Yes, welcome!! 7sage is an incredible resource, and this is such a wonderful community. I think you're going to see a lot of improvement with the course. And if you need any help, the folks around here are always willing to talk through any tough pa…

@Alex See my post above! That's specific for UCI, but I've seen similar policies on a few other schools' sites. So if you did the work for undergrad to exempt you for parental income, you might be able to re-use that same documentation.

@Alex To be clear, I think this only affects need-based aid directly from the schools. Federal loans are determined by the FAFSA folks and they don't require parent information for the loans. But if you want need-based aid from a school, that's wher…

@Alex I don't think it will be a problem with FAFSA, since they technically consider every graduate student independent. With law school, it seems to all depend on the individual school policies. It's the school's that require parent information, no…

Most schools will require you to provide parents financial info. Those requirements are separate from what FAFSA asks for. FAFSA considers (I believe) anyone in graduate school as financially independent but law schools don't function that way. A lo…

All good descriptions above. I will say that I was a legal assistant at an in-house department and it skews much more toward administrative work. It was mostly all transactional, so I also got to be very hands-on with our contracts and did some ligh…

Let me tell you, I am exhausted to my bones! Hahaha. I'm moving to a new apartment this weekend and finally will have a chance to breathe after that. No. More. Deadlines! @westcoastbestcoast said: Wow you have done a lot and still managed t…

No, people are still admitted later. It just means you may miss out on attending the ASDs. (I'm in the same boat unfortunately)

Ugh, so sorry. Everything is pointing to this cycle being a more competitive one. Applications are up like 10% from last year. Spivey seems to think that next year will be a bit easier though. Maybe consider ED Northwestern next year? Especially if…

I looked for a new job while studying. I also was a bridesmaid and planned a bridal shower, negotiated a new lease on my apartment, had jury duty, the flu, and apartment hunted while working on my applications. I literally sent in applications while…

This is how I bubble, but I never really did it any other way. It just makes sense to me to do it like this. It takes less time than bubbling after each question, but is a better check than waiting until after the entire section or something. It's l…

I did some searching because I've also been out of school quite a while, so asked my supervisor to write a letter. I knew he wouldn't be familiar with this process, and I found this to use as a reference: https://advising.utah.edu/preprofessional/_…

@Emily2122 said: Are you able to read the LOR once the recommender uploads it to LSAC or is it forever a mystery unless you ask to read it? I'm just really curious what to except when I have to do this. If you waive your right to see it (whi…

If you're getting within 30 seconds, then I consider that foolproofed and move on. The target times are not an exact science. That said, check out the Pacifico method that @BagelBiter linked to. It sounds like you could benefit from that.
-
I think I did for the solicited ones, but only if an actual person replied back. If it was just an automated system kind of thing (like Northwestern) then not necessary. But when I received an email from an admissions person with a code or something…
-
Congratulations!!! And agreed, 7sage is the best of the best.
-
@"Seeking Perfection" @calcal101 This makes sense and I think is a good point. It's almost sort of like a Why X/LOCI... expressing particular interest. I was thinking the same thing, most admissions offices seem to not want you to e-mail them unles…

@Emily2122 said: Would it be unethical or weird to ask your recommender to supply you with a copy so you can read it beforehand? I'm not applying until next year so I have no idea how the LOR process works. Are the letters just uploaded to LSA…

Your description of 1 PT on the weekend, BR, and then drill in between is exactly what I did and it worked really well. I think 1 per week is just right, because it will help you gauge progress and get you used to the endurance needed for the test. …

I totally understand those saying you should withdraw. I agree, but I also may do the same thing. I’m not sure yet if I’m going to go this year, I’m considering pushing back a year. But I may attend an ASW or two, particularly for schools I’m a litt…

Nothing really to add but, congratulations!!! I wanted to apply for that but missed the deadline. That's so awesome! Good luck!

Bumping this to double check - is it appropriate and/or expected to reply to acceptances? (... and I just got my first, to WUSTL, woooo!)

iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2.5 here and nope. Scrolling fine.

You’re still in the game, @LSATcantwin!! Woohoo! Send in a LOCI!

Most prompts phrase the questions along the line of: have you ever been charged with or convicted of a crime or any violation of the law. It sounds like that would clearly be a “no” here. Every school phrases the question a little differently, but n…

One thing to keep in mind is what you would be able to make and eat before the actual LSAT. These have all been great suggestion, just adding that element - you might not want to get too elaborate, so you can make sure to be able to replicate that o…

I could imagine it being brought up in the bar acceptance process, but not in a negative way. I'm not sure of all the prompts and such, but I could see them reviewing any legal situation you were involved in. But since you were the one suing, then I…
