I was originally scheduled to take the January lsat next week with hopes to go to law school this 2024 cycle. I have now changed my lsat date to June 2024 with intentions to going to law school in the 2025 cycle. My goal is to get in the 160-165 range. I am locked in these next 6 months.
Thank you for your feedback I truly appreciate it. I will try to make these changes in my study methods to see if I can see some improvement within the next couple of weeks. Best of luck to you on the January lsat. Thank you again @janewu08082003338
I took the lsat in november and this was my first time taking the lsat and I didn't really study that much maybe a couple of weeks. I got a 135 on the november lsat and after seeing my low lsat score I was eager to see with a couple months of studying would I make a huge jump or improvement before taking the January lsat. The test is in a couple weeks and I am overwhelmed with studying. I am a senior in college and the semester especially with midterms and finals have taken away some of my actual study time from prepping for the january lsat. I have taken a couple practice test and I still seem to be getting 135 on them and not really improving. I am at a crossroads because I wanted to see if I could get at least a 150 on this January lsat to get into this law school in my area this cycle. I feel like if it doesn't happen now I will not pursue it after I graduate this spring from undergrad. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Appreciate you sharing your story. This means a lot to me that I am not alone in this situation. This makes me feel better about where I stand for this process. I will come back to this post and share the good news. Best of luck to you moving forward and thanks again.
Thank you so much for your response and sharing your relatable story with me. This makes me feel a little bit better about where I stand. I will study hard and keep practicing before the January lsat. I will shoot for a 150 and up. Best of luck to you moving forward with this process. Good luck on the January lsat as well. I will come back to this post with news of hopefully you getting a 153 and me getting a 150.
I have a 2.0 cumulative LSAC gpa but my degree summary gpa is a 3.25. I attended previous institutions like community colleges and another four year school. I am currently a senior and I am graduating this spring 2024. I took the lsat last month and got a 140. I was hoping to get it up to at least a 150 on this upcoming January exam, but I feel like in my case a 150 wouldn't even help. I am feeling very discouraged and depressed about my overall chances of getting into any law school with this cumulative gpa. I didn't do well at all my first few years in college and I had to do some soul searching and figure out what I wanted to do with my life and these past two years I have improved my grades and overall academic trajectory. I know I could write an addendum and explain why my gpa is the way it is but I feel hopeless because its a 2.0. Can anyone offer any advice or wisdom for my situation.
Thank you both @janewu08082003338 and @sunpreetgill73788-1-1 for the feedback and sharing your words of wisdom and advice to me I truly appreciate it seriously. I will take these recommendations and apply them. This means a lot to me, thank you both again. I will come back to this post in a couple weeks after I take my lsat and update you all.
