LSAT Score Does Not Excel In Law School

As one may see on my transcript, my grades may not be entirely perfect but I worked very hard this semester to prove, to myself and to others, that the girl from a country in Africa could be a leader among her mates from more developed countries and I put in tremendous effort to get the highest grades. I'm not excellent with figures, but I’m not relenting in my efforts to doing better. I am focused, ambitious and I believe in reaching for the stars because these attributes have been instilled in me as a child. Furthermore, I've been surrounded by people that overcame obstacles like my mother, who became the first female in her current position at the Central Bank of Nigeria which is equivalent to the Federal Reserve. Furthermore, I am appreciative of the opportunities I have, which

Major changes in my life have affected my high school career, but a large impact came from the death of my father in eighth grade. Before his passing, I was an average A/B student in middle school and even elementary school, which quickly changed in 8th grade when my classes became too hard for me to handle. I decided the best thing for my mental health was to drop out of my higher level classes. This lead to being in standard classes throughout my first year of high school with minimal effort from my part. After constantly missing school, I failed my second quarter. Instead of bouncing back from this, it pushed me down, making me believe I would never be able to recover. Without any motivation, I ended my ninth grade year with a grade point average of 1.4.

My freshman and sophomore years of high school my grades did not represent my abilities due to a lot of health issues resulting from 3 different concussions. I spent quite a lot of time unable to go to school and falling behind due to not feeling well from the concussions as well as going to doctor appointments and being in the hospital. At this time it was hard for me to retain information and pay attention due to chronic migraines resulting from the concussions as well as a lack of sleep due to insomnia I had developed as a side effect from the concussions. All of this made my grades not as great as they should have been my first two years of high school and this does not reflect myself as a student. As my junior year began I was able to

Let me begin by stating that I am grateful for this opportunity and appreciative of your time and consideration with my application. Please allow me a few moments to provide you with my background to help explain why I wish to enroll in law school. Through my personal statement, I hope to convince you that my experience, decisions, and actions have shaped my desire to become an attorney and that I am an ideal law school candidate for [LAW SCHOOL NAME HERE].

1. There are many attributes that I have that are much more indicative of my potential than my SAT scores. To begin, I am a dedicated student-athlete who also takes AP classes in all of my core courses. In field hockey, I was a four-year starter, First Team All-Conference for three years, Second Team All-State, and in my senior year I was voted captain by my teammates; to add, I am doing all of this while taking AP classes. This shows that even though my scores for a single standardized test were not as high as I would have liked.

I have tried my utmost best in all my courses; both high school and college courses. I made it my responsibility to take challenging classes that are taught by rigorous and strict teachers that will give me an understanding of the real world and college; there will be no exceptions. However, my academic record does not describe my character as a student adequately. For History 102, I was on track to receive an A for the class after the final, but my older brother sadly died, and I could not complete the course. I am going to retake the

Truth be told, their only requirement is for me to have a 3.5 GPA or higher by the end of each semester. I am proud to say that I have never neglected to meet this requirement. In addition, my folks are pleased all the AP classes I have taken and how I continue to challenge myself. Suddenly, junior year came so did the ACT. The first time I took the test, I scored a 21. After that, I began to see myself as a 21. In other words, I saw myself as not good enough. The national average on the ACT is 20, so in reality I did just fine. The problem is: I kept comparing myself to the Claire Davis-es of the world. After reading The Overachievers, I realized that other students receiving a high score, does not make mine any lower. I may not have the SAT, but this book still related to me and my test taking abilities. This book reminded me that we are people. We are unique and perfect in our own ways. We are not

My history as a student is not great; I had a lot of ups and downs frequently. I used to have problems staying out of trouble. Also my concentration wasn’t ever any good either so my ability to pay attention was not good either. My grades were barely passing and some were failing grades. I went through high school behind on my credits and not taking school as serious as I should as I should of. My discipline record in the past wasn’t good either; I always would get suspensions and detentions for my actions.

