Yes, I think it would be smart to apply earlier to any schools that you think would be less likely to waitlist or reject you based on the 161. I would also caution you though to keep in mind that over the last few years, law school admissions have g…

As always, 7sage is the best. Thank you so much!!

No, the .04 difference will not matter much for T13 acceptance. Both are very competitive GPAs. To put some numbers on it, here's MyLSN chances of acceptance for each (I used 170-174 LSAT as a solid T13 range for estimation purposes): 3.82 https:/…

Whoa so weird! Glad you called and thanks for reporting back - that may help someone else out in the future.

Aw buddy. Hang in there! The waiting is the hardest part. https://media.giphy.com/media/lXiRKBj0SAA0EWvbG/giphy.gif

@"the truth hurts" said: @Supernovice said: What's up with all the salt, Bro? Dude was just asking a very reasonable question... That’s your opinion. I thought the question was nonsensical and I responded in kind. Why woul…

Each school has their own policy, but I think the majority default to holding your application as incomplete if you have a pending score (registered for an upcoming test). However, you can submit an app and request that they mark it as complete and …

@Supernovice Hahaha... yes I kind of hate not seeing the letters. But I know that both of them gave me hearty recommendations and trust them very much. One is just a super introvert and I didn’t expect him to send me the letter. I think he’d just ge…

Glad that @LSAT_Wrecker already replied! Also if he has any free time during 1L (hah), maybe @LSATcantwin could help out as well. In the meantime, you can check out his previous posts for some insight.

Yes, you should always officially waive your right with LSAC. However, it is totally fine for you to see the letter if your recommender is ok with showing it to you or lets you read it over. What I did was when I emailed my recommenders, I asked th…

It’s usually pretty quick, it’s all electronic.But since you’re up against a deadline, I’d say you should just call the school’s admissions office and let them know you just submitted your app for ED and wanted to double check they have everything t…

Is it possible to get a decent job after attending a 60s ranked law school? Sure. People do it. Many do not, though, and it matters a lot what your end goal is. If you want one of the fancy biglaw jobs that pay well into the 6 figures right out of s…

Bumping this thread back up for posterity. I'm re-applying this year and though I updated my application year in CRS, a good number of schools that gave me unsolicited waivers last year didn't this year. I just reached out to Michigan and Cornell to…

Nice! I've heard people say sudoku is good for LG-like practice as well. Not really the same thing, but sort of works the same muscle, ya know?
-
I'm going to piggy back on this thread and ask a question too, if someone sees it... I just put 2 and 2 together and realized that the university I graduated from doesn't put Dean's List on transcripts. Has anyone dealt with that? My academic summa…

I've never been a perfect scorer on LG but at my peak was consistently around -2. I stayed stuck at about -4/-5 for a while when I realized that rule substitution questions were a huge time suck for me. I decided to start skipping them and my score …

@MissChanandler said: Wouldn't part time school be less stressful? I'm a little confused about what you're asking Yes for school, but not on top of working 40+ hours per week. Full time job + law school in the evenings means basically no fre…

I think it's a personal thing and you'll have to decide for yourself what works. You could always try it for a year and if it can't be done, quit the job and go full time. I've considered the part time track too, but knowing myself and that I have a…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: As an aside, stay-at-home dad is apparently not good enough to cover the gap, but that's a conversation for a different forum. ... seriously?? UGH. If a school wasn't cool with that, I'd be crossing them off my list. Th…
-
If you know 100% that you will apply to each of these schools regardless of your LSAT score, I'd go ahead and apply before you take the LSAT. They will be able to see that you are registered for an upcoming test, but it wouldn't hurt to email them a…

I think you should include the job and list it at the top if that's where you most recent job would be. You could do several things - add an addendum to explain the change, maybe add a bullet point under the law firm job noting that you resigned in …

I kept mine at Times New Roman 12 for everything, including resume. (12 pt seemed to be a size that worked for all schools, so I kept it that to not have to re-size things all the time.) My resume is all the same with the exception of my name at the…
-
4 months is enough to get through the CC and do a few PTs before the test date, and I think that'd be a great path for you. Don't bother with the Powerscore books. It's difficult mixing materials and better to stick with 1 curriculum at a time to no…

Generally, the wisdom is that you want your LOR to be from people who have good, personal knowledge of your abilities and that is preferred over someone with a fancy title. So, I'd say the first 2 and leave out the third unless needed for some reaso…
-
I think in your case it's kind of a coin flip. I wouldn't say you should go to school in the midwest or west coast hoping to get back to the tri-state area. But going to school somewhere like Boston or DC would probably be good options, along with m…

Updating your resume is a good idea if you have anything you can add to it. Otherwise, you should plan on revising or doing totally new essays. Do you have to write/revise your essay? No, schools will accept the old one. However, it reflects much be…

It's always best practice to practice the way you will do things on test day. So if you plan not to use an eraser, then don't practice with one. That said, erasing things is unnecessarily time consuming. You have a lot of space on the test. It's be…

Very cool - I love reading new ones, and it's especially helpful to know the results!

Nice work folks! If you can't get the exact information on the oldest one, it's ok. I had a couple speeding tickets from 15+ years ago that I couldn't really track down either. I put in my C&F disclosure vague details, and didn't have questions …
