Man, that's a really tough call. I think I'd say, if you genuinely would seriously consider attending Harvard if they accepted you, then I'd stay on the list. At this point, since you already have everything lined up at Michigan and are ready and ab…

I really think it would be a mistake to commit to a school you don't want to attend. Transferring is difficult, and even if you were able to do it, you often don't get any scholarship money. There are a lot of us around here that work full time (I …

@mcglz_64 said: Are there some schools that are for sure just doing WLs and rejections from this point on? Still waiting on my top top schools right now but have gotten 1 acceptance, 2 WLs and 3 rejections already For sure some schools. Pret…

@LSATcantwin said: I'm pretty sure Irvine has just lost my application. It some how ended up in the "trash" bin on a desktop somewhere. That would explain how I'm still waiting... I think there are a ton of us in that same boat. Radio silenc…

@Reissies73 said: Thanks so much @"Leah M B"-- super sound advice, I will try to get in some 5 section tests anyway just for practice, but not stress too much about it. You're right about the notating part, I think I'm the same way as you…
-
As for 4 or 5 section tests, most people will say do 5 sections. I will however admit that I pretty much exclusively did 4 section PTs leading up to taking the LSAT in December. I think I did 1 or 2 5-section tests. I did find it a little exhausting…

I just use the analytics and love them. Is there some reason you want a different one? Something missing from analytics?

I think you made a solid choice. If you have more cash later and want to upgrade, 7sage is very generous and can extend your package to get the missing months, as if you signed up for Ultimate+ originally. I started with the Starter also since I ha…

Yes general logic seems to be that law schools want to see you doing something with your time, and LSAT studying is ok but preferred to have some sort of part time at least work or volunteering. Doesn't have to be related to law at all. It probably …

It's really best to avoid private loans if at all possible. You should be able to borrow federal loans up to the cost of attendance (Stafford and Grad Plus loans). You should only need private loans if you need financing above and beyond the cost of…

I don't think you should have to send in a high school transcript. If you received college credit, you send in a transcript from the college. That's what happened for me. I had a couple of high school classes that resulted in credit from my local co…

@tylerdschreur10 said: More related to PSLF, but want to follow up on the likely effects of PI lawyers. This is the brilliance of PSLF, and why it must be preserved! It all but eliminates the financial barrier to a public interest legal career…

Agreed with @Emily2122. If this came to pass, it would mean I could pretty much only attend a law school where I received full tuition. That basically would only cover living expenses at most schools. I won’t go down the private loan path - those ar…

City life for me. Though I’m not into certain cities. I need some open space. NYC is a bit claustrophobic for me. I have a love-hate relationship with LA haha. But I love the diversity and range of experiences available in city life. I love being ab…

@LSATcantwin said: Likely no where; unless one of my 7 waitlists decides to move lol I still believe! I have a gut feeling, you’re going to get in off one of these lists and it will be awesome. https://media1.giphy.com/media/11F0d3IVhQbreE/…

@PublicInterested said: Heading to the University of Texas at Austin! JUST decided. Hoping to hear back from them about a financial aid appeal, but I'm going either way. It was tough deciding between them and Northwestern (because o…

@LastLSAT said: Unless I get a miracle Yale, Chicago, or Duke acceptance with some aid it will be WUSTL for me! Hard to say no to a free JD. Truth. And they are a great school. Seriously loved my visit there. Eat some STL bbq for us! Co…

International students that are already able to practice laws in other countries but want to practice in the US typically have to pass an ABA accredited LLM program. You could likely also do the reverse, earn a JD here and a masters degree abroad.
-
I don't think this is a real option. Could be wrong. But, international law schools are going to teach you about the laws in other countries. The ABA has only accredited law schools in the US (and territories). Many law schools have study abroad pro…

Seconding @goingfor99th 's advice. Splitters have super unpredictable cycles so you should plan on applying very very broadly. T14, any additional T20s you'd be interested in, and a few safeties outside of the T20. Do you have any specific goals or…

In my completely unprofessional opinion, 170 would be an unlikely stretch but 165 might be possible. It took me from about March to December of last year to go from 155 diagnostic to 168 on test day. I didn't put my all into studying for a few month…

For posterity, this is the more or less final result of my cycle: 3.85 / 168 Accepted: UW Seattle U UIUC WUSTL UCLA Waitlisted: Northwestern Michigan Cornell USC Rejected: Berkeley Still pending: UCI If anyone is curious for more de…
