What is the most important part of the application process?

@JLawStudent, thank you for your question.

The application process is really multiple pillars (the LSAT Score, the GPA, the resume, the essays, the rec letters). There may not be one "most" important, but it is true that the LSAT is one of the biggest parts, and the most malleable. After you graduate, you cannot change your GPA much, you cannot truly control the rec letters, but you can control the LSAT score by studying as much as you can and getting the best score you can. Further, LSATMax offers tutoring sessions and essay review for the personal statements/essays, so take advantage of those.

Overall, though, the most important part is to try to show the admissions committees that you will be successful -- whether you do that with LSAT scores, GPAs, essays, or all the above does not matter as much as the whole picture, which shows clearly, "I will be a successful lawyer."

Hope that helps!
Nate, LSATMax Instructor
