Bailey and Ethan start in the 7Sage forum: whether it's ever too late to start law school, how to think about the October LSAT timeline, why studying less can actually raise your score, and the real answer to "should I cancel my 158?" They also unpack a quiet red flag that sinks strong applications, including why quitting your job to study can backfire even with a 174.

Then they talk to Jacob, an unrecruited walk-on goalkeeper headed to Michigan Law. He breaks down his LSAT score cluster, his 3.93 GPA, and the essay almost everyone would tell him not to write: a perspective statement on Israel and Palestine, written less than two years after October 7th. Jacob explains why he wrote it anyway, how he handled the topic, and why the risk paid off, plus how a soccer story about a five-foot-nine walk-on keeper became a pitch for a career in sports and NIL law.
