I’m already above medians for schools I want to apply to but I know I can score higher and have free time to study. Will it hurt my application if I apply with future tests scheduled? For example, if I send in applications on September 1st while being signed up for September and October LSAT will this hurt my application?

This is not a good strategy. Especially for practicing you shouldn't be worried about the hardest questions until you have mastered the easier ones.
If you are above medians or if your GPA is within the 25th and LSAT is above median I would only consider using a consultant for personal statement. If you want to go to schools that are reaches I think a consultant will be very helpful
If your head doesn't hurt when you are reviewing then you are not learning

@Thomas_Vega reach out to more. Are you emailing from a student email? Sometimes for security purposes they can get auto filtered out if it's from an outside person.
If you already received your degree I don't see how you could go back and take more classes. Just find a professor that would be willing to write an LOR for you. 2023 isn't that long ago. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as they don't say anything negative you'll be fine. Law schools can see it has been a few years so your professional LOR will be perfect. Maybe try to get 2 professional ones just to make it a little better.
LSAT + GPA you will get some full rides. For T14 you will likely need to get your LSAT to a 170+
This is total speculation but if I think next cycle will be just as competitive or worse. If I were you, I would ask for the t100 to increase it to full tuition and plan on transferring after 1L.
@rorygilmore44 thank you but I’m mainly looking for someone to read it and tell me how the tone sounds
Hello, I am not a professional but I recently completed my personal statement. I will happily help you brainstorm and review.
Hello, I have a C&F addendum ready and am looking for someone to give me an opinion on it.
I would not cancel a score unless it was below a 140 and I would not take an official test unless I had at least 2 practice tests within 1-2 points of my target score.
Do we keep the header on every page or just the first page? Also, I have everything in 12 point times new roman but is there any other formatting things I should do such as margins, etc?
I would love to. DM me I like reading and helping with personal statements
