Is there no possibility of doing both? Do you have to travel to go to this school? Open houses don't take all day. And if you have a typical 2 day weekend, could you do the open house one day and PT on the other? That said, I don't think it's cruci…

There are a few factors to consider. Is scholarship money an issue to you? I'm not familiar with Columbia's ED program, but I typically don't recommend EDing any school that doesn't have a significant guaranteed scholarship for ED. The odds are high…

I think it's accurate-ish. I like to use the mylsn.info one a little more, because I like being able to click through and check out the relevant LSN profiles and see scholarship money awarded.

The general reasoning behind not bringing a parent is that it can make you seem younger, less mature. I only saw a parent or two between the 2 ASWs that I went to last year. As someone else mentioned above, I think it also might hinder some of your …

Agree with the others. If there's no guaranteed scholarship, then I would not ED there unless you are prepared to pay full sticker. It's possible they could award you some scholarship, but it's just as likely that they won't - and either way, you'd …

O. M. G. This is exactly what we needed! Awesome work, y'all. Such a fantastic resource.

Do you have full days off like on the weekend for you to take a full PT? I highly highly recommend you practice with the amount of time. It's a very long time to try to stay focused, and you'll need to have an idea of how much you'll need to bring f…

Generally yes. Unless it says something like "except minor traffic violations," then you are expected to disclose everything. And as it mentions, that even includes expunged charges and if you've been charged, regardless of conviction. I had to disc…

Ditto, month and year. 3 years out isn’t all that long. It’s recent enough that they’d likely expect you to recall specifics.
-
It probably depends on the school’s procedures whether you get the financial info with your acceptance or not. But no, regardless of the financial offer, you are committed to attend. It’s part of the reason that I personally think it’s only wise to …

To some degree, but they will generally just consider the number. They will get information like what the median GPA at your school is, so they will be able to compare to that. But regardless of what school you attended, the straight number of your …

I think it sounds like a solid topic. But I'd also recommend checking out the forum at lawschool.life. There's a thread there on all things AnBryce and at least 1, maybe 2, prior AnBryce recipients that answer questions.

I agree with a lot of the others here, particularly @Bamboosprout. You have an excellent LSAT score and I think the time it would take to study to consistently be hitting above a 171 wouldn't be the best use of your time. If anything, I'd say take a…

It could be helpful, if you're early in your studying. But I think there are downsides, mainly that you're taking out assessing your confidence errors. It helps to know when you were over- or under-confident on something. For example, if you didn't …

Omg, what a nightmare!! Hoo boy. I would say, given the circumstances, a 6 point drop from average is pretty damn good. I would've been more of a mess than that. Thanks for sharing your experience!
-
That's correct on what @keets993 said, the core curriculum is the same on all the packages. But for each package, you get additional LR and RC explanations. (The LG videos are all free!) So, I'd highly recommend buying whatever package you can reaso…

I got to my site about 45 minutes early because parking is super tight. 30 minutes before, there was a huge rush of people that came in and the parking was all filled. Without the parking hassle, I’d say to still get there no later than 8:15. Probab…

@LSATcantwin said: Omg. Can I still drop out? I don’t want to be like Jeff Sessions! thanks for this! Best line of the song lol. So good.

@akistotle said: I can’t think of a reason why I haven’t watched this show. I love Broadway and think Santino Fontana is one of the most talented performers out there (although I know he left the show) Omg Santino... ::heart eyes emoj…

Hahaha omg! I don’t remember what the practice question was last year but it was nothing like that. Just standard interview questions. Did you do the interview already? And ugh I know... my life for the last 12 years has just been... working. And …

LSAT is not more important than your actual life. Sounds like you have studied well and are pretty prepared. Missing 1 PT won't change that. If you do want to PT while you're there, that's fine. But don't miss out on seeing your sister and the baby …
-
Yeah it's a repeat. That's just kind of how the apps are. They also ask for your work history, which obviously is on your resume. I did include Latin honors on mine... mostly because I don't have that many honors/awards haha.... pretty much just Lat…

@john1roger said: So by your guys reasoning, only those with documented affiliation to a tribe can be considered Native American? What about one who grew up in a Mayan village and came here? He might not have any documentation, but surely he i…
-
I definitely would not check Native American. Tribes are very sensitive to claiming heritage without proof - could give a bad impression if anyone asked and you don’t have any real verification. Obviously beyond that, it’s a little tricky. I might …

I've seen some even say 4+ points is addendum worthy. Basically like @NotMyName said, being in a different score band. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Since yours were so far apart, I might do an addendum (or sometimes there's just a text box to fi…

I'd highly recommend checking out the blogs of the admissions departments of a few schools. Yale's "Ask Asha" has a lot of really good information: https://law.yale.edu/admissions/jd-admissions/ask-asha It's old, Asha isn't at Yale anymore, but the…

Yeah, what @Rtwrtw08 said is a good approach I think. Listing awards, accolades etc on a resume is fine and a link to an online portfolio, so if they want to view it they can. Otherwise, submitting anything beyond what they ask for is generally a no…

I don't think PTs during the week are a great move. Maybe some can do it, and it might depend on your job. But I am too brain tired to do one after work. I did PTs on Saturdays and then BR on Sunday-Monday. During the week, I focused on drills, revi…
