state ag is crazy
i had a 3.4 in undergrad so it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible
windyMagician
17:11
lol
i don't want to stay at the state ag forever
that i know of
but idk maybe who knows. that would be cool in a way to go to law school then come back
what would be even cooler is if they would pay for it
but that's never gunna happen

theres some stat that every point better you do on the lsat earns you tens of thousands of extra scholarship dollars. with a 3.4 and a good lsat you wil have several full ride options especially if you set your sights on your regional schools
yeah. i guess i really just need to commit to studying but i'm being lazy. gym schedule in swing first. then lsat schedule. i've been telling myself this for like 3 years though.... ugh
windyMagician
17:16

17:16

PizzaDude
17:22
i went to the gym more than ever while studying for the lsat
17:23
I was able to work two jobs and keep a consistent gym routine while studying for the LSAT by spreading out my LSAT studying over a manageable period of time

windyMagician
17:24
I'm going to the gym twice a day now bc I don't have a bf
17:24
