Come on over if you have a question!

Thanks @akistotle !

@BinghamtonDave I don't have permission to share the numbers, sorry! I can tell you that Columbia was a reach for the writer of the personal statement about sexual assault, and that Stanford was a target for the writer of the depression personal sta…

@unclesysy we decided not to clog the feed, so no. We're planning on releasing one more podcast later in the year with excerpts from all of them.

Meet me in five minutes!

@"Melanie partially afk" Let's talk about it tonight!

More tips: Stop analyzing. Bypass the angry little bureaucrat in your brain who's telling you that your idea isn't good enough and just brainstorm. Set out to write the CRAPPIEST first draft in the world. Just throw up on the page. It's always eas…

I heard this lesson is kinda helpful: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/picking-your-topic/

@"gerant.tj.rivera" Congrats! We randomly selected you as the winner of the Edit Once giveaway! Email editors@7sage.com when you want to get started.

I think it depends! If your résumé is well-formatted and tasteful, great! If it's loud, you might want to dial down the design elements so that the content takes precedence.

Hope to see you here tonight!

@kishmich77 THANK YOU!

Canadian law schools tend to prefer something much closer to a traditional cover letter, so it's okay to tell a narrative that's largely a game of connect the dots with your accomplishments.

@ChaimtheGreat said: What is the theory behind the idea that applying early boosts your admission chances? How significant is the boost? https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/affects-chances-getting-law-school/ The theory is that scho…

@PearsonSpecterLittUp said: With the lifting of the 3 times in 2 year rule, how many LSAT takes is too many?? There's no rule of thumb. 5, 6, 7 takes might raise eyebrows, but a lot of admissions officers would probably take Ms. 7-takes with…

@LSATisJustLikeDarkSouls said: I haven't been through the admissions part of 7sage much yet. Forgive me if there are already answers for these. How to go about contacting schools about continued interest? Is there a best time? Letters vs…

@btownsquee said: What information should we prepare for our LOR writers? It depends on how well you know them, but basically, you want to make their job as easy as possible. At the very least I would give them a résumé and a rundown/summary…

@shegotit said: Is taking the LSAT in November considered too late? No! If you end up applying in December, you won't be early, but you won't be late.

I'm still working on an FAQ, but in the meantime, I'll just start answering some of these questions here! @"Leah M B" said: I know this is an old thread, but throwing it out here anyway. I've always wished that the admissions course addressed…

@"Leah M B" great point!

@"moataz.s.mohamed" We’ve randomly selected you as the winner! Congrats. Please email editors@7sage.com with the subject line “Admissions Webinar Edit Giveaway Winner” to claim your free Edit Once! @akriegler I think there’s no reason not to apply …

Thanks for bearing with me through those technical difficulties, everyone! I wanted to give you my own piece of advice: work efficiently, but don't rush. If you spend weeks or months on your application, you don't want to ruin it by making a silly p…

If they don't specify—and Duke doesn't—then I would just default to writing something shorter than your PS. I think it's okay if it goes over a page as long as it's not fluffy.
-
@"aviated.wings" Yes. I'm going to give a similar presentation.
-
If you have a gap of longer than, say, 6 months, it's not a bad idea to explain it. You could add a bullet to your résumé's personal section to note, for example, that you were helping to take care of someone in your family, or you could write a sho…

Don't worry about it! Working full-time and and helping to care for an autistic brother is just as legitimate as, you know, doing moot court. Your work will go on your résumé, but you might want to highlight that you were working during the school y…

@ChaimtheGreat I would.

@LAWYERED No, you don't need to let admissions offices know that a new score was released. They'll get it. That said, the new score could be an occasion for a LOCI. If you're planning on reapplying to a school that rejected you, don't contact them …
