Hi friends, my LSAT score fears came true. After 15 weeks of studying and averaging a 165 (scores ranging from 164-170 with a diagnostic of 157), I scored a 158 on the real thing. I was honestly expecting a 160 as I was trying to keep my expectations low, and boy was I shocked! I felt calm and collected during my exam and everything felt normal. I am genuinely confused.
My main issue is that I have taken the LSAT a whopping 3 times before this Oct exam. I took a new approach this year and was finally scoring near my goal (165). I thought this time would be different. Do I dare take it a 5th time? Feeling embarrassed to ask.
Finally, as some background. My goal school admits around 162-168. So, I am very close.
This sounds great to me! I had an admissions advisor love my PS and it had a very similar format to yours. My first paragraph started out with a hardship I faced, it was very descriptive and read more like a story. But as I wrote on, I began to talk more about my professional endeavors, tying that into my hardship. To conclude, I just tied it into law school and what not. One thing that made my personal statement feel complete, was having my conclusion tie back to my intro. I made a very specific comment in my intro about a clock- so I was sure to reference this in my closing. Which helped it feel complete. But I also had tons of people read it and offer me corrections. Overall, I think if you have written 5 drafts, your essay is probably better than you think!
