Yeah. Agree with the hours being too much. Burn out is legit. You're going along just fine, and it just hits you all of a sudden, and your brain goes "I'm out".

Books, Bar and Beyond! Ab initio - (from the beginning) It being Latin for "from the beginning", and the goal being from LSAT prep to career for the blog, it made sense. Seriatim - (in series) A Seriatim opinion is when judges read all of their …

@eRetaker said: If you have a 4.2+ then I'm pretty sure you received the card for your GPA. Law schools use a index score based on a equation calculating your GPA and LSAT into a single number. So WUSTL most likely found that your index score …

Find the hotel's website and look up their hotel map. It should be labeled, so you have an idea where in the building it will be. I did this for my testing at a college, and it was very helpful.

Honestly? I just started my watch at the hour, and wound that sucker forward or backwards between sections to the top of the hour again, and then started it when they said turn the page and begin. Cheap o' $10 watch from Walmart with big clear numbe…

I always wondered about ED and fin aid. This thread answered a lot of those questions I had.

That's awesome Thank you for sharing this!

@stepharizona said: Don’t discount a high GPA. My friend is a 4.0 164 non URM going to UPenn. In a cycle of high LSAT scores, high GPAs were a hot commodity this cycle and likely to be next as well. Well, that'd be awesome. I mean, I'm stil…

@eRetaker said: Got the same hand-written note about off-setting costs, but mine specifically congratulated me on the LSAT. Did yours mention anything about your GPA? Also found an article about the person who wrote the note linked below. …

I get that it's recruitment... I figured it was a photocopied note with my name written in to try and match. LoL. But the fact that I am even getting one is rather interesting to me. I shouldnt be, based on LSAT alone. I'm wondering if they maybe …

It's an effective tactic, for sure. And I am tempted to visit, even though they weren't on my list before.

The topic I picked is about a benign question asked of me one day that made me realize how my life had gone off the rails and how I was not only not living up to my potential, but setting a bad example. It then went into what I decided to do about i…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: Not sure, but if they're willing to pay you to come visit, I wouldn't question it Yeah.. I'm kind of debating the idea. It's quite the journey, though. @"Paul Caint" said: ... however I would of course advocate w…

I don't think your LOR writers don't need to know everything about you, really. They can only speak to what they personally know and the way they have interacted with you anyway. My boss can't speak about my academics in depth, and my teachers (for…

Congrats!! That is awesome!

Think about it this way: how many newspaper articles have you read where there are typos or grammatical errors, despite us now having instantaneous, AI driven auto-correct? I see one every day, without fail. This is what happens when you let AI do t…

It may cut out some jobs, but AI is not nearly at a level to replace lawyers. Sure, it may impact making basic contracts like run of the mill rental agreements, and will probably cut down on searching and combing through documents. But there is no w…

Summer is off from school, but yes. I've been juggling LSAT and full time school for months now, and will again starting next month. Plus part time work and family. Fun times.
-
Ask them, if they had it to do all over again, would they? And if so, what areas would they consider pursuing (the same path)? I got some interesting food for thought on this question into areas of law I had not considered.

I think this is going to be a hard question to draw out. But this is how I understood it. ""G cannot be cleaned until F is cleaned, unless F is cleaned second."" I saw this as two different problems in one. You have the first part "G cannot be cl…

Similar boat. 35, mom. I will have to do the M-F living away from home deal, and hopefully come home on weekends and breaks. The biggest advice is to rally your tribe. Friends, family, neighbors... they're all going to be necessary. Let people help …

Congrats!!! Reading your story is great inspiration. I'm an older student who went back to college years later after I became a mom. I don't have the college-to-law-school gap, but I had one hell of a gap between high school and my Associates! I …

Yeah.. sounds like an error on their part. If it wasn't punitive or a failing withdraw, there shouldn't be a problem. I had one W (decided after a couple weeks that the class just wasn't for me), and it was not held against me by LSAC.

If you truly feel there is no way on God's green Earth that you could have possibly scored that low, then it might be worth a 100 to rule out vs accepting it and spending $$$$ to retest in your situation. You seem very adamant that this couldn't po…

Me too hon. I scored 4 points lower than my PT average on the June LSAT. It wound up being the same as my crappiest PT. Ouch. I plan on signing up for November this weekend after I get paid. Basically, I'm just redoing the CC. I think maybe there w…
