@"samantha.ashley92" said: The top 75% doesn't seem like the same thing as above the 25th percentile. Are you sure that's what they meant? It sounds like they want you to be in the 75th percentile. Haha quite possible I read it wrong! My bra…

When I did the majority of the CC I only had the Starter package, so there was only 1 problem set for each section. I did them as I went in the CC. But I could totally see that being a lot of work. I think I might personally gauge it on how you feel…

I would really only say 2 PTs max, but ideally just 1. All that taking full PTs really does is help you get used to the timing of the test, build stamina, and gauge your progress. BRing them helps learning, but that can also be done in individual ti…

You guys make good points. As I mentioned, highly unlikely I'm attending that school and would negotiate the conditions away before committing, if I did. But was curious basically, are there any stipulations that maybe aren't as egregious as others?…
-
Well, I'm definitely not a T14 or bust type. Often, I think regional schools are a good fit for someone who wants to stay in the area. There are some numbers that would really worry me about Santa Clara though. First being, 44.7% of graduates employ…

You can always plead your case and say something like, this is my top choice of schools (though I wouldn't mention not applying elsewhere) and I would love to commit, but have to take finances into consideration. As I'm financing my education primar…

November LSAT should be ok. You can also submit applications before your LSAT score is posted - that's what many people do that take the December LSAT. I took the December LSAT but didn't get apps in until end of January to mid-February and got at …

I really want Michigan and Berkeley to just put me out of my misery. Don’t they know that it’s rude to ghost people? Have the courage to reject me to my face already!
-
@"Paul Caint" Yeah, I think something like that would be great!

Not the most scenic view, this looks out toward the commercial fishing docks, haha. But the cherry trees are just about to start blooming and it actually broke 70 on Monday. Spring has arrived!

@westcoastbestcoast Ack, gorgeous! View out my office window in the pacific NW right now. https://i.imgur.com/7LDLeGa.jpg

Still waiting on 6 schools here. Sigh. And of course, it's 6 of the ones I was most interested in attending. At least a few are keeping me on my toes... I finally got accepted to the one that had the weird LSAC miscommunication. But they just sent …

@jkatz1488 said: So, I guess the significance of T14 is really simple huh? Relatively swift financial freedom and limitless potential for your career. This would be much less likely as you leave that circle. I assume that the hi…

Yeah its like a recruiting gimmick - sort of like a stepped up version of getting a fee waiver. I got the same and is part of the reason I applied. It works! Haha. Also the interview was super low key and nice. Just a friendly convo about your goals…
-
@BrianSeo I'm definitely not saying that! Although it is true that many people feel that way. T14 gives you a much better shot at Biglaw, which is high paying. It also gives you a boost in having a degree that is well-regarded in pretty much any r…

@"surfy surf" Yeah, June is disclosed but July is non-disclosed. But daaaamn, according to LSAC's site now, January, March and June next year are all non-disclosed. It's getting harder to find disclosed times! Yikes. June 2018 July 2018 not di…

The history of it is that the T14 have switched around order but consistently been the same 14 schools for a very long time (always? I don't know how long haha). Last year though, Georgetown fell out and UT moved into 14. So, folks have tended towar…

Man, that Dean Chemerinsky effect in full swing haha! Nicely done, UCI!! And Berkeley, wow!

@westcoastbestcoast said: I'm anxious tooo, especially about how my housing is going to work out. When is everyone going to go apartment shopping around their law school? Do you know where you’re going yet? How’s your cycle going?
-
I’m still waiting to hear from them (and expecting a likely WL) but I have felt continually more drawn to Michigan the more I learn about it. Thanks for sharing the housing research! Do you know where you want to end up after law school? Are you wan…

It’s not one of my top schools, but I know it is a great school and I have a very generous scholarship offer there, so I’m keeping it in the running. I’m thinking I’ll go to ASW to get a better feel for it. Also a good chance I might need to push ba…

Thank you all so much. It’s so nice to have folks to celebrate with. I’m crossing my fingers now on the $$$ portion... because that will really decide if I can actually go haha. But step 1 is acceptance and I will take it! Also: @westcoastbes…

... and then WL at USC same day, to bring me back to earth haha. Let my story be a warning about applying late! Really glad to have the UCLA acceptance to offset the sting. But thank you all!
-
No debt is tempting. But you want to make sure it will get you where you want to go. There is a low-ranked local school here that I applied to but the biggest reason I likely won't go is the scholarship money. (They don't really give full rides, and…

I think if I were you, I might try studying and see where you're at. Also important question, did you feel like you were still improving when you took the test or had you plateau'd? That might help decide. I think you might be able to tell if you th…

Just once (with 2 prior withdrawals, hah)
