It looks exactly the way that 7sage lays it out in their printable versions. The stimulus and one question on the left page, the rest of the questions on the second page. Roughly the bottom half of the sheet of paper is blank on both left and right…

The only time it really ever makes sense to spend $150k on a school would be, IMO, a T6 and you are 1000% biglaw or bust, no other options. Meaning, you need extremely good chances of getting biglaw, and a dedication to doing so. NDLS may have a bi…

I wrote a very polite email saying how excited I am to possibly attend, but finances are a significant consideration for me. I have this other offer (attached copy of WUSTL offer) and am wondering if there was any possibility of increasing my schola…

@jjoushlyn said: Thanks so much everyone! I guess I'm a bit naïve still. lol I thought this would throw off my plan to have kids, marriage, financial stability, etc. so I was panicking. I really appreciate the advice. Well, I'm 34 and don't …

If a school's application says to include every job you have ever held in the app, then you definitely need to follow the instructions and list them. However, that does not mean you have to include them on your resume. I'm 34 years old and boy oh bo…

Hi 👋🏻 I'm 34 years old and here to tell you: you have so. much. time. Seriously. Do I wish I had gone to law school in my twenties? Yes, sometimes I do. But, I have had an interesting and fulfilling career and learned a lot of life lessons that wi…

Yes, I think it's also a bit early to really dive into negotiations. Probably February and into March is the hot season as the classes begin to really shape up. Last year (I'm a re-applicant this year), I was able to negotiate UCLA's offer up just …

@MissChanandler said: I’ve heard good things about the book Getting to Maybe (it’s about how to do well on law school exams) Seconded on this - I plan on reading it as law school gets closer. It also was recommended by UCLA when I visited th…

First, congrats!! Second, every school is different. Some tell you in your initial acceptance letter, some have a separate application that you fill out after you are accepted. Usually there's information included in the acceptance materials (next …

I'll let you know at the end of this cycle 😂. I'm re-applying this year. I got mostly wait lists last year, but did withdraw from several schools that accepted me and I plan to apply to again. I only had a conversation specifically with the dean of…

Thank you 7sage!! 💜💜💜

@LSAT_Wrecker said: Pithy gifs aside, as an applicant looking at both southern California and a mid-west market (St. Louis), how does one justify the huge premium California schools charge when looking at their outcomes (lower bar passage rate…

Well, one important factor is that not that many law schools accept the GRE. Of your local schools, only U of Arizona accepts it. ASU does not. About half of the T14 takes it currently. Of course those things could change, but as of right now, optio…

Honestly, I don’t know how much anyone can really give good advice on this since it’s all new. LSAC has said they’re going to release a tool (I think in January?) to help students familiarize themselves with the digital format. But until that happen…

Absolutely there are things you can do. I’d start by taking a break from PTs. You need to focus on drilling. If you haven’t done them already, I’d start by going back to the LR practice sets in the curriculum and work on them untimed. If you’ve alr…

It might be as easy as just sending admissions an email with the information you want to add to your school list. My mailing address changed during the application process so I had to email a few schools my new info and they updated their files. Cou…
-
I’d call each admission office and ask them the best way to handle it. They might each have their own process. Some might even just say it’s ok since it’s included on your transcripts and resumes.

The Cornell one is indeed different than the typical interview. That said, they ask some questions that can't really be studied for. It's always a good idea to be prepared for the standard questions that any school would ask (why Cornell, why law, e…

@studentservice @akistotle One of them should be able to help you out!

No, going to Fordham is not a death sentence. It really just depends on what your goals are. The T14 are considered more "portable" degrees - their level of prestige and recognition for strong academics means that your education is respected in many…

Tests in the 70s and 80s are very similar. I think making a strategy for these is just probably overthinking it. Just prepare for the more recent tests as usual, and you'll be fine. Trying to game it probably just takes more effort than it's worth.

Thanks @"David.Busis" and @"selene.steelman"! I'm still working on my PS unfortunately, so it's not quite ready to go yet. I'm going to work on that and see if I really can get this one out by the 31st, haha. Might be pushing it. But thank you so mu…

I think the first week or so of January isn't too bad, but later than that is when it starts going downhill. I don't think today vs. like the 31st through the 2nd or so is much different though.

This sounds like a fantastic service. Understanding that we shouldn't need to submit within 24 hours, how much of a window do you have to review in the next couple of weeks? Trying to get an app out by the 31st and still need to do some work on my P…

Great summary above. I would say the majority are via e-mail, but it is different for every school. I would add, I don't think acceptances are ever snail mail only, but some waitlists and dings are.

E-mail studentservice @ 7sage.com (without the spaces) and they will help you out!

Thank you guys for your offers! You're the best.

Yeah agreed with the others. It’s more so they can target you with what you are interested in. At WashU’s admitted student weekend (which was super well done), they sent everyone individualized schedules. I figured out later that they had tailored i…
