@"Leah M B" said: @Alex See my post above! That's specific for UCI, but I've seen similar policies on a few other schools' sites. So if you did the work for undergrad to exempt you for parental income, you might be able to re-use that same doc…

Thank you @"Leah M B" !

@LSATSniper said: This is my personal opinion. By lowering the bar, using the GRE in law school applications, the quality of legal education will go down. My feeling that quality doesn't matter anymore. I remember seeing Alan Derhoshivitz a l…

@"Kings Never Die" said: @Alex Hi Alex! Thank you very much for your insightful advice! One quick question: if you have no prior finance experience before Law school, but would like to make a transition into finance industry(i.g., IB/PE in-hou…

I think it's pretty important regardless of admissions. If you don't have any experience working in the legal field, how do you really know law is for you?

I don't necessarily recommend any study schedule, just because it's impossible to know how long some of these abstract ideas on the LSAT will take to sink in. It also has you taking 3 to 4 PTs a week from week 9 onward. I don't think that's necessar…

@foxtrot96 The first sentence looks to be just context. The second sentence "So we conclude it to be universally true" is the main conclusion and where the actual important part of the argument begins. Basically the argument is saying that if we h…
