@necessarily said: Hey guys I've been grinding through the curriculum for the past two months and am on track to finish by the end of September. I was wondering if someone has in their possession a study plan for me to use that they perso…

@"Lizzette G" said: 1. I am due to be done with the CC late November, so maybe start group meetings in December but I don't really have a specific preference. 2. Mon-Thu I am available after 5:30PM PST. I am available all day Fri-Sun. 3…

Thanks for all the helpful feedback guys. Keep it coming! Right now I'm sort of keeping track of when everyone wants to begin, and what the best times and days are to start. From the messages/comments I've received so far, it looks like the best t…

Read a good book. Maybe start some light 0L prep.

I think with a 170+ LSAT score you would be a contender for the lower T14. I'll be honest, I think if I were someone in your shoes (non-traditional, great military softs, etc) I would hire @"David.Busis" to help you with your application package. I …

Nope. I doubt it will. Most admissions consultants are professionals and they honestly don't care enough to make sure you don't get into your dream school. Edited* CantGetRight made some great points below that made me rethink my logic.

I think you have some average softs for which the schools you are applying to. Though I'm not that familiar with the importance of softs vis-a-vis Canadian LS admissions. Any particular advice you are looking for?

@prevalent said: I want to know the pro's/ con's about transferring law schools after the 1st year. Is it a common practice? Is it difficult to do so? Any input would be appreciated! Common, no. At least not compared to undergrad/other grad …

@LSATcantwin Right on!

@FSU_27 said: I don't expect someone like @"Alex Divine" who is riding the coat tails of affirmative action to argue a position against a policy that makes it easier for him to get into better schools. But you should at least be able to make an…

Yes, certainly take at least a week off in order to refresh yourself. You'll do much better when you come back. I hope you killed the September test though, this way you don't have to retake

@Freddy_D @"Lauren L" @tringo335 @btownsquee Thanks for your input! We will definitely try to find the best way so that these groups are at a time when as many people can make it as possible. I'm also loving all the ideas of all we can do outside…

@nhafen23 said: Would this only be appropriate if core curriculum is complete @"Alex Divine"? If not, I would like to participate as well. I'm studying full time from now till sept 2018 so I would be free pretty much whenever. I'm PST. …

I vote for October 14th. One, because that's my birthday.... Two, because I really think more time is ultimately going to be advantageous for you. You will likely be able to use this time to work on getting used to the subtle differences in the new…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Confession. I'm really bad about writing on my master game boards. I write in really lightly and erase after each question. It's not a good thing to do. I'd've totally adopted this if I were going to test again. …

@jameslorenz said: Does anyone have any insight as to whether it is easier to get into law school part time? I have not been able to find any data. I mean, this is really going to depend on several factors such as your stats and where you're…

Disclose. Always. There are people who have been fucked over by the bar's C&F due to discrepancies. If you're that worried about it, hire a consultant professional like @"David.Busis" to help you craft an addendum. But absolutely 100% disclose i…

Another really inspiring story is of Allison, an old sage/mentor/tutor, who was a big inspiration and teacher to me. She went to a small undergrad and was interested in public interest law. She began studying hoping to possibly attend a local schoo…

If you're interested in big law, being 30 or so won't hinder your chances. Could even be spun into a positive. Just understand that your first year peers may be a few years younger than you.
