Hello everyone! Leading up to admissions I always thought that campus involvement, working, and volunteering was essential to law school applications. As I get further in, I hear more and more that softs aren't really that important.

So how much do law schools actually care about softs? Do they care about E-Board positions, campus work, working during school, community service, or law experience really? Is this one of those things that most applicants have so it doesn't really matter that much? What constitutes as strong softs, if any?

Hi everyone! I am taking the LSAT in April 2027. I took a diagnostic in the spring which landed me at 161, which initially I was very happy about. However, I have been studying since then and have been consistently stuck in the 160s- sometimes high, sometimes low. My biggest area of improvement is RC, but no matter how hard I blind review, I feel stuck! Does it just take time? I am so afraid of wasting my time studying ineffectively.
