Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The LSAT Arms Race: Why 170 Doesn't Mean What It Used To

Q: How should I plan studying if I have ADHD and need accommodations?

Plan around extended time and breaks by simulating test conditions, building stamina with longer practice exams, and coordinating with LSAC/LSAT accommodations early to ensure appropriate support on test day.

The LSAT Arms Race: Why 170 Doesn't Mean What It Used To

Q: Is an international applicant's GPA weight ignored?

Yes, many US law schools treat international undergraduate GPAs as not directly comparable, so LSAT often carries more weight for international applicants, making a high LSAT especially important.

The LSAT Arms Race: Why 170 Doesn't Mean What It Used To

Q: What kind of score do you need for a full ride?

It depends on the law school's medians; top programs require LSATs near the 75th percentile with solid GPAs, while lower-ranked schools may offer full rides at lower LSAT/GPA combos. Always check ABA 509 reports and target scores relative to each school's medians.

Grad PLUS Is Gone. Law School Scholarships Are About to Change

Q: What is the most impactful change in law school financing right now?

Grad PLUS loans are gone for new borrowers and federal borrowing caps have been imposed, meaning students must cover more of the cost with other sources and schools must justify tuition more transparently.

Your LSAT Score Drops Wednesday. The Deadline Is Thursday.

Q: How impactful is GPA for getting into a top 14 law school?

A high LSAT is crucial; GPA is the second most important factor after the LSAT score.
