I have a dormant side hustle on with career transition and job hunting in banking. As some background, I've been in banking for several years, separately trained as a life/career coach, and freelanced for a CV/resume writing company for three years. I'm not ready to build out the hustle just yet (so I'm not pitching for business). But I want to ask, beyond interview training, what kinds of products and services would you find useful?
172. I was on a family vacation the week leading up to the June exam and would wake up to take a PT from ~7am-noon every day while everyone else would explore the city we were visiting. My parents still get a kick out of how high strung I was during that week and love to tell anyone who will listen about it to this day. Good times.
153 with a 3.9 GPA - got into my top choice, a T20, with a partial scholarship. I was also very involved in undergrad and knew my LSAT was super low for my desired school, so I applied by the early application deadline.
155 and I was a charity case on GPA but had work experience. Turns out undergrad GPA is a terrible predictor of success in law school.
149 and had a 3.2 UGPA. Only got into one law school. Got a 4.0, transferred to a T-9, graduated with honors. Morale of story: LSAT is stupid.
Similar story here! 143 with 3.8 UGPA. Fought my way into a NY law school. Passed NY & NJ bars on first attempt. Agreed! LSAT is stupid!!
141. Passed the bar firs time and practice with the best of em LSAT is not indicative of your future
152. Received full scholarships to low tier schools and received low scholarships for mid tier schools. 3.9 undergrad GPA.
159. I was below the 25th percentile for my school and still somehow got a partial scholarship (because I emailed and asked for one). I never told anyone my score.
171
152 - 3.8 GPA. I got full scholarships from 2nd and 3rd tiered schools and partial for 1st tier (columbia, which i rejected).
CLS gives pretty small scholarships unless you are 170+.
168 - 3.2 GPA. Went to T20.
171. Don’t be afraid to try and negotiate scholarships- not just the amounts but also conditions. For example if your scholarship for years 2 and 3 is dependent on you staying in the top 30% of the class, see if you can lower that requirement to say top 50% or even a certain GPA (my friend did this and just had to basically not be dead last).

155, got into a MF-range school and graduated first in my class. In retrospect, I should have studied for LSAT and learned how to take the test and gone to school for free, but I can’t complain about my outcome.
164 and it got me into my top choices
160
152 - received a half scholarship for my middle-tier 1 law school. 3.65 undergrad GPA
PS. Pro tip, where you apply in the cycle matters a lot more than you think. I got waitlisted at a lot of schools - had I applied earlier, probably would have just been accepted.
161, 4.0 GPA. Got into every school I applied to (but didn't apply to the top couple of schools, they sounded too competitive and no fun)
I had a ton of fun in law school too! It’s all about the school, there are some schools that are real obvious downers and some schools that are pretty damn fun.
158 (I often wonder if it would’ve made a diff if I studied/took a course; in retrospect, I wish I would have) + 3.9 undergrad and 7.75/8.0 grad.
The course was expensive and I couldn’t afford it. I actually wrote one of my essays about how that was a major factor.

153. 3.8 undergrad. Accepted to all Texas schools except UT and accepted to Boston U and C.
