165 LSAT - Almost a Really Good Score!

165 LSAT - You Almost Guaranteed You Will Be Rich and Powerful!

High scores, like a 165 lsat, don’t spell automatic admission to top law schools- although in the big scheme of things, they are pretty darn close!

You should be excited and proud that you did so well on one of the most challenging exams in the world.

So, you scored a 165 on your LSAT this October you may be thinking: "What Next?"

Again, congrats! You’re probably (rightly) thinking you will gain admission to one of the top law schools in the country! But, be cognizant that a 165 lsat, even if you have a fantastic undergrad record, will probably not be enough to get you into a top law school. Unless you take further action to help yourself. I followed this exact method below and got into a top 20 law school despite 163 lsat and 2.8 undergrad GPA!

For starters. you’re going to need to get busy overcoming this score in your application. We’re in the thick of the law school application process right now and there really isn't a moment to spare!

Seriously, don’t waste another 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):

• 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.
• Detailing how you overcame hardship. Don’t pass on adding an addendum to your application detailing the hardships you’ve overcome.
• Tout your diversity (race, religion, socio-economic background…whatever you’ve got!) in your personal statement and how this makes you a desirable applicant.
  

Isn't this all common commonsensical? Yet, so many people forget to cover the basics and these easy steps will go along way to really, really helping you out. If you need more ideas, some real world examples and additional trips and strategies:
