If you're certain you're going to do PI work then go to the best school you can get into. The top schools have their own programs that go along with PSLF. Many will make your PSLF payments.

@"The Judges" said: @10000019 want to have the option to be part of biglaw and be able to work anywhere in the country. If ED WUSTL is binding then don't do it. Odds of big law won't be great and you certainly won't be able to land a job in …

What are your career goals?

What did you do before the LSAT?

OP could be a lawyer not trained in the USA. There are schools and bar exams outside the USA.

There is no standard order. On the actual test there will also be an experimental section, so there's the sixth section.

If you leave the body empty and put a future date ("Spring 2020") that should capture your intention. Alternatively, in your interests you could list that field of law and mention you are joining XYZ to learn more about it.

Unless you're an academic, it's a waste of time to actively complete both a JD and an MD. If you go to a school that offers a combined program, you save a year. But the program is absolutely brutal. There are zero fields where you need both degrees.…

Bumping this so more people can see.

Fluctuation isn't unusual at your level. Check out how I scored leading up to my exam (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/13544/impromptu-signed-up-for-december-blogish): PT71 (11/26) 169 (LR1:-6, LR2: -0, LG: -4, RC: -5) PT82 (11/2…

Apply broadly based on your preference of attending, the speed of decision, and whether the ED is binding. You should really consider retaking though. Way better opportunities with a higher LSAT.

3L big law hunting is hard but it's worth a try. despite bidding the least grade selective firms that I could and focussing heavilly on Michigan firms where my ties should have been appealing I'd like to point out to future bidders for U of M …

Below gives you an idea of my experience. Outside of the top scorers, I think fluctuation is normal. PT60 (11/14) 165 (LR1: -4, LR2: -1, LG: -10, RC: -3) PT65 (11/20) 169 (LR1: -2, LR2: -2, LG: -4, RC: -7) PT70 (11/24) 161 (LR1: -3, LR2: -7, LG: …

I'm in the minority. I interpret the language "withdraw all other offers" as meaning rescind all the applications you submitted to other schools. Else, the language "reject all other offers" would make more sense to me. Regardless, I don't think th…

I think you should first consider whether law school is the right move for you. You mentioned IP law but the impression I got from your post is that you do not know much IP jobs. Make sure you want to be a lawyer before you give up three years. As …

@"Sue Doe Nimb" said: The prestige difference between Georgetown and WUSTL is nominal. I disagree. I think there's a pretty big gap. You can't base the reputation of a school just off their employment numbers. Big law in DC is more much comp…

If you're 100% set on PI, Georgetown and plan on PSLF.
-
Congrats, but WTF why did Berkeley reject you.
-
Why does it matter? You can't do anything about it. Don't bother thinking about things you can't respond to.
-
If you're set on clerking and PI, the answer is clearly Yale. If you're set on PI, you'll be taking advantage of PSLF. You won't pay back anywhere close to what you'll be borrowing. Yale's clerkship numbers are absurd.
-
The earlier you apply the better. And I hope you're only applying ED for the merit scholarship program.

Do you wish you had joined another firm? How long do you see yourself with your current firm?
