For anyone still waiting on Berkeley, someone on reddit said they called admissions and were told that they were planning to have all their decisions out by the end of this week. https://media.giphy.com/media/l2R0c7Xc0YVwAjTtS/giphy.gif

Yeah, echoing what @LSATcantwin said. This cycle has just been wacky. People have been getting WL'd and dinged left and right that would have been solid admits in the last couple years. I would guess as much as anything, applying late didn't help. H…

It's a crazy year, y'all. I feel like I saw somewhere K-JDs were having a particularly rough cycle, so it may be that for some of you guys with outstanding numbers. Who knows.

@khuber Awesome! I know, right? Maybe just because it's end of the cycle and adcom is super busy. But it took forever to hear anything! Hah.

I haven't gotten to sleep before 2am in the past week+. I'm a big ball of anxiety, y'all. This is rough. Information is slowly trickling in, but we're also getting closer to deposit dates... sigh. https://media.giphy.com/media/xT5LMz2DWrwmbfVBK0/gi…

Dude... as someone who attended a Christian college as well... that is some serious bullshit. Geez. Financial incentive for turning in a fellow student? Good call on withdrawing. Anyway... I think you should carefully read the C&F prompts, but…

I will say my one beef with GPA calculations. LSAC standardizes them but it doesn’t account for the fact that some schools allow A+ grades and others don’t. I think they should standardize that and have highest grade be an A. But that’s just my pers…

There’s also always summers and general work experience. Not sure but do hospitals or other places in healthcare law take on interns or law clerks? I would guess hands-on training would be just as important. I haven’t looked into it much, but I kno…

Law schools do like work experience, but a good GPA counts for more. If you need to not work in order to focus on school, that should be your priority. Worst case scenario would be taking a year or two after undergrad to work full time. Which honest…

I’m so glad you found a spark of motivation. Congrats on the improvement, that’s no easy task. This community is here if you ever need a pick-me-up!

From what I’ve seen, adcoms do slightly factor in things like major. However, rankings are based on numbers alone so if a school wants to keep GPA medians up, they have to focus on the number, not a major. It’s more like a soft factor. It may give y…

@PublicInterested Yes thanks, good clarification. I didn’t write that up well. Schools can require you to withdraw from other schools that have accepted you. They just can’t require you to withdraw from a school who hasn’t given you an offer yet (me…

@LastLSAT Awesome! It’s not a front runner for me at the moment, but I’m very open to it and really excited about ASW to see how I feel about it in person. And yes, already reached out! Have to fill out a form there and then email receipts afterward…

ASW roll call! Who is going out for the upcoming ASW? Should we have a 7sage meetup? I'm working on flights now and considering going to the Cards game on Saturday, anyone else interested?

Do you have any specific goals? Do you want to stay in California? Are you hoping for biglaw, PI, etc? Are you willing to take on much debt? Especially being local, USC and UCLA would make a lot of sense for you. And UCI is climbing the rankings ve…

Here's a blog post from Yale that we've been discussing around here that explains it. Per an LSAC rule, law schools aren't allowed to require you to (binding) commit or withdraw applications if you haven't heard from another school. Basically, if yo…
