Thanks, @SLP_futureJD ! But also—I just made those definitions up! The percentage is the percentage. If you have a 65% chance of getting into a law school, I'm not sure it matters whether you call that school a "target" or a "probable target." What…

Selene is generally very fast, and I think she is available, but I'll let her speak for herself. @"selene.steelman"

Someone who used this service a few days ago sent me this email: "I would have never thought that a one hour phone call could be worth $500. It absolutely was. Selene is GREAT. Thank you both so much."

Thanks @LSAT_Wrecker !

Starting in T minus two hours (and change)!

Update—I've added a new tab to show the year-over-year change in the medians: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tUI5y-Sw2utvXvUEk9IQDzC1Rc0NDb7Q4PFwzxYkZpw/edit#gid=2135953872 I've also fixed the tuition numbers. They now show annual in-state…

@sakox010 Note that 25th percentile is not part of the USNWR rankings. The biggest factor (40 percen) is, essentially, reputation, which is one reason the rankings are so sticky and also self-perpetuating. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-grad…

@"Leah M B" They're creeping up—but you knew that. I'll take a closer look a bit later.
-
@john1roger These medians are for the class that started in the fall of 2018. The medians may change this year, but they won't change by much.

@NotMyName you can see what they do have here: http://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx Click "Employment Outcomes" on the left.

@"Leah M B" jk. I know. Those numbers come from the 509s: http://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/Disclosure509.aspx Stanford and Harvard list their full-time resident tuition as $0 and $32k, respectively. If someone wants to look into it and report …

@"Leah M B" you didn't get the message that Stanford is free now???

We made it easier to geek out by pasting everything into a giant spreadsheet for you, along with rankings. Curated data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tUI5y-Sw2utvXvUEk9IQDzC1Rc0NDb7Q4PFwzxYkZpw/edit#gid=166071728 Complete data except at…

Yes! I'd write one about the auto-immune disease. They'll see CS background in your transcript and résumé.

It was a pleasure to work with you! Now go enjoy yourself before 1L runs you over!
-
I don't know your specific circumstances, but your DS should probably cover the fact that you're in an under-represented group. You almost certainly should not write what would essentially be two diversity statements.
-
Here's a paradox: every writing rule (including this one?) is true about 80% of the time. The injunction against high school is kind of like the injunction against passive voice: a thing that applies sometimes, maybe most of the time, but definitely…

Hope to see some of you tonight!

Hi everyone, I think this question already has a lot of good answers, but for what it's worth: yes, I would waive, and no, I don't think it's unethical to see your LOR, or even ask for it. The real question is whether asking to see your LOR will p…

We wrote a blog post called "Does Attending a T14 School Matteer?" It might help you make up your mind: https://classic.7sage.com/does-attending-a-t14-law-school-matter/

Please join me and @"selene.steelman" for office hours on November 28 at 9 ET!

Thanks, @Louislepauvre ! You can see our advice here: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll.
-
Thanks! It was such a pleasure to work with you, and I have no doubt that you are going to be a very successful law student.
-
You'll submit them to each school via the school's online application. Each application has an attachments section that lets you upload the relevant documents.
-
Can you paste a statement-of-purpose prompt here? Let's take a look at the actual language of the application.
-
Bring your questions tonight (Nov 14), everyone!
-
@LAWYERED of course there's a chance, but I have no reason to think it is. Still, proceed with caution. I would advise you to add a couple safety and target schools based solely on your numbers, not on the predictor.

I've posted the webinar from November 7: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/webinar/office-hours-with-david-and-selene-nov-7-2018/

Hi everyone, Accurate-ish is a good description. You should crosscheck our model with https://officialguide.lsac.org/release/ugpalsat/ugpalsat.aspx. In most cases, we're pretty similar. @eRetaker we looked at about 400000 applications from LSN, so…

You could make a section called "Selected Publications" or otherwise indicate that you're listing some but not all of your books. Likewise, you can and should indicate that you're only listing a few things you did in college. The more time you've s…
