From what I’ve seen, very little. Your GPA is the main thing they are concerned about. It might be a soft factor if you went to an Ivy or something. But generally, they just want to see good grades and I think they do take into account the info they…

Since you've been out of school a while, professional LORs are ok. It's great that you have an academic one though, and you should definitely use it. But it'd be better to have a strong letter from a supervisor than a not-so-strong one from a profes…

Agreed with @akistotle. You could go to grad school if that's what you really wanted to do for yourself, but not for any reasons re: GPA and law school acceptance. That's not a great plan for making yourself look better to admissions. If you don't …

1) I think this is more important if you have only work experience during school, where it would be part time. I have been out of school quite a while, so didn't list hours because I only have my post-school full time positions on my resume. I did i…

@LSATcantwin HI BUDDY! Hope NU is treating you well.

It depends on how each application is worded. You don't need to put all of them on your resume. Just how you would a standard resume... put your most recent and relevant experience. But on the application section, each school will word it a little d…

Yeah, second what @Tom_Tango said. LSAC's policy is they only consider grades up through your first bachelor's degree. So taking more classes won't bring the GPA up. Your best odds would be to really buckle down on the LSAT and shoot for scoring 170…

@CeeCarino Since your bachelor's was so long ago, most schools won't expect you to have an academic letter. If you could get one, it'd be nice. But otherwise, you should try to get LORs from supervisors that you have worked under. Someone who knows …

@lsatplaylist said: Thanks! I like this email. What about if you go to a law school fair? And what if you don't have an LSAT yet? I don't have much experience with fairs. I only went to one last year and it was late, past the prime time t…

@lsatplaylist said: Sorry if this was covered already, but how have people made fee waiver requests before? What did you say? Yes, it's very simple. Keep it short and polite. Below is a sample email from TLS. I always recommend changing the…

I think you should write both and use whichever one feels strongest. There's not any one topic that's better or worse in a vacuum. It's whichever one is more meaningful to you, whichever one you can write most sincerely about.

Woo! Excited for this one, thanks David!

I think it doesn't hurt to have 3 on file and you can choose later which to send to which schools. I had 3 letters (only 1 academic - I've been out of school a pretty long time) and typically only sent 2 to schools but would change them out dependin…

Do you know your average BR score? If it's pretty high, then you do know what you are doing but having issues with the timed conditions. Also when doing BR, are you only reviewing the answers that you circled during the test? Because I also think f…
-
Yes, you will have to submit it. Luckily though, they only calculate your undergraduate GPA so it won't affect your official GPA that law schools use. But you still have to submit transcripts for any schools you attended.

@"Pride Only Hurts" said: @"Leah M B" said: I would say, in nerdy LSAT language, having a high 170s BR score is sufficient but not necessary. I typically BR 175+ and hit 180 once but am stuck in the 168-169 range timed. So, having …

Woooo! Congrats @Vibrio @MissChanandler and @Ohnoeshalpme!!

If you're located near the school, I'd call them and try to find out where the test is given and see if you can go check out the room(s) to see the setup. Also, here on the board there is a section for "Test Center Reviews" that you can see if there…

January... but you would likely have some consequences applying that late. Some schools (particularly the ones T20+) are sensitive to late applications. I think there is less competition at lower ranked schools though, so it depends on where you are…

I say keep the score. Sounds like damage was limited. Best case scenario, you hit your goal. Worst case, it's slightly lower but not awful and you can retake. If it was a whole section and you only got halfway through fixing it... I'd say cancel. Th…
-
It's ok to try, but you might have less success. The worst they would do is say no, or to get back to them when you have your score.

Personally, I haven't even gone back to BR my tests. I did appreciate seeing how many I missed in each section and there were a few questions that bugged me that I was dying to know what the answer was. But otherwise, I feel like for me it's best to…

I think that the only remedy that LSAC would give you is to cancel your score and give you a free retake. I think it's unlikely they would write a letter describing the circumstances. You could have your own email sending in this incident as evidenc…
