@"Habeas Porpoise" I'm in the exact same situation and the same age so I totally understand.
-
I'm interested!
-
Big city for sure! My dream is to practice law in Washington DC.
-
I'm interested!
-
The simple answer is because it's Harvard. Prestige, name recognition, an amazingly well connected alumni network, ability to get pretty much any job you want, etc.
-
What was your study schedule like to get a 174? How long did it take you?
-
Splitters are always unpredictable. Apply anywhere you want. I would blanket the T14.
-
@westcoastbestcoast When I apply in the fall, I should have a gpa slightly over 3.8 and I'm aiming for a 170. I don't want to wait because I know this is for me. If I don't like my options once I apply then I will just reapply the following year.
-
It's all speculation at this point. I guess we'll have to wait an see. It is making me nervous though because I'm applying next cycle as a K-JD.
-
I would reapply
-
Spivey is pretty much always spot on with his predictions.
-
If you put in the work, it's totally possible. It will probably take a while though, more than four months. I think 7Sage will be incredibly useful for you since you clearly need help with the fundamentals, as does everyone when they're first beginn…

I think I read somewhere that she was taking a break. Not the most serious student lol
-
Following! I plan on visiting in the fall.
-
Congrats! That must feel amazing! How long have you been studying for?
-
Ultimate+ has so much content that you probably won't make use of all of it by June. Have you mastered the fundamentals? If not, I would begin with the Starter package and you can always upgrade later on.
-
Unless you are scoring at a very high level, I would wait to take the test until September. I also would not suggest taking the test before you're ready to for the experience. You should be doing practice tests under realistic testing conditions (ad…
-
June is still a while away and you are so close to 170 that I think you can make it by then. The extra time to study is nice but the July test is undisclosed. If it doesn't go as well as you had planned, you really have no way to see what went wrong…

@mcglz_64 KJD means kindergarten through law school so it's someone who goes straight from undergrad to law school.
-
I haven't had time to read books as much as I want to but I read the NY Times everyday. It's good practice for those long RC passages.
-
@olioliber That's great to hear. It's always better to confirm so you're not anxious about something you don't need to worry about.
-
I would call and say you sent a LOCI and you were just calling to make sure that it was added to your file. You are not annoying them. This is their job.
-
I would call and ask so you don't have to worry about it.
-
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm not even applying this cycle but the Law School Admissions subreddit is crazy right now.
-
@Shownuff T5 hands down! I would always choose a top school in any situation.
-
This really is an oversimplification. The attorneys you talked to are only a sampling of the graduates from those schools. That's not to say that you can't be successful if you go to a lower ranked school but the top schools are the top schools for …

@"Leah M B" I'm totally with you on LSAC's GPA system. I would have definitely had some A+s but the highest grade my school offers is an A. It would drastically change my LSAC GPA for the better. For a system that's meant to be standardized, I don't…
-
It's interesting to hear someone's experience whose on the other side of this. I'm still studying for September and I have a long way to go. I get frustrated sometimes but I keep envisioning that 170 and know it will be worth it in the end. I guess …
-
I would go to Berkeley even if it meant taking on a lot of debt. Rankings aren't everything but they are very important. Berkeley is ranked #9 and Howard is #128. The opportunities that you'll get from Berkeley will be worlds away from what you'll g…
