In this episode of the Hey Future Lawyer Podcast, Ben breaks down everything pre-law students need heading into Thanksgiving—how to handle unsolicited advice, how to respond to relatives who don’t understand the LSAT, and how to avoid rushing into law school prematurely. He explains why applying late cripples scholarship chances and outlines what actually determines long-term law school ROI.

Ben also gives a sneak peek at Black Friday LSAT deals, the limited admissions-consulting spots he’s opening, and major updates to the HeyFutureLawyer drilling algorithm. He walks through the science behind adaptive drilling, why “question-type drilling” creates fake mastery, and how score ranges—not single scores—should guide when you take the LSAT.

This episode dives deep into law school outcomes, debt-to-income ratios, and the data behind which schools actually place grads in BigLaw and federal clerkships. Ben previews the 10 worst law schools in America (by debt-to-income), and explains how predatory pricing, weak placement, and bad advice can wreck a student’s financial future.

Finally, Ben answers an overflowing mailbag—LSAT timelines, whether to retake, GPA addenda, T14 chances, letters of recommendation, and whether law school is worth it for accounting majors or URM applicants. If you’re trying to make smart, data-driven decisions about the LSAT and law school, this episode gives you the frameworks you need.
