do a little research on this via the decision tracker and also on lawschooldata.

This may all be a moot point because maybe the schools you're targeting have medians waaaaaaaaay below a 164 (in which case, boosting your score further may not change a merit award) but I at least wanted to raise this point. Sometimes when you can actually see the difference in merit awards, it changes your perspective from a re-take from "nope, not gonna do it" to "... that's enough of a difference in $$$ to inspire me."

Admissions Classes This Week

This is going to be a busy week for admissions classes here at 7Sage!

With the April LSAT results coming back in a few days, we'll be doing our latest rounds of our "What Does My Score Mean" sessions. You've spent all this time prepping for the LSAT, stressing about the LSAT, taking the LSAT, waiting for your LSAT scores, and now you have them ... and now what? We'll contextualize the LSAT's role in the admissions process as well as give you insights on the other factors that go into the law school admissions process (hint - there's a lot more than just this score!).

Sessions on both Wednesday and Friday at 12PM and 3PM Eastern.

And speaking of Wednesday, we'll have our regular weekly admissions AMA session! Stop on by to ask whatever questions you have about applications, the law school admissions process, or those admissions phobias that have been in the back of your mind and have been meaning to research but it never seems like the right time. Well, Wednesday, is the right time!

Session on Wednesday at 1PM Eastern.

You can find info and links for these classes right here!

Admissions · Visiting Law Schools

JacobBaska

Monday, Apr 27

The only thing I'd add to @elinaaa's response is that many schools list their visit policies and calendar on their website. Just do a quick Google search for "[school name] law, campus visit." You should be able to find their information pretty quickly! If you don't find any information online, give the admissions office a call. Introduce yourself as a prospective applicant who will be in the area in early June and was wondering if there are any possible visit opportunities. They'll be sure you get the proper information!

Admissions · Applying with future LSAT registrations

JacobBaska

Monday, Apr 27

@LawStudent414244 - Good question!

It won't hurt your application for most schools if you apply and have a pending LSAT. The reason is because most admissions offices will simply hold off reviewing your app until your future LSAT scores arrive.

Their rationale is this - you're almost certainly re-taking the LSAT in order to boost your score, right? So why review the application now when this candidate's statistical profile may change in the coming weeks and we have lots of other applications that we can review in the meantime?

But please know that every school has their own policy on reviewing/not reviewing apps that are otherwise complete if not for a pending LSAT. The vast majority will hold off reviewing your app. But some (Michigan and Cornell being notable) explicitly say in their app instructions that completed apps are fair game for review even if the applicant is retaking the LSAT. Just pay attention to the application instructions and you'll be fine! And if you're in doubt, you can always give an admissions office a quick phone call to clarify things!

Admissions · Academic Letter of Recommendation

JacobBaska

Friday, Apr 24

@Thomas_Vega - Good question!

Once you're two or three years out of undergrad, admissions officers are no longer expecting academic letters of recommendation. Given that you graduated in 2023 and are applying in 2026-27, no one will be expecting an academic LoR. Two professional LoRs (especially if you've been working at a law firm) would be more than enough!

I'm also going to throw it out there to you that it would look extraordinarily weird for you to enroll as a non matriculating student in school right now. You'd have to explain that on your app because admissions officers will see that and raise an eyebrow ("... is he a 'continuing ed' student...?"). It's not worth it!

And another "throw it out there" - no one is admitted because of their letters of rec, no one is denied because of their letters of rec, no one gets more scholarship money because of their letters of rec. The LoRs do not override what we learn on the application from the applicant themself. The LoRs are just supposed to supplement what we learn on the app!

Admissions · Preparing personal statement

JacobBaska

Friday, Apr 24

Your mileage may vary, @Yahaira, but it's usually best to know yourself here! Some people can write really solid drafts in a day and other people labor for each paragraph. So be realistic with yourself and your style!

