[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are real-life examples from the past 3 years, as LSAT scores have soared with online test administration and undergrad GPAs have soared during remote learning

One of my kids had perfect GPA and LSAT and strong academic achievements, but had literally never held a job - got in everywhere except Yale, received multiple Top 6 full-ride offers

The other had near-perfect GPA, a high 160s LSAT, and 3 years work experience in a US Attorney's Office, including as senior paralegal on a very high-profile trial, with a glowing letter of recommendation from the attorney on that case - shut out of the Top 14

If that real-world legal experience didn't make up for an LSAT <170 I can't imagine what undergrad part-time job would. It's all GPA and LSAT[/quote]

OP here. How have ur kids done since then?[/quote]

A lot changed between 2020 and 2023 - that makes a difference. Quality of college makes a difference. Getting awards make a difference. f your other child got at least a 172 on the LSAT that would have helped a bit. Also gender matters, more females apply to law school. The work experience could have helped your second child if they were closer to the medians. Every T14 school has a median LSAT of at least 170 so it is a disadvantage to be in the 160s. [/quote]
