Yes and no. T-14 will open the big law door/equally lucrative door wider, but depending on your goals/market you want to work in it may not be necessary. My personal example is the possibility of me moving back to Cincinnati. I lived there for most…

@tringo335 For me, a lot of the schools I'm looking at are in TX: University of Texas, SMU, University of Houston (graduated from Texas A&M and my folks are here). Out of state wise, looking at UVA (dream/reach school), Georgetown, Ohio State an…

@tringo335 said: Aww man Georgetown wasn't there :-( I hope they are there next year I'm interested in meeting them. And yea I saw HYS wasn't there lol. Harvard has pretty good online webinars so I usually attend those. I know there is a D.C…
-
@tringo335 Yes definitely worth the drive, especially since we are all applying next year. I don't know if they'll do Houston again (maybe they rotate to Dallas) but I feel like there is a good chance one of the 2 cities will be used since they are…

Thank you @"Heart Shaped Box", that makes a lot of sense to me. I feel like I have been getting caught up in context a lot and it throws me off enough to get the question wrong. I appreciate the response!
-
I see your point on the possible NA/SA answer choice. That is where I could see an invalid/incomplete argument and needing a bridge.
-
Ah ok. Do you recommend starting with PT 30 (or is it 35) since that would be the first on outside the CC?
-
Hey @"Alex Divine" I wanted to clarify something. When you said -3 per section, what did you mean by section? LR bundle Test 1-9, 10-19, 20-29? The individual, 5 questions for each type?
-
@tringo335 Will do!
-
Good post! I am planning to go to the Forum in Houston and didn't know such high valued contacts are there. In the same position application wise (next cycle) but will probably still go just for kicks.
-
Howdy! I am in your same spot and have heard from many people from here and other places that this is not the case. The one thing that matters is what you are doing with your time off and how far away from graduation you will be. If you are sitting…
-
Yes. The only ones I haven't seen are the hard ones that came with the plus upgrade.
-
When you say LR bundles, do you mean the problem sets after the according section in the CC or the bundles at the end of the CC?
-
@"Alex Divine" Thanks! Well I have had a lot of "Life gets in the way" moments and I'm coming off a couple of months hiatus. I've been fool proofing LG and am trying to add in LR while I'm at it. Mainly right now I am trying to just have a better u…

http://wisconsin.lawschoolnumbers.com/stats/1718 Here's a link to the mylawschoolnumbers.com numbers for Wisconsin. You will need to change the cycle to 2016-2107 as they have moved to the current cycle but it gives you a nice plotted chart for who…
-
I agree with @"Alex Divine" on UT. They have a monopoly down here in Texas. If you do well in school, you have a very good shot at big law in Texas. They have a decent reach nationally, but not like many of the other T-14 schools. They do place a de…
-
Maybe UVA but that is my dream/reach school. Even then it would be hard to justify a massive six-figure debt, though the employment numbers do help. This is a great question @TheMikey because this is maybe the most important thing to ask yourself t…
-
I am literally in the same spot. You're not alone in this. @tringo335 is exactly right when she said that you are on your own journey. One of my biggest obstacles was accepting that my timeline is different than everyone else's, even though so many …
-
http://mylsn.info/ is the best website. hourumd.com bases their numbers off of mylsn but they haven't updated since 2009. Mylsn has the latest numbers. When you go there, hit the Pre-Law tab and click admissions search and it will take you to the d…
-
Thanks @poohbear I unfortunately haven't made my LSAC account yet haha. But at least now I can access that at some point. Extremely curious about these numbers.
-
So I am going to jump in here. I know LSAC has a school report they have on each institution which includes GPA and LSAT averages. Is there a way to obtain these numbers? I tried looking up mean GPA's but I got a ton different numbers; I wasn't sur…
-
For me I have a passion for the Constitution and business (not sure entirely where I'll end up). Being able to make a true impact in the community, across the country or in a major company is something I've always wanted to be able to do and I feel …
-
That is what I had to do too. I tried to study for the LSAT during undergrad and it just didn't jive with school and work. Nothing to be ashamed of. Once you're out of school, you can put the majority of your energy towards the LSAT without it affec…
-
Anytime! I guess you could try to serve while in school, but as we servers know, scheduling depends heavily on the restaurant bosses and how much commitment they need from you. Some don't care if you work weekends only and some do. Happy to help!
-
I've thought about this myself. I waited tables (still do) throughout undergrad. Besides pushing for scholarships, I plan to have a ton of money saved up (I pay all of my bills except cell) heading into 1L. I also plan to upgrade my car so that I ca…
-
Yes, what @"Alex Divine" said. I can't emphasize enough about how clean copies help. When I first tried BR's a year ago, I did not use a clean copy and my BR score was pretty much the same as my timed score. Going through the questions in BR, I thou…
-
Maybe a bit late since I'll be working till 4ish but I will definitely still join!
-
Yup, both of those sites are amazing! Just be ready to lose at least an hour of your day playing with the numbers on there! Haha
-
@fmihalic2 I caught that example. I'm familiar with many of the flaw types, but as you said due to the subtle nature of them it is hard to pick up sometimes, especially under timed conditions. I'm getting better but its a process as you probably kno…

@"Cant Get Right" Couldn't agree more.
