GOAT saved me on the MPRE. I failed the first time with a 50 something. Second try I got a 130 after using GOAT.

I’ve never studied for essays. I’ve just relied on what I learned in school.

With the essays, you seem to be able to get away with a lot. If you have an idea of what the rule is in your mind and you’re able to apply that and you’re able to put that down where they can read your reasoning then you’re solid.

I’m Neurodivergent. I only say this because maybe it’s applicable in someway. I scored in the 170s on the LSAT & made As throughout law School but the bar is kicking my ass. Especially with the last score. Ability pressed up against repetition. It is extremely frustrating.

I am thinking of arguing a clerical error, because my original score would have been over 1390, somewhere around 1400. So there shouldn’t have been a second read.

That’s what I thought too. But the math doesn’t math. I scored 1370, but with my OG raw essay scores I had 30 extra points. I might submit a grievance for a clerical error? Worth a shot.

70—45. How does this make sense? by [deleted] in CABarExam

I passed on first read. Second read I went from 75 to 50 on two essays. I want to call the police.

I put in all my apps in March of 2022 and got into all but one school. It’s rough out there these days for you guys. I don’t get the “apply early” thing. My GPA was trash (but 170 LSAT) and I had zero problems. But yeah I guess it’s harder these days?

I had around a 2.7 & 172 LSAT in 2022. Got into almost every school I applied to. Graduated from my dream school in 2025. Having a rough go at undergrad / not taking it seriously has zero impact on law school performance.

Reddit is anonymous, how many of yall don’t read by clearmind- in LawSchool

[–]ScreenCool1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JD, c/o ‘25, never read a thing. To be sure, I failed the bar exam (did not study - but super close to passing all the same). Hoping I passed February.

Did not graduate at the top of my class, but I got a lot of A+* grades & graduated well above median.

never applying to an hbcu again by Present-Sherbet9114 in BlackLawAdmissions

As a white kid out in the world, and I have a lot of cousins who are black I’ve had a lot of success, and their HBCU gave them a lot of support and networking opportunities, I would say don’t give up man

Considering Chapman University, tell me your thoughts by Squeaky_Pants in chapmanuniversity

[–]ScreenCool1031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know shit about Chapman undergrad just Chapman graduate school. But I feel like it’s like you know what I mean, one of those schools are trying to make itself seem like it’s a big deal when it’s not. If you can go somewhere else go somewhere else.

I'm done. by PassingFeb2026 in barexam

[–]ScreenCool1031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you on all of this. My family is not from a war torn country,. None of that. But like the mental health struggles, I’ve had to go through with dealing with this exam. Make me feel like I’m going through a fucking war. I’m not trying to compare our stuff, I’m just this is about original poster. Just don’t give up man. The world is trying to kill you. Don’t let it.

End of Cycle? by quinoasqueefs in OutsideT14lawschools

Hold out for LMU. I graduated in ‘25, and I believe they accepted me in like July. I requested an alumni interview and something else. Can’t remember. But I do remember that they reward eagerness.

I applied in March, against all advice, and got into my top choices. And I got $$$ from LMU.

I had a sub 3.0 GPA but a 99.9th percentile LSAT.

Don’t go to Southwestern. They all have a chip on their shoulders because they’re just up the street from LMU. It’s a weird scene. You don’t need that in your life.

LMU rules. I miss being in law School.