With that said, another factor is that the goal of the personal statement is to explain your interest in law school and being a lawyer. Some people have a clear reason for wanting to go to law school. That makes it easier to explain on the PS! But other folks want to go to law school for more amorphous reasons (eg, "It's a good job" or "I can make a good salary"). Those applicants will need a bit more time to reflect on how to best present their intentions professionally on the PS.

And you can check out our admissions course for some thoughts on the personal statement!

Admissions · I have a really bad GPA. Is law school unrealistic?

JacobBaska

Tuesday, Apr 21

These comments have a lot of good points, @puffle and I'll just add another!

Canadian law schools do a few things differently than their American counterparts. One such thing is the GPA calculation. Here in the States, you send your transcripts to LSAC and they tell law schools what your GPA is. This is a standardized number. But up in Canada, every school has their own policy. The top schools usually consider all of your undergrad work. But some law schools only consider your best 60 credits. Or your final 90 credits. Or they drop your worst 15 credits. It really does vary from one school to the next. So I'd go check out the schools in Ontario (I'm expanding out from the GTA just to give you some more options) and see what they consider.

But also, the simple answer here is "if your GPA is low but your LSAT is high, you have a statistical 'foot in the door.'"

Admissions · Commit or retest and reapply

JacobBaska

Tuesday, Apr 21

I hear you, @Futurelawyer7916292 - it's been a rough cycle given the national increase in apps combined with schools keep their enrollment numbers in line with past years (ie, far more people competing for the exact same number of seats at law schools).

When I'm talking with clients about this very question (take the money and run vs reapply), I try to get them to think about a few things:

What's going to be different the next time you apply? For example: are you retaking the LSAT, are you applying earlier, are you changing your app strategy (eg, bringing in more safeties), working for a few years to boost your resume, etc. You need to be able to ID what you think you can change because "let's just run it back the same as we did this year" isn't likely to be successful.
Why is X School of Law not acceptable to you? What's good about X School of Law? What I've usually found is that part of the issue is that the applicant has fallen short of their expectations. That mental/psychological toll keeps them - in some cases - from being able to see X School of Law for what it really is and what it can be to them. But since this school admitted you and gave you a good scholarship - it's a OPPORTUNITY - you owe it to yourself to figure out if it's a good fit. And if it's NOT a good fit and you reapply to law schools in the future, how can you use this experience with X School of Law to help you figure out a) your future app strategy and b) what you need to do to achieve success in that future strategy.
Play out the worst case scenarios and see what feels better. Is the worst case scenario "Go to School X for little debt, probably do pretty well academically, but it's lower ranked so my post-grad hiring outcomes are a little more limited, but I'll graduate and be a lawyer in three years" or "Reapply in a year or two ... and end up with the exact same offer from School X ... but at least I tried again!"? I've found that people usually have a pretty visceral reaction to that! Either it's "Ooof, I'd feel silly to reapply and be in the same spot two years down the road" or it's "I'd rest easy at night knowing I gave it one more good shot!"

I hope that helps! I'm guessing you've already pondered these issues over, but I hope this helps frame things for you!

Admissions · HELP - Letter of Continued Interest

JacobBaska

Tuesday, Apr 21

That's a really timely question, @Jake.! @alk2001 linked to the page on our admissions course that goes over things but here's what I'd also offer:

Don't make it more complicated than it has to be! The goals of a LOCI are to let me know if you're still interested in my school (and why you're still interested) and if you have any updates. That's it!
I'm only reading your LOCI if all the following happen: a) We have seats in the class and can use our waitlist, b) I've analyzed my deposited class and have IDed any stats/demographics we need to strengthen, c) I've pulled all the files on our waitlist that help with the factors explained in point b, d) I've reviewed your file and liked it, e) "Oh, and there's a LOCI? Lemme open that up and read it." I'm saying that all just to take the pressure off!

As far as content goes, you can think of it as a 3-4 paragraph doc:

1) Introduction (name, on the waitlist, wanted to be in touch to reiterate continued interest).

2) Why you're interested in the school. If you already stated this in your app, you can give a quick recap of those points ("As I noted on my application, my primary interest in attending Law School X is because of your tax law program and post-grad opportunities in New York City.") and then riff on then for a few sentences.

