My Law School Journey (gpa, lsat, +getting into my dream school) 

I FULLY feel you on the embarrassment part! Law school was always apart of the plan since I was a kid. During my sophomore and junior year of undergrad I didn't feel it in my heart anymore. I always love politics and decide to go that route until the internship I was betting on didn't fall through. Being embarrassed and confused with not having a goal or a job lined up after graduation scared me because I always had a plan. Yet during my last semester my professor kept putting the idea of law back on the table. I decided to go to law school and being studying for the lsat since August. Thank you for being honest with your story because this journey isn't for the weak and is hard.

Hi, you just made me feel so much better! I recently quit my job to study and have been feeling like a loser, so it’s nice to see someone on the other side of that.

So unbelievably glad I found this video, I’m a fellow screenwriting undergrad major pursuing entertainment law! About to take the LSAT for the second time on Monday and apply to schools later this month. We have super similar stats so this was really, really, REALLY inspiring as I prepare to be done with this stupid test and send my applications in 😭 Thanks so much for sharing your journey!!! ❤

Omg so glad i found this channel as i enter my law school journey!

Hi! I ran into your channel today and something told me you’re relatable than most, and I clicked on your video. And honestly, you truly are! 😄 I’m currently studying to retake the LSAT in August. Love the video!

I'm applying this fall and I'm so excited and also nervous! I'm 27, I took some time off in undergrad and worked to kind of decide what direction I wanted to take, and I finally decided I should be what I always wanted to be when I grew up, now that I have the confidence. Now I'm finally graduating with my bachelor's next spring, yay! I work full-time and don't have any family help so I'm not able to be able to quit working unfortunately, but I was lucky enough to qualify for a fee-waiver and that helped with prep materials a lot! I also caved and got a tutor haha. But I am SO glad I did, because I've improved tons. I relate what you said about the LSAT, though. It's been EXTREMELY hard! I don't naturally think that way so learning a whole new way of thinking has been a real challenge! I've been studying for almost a year now. I took the April test and bombed it with a 151, but I retook it a couple of days ago and feel MUCH better. I've been scoring higher in PTs too, so that's hopeful! Working in healthcare full time while doing undergrad and studying for the LSAT isn't easy, so I have to often remember to be kind to myself. During this process, my boyfriend realized he was naturally really good at the LSAT (lucky him, haha) and he has been studying and doing REALLY well. He's tutored me now as well and wants to be a tutor for 7sage or something in the near future! I also relate because I also really want to hurry up and get in as soon as possible, especially because I'm already in my late 20s and have spent time since I was 18 in work that I was very unhappy in. However, if I need to wait a cycle to get my LSAT better if need be, I definitely will. People much older than me apply, and it's better to hold off and get a better score and full ride! I do kinda hope that I do score well on this June test and I don't have to take it anymore, because man, I am TIRED haha. I am so happy for you, though! You're extremely inspiring and I enjoyed watching this :) good luck in law school!!

Hi, Patty. Finding your account on TikTok, following you and now learning your past made me feel like this is a call from God, just like you, we are similar. I had a difficult past, and had to sit for an exam which doesn't allow me to get myself into a Law School. My second option was Scriptwriting, and now, I'm doing Media Production, which as what you've mentioned, our route alikely different. Despite doing Scriptwriting, my heart yearns and felt heavy everytime anyone mentions Law or anything related to Law School and at one point, I was depressed. Your video, this video gave me hope, that one day, with this Degree I'm doing, I would be able to get into Law School. It would take longer than I expected, but still I can get in. Being older than the majority, is not wrong or something to be embarrased about, thank you for the reminders. Thank you for making me feel better, or at least lifting this burden in my heavy heart for at least once after almost five years. Sending you so much love! xx

Thank you for sharing!! Going down almost the exact same path

Just subscribed! Thank you for sharing your story!!!

As someone who did the arts it's so nice to see someone who transitioned from the arts as well.

Next video: A Day in the Life of a 1L! Congrats on your accomplishments and the many more to come ❤

Congratulations!!

I don't usually comment on videos but I could not stop on this one. I felt every single word you said about being a first gen and being afraid. As a first-generation, dreaming of big goals feels impossible. I would love to know more about the process and what helped you during your Lsat prep. What resources did you use and how you were able to score higher over time. Thank you for your vulnerability!

Thank you so much for sharing !

Thank you so much for sharing your story! Encouraging for us who don’t follow the exact “traditional” path and have the most stellar LSAT scores. Getting ready to test in June and so so nervous! Would love to know more about what law school is like!

You are so brave!!

Thank you for posting! I’m thinking about applying and your experience was so helpful!

I love this! Could you make a video on self studying tips for the LSAT?

Hi, I need some help / advice. I’m from the US and I started undergrad in fall 2019 and due to family circumstances (passing) everything changed for my family and I. I was online for 3 and 1/2 years 2019-2022. So I didn’t do clubs or have any leadership opportunities. I didn’t do internships. I worked part time but it was just a retail job (nothing to do with law). In fall 2023 I’ve been redoing my 3rd for university in Canada. But I didn’t do any leadership things, I don’t have a job, and I can’t do an internship this summer because I’m only going studying for the LSAT. Should I still focus on going to law school or just do a masters? My mom says I need a backup plan. But I’ve read that masters is a waste if you know you want to go to law school.

Hey! If you don’t mind me asking what law school do you go to? I’m currently a high school senior interested in law and I’m just curious 💕

Very inspirational story of determination. Was captivated by her smile, and with a gorgeous face like hers, she could win over a jury with a unanimous decision!! 🥰🥰💋💋💋💋💋🌹

Your gpa was a 3.97 out of what? Where I go, it goes up to 4.3. (Also congrats!!!!!)

Congratulations

❤❤❤

Are you currently working as well while going to school? Or how are you affording living expenses?

Is communications a strong unddergrad choice? I have heard it may be seen as less respected or rigorous than an English degree

What was the first set of Lsat scores - first 2 times? thanks

Hello. I am eight years removed from physical therapy school. My first four years of undergrad I had a 2.77 GPA. Spent two more years in undergrad to fix my grades and got a 3.9 over those two years before finally going to PT school and getting a 3.8 during those three years of grad school. since I have four years of terrible undergrad grades, is it impossible to get a full ride to a T14 even if I were to get a stellar LSAT since they focus on undergrad grades? I know getting into T14 isn’t everything but I want to keep my options open as I don’t know what speciality I want to go into. I am fixated on getting a full ride because I still have six figures of student loans from PT school (got it down from 210 K to 140 K on a terrible salary in Maryland, but that’s when I was single and it’s just not easy with a spouse and step-kid). I also know that sometimes it’s fine going to the best school in geographical location, but I’m not really sure where I want to live in the future. Looking forward to hearing from you!
