@"Seeking Perfection" said: I only know how to use one and only have taken a pair of classes on it and used it for a few other projeccts. Nonetheless, I listed it under languages as: Python(programming language): Intermediate Competency T…

Sounds like you're in good shape considering the story of your personal statement. It'll be a good setup for your GPA addendum. And a GPA and LSAT addendum is not that bad. I would keep your addenda super brief and factual, only a few sentences e…

At least you didn't total misspell the name of an organization you worked for in your resume (something I did).

@jchamberlainf That was the best and most thorough answer I've ever read. This. Everything.

I'd say it's okay to list things that readers are unfamiliar with. If its labeled "programming languages", they'll get the gist of it. Besides, it makes you sound like a pro. Also, if you happen to be using your programming skills in your law care…

If you're applying for Fall 2018, then waiting to use a score from a February LSAT take before applying means that you apply very late in the season. Because law school is rolling admission, applying later makes it more challenging to get accepted a…

This is awesome. And incredibly impressive considering you were also in school and working. Looks like diligence is your secret ingredient.

@acsimon said: I have some of my graduate talks and commentaries on my resume. The only difficult thing is finding a balance between including that stuff and not running over two pages. If you're running over that, I perhaps would think about …

I'd recommend this pretty actionable guide to preparing for an interview: https://www.collegeessayguy.com/blog/preparing-for-college-interviews-2-of-2 It's partially for undergrads, but the advice is the same: 1. Build a message box, 2. Prepare spe…

Congrats! That's incredible! You must perform well under pressure--scoring so high above your practice tests. It was also game day at my school during the December test--totally messed with my vibe (but ended up scoring well). Nice job!
-
@everyone Thanks y'all! I'll letcha know! I'll still be touching base here as letters come in.

I know both schools have a pretty strong social justice/public interest thrust. If you happen to have that kind of experience, want to practice that kind of law, and show that well in your essays, they might see you as a good fit for them. Looking a…

Amazing! You got this! I believe you can hit that 170 level at least!

You've been one of the most helpful folks on this forum, @LSATcantwin ! I wouldn't haven't gotten the score I got without your help either. Congratulations on your score! Maybe see ya around in one of those UC schools. Merry holidays!

Congrats! That's amazing.

I imagine it's school-dependent. I think that, across the board, schools wouldn't require supplements (like "Why This School" essays, "public interest" essays, or essays like UCLA's "programmatic contribution" essay) if they were going to disregard…

@TheMikey said: @"nicolas.saw" said: This is not true. I would disregard this advice @HereisSara, because in January, schools review applications based on the confirmation time/date that they were submitted, even if no one was …

I haven't petitioned for a school to take a later test score, but here are my thoughts: The success of your petition will likely depend on having a really compelling reason to retake/take in February (you tried to take in December and something si…

@TheMikey said: Application stuff when it comes to movement should be slowing down soon before the holidays (per spivey's twitter). So I say just wait for your December score since there would be no point in submitting right now since the like…

I think it would be worth adding. Your readers will want to know the background of that element of your transcript.

Sounds like you're trying to figure out how to tease out the lessons and impact that this experience had on you. Because ultimately, while describing an experience you had is important, the school wants to know what you learned from it and how it af…