3) Any updates to your app since when you applied. Note: Not everyone has updates! The most likely people to have updates are current college students (grades, graduation, etc). So if you don't have updates, that's fine!

4) Wrap it up. If this school is your top choice, say it. Thank them for their time and consideration, and make yourself available for any follow up.

That's really it! Nice and simple!

Admissions · LOR questions

JacobBaska

Monday, Apr 20

@cworth1512 So this thing I wrote above? This one right here: "And - here's the whammy for you - if you're applying either while you're a senior in college or within a year or two of graduating, you really should have at least one (if not two) academic letters." You're at the opposite end of the spectrum. Once someone is a few years out of their most recent college experience (either undergrad or grad), admissions officers really don't expect to see LoRs from academics. There's no hard and fast rule, but I'd put it at 4-5 years. It's just not reasonable to expect applicants to be in touch with their former profs after that kind of time.

So in your case, what admissions officers are expecting are professional LoRs. We want to understand what you bring to the office setting. A manager, supervisor, etc. would be the best person to reach out to about this.

I would try to get two professional letters before reaching out to the community based leadership programs. Submitting an LoR from that program should be in addition to two professional letters or an oh no, I can't get two professional letters and I need a second letter situation.

Admissions · Online degree...

JacobBaska

Friday, Apr 17

I hope I can give some insight @JiggityJack5!

First, there's generally been a greater knowledge and awareness of fully online programs in the past decade, especially post-COVID. It used to be pretty rare to see competitive law applicants from online programs just because the fully online programs were - themselves - very rare. That all has changed! But with that said, just know that it would be useful for you to address why you chose to attend Excelsior. Was it because you were also working full-time and this was the best fit? Because it was the best option based on where you lived? Because of health/mobility issues? Military deployments? Even just a sentence or two that mentions that factoid, that would help the admissions officers understand things a bit more.

But notice how I haven't brought up your actual question yet! That's because admissions officers aren't going to use a different LSAT threshold for folks who attend online schools vs in-person schools. If you hit their target median, you hit their target median. But - obviously - the higher the LSAT score, the greater the opportunity for merit scholarship. Additionally, the best way to assuage any concerns about an online BA is to have a good LSAT, and a good resume, and have a clear rationale for wanting to attend law school via your personal statement.

Admissions · Personal Statement

JacobBaska

Friday, Apr 17

Good question, @k13lawwwwww!

So, my professional opinion is that the goal of a personal statement is to explain why you want to go to law school and be a lawyer. To that end, I usually point people toward's Harvard's prompt as a good "baseline" PS:

"Statement of Purpose: What motivates you to pursue law? How does attending law school align with your ambitions, goals, and vision for your future?"

If your rationale for wanting to be a lawyer and/or the kind of law that you want to practice is somehow rooted in or connected to mental health issues, then it's totally ok/relevant/germane to bring up those issues. On the other hand, if your rationale for wanting to be a lawyer is something totally unrelated ("And that's why I want to work in patent law!"), then talking about mental health issues would seem like an aside to the larger point.

But even if that's the case, there are other docs where you could talk about your past if you think it's relevant:

Maybe in the addenda if your mental health issues had an impact on your academic work at some point.
Maybe in your diversity statement / statement of perspective. The goal of those docs is more to explain where you're from, your background, and the essential things that admissions officers need to know about you in order to "get" you.

I'll leave you with this just to end on a good note and make sure this is very clear - there is NO STIGMA in bringing up mental health issues in your application. None. Zilch. But just like any health issue, or family issue, or personal setback, I'd want to understand what happened, how this shaped you, and - ideally - how it's in your past so I don't have to worry about issues arising while you're in law school AND that you're equipped to handle issues in case they arise.

Admissions · LOR questions

JacobBaska

Monday, Apr 13

@AlL816 - I'll let some other users give you advice from the applicant's perspective but I hope I can give some insight from the admissions officer's perspective!

