170 LSAT

High scores, like a 170 lsat, don’t spell automatic admission to law school…

So, you scored a 170 on your LSAT this October?

First, congrats! You’re probably (rightly) thinking you will gain admission to one of the top law schools in the country! 
Even if you have a fantastic undergrad record, it will not be enough to overcome a low lsat score.

If you do have a low lsat score -  you’re going to need to get busy overcoming this score in your application.  But maybe – - your wondering how to make your application perfect or maybe even how to overcome a low or average undergraduate GPA?  If you’ve got lingering questions, you need to get busy as we’re in the thick of the law school application process right now! 

Seriously, don’t waste a minute.  Your law school application needs to be perfect. What constitutes a perfect application (in lieu of a 180 lsat and a 4.0 undergrad GPA):

1) Leveraging your work experience.  Tell the law school admissions officers why your work experience is more important than your academic record, or at least as in important.
2) Detailing how you overcame hardship.  Don’t pass on adding an addendum to your application detailing the hardships you’ve overcome.
3) Tout your diversity (race, religion, socio-economic background…whatever you’ve got!) in your personal statement and how this makes you a desirable applicant.   

If you still need help crafting the perfect law school admissions application, you’ll need Covert Tactics and Law School Secrets. These books teach you exactly, step by step how to overcome a less than stellar lsat by giving you insight into exactly what the law school admissions officer is looking for in your applications. They are highly recommended! Good luck!

Law School Secrets

We’re getting ready to launch a whole new site on the law school admissions test.  I hate the LSAT so it will be painful to write about it every week – but- it needs to be done.  The LSAT, of course, does not measure your intelligence  - nor does it measure your ability to reason, process, think, etc. It’s a silly standardized test meant to keep certain people down.  This new site will be dedicated to blasting this test out of the water by giving example problems, hot tips, reviewing LSAT prep materials and the like.  Basically, we are going to teach you how to beat the test.  So, please stay tuned!

Georgia Law Schools

Georgia is one of the hottest places in the United States to attend law school these days. There are some obvious reasons like great weather and great schools that are drawing in law students from around the world. Also, Georgia is hot because there is a strong job market in Atlanta. It’s just gravy that the cost of living is really low in Georgia as well – well at least when compared with New York, Boston or San Francisco. Here are your choices for law schools in Georgia: Emory Law School, Mercer Law School, John Marshall Law School, Georgia State Law School and the University of Georgia Law School. If you’re attending any of these schools and have an opinion on them please drop in a comment.
