You are going to want to have a few components. Thank them for their consideration. Tell them they are still your first choice. Tell them why they are your first choice(be specific with examples of programs, a personal connection, or maybe things y…

@"Leah M B" said: Yeah I think @"Seeking Perfection"'s approach makes a lot of sense once you get off a waitlist. Obviously, LOCIs and might want to plan visits if you can swing it. Anything to set yourself apart as particularly interested. I …

Neither! You should strive to be PTing as well as you possibly can be before you take again. If that's June or September that's fine. If it's not, that's fine too. But, you have to keep studying. I think a 160 would be a good intermediate goal for…

I'm fairly sure it's normal. It's common practice to send a copy of competing offers either upon request or with an initial negotiation email. I'm not sure if the offers are confidential in terms of whether the school could share them, but you defi…

Did the test feel like it went well or poorly? I doubt rescoring it by hand will change anything. That's probably more useful with the disclosed tests where you can see a scanned in copy of your answer sheet and know that the scantron misgraded one…

I'm sure that adcoms will doubt the significance of a small imrovement a little more. What if you just got it by accident? However, fundamentally their ranking depends on your highest score not their feelings about whether it was representative so …
-
I would say that if you can get 10 points by June (which might be possible) you can get more by September. Every point counts so you want to maximize your score. At the very least you are going to want to go through the Core Curriculum(approx1 mont…
-
I think they get it automatically. I don't think you get to choose not to send it. Most will just look at the highest score though so it probably isn't a huge deal.

Chance you at Harvard? http://mylsn.info/z2dtlo/ The above is just for the numbers. It sounds like great work and volunteering experience, but I'm sure Harvard sees that a lot. I'd use it as an excuse to bump up your approximately 38% chance by …

This seems pretty on target about the GRE, what its effect will be, and why certain schools are switching over to it. One angle that I hadn't heard mentioned before that the Dean noted was that larger law schools are adopting it first. She noted th…

The data is going to be murky on the magnitude of that sort of a boost. The sample size is too small. That said, I can see Paralympian as a line a law school would like to include in a list showcasing the experiences of their class so it could help …

A good way to find out would just be to use law school numbers to see what happened with other people. http://schools.lawschoolnumbers.com For instance American University has a median GPA of 3.29 with a median LSAT score of 155. It looks to me l…

Many people film themselves to get a better idea of when they are wasting time thinking about an answer they already know is right. But, this saves a little time at the edges. The main way to save time is to gain better understanding through furthe…

I don't really have anything useful to contribute. I got the email today too. From what I can tell they interview most people who they accept along with some people who they don't. The old TLS forums seem to suggest that they interview both border…

Lots of people recommend Getting to Maybe. It's a quick read and not too taxing. Some recommend the LEEWS course, but I'm not sure if it's worth the money. A friend gave me the book from it and I'm reading that. It seems informative about the struc…

It will depend on the school. At some schools your 3.84 will be above median and at a handful it will be below the median. ( The median is where there are 50 percent of applicants above and 50 percent below. The law schools ranking is based on media…

The only reason I would decline to answer (and I'm always close to doing so) is on principle. For example, if you don't feel like any of the categories accurately describe you it might be a reason to refuse to answer. However, as far as your app th…
