Do you like Kansas City or the Twin Cities better? I imagine with Minnesota you are trading off some likelihood of ending up in Kansas City for an increased chance of ending up in the Twin Cities. I'd rather live in Minnesota, so I think I would go…

@speedwagon said: I ended up making a price decision, which is counter to the internet's wisdom but felt good to me. Here's how I sorted it out: 1) I want to do public interest. I can count on a salary between $50k and $60k given where I …

Take care of yourself. It definitely sounds like you have made a breakthrough. Congrats on the improced PT score! But be careful about basing your expectations too much on any one test. You can't always tell if you got lucky, the particular test su…

After you have went over the Core Curriculum carefully and foolproofed logic games, practice tests with blind review will help to identify remaining weak spots.

Do look it up like @cstrobel says, but I would be shocked if the LRAPs are similar. If you go into a public interest position you might end up paying less or virtually the same from Berkeley even at full price. Afterall, the cost of living at Howard…

@splitter_saga said: @"Seeking Perfection" can you walk me through your motivations for re-taking when already at a 172? I have a 173 but a sub 3.0 GPA and so am mulling over a re-take. Also would be interested to hear about your experience st…

@10000019 said: @"Seeking Perfection" If you're using the Dean's remarks to refute Wax's claims (which you did), then the timeline is an issue. Then you should answer this question which I asked earlier. Are you suggesting that there us…

Presumably he had options for scholarships from lower ranked schools. What does it look like from the other side of having spent that much money? Was it worth it? If so does he think that they are workimg a meaningfully different job than if they ha…

I know the rankings are based at least in part on reputation. So I would say that UCI by actually placing students in desireable jobs has probably created something of a reputation for itself among both practicing lawyers and other legal academics.
-
At the very least reapplying gets your app in early, gives you a year more time out of college, establishes for negotiations that you will walk away if you don't get a good scholarship, and gives you time to write better Why X essays. I can see why…

It looks to me like given the number of cities in California compared to the Dakotas their placement on this survey is an endorsement of moving to North or South Dakota.

I would consider reapplying to more intermediate options if you are really debt adverse. I would not recommend going to George Mason with an app that can get you into Virginia. Go to Virginia or reapply to a place ranked somewhere in between where …

@Rtwrtw8 said: @"Seeking Perfection" how long have you been using this approach? I feel like the likelihood of burnout from using this method is dangerously high, not to mention that the second score is unlikely to be representative for the fi…

This is sort of a question dodge, but I don't think there is a great way to disguise them. First of all if your experimental section isn't new, you are going to know its experimental so you would probably have to go with a new one if you want any d…

The problem overall is that these schools are only going to get you into Big Law if you get fairly lucky with regards to first year grades. Because of this and because I'm naturally a pessimist, I would focus on which school will leave me less poor…

@"Leah M B" It was a wierd thing that they apparently do once a year. Apparently, it raised $70,000 for their public interest students the year before. So although I would prefer they just ask for donations rather than have the auction this could b…

I attended the weekend last weekend. Thursday when I got there, there was a speech by Dean Zearfoss which was okay and then a speech by Dean West. Afterwards, there was a student panel which was interesting, but most of the questions either boiled …

The two ways I found to stay alert in undergrad, but also when studying for the LSAT were exercising plenty and drinking lots of water.