Akin to the assessments used as part of university entrance formulas, the LSAT distinguishes as an essential element for acceptance to an ABA-accredited college of law. A half-day examination, offered four times per year, the LSAT administers from designated testing centers by the LSAC for prospective law school candidates as depicted in Figure 6.4. By and large, those examination dates precede registration deadlines of approximately one month with actual test dates specified on their website. And unlike most undergraduate institutions, hosting several alternative methods to enter which might otherwise circumvent entrance requirements of college freshman, the LSAT mandates as an ABA requirement. To increase the probability of acceptance, applicants

To make a long story short, I didn't try hard enough on the ACT. For instance, I didn't study for it outside of a few online practice review sessions. I was too cocky. Regrettably, I knew I was a smart kid, but I didn't put in the time or effort to really succeed in taking the biggest standardized test of my life.

My SAT scores aren’t the best because I lacked motivation to learn in high school and barely studied before taking the test. However, after graduating from high school, I stopped playing video games, which took a big part of my time, and motivated myself to become a life-long learner and improve every day. For example, during my first year at IU, I worked hard to be involved in campus organizations such as the Toastmasters Club and the Kelley Student Government while also working hard to get a 3.8 GPA. As a result of this effort, I got accepted into the Kelley School and the Business Honors Program. After transitioning from an average student in high school to a high achiever in college, I realized that any goal is achievable if one if willing

I applied to several CUNY colleges, where I inadvertently neglected to submit a crucial document for the admission process. This unconscious error caused me not to be accepted into any of the schools I applied to with the application I sent in. Another devastating blow, but I went to a community college to do direct admissions, where I got admitted using my high school equivalency diploma. I believe that was a very long and emotional process, but despite all obstacles, I had an excellent first semester where I got a 4.0 GPA. I finished off my most recent and penultimate semester having an impressive 3.9 GPA and held many ranks in my school. I was accepted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, made the president’s list three times, took honor’s courses and applied and got accepted to graduate as an honors

My academic history has been dubious over the years I have been in school. I say iffy because my grades have been all over the place if you will. One quarter I 'll A 's and B 's. The next quarter I may have A 's, B 's, and C 's. In elementary I had mostly A 's. If not then A 's and B 's. In middle school is when I started to receive C 's, but I somehow managed to receive A/B honor roll at the end of quarters. Currently I have 1 F, 1 C, a few B 's, and 3 A 's. I really need to work in Prof. Comm. because I have an F in it. My grades never have any correlation between them. The classes I have been successful in is science, technology, English, and history. I 've been successful in science because science is my favorite subject. I 've been successful in technology because I pay attention and utilize the electronics for my benefit. I 've been successful in English because I take good notes and ask questions if any. Also, I 've been successful in history because I find history really enjoyable and very interesting. The classes I have struggled in are math, and Spanish. I say math because I usually don’t remember all the formulas, equation forms, and ways to break down an equation. Also, I haven 't been successful in Spanish because I usually don’t study the material as much as

My LSAT score in no way represents my future promise. I come from a immigrant family, where our first language is not English. I have worked very hard to do well in school, but I have never been able to do well on standardized tests, such as the LSAT or SAT. No matter how many hours I devote to studying, I have never been able to excel on any type of standardized tests. But just because I did not perform well on standardized test, does not mean I will not perform well in future endeavors. My college transcript is a excellent example of how I did not do well on my SAT, yet I still managed to succeed in my undergraduate studies.

My LSAT score is not an accurate reflection of my ability to succeed in law school because I took the exam while battling an illness that I had been with which I had had grappled the entire week leading up to the test. I received a score of 158 on the October LSAT, which was at least 7 points off of the scores of 165 and higher that I had been obtaining during practice tests. During the test, for minutes at a time, I would have to pause within sections, close my eyes and clutch my head, and then wait until I could bring myself to continue the section again. I almost left the exam and cancelled the test, but mustered what strength I could to remain in the test room during the exam. Because my dad was undergoing intensive cancer
