Mary Mobley (’25) accomplished a remarkable feat last semester: After taking the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), she received news that she scored a near-perfect 179 out of 180, higher than 99.99% of participants.
Dr. Gregg Frazer, dean of TMU’s John P. Stead School of Humanities, was very pleased to hear the news.
“I’m excited for Mary’s success, for our program, and for The Master’s University,” Frazer said. “It’s exciting for someone from our program to excel like that. It shows the quality of the students we have.”
Mobley believes her experience in TMU’s political studies program helped prepare her for these next steps.
“The focus on writing really helped me,” she said. “My entire job now is basically writing. In particular, Dr. Frazer and the other professors’ insistence on actual quality writing helped me a lot. I also really appreciated the solid philosophical backing I got, both from a theological perspective and from a political perspective.”
Frazer says that graduates from philosophy and political science programs have the highest law school acceptance rates, and TMU’s political studies program is designed to be a balanced combination of the two.
Mobley is in the process of applying to law schools and hopes to do a federal clerkship. She currently works as a press specialist and online editor at Students for Life of America.
As she looks to the future, Mobley is confident in the Lord’s providence and plan for her life.
“I had been praying that God would use the LSAT score, whatever it was, to give me clarity in terms of what my future plans were,” she said. “God really answered that. It was just a reminder that God provides, and God is good.”
