36 here. I will be spending my 40th in Law school at this rate. You have to ask yourself: in 3-5 years, do you still want to be where you are now, or do you want to be finished with law school? You have your whole life ahead of you yet, even if it …

As I understand, pro bono is the work you do for free. On one school tour, the girl said she had racked up over 100 hours of pro bono work without even trying, because of clinics she was a part of that served the public for free (public defense, etc…

WTG!!!!

Fall 2017, as in the semester? Capitalized. Because semesters like Fall18, or Spring 2005 are like proper names. Otherwise, I think @LSAT_Wrecker is correct. Seasons, in and of themselves, are not proper nouns, so aren't capitalized.

If you know you wont be ready, postpone. I made the mistake of just going through with it anyway in November. It turned out exactly like how one would expect. Sometimes I do dumb things. Postpone or delay a cycle, and come back with your best foot …

If you're not applying, there's no real reason to right now. If you are at all, then you should. I went ahead and did it, but decided to delay. Was $10, and did give me a little bit more of a gpa bump. Better safe than sorry. You may change your min…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: Update on this issue for the Veterans in the house. I've had 2 schools offer me admission without any scholarship (I'm over LSAT 75th %'s at both schools). Both have told me they did not offer scholarships because they assu…

Interesting. One school I'm looking at went up a little; another went down. Strange. Guess it makes a bigger window of opportunities? LOL Thanks for this!

@"Leah M B" I'm still up!

@LSAT_Wrecker said: Note the OP is seeking a second bachelors. Anything after the first bachelors is not counted: Ah.. I missed that it was a second Bachelors. My bad. Yeah. What LSAT_Wrecker said. Grades only count up to your first BA/…

It will be a weighed average of all the credits you have ever done. So, the plus side is, if you have any A+'s, they are counted fully as 4.33. 7sage has a predictor (https://classic.7sage.com/gpa-calculator/) for how LSAC will calculate your grad…

What is your goal? Would you be happy with Minnesota and Wake Forest, or is your goal to go to WashU or one of the other schools?

Awesome! Thanks! If July is truly a "Cancel after the fact and get a free run later", I may do it. I wasn't planning on so early (more like October/November), but there's really no downside to that.

@"Llama Whisperer" said: That's the thing! I bought like 4 of the recent "real LSAT" 10 exam books off amazon and used those. I studied so hard, and was PT at an average of 165, lowest PT score was 161, and highest was 167. I'm just very ups…

@JRose1210 said: I am also in the same situation and it really does suck. I was scoring 10 points higher on practice tests and bombed the LSAT again. I’m 31 years old, a mother, and a full-time employee & I wasn’t sure I wanted to test aga…

Congrats!!

It's a kick in the gut, for sure, to have to wait. But how bad do you want this? Is it worth waiting a year for? You may want to reevaluate what it is you really want in life, and what you would be happy with if that year is just not worth it to …

Well, I knew I was going to be seeing ya'll next year. I am. No miraculous change of plans, darn it. Third times the charm, right? The funny thing is... I had months of not being able to do any Lsat study between Sep and November because of scho…

I wouldn't cut it so close to the actual test time. Also, make extra time for a bathroom run beforehand.

LSAC weighs grades super hard. B-'s are not B's, for example. They are less-than-B's. On the flip side of that coin, an A+ gets you an extra bump, as they see them as 4.33. And they count every grade you have. ever. had., even if you redid them an…

Not to make you paranoid or anything, but double check your support system. A lot of people say they will help, and then either don't or suddenly can't. Getting through that first year was hard. Maybe doubly so because my thyroid crapped out altoge…

It should list your lsac calculated gpa, too . If you go all the way down, you see "Degree (summary) GPA:" and across from it, a "Cumulative GPA". The Cumulative is your lsac calculated GPA. I believe the scale is traditionally to 4.0. Anything …

I think maybe it has more to do with those companies being a trusted source? You're ordering it online through them, but maybe in between them and lsac, they go old school. The form says if you use one of the approved services, you apparently don't…

You're going to be okay hon. In the long run, you will be fine and everything will fall into place. If you've done all you can, let the wheel spin, so to speak. Have a drink and enjoy life in the meantime.
