@"Seeking Perfection" thank you! I feel better about that now. It's tough seeing so many people have really good WE and I'm over here with not much to speak of. That website is great too! Slightly addicting haha
-
This is kind of a sidebar but related question in my eyes. At what level in the T-14 do softs start playing a larger factor, especially professional work experience? I graduated in Dec 2016 and had intentions of taking the LSAT in 2017 but due to f…

Word. Some of their articles are better than others, but ATL rankings are gold. Carry much more weight for me personally than US News. They also have interesting school profiles but I don't think they have been updated in a while.

@"gerth.brooks" said: That website feels like buzzfeed but with legal content. Clickbait hell It is pretty much. Every once in a while they drop a good article but not often. The one thing I do like is their law school rankings. They weight…

This is a great post. I'm struggling tremendously with time and its night and day between timed and untimed sections. Seemed like I lose my reading and comprehension abilities randomly and therefore get into jams. Definitely going to try the meditat…

Yes I don't think rank matters as much in your case. Not familiar with Minnesota so I'll leave it at that haha. Good Luck!
-
@Aspiring1L Depends on what someone's career goal is though. If big law, then statistically speaking, Hofstra over Harvard would not be a good idea. I understand your point on debt and I'm right there but I also know that the job statistics are very…

Nothing big that gets my attention. Sucks UT dropped (sighs) but they still #1 in Texas so no worries for me haha.
-
I would respectfully disagree with your assessment. There are of a lot of variables you have to consider, along with job statistics and how they affect what you want to do as a lawyer. You are correct in that once you land a job its on you to prove…
-
Yes you are correct. /N->T /T->N The "if" signals a sufficient condition and the must signals a necessary condition. Your application of satisfying N in the contrapositive example is spot on too. By satisfying the necessary condition, you m…

UVA by far is the better school (obvious I know haha). The questions you have to answer for yourself are how debt adverse are you and what kind of legal career path are planning on taking. If Big Law, then the debt may be justifiable. If a lower pay…

@LastLSAT Definitely agree on the ties issue. I'm living in TX now (I graduated from A&M and have strong family ties) but I'm heavily considering going back to Cincy which like you said is heavily insular. Haven't seen a ton of WUSTL recruiting …
-
@LastLSAT Thank you for the great response! You answered a lot there for me. I do have Midwestern roots (grew up half my life in Cincinnati) so I definitely was curious about WUSTL's reach in the region along with its national reach. I appreciate th…

Love this post so far. Question about WUSTL though. Where do most of the graduates land jobs? Midwest? NY? CA? It seems spread out from what I can tell. I'm not super familiar with WUSTL but it seems like a very intriguing option.

I believe Baylor Law School does. Anyone on the quarter system usually does spring admit.

@FixedDice said: Admission deans from Stanford, Duke, and Cornell like to mention an applicant who, despite having an otherwise perfect application, decided to draw a picture on his or her writing response sheet; rejected without further consi…

Looks like it has been updated to include all the rest of the ranked schools! Wahooo!!!
-
Thank you notes will always be appreciated. It will make you unique compared to the majority of others who forget/don't think its necessary to send one.

Just signed up this morning!

I guess UT's stint in the T-14 was a one year wonder lol
-
This is a miscellaneous game which means it has no normal procedure. Typically these take longer than your average game. Most times you just have to "play along" (rule driven game). I don't have the rules in front of me but I'm pretty sure that this…
-
Agree with what @Eric25 and @LSATcantwin said. What was a game changer for me was studying the list of the most common flaws and then going around the internet and seeing different ways they were used. An example was I would go onto YouTube and look…

If you don't mind the late nights, being a waiter is pretty good money (depending on restaurant type and some other variables). It sucks going home late but if you can snag a job at a place that only does dinner like I have, you can study in the mor…
-
Unless the job provides you financial security you can't achieve anywhere else, then I wouldn't hesitate switching jobs if it is becoming a major issue in your life. At some point it will start to really affect your LSAT studies which will derail yo…

@"Seeking Perfection" Thank you for the amazing post! A ton of information packed in there! Thanks for the intro to all of this. While I'm not in that whole process yet, I definitely will be soon. I appreciate the help! And good luck on the your law…
-
3x a week is a lot though and sounds like a good recipe for burnout, especially since you said you work full time. From the advice I've been given....quality over quantity. You need to give yourself plenty of time to BR and then drill your weaknesse…
-
@"Seeking Perfection" WUSTL can really push the needle that much? Kind of a general question but on average, lets take the example you used UT vs. WUSTL, how much can one reasonably push their scholarship up through negotiations?
-
@"Seeking Perfection" Thanks for the article! Very good read! The 1/3 number also is helpful as well. Texas is at the top of my list and I feel confident about getting to their LSAT median and maybe slightly above by this summer...its my GPA that ma…

@westcoastbestcoast @"Seeking Perfection" Thanks for the responses! I agree on the leverage part of ED. @"Seeking Perfection" what is considered long shot in your opinion? And does ED really make a difference to a committee if you are indeed a long …

I believe later this spring. They take forever to release them and the schools seem to release them individually (please correct me if I'm wrong haha).