What we really want from the LoRs is a sense of what you bring to the classroom or professional environment. To that end, the letters should be written either by professors or supervisors.

Most schools require two letters and two is usually more than enough (ie, don't freak out if you see that a school "requires two but accepts up to three" and you wonder if it would be better to submit three - a third letter rarely helps because it's likely that we're going to read the same things on the third letter that we read in the first two letters).

And - here's the whammy for you - if you're applying either while you're a senior in college or within a year or two of graduating, you really should have at least one (if not two) academic letters. As someone who didn't really attend office hours during undergrad or seek out relationships with professors, I am here to share a sigh with you.

So what can you do? Well, it's mid-April so you have a few weeks left in the semester/quarter. There's no time like the present to start going to office hours. Even if it's just some little chit-chat about your final paper or upcoming exams, this will help. You don't have to have a super deep relationship with a prof for the LoR to be effective. Even this is effective - 1) just chatting with them two or three times before the end of the semester, 2) following up after final exams to thank them for the great class, and then 3) getting in touch over the summer or early in the fall semester about an LoR.

I'm saying this in my best and most positive "coach voice" - you can do it!

Regarding the RA supervisor, it would be alright for them to also write you a letter of rec for law school. It would be very normal to see that letter plus an academic letter.

Admissions · How important is the writing sample?

JacobBaska

Monday, Apr 13

@TRenato - As long as you made a solid argument and wrote in semi-lucid English, you're fine!

For some historical context, the previous writing section wasn't consistently reviewed by admissions officers. I personally would skim it over but not much more than that. My rationale was 1) it doesn't really tell me much about the candidate and why they want to go to law school, 2) if I have any questions about their writing abilities, I have the entire app to refer to AND a college transcript, 3) the old format of the writing section was so cookie cutter (Here is a person/organization who needs to make a decision; they can do A or B; here are the pros and cons of A and B; what do you think they should do?) that it wasn't even a very intellectual exercise. The greatest utility was for applicants whose first language isn't English because this would at least give you a sense of the applicant's English writing ability in a timed/controlled environment. But I had colleagues who would give it more than a skim over just to ensure that the candidate took the writing section seriously. But even with that, I was never in an admissions committee meeting where someone said "Well, what REALLY sold me was their LSAT writing section."

I'll acknowledge that the new writing section is at least a more advanced intellectual exercise because it's asking you to construct an argument out of evidentiary samples. That requires some sort of analytical and synthetic abilities! But, 1) it still doesn't tell me anything about why you want to go to law school, and 2) I would still defer to the rest of the app and the transcript to give me a better sense of your writing abilities. Additionally, we have a new #3 - the new writing section was introduced before the 2024-25 admissions cycle, a cycle that saw a drastic increase in apps, an increase that has continued through this cycle. Apps are through the roof everywhere! So if I'm an admissions officer who has the same amount of time to do significantly more work and has to find a place or two to shave off a few minutes on each review, the first place I'm skipping is the writing sample. The lone exception would be the folks I mentioned before (non-native English speakers).

So here's what I advise: understand what the assignment is (ie, constructing an analytical argument), trust your instincts that you've done this kind of thing before in liberal arts classes, do your best, and - as long as you don't blackout and type utter gibberish - forget about it afterwards.

Admissions · Podcasting and Panicking

JacobBaska

Friday, Apr 10

@pennstater44 - Thanks for the question and I hope I can help!

So, first things first, you won't have a 3.92 GPA when I consider your app. You may have a 3.92 at Penn State, but all the credits taken towards your first BA count towards your "LSAC GPA" (ie, the GPA that I have to factor into my medians as an admissions officer). And given your community college work, that's going to drag down your LSAC GPA a bit.

But moving past that, that's a pretty common issue to see among applicants. It's not odd to see someone struggle with dual enrollment classes when they were in high school and then succeed when they were in a traditional undergrad setting. Seeing those low marks from community college won't be the be-all-end-all of your file.

