I can give you some general feedback. I'm out on my phone right now so PM me when you get a chance.

I always thought the first rule of writing was: WRITE IN ALL CAPS.

Definitely take a year or more and apply when you have the score you need. Getting some extra WE or other thing to put on your resume will definitely help you as well. There are plenty of us on here in our 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s that took much more …

I've seen them pop up before when they weren't previously listed. I'm not sure how LSAC populates those lists but it is possible that they might require the test centers to submit paperwork each time. I'd take the one 40 miles away and plan on getti…

It's "changing the way of drink" guys... clearly it would be worth reviving a post of any age...
-
I'd say withdraw Feb and set your sights on June or October. You need to give yourself enough time to really understand the concepts in play and also work on some better game day strategies that won't lead to similar situations again. You're very yo…

Based on the information you provided you should not be writing any addenda on these topics. You had a normal score progression and complaining about the test center without having formally complained to LSAC is not going to make you look better. …

Law school would likely be extra miserable for you. If you're insistent upon getting a JD I would go with a 3-year JD/MBA program to make sure you still have an MBA to lean on and get it all over with in the same amount of time as law school would t…

I always say a little common sense goes a long way when it comes to the study schedule.
-
Stick to the syllabus and move at whatever pace life allows you to... Don't get too wrapped up in the study schedule if it makes you anxious or just doesn't reflect your pace. Let the curriculum take you as long as it takes to get through without sa…

I think they said Touro sent it to like 17,000 people or something ridiculous like that... I do know only one of the people had actually applied and they weren't actually admitted yet.

@UsernameChange is correct and if you fail to list it in the app when it is required then it will not let you save that page until you enter your high school information.

Negotiations are primarily done over emails composed in a professional tone. And law school rivals are not UG sports rivals. The word rival is a bit misleading in this context as it is more about rankings and prestige as has been alluded to. Therefo…

Also depends on the school. That is primarily governed by a school's seat deposit deadlines. So you could theoretically get admitted in October and not have to commit until April. Obviously if you're applying now the window will be tighter. And then…

Best thing to do is check the applicants on LSN for this cycle to see how quickly things are turning around at each stage. It will at least give you a little more idea of the timeline.
-
But for some people biglaw is biglaw so as long as they get the salary they don't care about prestige and depending on their long term plans it wouldn't really matter as much about what firm it is as long as you can pay off your loans or make the ri…

It was my understanding that February tests don't get disclosed for ten years but I don't know where I read that.

@Berrygold said: Is a cancel and two scores equivalent to three scores in the eyes of most law schools? Or is one of those situations better than the other? Generally speaking there isn't much difference in those two scenarios, but the cancel coul…

@nye8870 said: Do 1L+ 1L +1L = JD? I like to bounce around I'm sure if you ended that charade at Summit you could at least still get them to pay you not to take the bar there.
-
It all depends on your goals. If you want biglaw then as you can see here: http://tippingthescales.com/2015/02/the-2015-go-to-law-schools/ UChi is putting over 60% in biglaw and there are ways to live fairly modestly in Chicago so you could pay thos…

@Micaela is correct. As with the rest of the difficulty ratings in the analytics, everything is based off of the results that 7Sagers get (or at least enter into the analytics). The more games you go through, the more you will encounter situations i…
-
When reapplying I fall in the camp of updating everything because doing anything less can come off as lazy. Of course if it's going to different schools the second time around then it doesn't really matter.

@cverdugo said: What would you guys recommend for someone who has 1 newer clean PT left, but is close to 170? I haven't decided if I want to re-take but I wonder if anyone has any idea of a game-plan to get to that next level with so much recent ma…
-
Yes it is normal. Just because you qualify doesn't mean you'll get one. It's just a recruiting email.

@DaveH162 said: and that will boost their statistics Since we're talking medians and not means, as long as they get one person with each score they need to stabilize numbers then they can take a lot more people inside those upper and lower limits …

@zotter14 said: a) attend a sub-par law school and attempt to transfer to a top 30 after 1L. b) retake the LSAT in December 2016, improve significantly, apply for 2017 admission. c) apply for a bunch of reach/safe schools, if I don't get into any…

@mimimimi said: just apply if you really want to go to a particular school! This. Even with all the caveats we've given none of them are actually hard and fast rules. In the end schools will always make room for the candidates they want.

You can sometimes find specific deans talking about that kind of stuff on TLS or you could hire a consultant to advise you or at least do a free consult. I can't imagine it would cost a lot to help you build or revise a school list around this issue…
-
Yes you can do this if you're talking about two different schools. You could possibly pull it off at the same school but it would require a bit more finesse you might say. You could even go so far as to accept admission, attend 1L at a school, give …
