Tweetable Quotes
“The LSAT is not your destiny...it does not dictate how you’re going to do in law school or how you’re going to be as an attorney. It’s just one factor among many. So if you’re having difficulty cracking the LSAT, don’t take no for an answer. Definitely give it another shot and another shot after that.”
