I'd be very sure about the GPA condition and your anticipated ability to maintain it prior to signing on the dotted line. I'd research other people's experiences / stories as it applies to conditional scholarships and the reality of the law school …

My n=1 opinion, since funds are limited and you already have it, I would do the Trainer first (including all of the exercises and drills included) and then join 7Sage. Prior to joining 7Sage, I completed the Trainer, the Manhattan LR and Powerscore…

I have no idea whether they do or not, I just look at the exercise as a risk mitigation event. Why would I spend months / years studying for the LSAT and working on different inputs (resume/PS/additional essays) to my application that will be the b…

@beezmoof I sent you a PM. If anyone actually accepts and attends WUSTL, please hit me up. I plan on applying there in the fall (assuming I can get my LSAT up) and would love to hear your impressions of the school after a semester or two of class…

https://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/61642345/preach-sister-preach.jpg I thought for a minute you were writing my story... I too scored lower than I expected to walking into the Feb LSAT (although higher than I expected when walking out). LG (admit…

@"Seeking Perfection" Thanks for the thoughtful / thorough response. It actually caused an "ah-ha, that's it!" personal statement moment as I contemplated it during my morning workout. As it turns out, I have absolutely no issues convincing myself…

@"surfy surf" , I will admit, I think the negative reactions I am reading / hearing from different media are to the generalized statement of "I want to help" vs the specific "I want to be a public defender and specialize / work in a mental health / …

Go Bruins! Congrats.

Congrats! How did you stop yourself from going crazy in the inter-year?

FWIW, sample size is n=1. Prior to joining here, I went through the Trainer, Manhattan LR, and PS LG Bible, completely. Doing every single problem / drill in each book (why buy it if you aren't going to use it). I am currently ~35% of the way thr…

Come on!!!! I was good with tomorrow. Now I won't be able to go to sleep. Time for some Netflix binge-watching.

Go back and do what you did for fun before you started studying for the LSAT. If that doesn't help: Go for a swim, bike, run, hike, walk, take your kids to the zoo, volunteer at your local food bank, read a book you have been meaning to, binge-wat…

It was blantantly obvious that a few people either never read the instructions or blantantly disregarded the instructions: cell phone use in line to enter the room, no supplies period (pencil or otherwise), one guy asked to use a fidget spinner dur…

Different techniques work for different people. However, I tend to fall into the "wait until you have finished the CC" group. Here's why: I perceive the "you learn most by taking tests" meme to actually mean "you learn more when reviewing your te…

My wife and I have been watching this topic with particular interest since the new administration took over. She is in community mental health care. Access to this program is a large incentive for many people to work in the public sector. Abolish…

Edit: misread your question. Sorry

@jyarmo, definitely interested to hear feedback on the other side of your trip with respect to how / if you were able to gather any reliable feedback on the collaborative vs cut throat aspect of the student body. That is a very important factor to …

@Alex said: No, I read that. But try living there with a car and I think you'l understand why it factors into so many other people's decisions regardless of where you're living. Cost/parking/inconvenience - those are the main reasons people …

@Alex said: Try living in Manhattan with a car. You'll find the answer pretty quickly lol I think most other people probably have similar concerns or it's primarily financial. The "metropolises like New York" in the original post was intende…

@10000019 said: "the ability to live without a car is a meaningful input into a school decision" Can you elaborate on that? I don't understand what that encompasses. I'm in my 20s and have never owned a car. Not having a car sucks for …

You’ll not get accepted to every school you don’t apply to. Assuming you have the money to do so, what good reason is there to not apply to any school you are interested in? The worst thing that can happen is that you won’t be admitted, which is y…

I answered their questions; I felt largely meh about them. Every business wants big data. What is annoying the heck out of me is the fact that I still get emails asking me to do the survey, even though I did it a few days after the test. I got an…

Good luck to everyone with whatever your goals are. For me, the only variable in my decision is location. My family moved to St Louis when I retired from the military so my wife could start to prioritize / plant roots in her career without moving …

Must mean they are posting the Feb LSAT scores... Sorry, hard to type that with a straight face.

This is a summary of what Ann Levine says in "The Law School Admission Game", 3rd Ed. Applications are received and checked for "completeness" (I think I just made that word up). Then they are likely put into three "virtual" stacks: (1) presumpti…

Lots of great vibes in this thread. Good luck to everyone, where ever you are in your journey.

Related question for the 2nd career crowd - Any thoughts on submitting a diversity statement accentuating your age / life / unique work experience? A claim made in another thread was that the average law student's age is 26-27. Many in this thread…

@MsMazama , you and I have the same passion / desire for our legal careers. My wife works in community mental health so I hear about lots of issues. There are a significant structural issues within our legal system for people with mental illness, …

I want to be a lawyer because I saw a really good lawyer on TV called Matt Murdock. Hoping to learn how to do what he does in law school.

After 25 years in the military, I'm applying to law school in the fall of this year (to start in 2019). Complete 180 degrees from my previous life. Good luck with your prep.
