Some good comments already here. Also confirming that a second bachelor's or master's would not affect your GPA at all. So, you should only do those if you want to and think it would be helpful for your career. Not for GPA reasons. You're going to …

I think there are a few things to diagnose here. It's good that you recognize at least part of this is anxiety. Keep up the meditation. What environment do you do your PTs in? Are you doing them at home? In a library? Coffeeshop? Maybe it would be g…

I think applying early, but like the minute your transcript is available, send it to LSAC and email every school you applied to letting them know about your grade improvement.

I know I should be grateful I missed the Northwestern waitlist wave that just went out, but so irritating to still not hear from them. Still just have Northwestern and UCI outstanding. Spent the last several days visiting WUSTL and UCLA. I think it…

It’s also possible to ask for an extension on the deposit deadline (I just received one myself from a school with an early deposit date). I applied to UCI at the end of February and have not heard from them either. FYI, USC seems to be not very ope…

This is a very important topic, it’s always good to talk about these things. I think particularly for anyone who has issues in these areas, it’s important to make a game plan. Most schools have counselors available for free (or very low cost) to st…

@EvetteCee I was WL’d in early March. :-/ And another one for the stack, WL at Michigan. Sigh. The email was so nice! I wish they didn’t make me like them so much. Now down to just Northwestern and UCI left. I think I’m pretty sold on waiting anoth…

Ugh, so frustrating. Totally get it. We've all been there. So sorry! But I'm sure you'll end up with a good option. Keep your chin up!

Hi there! Yes, you have to submit a transcript for any college level courses you took up until you received your (first) bachelor’s degree. That includes every university, and any community/junior colleges you have college credit from.

I've heard that a lot of students do intern/externships with government or non-profits in 1L summer. And yes, typically those are all unpaid. I have seen anecdotally people who hustle and are able to getting positions at firms during 1L, but that is…

Tough to say since you don't know the financial situation at Columbia, but I think Michigan sounds like a better fit for your goals. They have a great program and reputation for PI. The cost of living is also so much cheaper you will end up with sig…

I don't have any experience applying or know much about the process, but I know that since a somewhat recent lawsuit, LSAC was required to make the process a bit easier and also they can no longer identify students as having had accommodations. So, …

I think they would likely frown on like, holding it way up in front of you. But tilting it up a bit is probably ok. If you do any marking on the passages, then it probably wouldn't be a good idea. You'd waste time moving it back and forth. I don't t…

7sage was the key for a 13 point increase on my LSAT, which means tons more scholarship money and acceptance to better schools than I ever would have had on my own. 1000% recommend 7sage. It's also very cost efficient. If money is an issue, even jus…

Yeah, I second what @"Seeking Perfection" said. Also Davis being so close to Sacramento gives you a lot of options for government work. And if you have no desire to work in biglaw, I would highly advise to not take out nearly $200k at pretty much an…

Omg you guys, that is bananas. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I guess all my anxiety about waiting on decisions has translated into obsessively posting here lol. Love my 7sage fam.

To each their own, I just can’t imagine planning my retirement when I was 22 haha. You have a dream i guess though so, good for you. I have a relative who is not 40 yet and know another person who is mid-40s and both are semi-retired. Both are entr…

You’ve been getting some great advice here. @calcal101 really nailed it. Undergrad is such an incredible time where you will learn so much. Don’t be too focused on law school right now. Figure out what is the best fit for you personally. Don’t go to…

Just got the ding from Berkeley, haha. So definitely no Bay Area move for me. Good luck to those still waiting to hear!

Welp, not sure if all decisions are out yet, but finally got that official Berkeley ding! Narrowing down the options. hah.

@acsimon Yeah if you were applying right at the deadlines (which is what most of mine were too) I would say that’s what your biggest problem was. From looking at LSN, Berkeley rejects or WLs almost everyone that applies past the very very beginning …

Holla! Yes, music major here! Yay I love music people. I’ve only heard back from about half of my schools and the ones I haven’t heard back from yet are the higher ranked ones. So it’s a little tough to say definitively whether I’m having a good c…
