They care since it can alter their ranking. They get ranked based on your final GPA not the one they see when they admit you. This is probably another reason why they tend to favor applicants with a little bit of work experience. Their GPAs are lock…

@americandreamer said: I never fully understood the importance of the rankings. Obviously higher ranked schools are more desirable to a certain degree (at least to some) due to prestige and a plethora of other reasons. But these rankings chang…

@"surfy surf" said: I know this isn’t the exact logic but it kinda sounds like there’s a 25% chance of losing your scholly and that’s not a safe bet. Does anyone know how one ends up being one of the lucky few who get schollys without stip…

If you care about Big Law and Big Fed I would do everything possible to get into the Top 13 or 14 schools. That said the low debt may make GW viable for you without the big salary promise of Big Law.

I have not heard of spring starts. However, you definitely could still apply this cycle even at schools where the deadline has passed. But, you probably shouldn't. Usually you can get the best offers by applying at the very start of the cycle. It …

You can't base it on other people's experiences. For many its a long time. However, you could start in the 170's or take years to get there. The latter is probably more common than the former. You also won't necessarily get a non-biased sample. Some…

@Aspiring Whatever your motives, don't out people. Ask in a message if you have to ask.

@LCMama2017 said: @"Leah M B" @"Seeking Perfection" - thanks, appreciate your answers. I won't ask but I'll research about it as you suggest. The drop was only 2 points so not horrible. They are not highly ranked so I just thought it was …

@LCMama2017 said: Hi all - would it be odd/inappropriate to ask one of the deans at a law school why their ranking has dropped? I don't want to make them uncomfortable but at the same time I'd like to know why their ranking dropped and how th…

@LastLSAT said: @tylerdschreur10 How much extra time do you think is OK to request? Would it be rude to request until the second deposit deadline (June) instead of the first? Or would some date like May 1 be more reasonable? Maybe just ask f…

I'm still waiting on a decision from Penn. However, I think that this incident stands in pretty sharp contrast to the Chicago Burke Society racism because the administration handled it fairly well. They didn't fire her because she is tenured. Howev…

Take a week and come back to it fresh. Even aside from bad cases of burnout, many people find their scores rise after a break.

I wouldn't do it with a stip of Top 75th percentile. First of all, a lot of people are grouped near the middle as far as raw scores on exams go. This means it's not a huge point difference between median and bottom 25th percent or top 25th percent.…

@Ignatius said: How, if at all, will a decrease in ranking affect a school's admissions process? Do you think they'll become more scrupulous in choosing the best applicants to make up for the decrease in rank? I guess this leads to my other qu…

I doubt they pay close attention, but I bet they at least scan it if not fully read it.

The Top 14 not only have much better placement into Big Law which would help you pay off your debt, but also have better LRAPs(loan repayment assistance programs) which will allow you to pay your debt if you couldn't get Big Law or if you choose to …