And now let me just throw something out there to you and please don't take this personally (which I know is always a great thing to say before you write something that someone may take critically!). People make bad mistakes at age 13 all the time. I read character and fitness explanations from applicants all the time that explain a poor decision that they made when they were a teen, but now they're 25, so the mistake is long in the past, and look at all they've accomplished since then, etc etc etc. In your case, "the mistakes I made when I was 13" were only three years ago. That's not that far in the past. Additionally, you're going to be submitting applications versus other folks with significant amounts of work and personal experience. The experiences that they will bring with them to the classroom conversation will be invaluable. So here's the "let me throw something to you" part. You've accelerated your education to the point where you're graduating with a BA at age 17. That's a great accomplishment, especially given the amount of work and volunteer service that you've done. You've effectively purchased five years of your life. The question is now "how best to spend that time?" You can try to apply to law school at age 17. Or you could go work for three years in a legal setting (thus improving your app), apply to law school at age 20, and still graduate when you're just 23 (two years younger than the majority of law school grads). My point is, there's no rush here. That's especially true if you're finding that your LSAT score isn't improving as much as you'd like. You have time on your side! So don't feel like you have to rush it!

Admissions · Admission Facors

JacobBaska

Wednesday, Apr 8

@AnnaTidmore - There's a lot that can go into an admissions decision! Just to name a few from my personal experiences leading an admissions office:

1) They applied late in the process. By the time we got to their file, we felt comfortable with our admissions decisions and that we didn't need to admit anyone further.

2) We couldn't get a feel for why the student wanted to go to law school and our law school specifically. You'd be surprised how many academically talented students can't actually articulate why they want to be a lawyer. And regarding the latter, schools want to enroll students who will really take advantage of what their school has to offer. If an applicant clearly wants something that the school can't offer, it doesn't serve anyone well to admit/enroll that student.

3) Character and fitness issues. That one is pretty self explanatory.

4) Issues in writing and/or application presentation that make you wonder about the applicant. For example, someone may have a 4.0 GPA and a high LSAT, but if they're app is riddle with typos and errors, then the stats alone aren't going to override the rest of the app.

That's not comprehensive but that hopefully gives you a feel for a few things that could happen that would lead an applicant with high stats to not be admitted!

Admissions · June LSAT Test to apply this cycle (2026)

JacobBaska

Wednesday, Apr 8

Good question, @BigDave! Applying at the last minute and being denied admission doesn't effect poorly on a future app. The only whammy is this - if you apply in after the June LSAT and then try to apply again this cycle, that's a short span of time to re-write your personal statement and do any updates.

One way to get ahead of this is to contact the admissions office in question. Take the June LSAT and then reach out them to see if they still have seats available. Given the time of year, most admissions officers are probably going to shoot straight with you because they don't want you to waste your time and effort if it's totally fruitless.

Admissions · Admissions vis a vis low score to high score

JacobBaska

Friday, Apr 3

Good question, @studying4lsat123!

From the admissions perspective, it's really not a problem to see improvement on the LSAT. It may raise an eyebrow if you have a HUGE jump between tests (like a 5+ point jump) but it's not a huge deal. Usually a jump of that magnitude between tests is reflective of:

1) Some sort of negative event associated with the lower test score (eg, "I took the LSAT even though I was sick," "There was a significant disruption at my test center that morning," etc).

2) Some sort of positive change before the higher test score (eg, "After scoring lower than I would have liked the first time, I changed my study habits, started working with 7Sage, found the key that unlocked my entire LSAT prep, and raised my score by eight points.").

3) Both #1 and #2.

You'd just explain this on the addenda section of the app!

Admissions · Law School Resume Experiences

JacobBaska

Wednesday, Apr 1

@lca01 Thanks for the follow up!

Yup, this would fall into the category of including on your resume as long as it was a substantive experience. What I mean is that I've fun into people who want to put experiences that lasted for one day or one week on their resume. But if you were a page for at least a summer (if not a semester or a year), then - sure! - you can include it on your resume for law school.
