You no longer need the LSAT to apply to a top 20 law school.

Over 65 ABA law schools now accept JD-Next, including Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Boston College, and Fordham. It is an 8-week online course modeled on a real 1L Contracts class, followed by a 4-hour exam. $299 all-in, about an hour a day.

Students who complete it even earn higher first-year grades, about a 0.2 GPA boost on average.

ConnectPrep runs the most comprehensive coached JD-Next program: weekly case-briefing reviews, practice on every module, essay feedback, and a final exam simulation, integrated with full law school admissions advising.
