I want to chime in to emphasize the importance of the LSAT, as I believe it made the biggest difference in my cycle (and for those applicants who are out of school and your GPA is set in stone, it is the single most important factor within your control).

I also want to encourage more MA folks to post their stats on LSN. I kept my LSN fully updated during my cycle and was very forthcoming with identifiable information on TLS, and it never affected me negatively. As many of us have noticed, there is a real lack of good information about MA cycles and sharing this information really helps others in their application process.

Good luck and feel free to PM.

EDIT: Please PM (same username) on top-law-schools.com as I'm leaving TLS because it was acquired by a racist.
