First, thanks for your service. Second, while I cannot address your question specifically, I know that on two different school visits, after finding out that I'm a retired jarhead, that was how I was introduced to everyone, students, staff, profess…

FWIW, I think the 7Sage $10.00 Admission Overview package is an excellent value. It contains information and suggestions for each component of an admissions package, with good and bad examples. If you go on to purchase other 7Sage admissions produ…

If you have a LSAC CAS account, you can actually start your applications for each school and see directly what their prompts are for essays and other parts of the application in general. Good luck!

@ChaimtheGreat N=1 so take it for what its worth. They did indicate it was more useful towards the end of the cycle when trying to determine if they (the school) are an applicant’s safety. I do think knowing this information will make me approach …

Bump. I visited a law school today and asked this question directly to their admissions office. They responded with, "To try to determine who is serious about us. Its basically a way we guard our yield."

I’m down. I’ll read both and send one (PS).

I think this really depends on the school and you as an applicant. I spent two hours with an admissions person at my TC and we talked about everything under the sun. Much of it had zero to do with law school. I did lead off with asking about a sp…

I got fired from my last job. They said they caught me on video stealing boxes on my day off.

They are more frank and straightforward than many people are used to, but I find them entertaining for what they do. They have strong positions on LSAT study, many of which I don’t ascribe to. I do find their deconstruction of personal statements …

@ChaimtheGreat said: I was just wondering whether I should answer this question too- I think Chicago asked for it. I am undecided on what I will do. The issue to me is, I don't know why they want the information. And if I don't know why, I …

Full disclosure: I'm an idiot. The prompts were for comments that were 500 / 1000 characters not words. You think I would have caught that since I've spent the last year parsing language and reading for comprehension. My wife is happy she doesn't…

I'm not quite there yet as I am furiously editing and revising my application essays and scheduling my last law school visit; however, I suspect I will feel a big gap when I hit my last submit button on 29 September. My wife fully expects me to get…

@"surfy surf" said: There is no negative in your situation. The example I listed of applying to 10 schools in one region and 1 in another doesn’t apply to you if you’re only applying to three schools. Like I said, if you’re a reach based on yo…

@eRetaker said: I read this from a former T-14 adcomm who said that some schools use it for statistical purposes and other schools use it for yield protection. His advice was to just make sure that the school in question isn't the lowest ranke…

@"surfy surf" To dig deeper into this, you say no impact on answering then immediately talk about a negative impact, so I’m left a bit confused. I’m not trying to hide the fact that I consider the school a reach. I said that directly to them in pe…
-
@"surfy surf" The question is optional (i.e not required on the LSAC app). @Rtwrtw8 I visited the reach school and toured the campus. I had an open and frank discussion with their assistent admissions director concerning my application and competi…

Echoing the comments above, I believe that schools themselves are open and even seek diversity. Individual bias will always unfortunately exist. For example, I volunteer at a legal clinic at a Jesuit school. Among its student organizations are bo…

I like watching the Netflix documentary on the urban crimal defense lawyer, Matthew Murdock. Additional note of inspiration is that he is disabled and his perseverance and determination while being blind is uplifting.
-
Call the admissions committee at the school in question. I did that exact thing today for the exact prompt you list and I was told they wanted any graduate level tests (GRE, TOEFL, MCAT) etc. I specifically asked about the SAT and ACT and I was to…

@Bamboosprout In the LSAC application for the two schools that do not have “Why X” essays as a requirement on their school admissions website, they both included questions that stated, “Tell us why you want to attend our school (500 word limit) and …

teamcorn. I heard they are giving team corn +3 on their reported score.

Keep it. Possible upside outweighs the benefits of canceling, especially as you think you may have done better.

Not a Jedi by any means, but I know what has not worked for me in my previous two attempts, so I'm totally changing the script this time. I took my last PT last Wednesday (yes, a week ago). Just got done with BR (only did a few pages a day). No fr…

Errrrrr.... LSAT destroying all social skills

Read into what you want. At this point, mental confidence has priority. Its not like there is a question about your most recent PT during check-in. Good luck

I'm on an iPhone. Happens with both native music app and Overcast podcast app.
