@"samantha.ashley92" We can help! I wish someone could hold my hand through this process and help me every step of the way. Does anyone tutor people on this stuff? God, help me. We offer exactly what you're looking for: step-by-step guidance f…

Yes! You are a perfect case for an addendum! It's not particularly compelling to say, "I could have done better, if only." But it's very compelling to say, "I could have done better…and in fact, I did." You should explain to an admissions committee …

I'd call it a target. You're in the zone such that your essays are going to make a difference. Good luck!

@kimmy_m66 This cycle!

@kelly1234 @TheMikey @Ohnoeshalpme @"Drew Alterio" We compiled medians and a lot more information here: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/top-law-school-admissions/ This data comes from the most recent 509 disclosures. We also did a statistical…

Thanks for coming, everyone. Quick question—were you taken to the admissions course (https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/progress/) after the webinar?

@"Alyssa V" please ask during the webinar. @"Iris Maute-Gibson" @SamRoseM The webinar will be available later here: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/webinar/. Access to recordings of the webinars is available with a purchase of the $10 admissi…

@"Iris Maute-Gibson" I'm not sure yet

@"christiem.lawrence" @akistotle Yep—about an hour.

Hi there! We actually have a free lesson called “Do I Have to Explain Why I Want to be a Lawyer?” And Other Questions. Check it out: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/four-big-questions/

I think you know all the facts—that you should apply as early as you can, but that you should also prioritize the LSAT—so I'll just point you to this sample timeline in case it helps: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/admissions-timeline/

Huge congrats!
-
Update! Because of high demand, we've added 7 more Unlimited Editing packages at the old price. These will be the last.

I used to think applying in Sept or Oct was vital, but how much of a difference is there when you apply after only 10% of the applications are in vs. 40-50%. So glad you asked! As it happens, we just analyzed about 400,000 results to answer tha…

Admissions officers will probably read the LSAT writing sample if you're a non-native speaker and there's a question of your English proficiency. Otherwise, they probably won't read it. I don't think native English speakers should bother preparing f…

I'm not sure what you mean when you say that your file will be pushed to the back if you send a LOCI, but I don't think you should worry about it. If an admissions officer loves your LOCI, he might pull your file when he receives it; otherwise, he'l…

Do it! It's late enough in the cycle that they should have gotten back to you by now, and you certainly won't be annoying them. There's no downside. Here's our lesson waitlists and LOCIs: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/what-to-do-after…
-
I recently posted a new lesson about waitlists: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/what-to-do-after-you-get-waitlisted/ I hope it's helpful!

Sorry I'm late to the party, but you might find this useful: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/law-school-financial-aid/

Great question, @twssmith. When you make your purchase, you'll get an automatic email asking for a short and informal bio, a résumé, and (if you buy Consulting) a few other things. We use that information to match you with the consultant whom we thi…

What a bummer! Our admissions course has lessons about what to do after your waitlisted: LOCI Dos and Don'ts Bad LOCI Worse LOCI Good LOCI Good Penn LOCI-After a Visit My advice is to visit where you can. Now, rhetorical question: when you visi…

I put the application deadline and start date of every law school into a spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kE98659Gp_T828edsUZRKrhcxnK6xF1mR5RICN_FDYs/edit#gid=413804031 That said, you should strongly consider applying next cycle…
-
@rochelleb180 Not too late! I'll announce when we choose two candidates. It will be around April 15 or a little earlier; until then, keep the applications coming!
-
@dazedandconfused we will make a decision on pro bono consulting before April 15, but the earlier you apply, the better.

Some advice on scholarship negotiations: There are two kinds of leverage when you negotiate a scholarship: Scholarship offers from lower-tier schools. Offers of admission from higher-tier schools. And there are two key principles: Walk up the…

Thanks, @"Alan Cheuk" . Sorry for the late reply, @plspeer. I'm on paternity leave!
-
Sorry I've been absent, everyone! Turns out that babies are a lot of work. @isarap_mch @westcoastbestcoast It's rolling admissions . Hard deadline is April 15, but we'll almost certainly choose two applicants before that. @Labelle80 Unfortunately…

@xadrianas6x great question! Pro bono consulting is only available for this cycle, but we'll offer more of it next cycle.

Thanks for the shout out! Woo!
