Thank you for the perspective Jacob!! Definitely feeling better about this now. It's so hard in a sea full of people who are striving for the T14 to get perspective on what a situation like mine looks like. So thank you!!

The school does offer full tuition!! Really hoping I can get a hold of that. Hahaha.

😖 Frustrated

Non-trad advice pls! Is a 158 unacceptable in my scenario?

I'm a nontrad applying to a state school whos median GPA is 3.67 and median LSAT is 157. My GPA is 3.96 and my current highest official score was from August, and it was 158. I think my personal statement is good, I have 4 years of professional experience in a law-adjacent field, and I have 2 really good recommenders.

The problem with my LSAT score is that I've been PTing reeeeeally inconsistently. If I do a few short drills, I rarely miss any questions. Like hardly ever. But as soon as I sit down for the full thing, it's like my brain just won't work. The mental fatigue is BAD. Also, I work two jobs, so I don't get to study as much as I want. The PT test before my last was a 167, and then today I took another and got a 159. I'm taking October and I'm freaking the freak out.

I would really love to not have any student loans if possible. Is this realistic, even for a lower-ranked state school? And before anyone tells me to wait until next cycle, that doesn't make sense for our family, so it's now or never. Maybe I've been listening to the tiktok and reddit warriors too much (lol) but I genuinely just don't know how much my LSAT is going to pull down my other stats.
