how much more of a boost (if any) you'd get from ed'ing at georgetown has been debated.
according to this blog, georgetown is one of those schools that seems to treat ed applications no differently. https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/applying-to-law…
i would just make sure to finish school with the highest gpa as possible.
schools do look at your transcript and the rigor of courses you took, your major, etc.
but this is trivial compared to how much more they look at your gpa and lsat score.

you asked for "top law school admission"; if you were talking about schools like yale, yes they will matter because hard stats may not be enough to gain acceptance, with so many other applicants with great numbers.
but in many of the lower-ranked …
@"Second Language" if they let you re-take after a few days (still within the same testing administration), they will delete your old score and replace it with your re-take.
if they issue you a coupon for you to use in future administrations, they…
less is more, and i've heard a few deans (including berkeley) say that "optional" does really mean optional.
on the other side of the argument is that this cycle might turn out different than the previous cycles; i've also heard a few consultants s…
lsac will pay for your hotel if you request on time (there's a budget limit though), as they have done so in the past.
closer to your test date, you will get a form to fill out if you need a loaner device or a quiet space. there's a deadline for i…
^ it will cost op $125 for a test date change up until jan. 15, so it is a bit cheaper if op doesn't withdraw and just move the test date.

just fyi, lsac typically holds the last few days reserved for non-traditional test takers and re-testers.
i took the august flex; the email clearly said that the testing period went from august 29 - sept 4, but the latest date i could sign up for w…
yes, you can; i recommend familiarizing yourself with the accommodation process at the law school that you'll be attending and start gathering the relevant documents.
some schools have a more extensive process than others; the required documents a…
the op is right; some people were able to sign up and have already scheduled their jan lsat.
i know what the email says, but this has been an old "trick" that many test takers have done in the past.

sorry i was just curious and i didn't really answer your question haha..
my bet is that when law schools evaluate geographic diversity, they also look at your permanent residency because:
when you set up your lsac account, you also put in your pe…

i think this is a great question, and i've also wondered about this before.

i'm not sure if it's "too late" to get a full-tuition offer after january, but i'd bet that many schools would still be willing to give these offers to their exceptional applicants.
though, i think it's fair to say that one's chance of admissions a…
i agree with @canihazJD
i think that using a tutor at the very beginning of your prep might give you a less return on investment as opposed to getting one later or when you've plateaued and have no idea of what to do moving forward.
but if you h…
i tried doing +20 games in one sitting without a break.
personally, the issue was not the amount of memorization my brain needed to handle but my body and life and soul going closer to a burn-out.
