Yeah @stepharizona , they’ve almost gotten me several times before. If they’d gone with something more subtle like @JY Ping it’d’ve gotten real confusing!

I dig this slow and steady approach.
I think George Washington said something like this. Or maybe it was a rabbit from a cartoon. Either way, it’s a good approach. And yeah, the not setting a date thing really does make pe…
Anyway, so the short answer is, “yes.”
The much more interesting long answer kind of just depends. With only 16 days to go, you’ve pretty much done all you can. But depending on your study practices leading to this point, there are definitely wa…
There is a lot to be said for having access to a qualified third party to look at what you’re doing with your applications. For most schools, you will never meet admissions face to face so your application is your entire representation to the schoo…
Very cool. I may have to pause my Harry Potter binge and pick up something. I've had "Galapagos" on the shelf for a while now.
Definitely among the cleverest American writers of all time. I might put him second behind Twain, but even that's debatab…
My friends are actually pretty good about this. One thing that helps is to just talk about the LSAT with people when these conversations inevitably come up. It may seem like a weird thing to go into with a Muggle, but subject matter is not what ma…
@"Chipster Study" Any potential for a letter from your documentary stuff? It might not be ideal but it’s at least interesting. I’m sure all these letters are the same so something that’s actually interesting might really jump out.
We guard our material very carefully to not burn through it before we’re ready. We kind of sacrifice PTs 1-35ish for learning materials. Everything after that is saved for timed PTs and BR, and it is important not to jump into those before ready. …
"The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions” by Anna Ivey is really good. She’s a former dean of admissions at Chicago Law. She’s really blunt and straight forward which I really appreciated.
@TheCubicleEscapee that sounds like a really bad work situation. Glad you’re getting out of there! Do you volunteer with any organizations who could provide you a letter? Do you have any old profs you had been close with that you could potentiall…
Nah, hold off until you’re done, haha. It’s hard but you don’t want to burn any tests until you’re really ready to PT. We can’t remove the emotional element of using the scores to diagnose our progress entirely but when you do move into the PT/BR …
Right on @bjphillips5 ! What do you teach your kids? I had Cat's Cradle in 11th grade with a teacher that looked exactly like Vonnegut. That class was a big part of the reason I majored in English lit.
Thanks guys!
That makes me feel better @runiggyrun . I did develop some really good relationships with a number of faculty members back in my day. It feels weird, but if that's what law schools want that's what I'll give them.
Thanks @montahar . I was really bummed I missed that webinar, and plan on watching as soon as it's posted. That sounds a lot like what I needed to know though. Time to start tracking folks down. Most of my mentor professors aren't even at my alma ma…
Yeah, it’s going to be really obvious that you wrote it. Voice translates in writing more than people realize and yours is actually fairly distinct. So, do with that what you will, just know with 100% certainty that they will know you wrote it if …
Yeah, nothing stopping you from going ahead and uploading everything so that you’re ready to fire away once LSAT scores post.
With your Letters, you do need to go ahead and contact your writers. It is good etiquette to allow them as much notice as…
If they don’t affect your GPA you’re fine. There are tons of good reasons for withdrawing from a class, and I’d be shocked if they took the time to consider it one way or the other. It’s all about that GPA.
@DeeJayGee , yeah this happens to me a lot. Reading through this thread over the last couple days, I’ve been wondering if I could recall anything so tried on my last PT without much success. I think it’s mostly because of 2009, lol, but I don’t th…
