I just want to know, do law schools care about how young I am? Does applying at age 19 hurt, help, or even have any effect at all on my chances for getting accepted?
A friend of a friend got into Harvard Law when she was 18. So no problems ther…
I would think that, strictly speaking, the ABA's decision to let law schools decide what exam they would like to use in their admissions process effectively means that the LSAT is no longer a requirement for law school admission as a whole. If the L…
I don't think we have enough data to say whether someone who has only GRE score(s) is likely to get into a school. A good proportion of schools may be reluctant to accept GRE scores as well. I believe at least one T13 school stated that it expects L…
To my knowledge, law schools don't care about graduate GPA, as they tend to be inflated across the board. The only GPA they care about is the GPA leading up to the first undergraduate degree.
We don't do no business casual here in SoCal, even at educational institutions. If you don't want to stand out, try an Aloha shirt (red is the go-to color, but the more flashy and flowery the better) and a pair of plaid cargo shorts (I recommend kha…
If you take the November test, then your score should be released in early December. Even if you submit everything else earlier, your application will be deemed complete only after your score is received.
December is not that late, but it's not ear…
Writing a diversity statement on being a woman... This is the first time I heard someone recommend that approach.
Being the only Latina at an all-white school could definitely be a nice topic. I would personally be careful about the "white" part th…

A woman who was on the law school admissions committee at Yale wrote about this. She said it's important to get both letters from professors. To paraphrase her, if can't get two letters, they fear you might be hard t…
It is not a bad idea at all. It's the nature of relationship you have had with a professor that matters, not the number of courses you took with him or her. A professor with whom an applicant took one class and received an A+ would have better thing…

What are some of the traits of questions/arguments/stimuluses where the premise is attacked?
is it just for correlation/causation questions -- where you can wreck the correlation? or is it also for survey/data questions, where you can just w…

I don't usually keep track of soccer, so I will be a bandwagon fan and support Germany.
Here's one of the reasons I don't even dream about stepping into a casino, even when I'm at Vegas (which is physically impossible given …
I don't know about reading the stimulus, but reading - or rather, skimming - the question stem normally shouldn't take more than 3 seconds. The only exceptions I can think of are those funky stimuli from older PTs that place additional conditions (e…

Does it work if you use a VPN?
I believe using VPN to purchase products or services is illegal, strictly speaking. And why would you ask a service provider a question about tricking it into providing its service?
Now I know that any verdict requires a unanimous decision, even a not guilty verdict. However, doesn't that reward those who know that about the legal system? Is that supposed to be common knowledge?
I don't know about your background, but at m…
AR has been double-sided since 2012, and there is no reason to suspect it will change anytime soon (if the LSAC decided to switch back, it will face howls of rage and disappointment, which the LSAC wouldn't want to face these days). I personally don…
This might be a bad news for those planning to apply to Michigan Law during the upcoming cycle as well. If accepted students choose to comply with the school's request, they have less available seats; otherwise, the institution may be more careful i…
Plot twist: Accepted students defy Michigan's expectation yet again; far too many students choose to defer. This forces the school to accept more waitlisted students than usual.
I don't usually keep track of soccer, so I will be a bandwagon fan and support Germany. I'm curious to see how far Brazil will go though, especially given its last match against Germany. I remember watching it. Connection was lost for several minute…
Medical treatment as in the process of treating a gunshot patient - sanitizing the wound(s), pulling out the bullet(s), etc. Do those operational procedures by themselves necessitate police involvement?
(D) is wrong because of "consent" and "required by medical treatment" (does treating a gunshot wound involve mandatory police report?). (E) is wrong because it would violate the given requirement regarding cops, who aren't involved in medical treatm…
Is part of my misunderstanding rooted in that it introduces the particular law in question as "The law..." rather than "A law..."? Should that indicate to me that there is only one law and, thus, only one reason for registering a contribution wit…
