It depends on several factors, such as your GPA in comparison to the median/ 75th percentile of the school(s) you're applying to, same with your LSAT, the amount of applicants next year, etc. Either way, it is advised you apply earlier in the cycle…

BUMP because I'm starting to think of mine for next cycle

If there is a minimum GPA contingent, be wary! What percentage of the class maintains that GPA or above it? I highly recommend giving this article a read: https://abovethelaw.com/2011/05/are-law-school-merit-scholarships-a-big-racket/ Hope this …

Fellow Canadian here UBC's medians are 166 and an 83% average, so 3.75(ish)! Generally, UBC uses an index score, so if either your GPA or LSAT is exceptionally high, the other can be pretty subpar and you can still get offered admission. Check o…

I know you said you're aiming for Harvard and not Yale specifically, but this article on Yale's admission blog may convince you that an academic LOR may be a necessity rather than just a strong suggestion: https://law.yale.edu/admissions/jd-admiss…

If it helps, I received my December score maybe 2 minutes or so after it appeared on LSAC's website! So perhaps you're better off netflixing or whatnot as opposed to continuously hitting refresh

Have you ever had shakshuka?? https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1014721-shakshuka-with-feta It is really good, cheap and healthy (really easy to make)! For dinner I eat it with some bread to dip in, and it actually tastes even better the next da…

Pardon my ignorance, but what is ASW?

HIIII! Thank you all for your questions, they're awesome I asked him a lot about Canada vs. US because I am Canadian and debating if to go to the US for law school or certain Canadian schools! He was very nice and helpful! He went to a Canadian …

Do you think they're sending mass waitlists to buy them time cause too many applicants?? ROOTING FOR YOU BOTH
-
I AM NOT AN EXPERT, but from what I was told, your personal statement should be about something you did / achieved relatively recently. I think that law schools want to see what you have done throughout your undergrad and not just hear about your hi…

From what I (briefly) saw on LSN, it appears that Cornell is rejecting (or the occasional waitlisting) everyone with a 172+ LSAT this cycle, even with GPAs of 3.75+. So my guessing is Yield protection

You are far from the only person who has taken it multiple times. The ABA only requires schools to report the highest score, so MOST schools will only really pay attention to your highest. However, some schools will take average, or ask for an adden…

I'm happy to look yours over

I'm really interested in the joint JD/MA at Georgetown, and they take LSAT in lieu of GRE
-
NYU or Georgetown for their combined JD/MA in security studies would be UNREAAALL
-
This is very insightful, thank you!
-
Also, the test is now in Nov. instead of Dec. so you can take in Sept and retake in Nov. if need be, and still apply before Christmas
-
THEY RESPONDED TO THE TWEET SAYING JULY WILL BE UNDISCLOSED !!
-
It depends on the school! USC has changed for me and says "under review" but many others do not!
-
I'm still interested
-
@"Alex Divine" awesome, thank you!! I've seen them mentioned a bunch on other posts and was trying to figure it out
-
Pardon my ignorance, but what are "TLS forums"??
-
YES I'd love to pm me!!!
-
I'm on my fourth year of undergrad, so I'll be graduating this May (with an improved GPA, thankfully!) Thank you very much for your feedback!
-
Did you end up applying ED to Penn?? AND THAT'S AMAZING, CONGRATS!!!
-
Just commenting to bring this post back to relevance
-
Also, I'm not 100% sure, but perhaps applying binding early admission may also help?? (if scholarships aren't a must)
-
So I took the Sept. test and scored 5 points higher than the latest 3 PTs I took before it.... so make sure to be calm and eat properly the day of the test
