In this solo mailbag episode, Ben dives deep into LSAT score variance and why so many test-takers misunderstand their performance. He makes the case for not canceling your June LSAT score, even if it felt rough, and explains why one or two points can make or break your admissions and scholarship chances.
Ben also unpacks how law schools really view extracurriculars, volunteer hours, and softs—and why most applicants are nowhere near as “unimpressive” as they fear. He talks candidly about law school debt, which schools are actually worth six-figure loans, and why a school like Cal Western is financially dangerous.
Later in the episode, Ben gives tailored advice to high-achieving applicants, including one with a 4.0 and 170+ LSAT, discussing whether to retake and how to optimize personal statements for big law goals. Finally, he reassures a student working hard toward a 175+ that long prep times aren’t a red flag—and may even predict success in the legal field.
