Consider delaying. FT school and FT work are both a huge commitment. I wouldn't bother studying for the LSAT while you're juggling all of that.
-
Retake. Neither school places well into big law and sticker at either of those schools is a risky investment.

Did you write the optional essays? December isn't early, but it's not super late. Getting WT from Michigan and Duke with those numbers makes me think the schools didn't think you were serious about attending.
-
My advice is to head over to TLS for this topic. 0L's really don't know anything about jobs. Be sure to try and negotiate with UVA!
-
I'd retake even if it meant sitting out this cycle.

Depends what kind of job you want. PS Don't jump the gun. See if you can get some money out of the other schools.

Unless the application specified that should be done I wouldn't worry about it.
-
I don't see any point in taking March. If you want to be a part of this cycle that date is awfully late. If you want to be a part of the next cycle then consider a test date that will give you more time to prepare.
-
IMO, with the exception of the extremes (The A's and the B-'s), law school grades are arbitrary.
-
Answer is dependent on the parties. You assumed there is going to be a leader. Maybe someone will lead or maybe the group will collectively make a decision. How the group operates will depend on its members. And different people thrive in different…

Are you applying for the current or next cycle? If the former, I'd go with the first reply in this thread. Else, I would reach out to wish them a happy new year and then see if they are free to catch up. Then at another time you could ask for the LO…

@simple_jack said: Does the LSAC count high school AP class grades, even if your university does not? Just wondering because my uni has my AP credits not counting toward my undergrad GPA. No.
-
They look at your transcript. So an upward trend is better than consistently performing at a low level. But they certainty aren't going to treat you the same as someone else that held a consistently high GPA.
-
I think you should include it in your work experience. As for the description, you know what you do better than any of the forum users. My only suggestion is to avoid trying to make it sound too fancy.
-
You apply to both with one application. In the application it'll ask if you want to be considered for both programs or just one. Your admission will specify which program you are admitted to. Once you're in one program there is a process to switch …

Hey you'll get better replies if you work on cutting down on the words and separating different concerns into different threads.

@Overcomer said: @10000019 thank you very much, this was very helpful. However, do you believe this difference is due to the caliber of the students? Students at top schools usually outperform those of tier 2 and 3 schools with their LSATs and…

@Overcomer said: @10000019 I'm not sure what you're referring to? The bar passage rate? Or it's easier to pass exams in the T-14? Can you please elaborate? Look up the median GPA at different schools. Then look at the non-transfer attrition …
-
T14 schools are much easier to pass. Look at the attrition rates on the 509 data.
-
I may potentially answer your question later today. Does that carry any weight? Doesn't to me. If you're interested in attending the schools or potentially using them as leverage then consider asking for a fee waiver and apply.
-
Multiple pages is probably okay for you. Take a look at the admissions course. I don't have access anymore but I remember a post from @"vanessa fisher" asking and David confirming that multiple pages works sometimes.
-
Depends on the school.
-
Don't even bother going to law school. No way you're going to pass C&F after the juice box fiasco. Serious note, no do not include that.
-
Depends on the school and the context. I don't even think you'll get a family alumni boost out of it. But I think in addressing why that school you could bring up how much you like the location from visiting the school.
