12 DAYS PRE-LAWMAS
- Be patient with yourself.
- Try to enjoy the process, not just the outcome.
- Take your time. Seriously!! no one is chasing you.
- Seek help early. Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed.
- Take as much time as you need.
- One good, quality hour of prep a week is enough.
- Don’t burn yourself out trying to be impressive.
- Reach out to 1L students. (Especially places you are interested in going to school)
- Build real relationships, not just a resume.
- Your GPA/LSAT does not define you.

Take care of your mental health. This is a long, trying process, don’t exhaust yourself before you even start.
