@sc1293 said: Should I be concerned about the fact that I will have taken less than 30 PTs? I'll hit this part of your question. If you are PTing in the range of your target score, everything else is just noise. The number of tests other p…

@bestjay912 said: @FixedDice and @LSAT_Wrecker thanks for the advice. I don't have the luxury to put it off again since i quit my job to study full time but i could probably take it again in January. should i keep on working on the core curric…

I was going to offer some advice, but then I saw @FixedDice said exactly what I was going to say...

Initial email of thanks and progress updates periodically during the cycle. Once you've made your decision, a coffee mug of the chosen school along with a personal note of thanks. https://www.cooleylawbookstore.com/outerweb/product_images/WMUCooley…

FWIW and for a little more motivation: with my 163, today’s mail delivered me a full ride to one of my top choice schools (a T2 that is very strong in the market that I currently live in / want to practice in). Keep grinding and realize that it pa…

Cold diagnostic of 147. A year later, I put a 163 on the record after averaging 165 in PTs for ~2 months (including a couple of outliers of 169x3 and 167x1). Study averaged 4 hours a day. Improvement will come. Don't put a timeline on it, just focu…

https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/discussion/#/discussion/17682/telling-schools-who-their-competition-is-updated-w-answer-directly-from-law-school-admissions I asked a school directly what they used this information for. "Yield protection" was t…

I started with 2.5 pages and I thought I couldn't cut a word. Then I chopped it to 2 pages and was like, "This is it!" Then I noticed my target school would only accept 500 words. After collapsing in despair, I chopped, chopped, and chopped and go…

There’s a previous thread called “Resumes for old people” that is recent and touches on this. I’d post a link, but my phone is not letting me.

@brizzle525 said: you shouldn't beat yourself up forever. You made a mistake. It hurts and it sucks big time. But one mistake doesn't define you and if you are meant to be a lawyer, this one mistake will not utterly derail you from that goal. …

Speaking as one who has successfully received one offer of admission with a C&F statement, here's what worked for me. Short sentences; just the facts - date, crime, outcome, fine; accept responsibility. Get in and get out. Let them focus on othe…

Take this for what its worth, one guy's opinion... I've taken the LSAT formally 3 times. I am positive, like bet my house, 4 children, and kidney positive, that the instructions explicitly say that you are not allowed to work on any section besides…

lsac.org. School search. Input your gpa and lsat score. The output is a 2017 applicant’s chance of admittance with the input gpa and lsat. It shows a % range for every law school.

Need more information to give you an assessment, i.e. what are the medians at your target schools?
-
A couple of different data points for you. The LSAC GPA/LSAT search tool has an application with your stats at a 20-30% chance of admission Spivey's class of 2021 data has Texas Tech's LSAT scores at 152/155/157 and a GPA median of 3.43. 2017 509 …

The more I dig, the more I think this is a thing (schools reducing scholarship offers due to veteran benefits). 2 separate examples in the below linked thread. For those that it applies to, its definitely something to watch as we play the admissions…

I took the test 3 times. In the build up to the first and second, I used the 5 section model. In the build to my 3rd (and highest score), I only used 4 sections (and cut down on timed PTs significantly, but that's another a story for another threa…

Its been way too long since this thread popped up. I was doing some soul searching today and had a funny thought about age and perspective. I have two serious volunteer gigs, one at a local legal clinic and the other as a mentor in a veteran's trea…

Echoing the above, I rocked blue slacks, a polo shirt, and leather shoes (i.e. business casual) for visits in SoCal and in the midwest. I received tours from students in shorts. Aim for nice and professional, but not over the top formal.

Heavy note-taker / annotator here as well. I typically went with 3 pencils per test (including real ones). I would sharpen them each to begin the test and again during the break. That gave me something to do besides stress for the entire 15 minut…

@oshun1 The school in question is a regional school that places well where I live. As its early in the cycle, I don't want to jinx myself by making a list. @LCMama2017 Funny you bring up handwriting notes. I did this for one of my school visits t…

Pay attention to the school’s resume prompt. Some specifically ask for all employment, both full and part-time. While preparing applications, I actually had to adjust my resume to reflect some part-time work that I initially left off my “main” res…

@Ellie0257 said: Just wanted to follow up and thank you all for your super helpful input! I presented it to my parents, and it went really well - thanks to all of you. So I am now officially waiting another year to apply and postponing taking …

You posted your question on an internet forum, so I'll give you a response. Don't take it as a lecture, just an answer to a question that you asked for. If you don't want people to tell you something, don't ask. Is an increase of that magnitude pos…

I would offer sampling bias as well. We are in a space restricted mainly to people willing to dedicate time and effort to studying for a hard standarized test. The 7Sage population, as amazing as they all are, is not representative of a true cross…

As a St Louis resident, suggestions on things to talk about (assuming you are into any of this). - the Cardinals-baseball - the Blues-hockey, - the Zoo (its awesome, really) - St Louis Science Center - the Gateway Cycle (a four day/race bicycl…

@oshun1 If I remember correctly, the Montgomery GI Bill covers 36 months (or whatever 4 years without summer months is). I used it to get my undergraduate degree which is why I only have 13 months eligibility left (I graduated in just under 3 year…
