Then you may be able to politely negotiate. How many offers have you received at this point? How many are contenders? Maybe also mention your enthusiasm for the 1L courses there and your inte…

But srsly does anyone know anything about the getting-off-the-waitlist process or know anyone who went through this process in the past?
I'd say your friends are really wrong.
Get the highest LSAT score you can and apply to your dream school directly. Don't aim to do any of this roundabout transfer stuff.
Thanks @"Leah M B"
@LSATisland Ya what questions were you asked? It's only 15 minutes so it's pretty short. I've been collecting a database of potential questions lol
Thanks all!
@lsatplaylist It's via video-call.
Idk what to make of it. I heard anecdotally that during the normal admissions process people who get interviews are very likely to be admitted - does anyone know of/have any data to support this?

Since you want to clerk, I would take some time to look at the clerkship numbers for each school. There seems to be a good correlation between US News ranking and clerkship rate, so you may want to seriously consider reapplying if clerking is your g…

Two followup questions for ya'll.
If I amended my title to read: "For those with T3 aspirations, is it 175+ or bust now?", would your answers change in any way?
What if I amended the title to read: "For t…
@westcoastbestcoast Honestly this cycle feels a lot more holistic. I know a lot of people with far better numbers than me getting denied left and right. I kinda have imposter syndrome right now based on where I've gotten in compared to them. I reall…
I've toured a bunch of law schools and the most consistent advice I've gotten on "how to prep for 1L year" is: "Don't."
Honestly just relax. Refresh your brain. Go travel - it may be the last chance you get to for a while. The past 22ish years of y…
