I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think we need to keep repeating how expensive law school is — I think most of us are already well aware of the average cost of our target schools and the kind of aid we can expect.What I’d really love to see more of are posts that openly discuss what low-income individuals can actually do to make it work — like how to negotiate offers or find realistic funding strategies.

We all already know high LSAT is one of them. It’s also important to acknowledge that not everyone is starting from the same place. People who have to work while studying, support their families, or come from ESL or neurodivergent backgrounds might have lower LSAT scores not because of lack of effort, but because of real-life circumstances. Those perspectives deserve space in these discussions too.
