Hello. I am 17-years-old and just graduated high school. I will be attending the University of California, Santa Barbara this fall and will be majoring in Political Science with a minor in Philosophy and possibly Sociology. I plan to set up a Pre-Law program.
I have accomplished a lot in high school. I graduated high school an AP Scholar with Honors and made a rousing speech. I graduated at the top of my AP classes. I understand though that college is different from this.
I have aspirations to go to an Ivy League law school. I understand that the two most important things in admissions to an Ivy League law school like Harvard Law is GPA and LSAT. I will work my butt off in college to get the highest grades possible, covering the GPA. However, it is the LSAT I am a little worried about.
I understand that to get into an Ivy League law school, you should get 170+ possibly 175+ on the LSAT. I read that this is in the 98th percentile.
I have nothing to do this summer. I do not begin college until the fall. My friend got a near perfect score on the SAT and he told me he had studied that for 2 years. So I figured I can apply the same strategy to the LSAT so, I bought the "Cracking the LSAT" from the Princeton Review (Because the Princeton Review guides has served me well on my AP classes). However, looking into it, the LSAT looks much more difficult than I imagined.
My question is how can I best prepare for the LSAT? I know I should self-study a prep book like the one I bought but I should also take a course. Where can I take a course? Where do I even get started? Should I even worry about the LSAT right now?
What is the best plan of action to prepare for the LSAT so I can get a 170+ in the future?
