@"Simple Man" That is awesome! I am a little jealous of the 2 years and no debt haha. Congratulations!!

Hi @how_do_you_badiou! First of all, congrats on having an awesome place to start from with the LSAT. I would normally say 3 months is way too short (I heard the same advice and then learned just how very wrong that was lol) but in your case, you ha…

I did a lot of things while LSAT studying - worked full time, looked for a job, was a bridesmaid, moved apartments, etc. I agree a lot with the others that the key is simply to make a schedule and stick to it. I'm not a morning person, so did my st…

I don't think non-traditional is well-defined, but (obviously) it's anyone that doesn't fit a "traditional" profile of an incoming law student. Since the average age of incoming 1Ls is around 24-26 years old, it would typically be someone older than…

Not really. Sorry. It's kind of a marketing ploy as much as anything else. For higher ranking schools, they will sometimes be more selective with giving out fee waivers. However, it really doesn't mean anything except possibly that you have stats (L…

😂 It's kind of a lot of work entering it all in to the calculators, I never did that part myself. What you do is, look at how many credit hours you have for each grade. Say, if you got an A in 3 classes that were worth 4 credits each, you enter 1…

@"Wesley-B" said: Congrats @"Leah M B"! I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago and took some time to walk around Northwestern Law's campus. Absolutely beautiful place to be, and a great school to boot. Thanks for your posting and support of …

@BinghamtonDave Dave nooo! I'm so sorry! That sucks - you deserve so much better than that. I know it's probably little consolation, but everyone has been predicting there to be more WL movement this year than last. And I know at least some schools …

There are a number of schools that offer full tuition plus a stipend. WUSTL is one, and Iowa I believe frequently does too. The easiest way to figure that out is to look at a schools ABA 509 report under the Grants and Scholarships section. They lis…

@hawaiihi - you know, I think your "print once and use scratch paper" is actually even better now because of the switch to digital. If you can fit the whole game on the screen, you may want to not print at all. Simply keep track of times on a spread…

All the advice above is great. I also can not recommend highly enough the webinar called “Post Core Curriculum Study Strategies.” If you haven’t watched it yet, it will give you lots of ideas on how to drill and when you’re ready to move on to diffe…

I think it’s really reasonable to retake in your situation. If you were consistently PTing in the low 170s, then you have good reason to believe you can do better. Even that 1 point to hit 170 will significantly help. That said, if you don’t want t…

There are a few shortcuts, especially if you want to save on printing. Some people print only 1 copy and put it in a clear sheet protector and then use a dry erase marker on that. I definitely think it’s not necessary to print 10 copies of every si…

I think your routine sounds awesome! The only thing I would change up is this: when BRing a PT, I think the best approach is how it’s described in the cc. When you take a PT, circle any question that you either totally didn’t know, or maybe were uns…

Besides that, I’m trying to see what is the best vacation I can take for the least amount of money 😂. And then trying to get my finances in order and prepare for my move.

Opinions definitely vary, but the majority of students and schools really advise you to not worry about it and just take some time to have fun, relax, and get things in order for school to start. I have heard the book “Getting to Maybe” is good for …

Well... I think the answer is yes and no. The median isn’t an average. The median is the middle number in a set of numbers. Let’s say, you’re an admissions officer at a law school and you have 5 total applicants. Their LSAT scores are: 168 166 1…

@cooljon525 said: Congrats!! Im surprised USC was a waitlist. I think they do that sometimes with very good applicants because they don't think the person will come to their school. Thank you! I know, I was pretty bummed about that one. I fi…

@10000019 said: Congrats, but WTF why did Berkeley reject you. Haha thank you! And 🤷🏼♀️ I was hoping at least for a WL the second time but I guess that holistic process does not always go in your favor lol.
