@avoro002 Do not beat yourself up. A 17 point jump is amazing. So is your GPA. So are your softs. Someone is going to bite on your application, though I do not know who that will be. Buffalo is a great town, my mom's from up there and I love vi…

Agree with @"Law and Yoda" Do not force a Why X statement (especially at Wash U, they specifically addressed bad Why X statements in a info session I attended). However, in my case, I am only applying to schools specifically because I like somethin…
-
That is a great question, and probably you need a professional to answer. You could submit this question anonymously from a junk email and see what they say. You could email the schools themselves or a similarly ranked school you are not intereste…
-
I apologize if I made that whole situation seem really grim. I do not think it necessarily is, just that you are going to have to tread these questions very carefully.
-
That is a good question. I think this is a question for a professional. I have a few thoughts on this. 1. Quitting another academic program before you finish absolutely does not look good. 2. They may have questions about why you are applying …
-
I want to add this. If a 165 is way over your current average and you do not expect to improve than hold pat. If not, nothing wrong with another take because of the reasons mentioned above.

@TimeIsMoney First of all, I just want to say congrats. There is nothing wrong with an early cycle wait list. You weren't rejected which means they are interested. In concurrence with what @canihazJD said, I would register for the January LSAT if…
-
@juniorsmith95 That really sucks, I do not want to minimize that at all. With that said though, look, you made a silly mistake that happens to us all from time to time. It does not mean that you suddenly suck at the LSAT. You had some test day ne…
-
I would love to but I can't seem to focus enough through the stress to even finish my apps. Studying for the LSAT was so much easier.

@"LOWERCASE EVERYTHING" I think the problem with Northwestern versus UCLA is that UCLA is a full ride. Northwestern is only 40k a year, which still leaves a sizeable debt. I think @daphne06 was interested in the pros of full ride at UCLA (which is…
-
I would say that a full ride at Berkeley is far better than sticker or near sticker at Harvard unless your career goals are something like being a federal judge or becoming a prominent researcher and professor. That said, the network at Harvard is…

@martinxi679 I do not think that your diversity statement has to talk about why you want to pursue law. If it does impact that that great, but don't force it. I would go over the admissions curriculum to learn more.

@reneebttrsn Here is the link to the predictor I mentioned. https://classic.7sage.com/predictor/
-
The bad news. With a 152 you have effectively no chance at Harvard. On top of that, while your 3.81 is incredible and you should be very proud of it, that is a below average GPA at Harvard. The good news, that LSAT score can be improved. Retake …

It looks like their GPA medians are 25th percentile 3.78 and 50th 3.88. I will assume your GPA is between those, but if it is right around 3.88 or above that is important as well. Also, I meant to post this earlier, 7sage has a admit predictor you…
-
@reneebttrsn To answer this at all we will need more information. Specifically what your LSAT was and secondly when you want to apply. Also, I assume your GPA was around a 3.8, but if it was a 3.89 that is a huge difference. If you want to apply …

I have heard that there are. I kind of wish I'd tried honestly. Good luck. It's ridiculous that from Summer till a few weeks from now there have been 3 domestic tests to one international.
-
I had a PT like that a while back. They stuffed a ridiculous number of 4/5 star questions in one section, and put almost all of them in the last 10. Take a rest and come back tomorrow, you've got this.
-
@An_Skywalker This so hard. So frustrated that between mid summer and 2021 there was one international administration we could register for overseas while those stateside had 3. Why is this still a thing?
-
It is now October 29th, I would say definitely email her a reminder today if it is not done by lunchtime. @emmorens
-
@ndilmagh I agree with @Martianman Take November first, then decide on January.

@martinxi679 ABSOLUTELY write a diversity statement. While oftentimes in other contexts diversity is seen as or portrayed as having a protected class or being disadvantaged by one's background in some way law schools are really looking for a much b…
-
@LegalSeahorse I would take that with a very large grain of salt. That might be entirely true about applicants, but rankings matter and they will absolutely view someone with an LSAT score two points above you more favorably. The other thing to pa…
-
@MIT_2017 is correct. They will absolutely contextualize your application and using your above median GPA to balance a splitter with an above 75th LSAT is something that, in general theory, they'd be happy to do. You're certainly in the mix. If y…

@"James Collins" @Daniel825 I did mine 10/18 and it was approved Sunday I think? I got the email pre-dawn Asia time. A bit disappointed with my score, it is several points below my average, but still quite workable so I will be okay. I will proba…
-
@canihazJD You are correct in that the answer is A. The stimulus is basically saying "which of the following assumptions that could be made by M is proven false by Q's claim?" If M were to use their initial statement to assume that handedness lead…
-
@canihazJD 's advice is what I would do. The next time you would take a 4 section PT do it on LawHub. You have access to all of them on LawHub from the 99 bucks you spent in addition to 7Sage's fees. I found it really distracting the first time o…
-
I am not sure about problem sets. If you do a question on a PT you can find it in analytics under questions. Sort to view the questions in different ways.

@cjb297 Applications to all graduate and professional schools typically go up in times of economic downturn. Compounding that most people have more free time to consider their future, may not be working, and have more free time to prepare for the L…
