This is starting now!

@uhinberg You make a great point. I'll start by pointing out, though, that most people don't apply to schools they know they won't attend, and that's certainly not what I'm advocating. Rather, I'm advocating that you apply to a healthy mix of school…

First of all—and pardon me if I'm saying something you already understand—a school's initial scholarship offer doesn't depend on where else you apply. But once a school makes you an offer, you'll be in a better position to negotiate if you have othe…

@sdsd1818 Yes, we'll record it.
-
@"J.Thomas" yes, you can purchase now and use later—just write "Résumé Special" in the subject line when you get in touch. And yes, you can upgrade to consulting for $2585.
-
@"Daniel.Sieradzki" but I do personally like you ? @shannon_j yes! Email us (editors (at) 7sage (dot) com) with your request @jennybbbbb the admissions course comes with LSAT Ultimate + only, not LSAT Ultimate ? @Aidoe Sorry! Editing takes us a l…

Yes, this is only for résumés, and yes, the price of a regular unlimited edit is $599.

@"alaa.11" I'll post here with instructions. Stay tuned.

My first reaction is that you should write your PS about being a doctor and a DS about having cerebral palsy—but you might write a PS about being a doctor with cerebral palsy, in which case I'm not sure you should write a DS at all.

Hi @"Amy _", sorry I didn't see your question earlier. The complete instructions for submission are in the initial post. @bklsat05 Amy and Chris are going to choose today or tomorrow, so submit soon! I'll update this message when they've chosen and…

You can't apply ED to Georgetown and then apply ED to another school, unless Georgetown rejects you first. They're explicit about this: https://www.law.georgetown.edu/admissions-financial-aid/jd-admissions/full-time-program//Apply-Early-Decision.cfm…

I think you have a good shot!
-
@4everchasing the lecture will be similar to my lecture in the last personal statement boot camp; the Q&A section will of course be different. @stephgmeister, we'll do another webinar in a month or so. @kpera4, yes, it will just start at 9 p.m. …

☝️What @"Cant Get Right" . A letter from a supervisor can be a great supplement—consider it for a third letter—but it doesn't replace academic LORs, and you should only use it INSTEAD of an academic letter if you absolutely can't procure the latter.
-
Thanks @"Cant Get Right"! And yeah, that line is killer.

Thanks everyone! @Mellow_Z no, not regular. @dennisgerrard my book? Definitely.

It's definitely better to write an excellent, tight, two-page essay than to write a loose, fluffy four-pager. If they had a minimum, they would say so.
-
All good info here! In general, if you're above both 75ths, it's yours to lose. You don't need amazing softs or a killer essay, though you can definitely eliminate yourself with a terrible essay.
-
Honestly, no—I don't think it will give you an advantage. For one thing, law school admissions officers aren't really incentivized to care about college debate teams. For another thing, you won't know if they need a debate coach, or if they're looki…
-
I'm not sure you should say that in your law school application. Just highlight your experience on your résumé!
-
Jumping on the bandwagon here. @"Daniel.Sieradzki" put it well. This sounds like a PS or no-go. Remember that the DS is actually optional, and that it's better to forgo the essay than to risk annoying the adcom.

Working as a server for two years after college will have 0 negative impact on your application. Scoring even 1 point higher on the LSAT will have considerable impact. If you don't mind waiting a cycle, then yes, I think you should postpone your tes…

@jkatz1488 You're going to enroll in a one-year master's program? It's probably a little late to apply for this fall, no? Anyway, the short answer is yes—you'd have a slightly stronger application if could get a really wonderful LOR from a graduate…

The webinar is up! https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/intro-to-admissions/

It was recorded! I'll post here when it goes up.

It never hurts to ask. Don't smack the professor with a packet initially, just write a polite feeler email with (1) a reminder of who you are, (2) a reminder of what class you took with her, (3) a one or two-sentence update and ask ("Since college, …

Hi there, Childhood poverty and taking care of someone with a mental illness would be great topics for a diversity statement. Indeed, it's hard to imagine those experiences didn't affect your worldview in a profound way.
-
Hi there! Email me editors@7sage.com if you have any questions—and I'm happy to set up a free consultation. Best, David

Your letters are fine! It's okay if they're a year old. If you want, you can ask the professors to update the date—but it's not a big deal.
