love love love this video! i'm gonna be a freshman in college this fall but i already set my heart and mind on going to a top law school after i graduate literally since junior year in high school, and ur video is super super helpful to ppl like me who wanna go to law school but are unsure of how to approach this one, big, tough goal. plz make more videos like this one and i subbed!

Hello Ms. Maha Maven, thank you for taking the time out to make this very informative video. It is really encouraging to see a black woman giving advice about the process. I wish you the best throughout your law school journey ❤️🇳🇬🤗

Subscribed! Looking forward to watching more videos from you. I get a little depressed because I've had a few bad semesters (dad got sick had to financially support him so my grades went down) so I'm hoping that won't stop me from getting into a good school. Loved all your tips!

this video really resonates with me especially the advice you're giving about the narrative you have to create on the personal statement to the people that will potentially accept you into law school. this gives me more reason to pursue my dreams to get into law school

Thank you for posting this. I have been stuck on my personal statement essay for awhile and listening to your video helped me understand how to better lay out and explain the continuity of my life experiences. Again, many thanks! Side note: you are a wonderfully articulate public speaker!

Thank you so much for these tips and advice!!! I've added UPenn to my list of schools, so I'll be binging your content!

Always great to hear you! Thank you Maha, I am sure I am not going to get into a top law school this next August, but it helps to know I just need to give myself time. However, I signed up for the LSAT in January 16 and I am afraid my score is not going to be the best, but I needed the pressure. Hope it doesn't affects me in the future. Again, thank you!

Maha is on point with her perspectives! For those of you thinking about law schools and researching what to do, you are on the right track.

You look amazing thanks for the advice and sharing your story.

You are absolutely stunning and so articulate! You are goals! I got a really low score on my lsat my tutor backed out on me and I rushed and made a bad decision and took it. I hope to retake it. I hope this doesn’t hurt me in trying to get into law school. Hugs from Texas! (;

God bless your beautiful:) Thanks for the tips really helped I’m in my last year of undergrads and freaking out because I’m like 2.7 although the courses I’m taking now are going to be As and Bs I’m sure my gpa will raise just looking to get prepared been worth g for about 7 years and just got back into school

Hi, Could you possibly share and show how to study for the LSAT ?

Hi there, I'm attending law school in Canada (I had to take the LSAT too)! People study for the LSAT in all kinds of ways, there are courses you can take in person or online or you can buy books and self-study. I took an in person course which I found helpful, but I did that because I knew that's how I learn best. Khan Academy has a free course you can take and many people have very successfully studied on their own. There are some really popular books that keep coming up as suggestions; PowerScore Bibles are always topping lists. At the end of the day it depends on how you learn best. The absolute most important thing about studying for the LSAT is practice. The hard thing about the test is how short it is - you only have 35 minutes a section. The only way to improve your speed without compromising accuracy is getting practice. Good luck and I hope this was helpful!

I’m still an undergrad but I’ve been doing HELLA research on this stuff. One thing I would DEFINITELY say is try to get some leadership experience and be dedicated to at least one school organization or club. That’s something I really wish I did in high school. Also, please PLEASE take your grades seriously, I also wish I did that, too. In college, I would highly suggest NOT majoring in pre-law. That really doesn’t help you that much for law school. Your major doesn’t matter TOO much (unless you wanna be a patent lawyer, in which case a STEM major is pretty recommended) but you need to make sure you take classes that have a lot of writing involved, like philosophy and writing classes, for example. Make sure you take classes that teach you logic, as well. Mostly, at least for me, the thing I wish I would’ve done in high school to prepare me better for the law school application process is just make sure you stay dedicated to school and try to be as involved as you can!!

Don't prep for the lsat, read voraciously, join the debate club, write stories and have them critiqued, join a public speaking club like Toastmasters, take a logic class, focus on word problems in math class, join the chess club, do crossword and logic puzzles, always run your writing through a grammar app and review the results carefully- sometimes the app is wrong when you can confidently say when the app is wrong you are ready.

I am 13 years old. I have more than 6 months ^^

I’ve been reading that going to law school and becoming a lawyer in America today is the worthless because the job market is over saturated and most people with law degrees are struggling and begging to find any work they can.

@sophie7780

4 жыл бұрын

Hi! This is late and you've probably already applied and I'm a random law student from Canada but just in case here's some answers to your questions if you still need some guidance! (US law schools and Canadian law schools both grade on a B curve and require the LSAT - my answers might be a bit different from the American experience but it should apply.) The curve means that every course's average must be a B. At my school, a B is between 74-76%. The course average cannot be 73.9 or 76.1. This is very strictly adhered to. What this really comes down to is that you're not being graded on the objective quality of your work as much as you are being graded as compared to your classmates. The most useful way I've heard it put is this: if a professor really wants to give someone an A, someone else has to get a C. It's harsh and it's hard to beat the curve, but it's not impossible. Regarding prepping for the LSAT, I took a Princeton Review course. I found it helpful and a good way to keep me disciplined but personally I'm not sure I'd take the same course again, I'd probably go with a different company. That being said, whether or not to take a course depends a lot on how you learn and your needs. Do you need a flexible course? Something online or self-study with books might be best. Do you like the structure of a classroom environment? Go for an in person class. Financial considerations should be taken into account too - you're not only potentially paying for a course, but you'll have to pay for books, registering for the LSAT, application fees, and eventually tuition. Ultimately the most important thing is to get a ton of practice. I downloaded the 7sage app and used the proctor to run practice tests as often as possible; if I didn't have time for a full test, I'd do some timed sections instead. The only way to improve your score is practice. Good luck and I hope this was helpful! And if you've already submitted your application wishing you all the success!

I think 1-2 previous exams were available for free on the LSAT website when I was studying for it. There are also in-person and online courses. And some KZread vids that can help. For example, they will break down questions from previous analytical reasoning sections and show how to get the correct answer. But the best way to study is by taking practice tests over and over and over again.

I have also linked a book of successful Harvard law essays.

Hi! I have watched this video about three times, and really appreciate your advice. I am an incoming junior studying psychology and environmental science hoping to pursue a carer in environmental law. My top law schools post grad are UC Berkeley, Lewis and Clark, and Columbia. I have a 3.75 GPA, that I hope ti rise these next few semester, and have had a few internships these past two years including an internship at a Haitian law firm, a marketing intern at a San Francisco non profit, and a media and audio editing intern at a non profit in San Francisco. This year I will be a research assistant to a psych study on the relationship children have with economic status. I am also working on publishing study on environmental knowledge bases in port-au-prince Haiti in collaboration with the World Bank. Anyway, I was hoping you could offer me some advice on what I should consider adding to my resume? When should I take my LSTAT? As I am considering, taking the year after I graduate off to work at as an intern for an American law firm in Paris, would you recommend I take the LSTAT for the first time this June, 2020 and again in October 2020? or Should I take it the spring of 2021? and again the summer of 2021, if I would be apply to start the Fall of 2022? (This is if I take th year off to work).I was also wondering what extra classes you would recommend I fit n my schedule these next two years. Besides my major, minor, and core classes, I was wondering if it might be best to squeeze in some political science, economics, and philosophy classes as well? I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I just stumbled across the video and I had a question: If were supposed to work a year and a half after our undergrad, we would have to keep in touch with our professors then in order to get our letters of recommendation?

What would make the perfect personal statement? I know that I gotta sell the product which is myself to law schools such as Yale, UGA, etcetera. I'm going with UGA due to its reasonable deadline being June 1st, 2021. I'm polishing off a possible Dean's List performance at Georgia Southern University in my final semester at the institution. What would be your advice?
