@spitzy11 I realized I forgot to answer yout actual question about the Admissions Course. If you buy the Admissions Course on our new admissions website (https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll/), it lasts 3 months, but we're happy to extend it…

@"Daniel.Sieradzki" the Admissions Course has a lot of good info on who this Busis guy is. jk

@spitzy11 your résumé sounds great! The LSAT is, as you know, your first priority, but you might want to pick one day out of every week to work on your app before you start studying. Applying in October or November will definitely give you a leg up.…

@btmccartney @JetJagLar @4everchasing @Max_henry91 @JustDoIt + everyone, The webinar is up: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/ps-bootcamp/.
-
Hey there, I don't think you have a problem at all! Just tell your story. The admissions committees use résumés to get a big-picture overview of what you've been up to, and I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about. Educational Backg…

@Max_henry91 I forgot to record the first ten minutes, so I'll probably record those separately and prepend them. It'll take me a week or two. I'll post here when it's up!
-
Thanks, @RafaelBernard!
-
Starting in 5, everyone!
-
Yea—I'm gonna record this one.
-
@Mellow_Z I'll be able to give you some quick high-level feedback, but if a lot of people have questions, I won't have time to go in depth. @btmccartney Yes! @gmenold Yes! Happy studying.
-
You'll definitely still be able to apply early enough to get scholarships! It wouldn't be a bad idea to begin working on your essays before the test, though—so long as you don't have to sacrifice study time.
-
Your softs sound great to me! At this point, you might also think in terms of what could give you a good story for your essays—and being a CASA sounds like it might!
-
@Mellow_Z yes, expect an hour including questions.
-
Congrats!
-
Agreed. Go ahead and send it! If you're going to write something substantive—a page or more, say—you should attach it to an email. The subject line could be, "Interest in Texas Law" (assuming you mean UT Austin), and you could write, "...Attached, p…

Congrats! You deserve it! I'm so excited for you!
-
Course renamed to the simpler "Admissions Course," fyi. You'll find it in your syllabus!
-
I'm so happy to hear this! Congratulations! And if you haven't already, consider writing a review of the course or the edit: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions-course-reviews

@jennilynn89 @bjphillips5 we don't record admissions webinar, sorry—but you can see everything I know about waitlists in the admissions course: https://classic.7sage.com/enroll-admissions/. We recently lowered the price to $15, but we're still impr…

Unfortunately, you'll definitely have to disclose what you did and what went on your record. I'll be honest—it may raise a red flag. But all is not lost. If you can write a very genuine mea culpa, convince the adcom that you've learned your lesson, …
-
@"montaha.rizeq" it's definitely okay to write an addendum about something serious, but always better if you can also point to a better score.
-
A lot of you are probably thinking to yourself, I'll go to the webinar Tuesday, and I'll go to the webinar Thursday, but what the heck am I going to do with myself on Wednesday? Put your mind at ease. I'll be doing an admissions webinar Wednesday. …
-
Sorry to hear about your lower score. That's such a bummer! I agree with @"Alex Divine". Most addenda look like excuses. It's just hard to imagine an admissions officer scratching her head and saying, "Well, I wasn't gonna take him, but look here—l…

If I were you, I'd go to Chicago. It's not a given that you'll be able to get a biglaw job after graduating from a tier-2 school, nor is it a given that you'll be able to graduate at the top of your class. Even if you're a butt-kicker, you could g…
-
@Takamine, It depends on the content of each essay, but I think it's always good if you can cut down on what you're asking the admissions office to read. If you cover your diversity factors in your PS, you don't need to write a separate DS.
-
There's nothing wrong with referencing your PS, but it might be less clunky simply to gloss your experience in a short phrase—e.g., "Having worked in education for eight years..." Keep in mind that your reader will probably look at your optional sta…
-
Sorry I'm late to the party! I was traveling... Anyway, @jaybee88, I think you arrived at the right answer: prepare a LOCI and just sweat it out . But also—be optimistic! Your index counts for more than your PS. Let us know what happens. I'm cross…
-
You can mitigate the gap by doing a bit of community service, political activism, etc. The short answer is that a long resume gap doesn't look good, but if you're recently out of college, it doesn't look that bad, either—and a good LSAT score count…

Have you done any freelance consulting work since August 2015? If so, I think it would be fair to say that your freelance consulting career continued for the time being. Once you start law school, your grades and law-school activities will become m…
