Although I was never able to get my LSAT as high as I would have liked it due to my work schedule interfering with my study schedule, I believe my undergraduate performance and work experience allowed me to have the cycle I had. I'm very grateful for the opportunities ahead of me and that my lackluster LSAT didn't hold me back like I initially feared it would.

Good luck to all of you fellow "reverse splitters!"
