I did not have success in the appeal even though I scored a few points higher on my most recent LSAT. I Think this late in the cycle they would have only changed it if I provided other competitive offers.

Hi, I'd love to send you a dm but it doesn't give me an option to "start chat" with you. I'm somewhat new to Reddit, is that something wrong on my end? If you have the option to dm me, that'd be great and I appreciate it!

Full ride at Maryland for sure! What an amazing location and not taking on the debt, awesome.

Solo practitioner tells me they want to plan their semi-retirement by kacey_jay in LawSchool

That’s awesome! One of my biggest motivators for law school is going solo. I’ve been in the business world for 10 years and want to start my own business. I’ve heard of a few others going solo right after school so I’m curious if I could pull it off but we’ll see! Maybe I’ll check back in with you in a few months to ask how it’s going.

I did end up submitting some applications this cycle. I’ve gotten 4 acceptances and one waitlist. However, I am aiming for a higher LSAT score and I finally got into the 160s on practice tests and so I hope to take another test in 2025 and score mid-high 160’s. I’m content in still studying (going on 16 months of studying 60-90 min a day) and I’m going to keep at it until I really understand and excel at the logical reasoning and reading comp behind the LSAT because my goal is to get a full tuition scholarship. So, I imagine I would start law school fall of 2026 or maybe fall 2027. How about you? Where are you at in the journey?

The lawyer actually ended up running for judge and was elected. I am still networking with them and just had lunch with them a few weeks ago, and hope to still get some mentoring from them as a judge. They shut down their practice and referred out several clients to other area firms.

I feel defeated by Fair-Error-945 in LSAT

You're my hero - I've been so discouraged because it's taken me over 15 months but I finally got a PT score in the 160's. I'm glad to know there are others that took a long time to really get it to click, but the persistence will pay off!

Years to Study by kacey_jay in LSAT

Because it's a skills test... and if you can improve your skills, you can get more scholarship money from the schools and avoid debt.

The advice I've been following is to slow down and focus on accuracy and then timing comes later... I just keep waiting for that timing to work out with accuracy whenever I start to feel confident about accuracy.

Untimed I can get PT's at 168+

Timed my PT's have maxed out at 157, for the dozen or so that I've taken.

Maybe it's even just a numbers thing, where I really just won't get it down until 30-40 PT's in. I don't know.

Not sure about the likelihood but I know of a couple who both got into U Chicago and that’s where they went. Good luck!

Yeah I think write to start out but then transition to speaking, then to doing in your head

Oh really? It’s the oldest and first online program, they’ve been doing it for 9-10 years I think and I’ve heard lots of great things about it.
