Nontraditional applicant looking for realistic advice
I've been a paramedic since 2014 with extensive FTO and leadership experience. I'm currently completing my UG. I have a 4.0 right now, and plan to keep that, but my first college experience wasn't so great. I'm likely to finish with a final GPA of 3.19.
I took my first cold diagnostic with absolutely no exposure to LR and scored a 154. I've been studying for about 3 weeks and am floating around 160 right now. My goal is to get to 168+ (ideally 170+). I won't graduate with my UG until Spring 2028, so plan right now is to take the LSAT in late summer of 2027 (or sooner if I start PTing super well consistently).
I'm looking for some advice on how to spend my study energy, good resources, etc. Currently I'm using LawHub and I purchased The Loophole book.
Also, the schools I'm interested in are:
University of Denver (PT program)
CU Boulder
ASU (online)
KU
UCLA
I have a strong interest in employment, civil rights, and prosecution.
How does my nontraditional splitter status look for these schools and scholarships? Any advice as I begin this journey? Any experience with these schools (especially the DU PT or ASU online)?
