For graduate student Lissa Oshei, studying for the LSAT was not something she took lightly. Oshei, originally from Buffalo, N.Y., said she earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Puget Sound in Washington before coming to MSU and took an eight-week prep course to prepare for the exam. She said she received an OK score on the LSAT and decided to attend MSU College of Law after the school extended her a scholarship offer.
