Actually your work experience sounds perfect for a patent lawyer. It is standard that they have some kind of STEM background first. That said, I don’t know the salaries for patent lawyers but I would guess that they are pretty high, especially if yo…

They will definitely let you know if you are not accepted. The status checkers vary by school though, it may or may not be updated. But the school will definitely let you know either by email or snail mail. (And don’t worry! 1 month is extremely typ…

I kinda forgot about those Suits episodes. (But Donna is my queen.) https://media2.giphy.com/media/OhXUgALTuUZkQ/giphy.gif?cid=4bf119fc5c6889a04e30384859c328ed

I think if the policy is unclear or schools don't ask, I would call admissions and ask them. They should be able to give you a quick yes or no based on your circumstances. Just tell them something like, "I improved my score by about 6 points in each…

Aww I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! You deserve this. You put in the work and are reaping the rewards... I love it! And this is such a wonderful write up of what worked for you and advice for others on the same journey. Thank you for sharing with the commun…

1) It has no effect whatsoever on your applications as it stands right now. Schools won't care much about a lower score, and certainly not a score that's only 1 point lower. So rest assured, you have done no damage! 2) That said, as you know - it o…

YAAASSSS! So stoked for you, man!! Congratulations!! https://media.giphy.com/media/l0MYt5jPR6QX5pnqM/giphy.gif

As others have said, you obviously have some awesome choices in front of you. I think there's not quite enough info here for me to say what I would do in your shoes. At least to me, cost of attendance is a huge variable, as well as what your career …

No, that is definitely not allowed. But, it's good you asked before going ahead with it. cc: @akistotle @studentservice

@LSAT_Wrecker Being an older millennial, we had sort of an in-between version of typing lessons. I vaguely remember some sort of typing lesson that was not on an actual type writer but I feel like they were some sort of portable keyboard things, lik…

I think you need to wait until all your offers are in before you jump to conclusions. But given the choice you presented here, I think I’d go with Denver. Usually I think following the money is the best choice, but Denver is a significantly higher r…

If you have started a new job, it would be appropriate to send them an updated resume. However, if you just wanted to send a LOCI, then no - save that for in case you were to get waitlisted. Generally, schools don't want communication before their d…

Wow, thank you 7sage! I'm forever impressed by the generosity of you folks. And on a personal note, it could not have come at a better time, as my sweet dog spent last night in the hospital. So, this gift will come in very handy as I'm paying off t…

I generally looked around on the websites to see how they reference it themselves. Most schools use things like Berkeley Law, Northwestern Law, UCLA Law and I used those versions when necessary.
-
I have personally done a mix. A lot of schools directly address this on either their website or in the application instructions. I have seen both “we require 2, but is advised to send as many as you have up to 4” as well as “only 2 are required and …

Some schools will ask for an addendum if you have multiple scores (I think it varies, but I seem to recall one school that asked for an addendum if you took it more than twice). Good advice from @"Better every day" - you should look around on the we…

@Amrina96k Really, either is fine. Schools really do only consider your highest score, with the slight caveat that the top 3 schools can be a little pickier. So if your main goal is HYS, then cancel. Otherwise, you are truly fine no matter what.

@KarateMaster said: This is a great thread. I will def contribute when I start applying! @"Leah M B" thank you for your helpful input. Just out of curiosity, looks like you got great offers from top schools last year. Why are you reapplying…
-
No, schools really don't care if you have 1 cancel on your record. They know stuff happens... test center distractions, being sick the day of the test, etc. It only looks bad if you have multiple cancellations - then they would want a short addendum…

@Nov2018Taker I'm definitely no expert in that area haha. I think that it would likely be better for WL than for scholarship negotiations. Once deposit deadlines are passed, you do lose any real leverage. I have heard of people getting more scholars…

@KarateMaster said: @"Leah M B" Dear you don’t know how much your advice has helped me! I sat through the test and did my best. Bringing DayQuil and zicam definitely helped me get through it. It was a hard test but I think I did ok, especi…

Bumping for today's test takers!

Checking in! Did you shake off the cold at all? How'd you feel about the test? Hope it went well!

@lsatplaylist said: Would a person still have to pay the $15 if they complete it at the test center on test day? I don't think that is an option. It will now be something you do at home, just typing up a Word doc and submitting it, basically…
-
Just print it out and take it as-is. You have to sign it at the test center, in front of the people who check you in. Nothing else is needed on it.

Step away from the LSAT studying! Seriously, don't do it. Even when you're not sick, it's better to take the day before the test off. You won't forget anything in 1 day. You need to rest ASAP. Spend all day in bed if you can. Sleep or just rest as m…

@kpj744___ I see it more as a sneaky way of raising the LSAT cost. The test is the same fee ($190, which is bonkers), but any time you do the writing section, you have to pay $15. You only have to do it once though. And it sounds like if you already…

@AudaciousRed said: When I signed up for July, there was no mention or add on for a writing portion. I wonder if this just means each additional attempt will cost 15? Say, you have an old written one you want to replace. $15 and you could. …
