Hey everyone,

Just got my LSAT score back and got a 171! I'm super pumped about it, it's expanded my school list considerably.

My GPA, however, might be a problem. It's below the median of most T14 schools (3.48). However, my major was in Civil Engineering from Rice University (not the easiest engineering school).

So probably my LSAT/engineering major is what will get me into schools. Are there any T14 schools that value LSAT more than GPA or value engineering majors more?

Thanks guys ... 7Sage is the real deal!

@ Congrats!!! That’s amamzing!

I got the same score as yours on my June lsat and now hoping to score in the 170s to get into T-14 schools. Can you share what you did differently and how were you able to achieve such a great score?

Thanks

It came down to practicing LSATs in a test day environment. Every Saturday I'd wake up early, go to the library, turn my phone off, and take a full length test. With time, the questions started repeating themselves essentially and every LSAT became easier and more predictable. By the end, I was consistently getting -0 or -1 on LG and -3 or -4 on LR. The questions really do repeat themselves all the time.

The key is to replicate the test day environment. By the time the test rolled around, it was as if I was just taking another PT like I did every week. PM me if you want to talk more about it, I'd love to help!

Good job!!. Might I ask what was different for this take besides the previous, besides 7sage??. Were you PTing in the 170s in the first take but had a fluke??

The 160 I took without really practicing or anything. My first real PT I got like a 164 or something. It came down to practicing and simulating the test day environment. I started getting 168s, then 170s, and got a 173 one time. But I started consistently getting 170 somehow. I did like 30 full length LSATs lol. It sucked but it was worth it.

What's you (realistic) dream school?

It might be Duke! I'd love to get into UVA as well. NYU/Columbia are stretches but I'm really happy with this.

Got into Duke today!

Just wanted to say thank you to 7Sage. My GPA is way below the 25th percentile of pretty much every T14 school (3.49), but because of 7Sage, my LSAT skyrocketed from a 160 (Feb. 2017) to a 171 (Sept. 2017), and I'm now 2/2 at law schools including an offer from Duke!
