Don’t solely take advice from any attorney over the age of 30ish about law school. They don’t know anything. Unless they went to law school at an older age within the past few years. Talk to older attorneys about lawyering, not school.

I think if at no point you have studied continuously then no you aren’t delusional, you just aren’t studying right. It’s like playing a sport. If you randomly practice every so often you’re never really gonna get good at it. A 160 is a good score co…
retake retake retake. if you got a 161 officially and have even gotten as high as a 164 on prep, then there's no reason you cant bust out a few more points and get to the high 160s or even 170s range. you can get into that california school with a h…

Yeah if I re-apply, I for sure would plan on doing a new PS. Just interesting that this person didn’t.
If I do re-apply, I’d definitely try again on the LSAT. I’m very happy with my score but I was still improving up unt…

I'm just wondering if that is worth a year of deferred income, essentially. I'm contemplating whether I could attend a lower-rank school with a good alumni network and have the same earnings potential in a few years as a T14 st…
UVA UVA UVA! Congrats on the acceptance. Making 200k a year you'll pay that off in no time. Or retake and reapply next year.
I second the first comment -- living expenses + rent + full tuition + books + health insurance and everything else is gonn…
I think, if you're talking to people who want to get a 170+ and go to a T14, then that's why you might be hearing a lot of people say they want to stay in the west coast/go to school in the west coast. There's only Berkeley and Stanford here. Someon…

@"surfy surf" I would much rather go to one of their peer schools, UVA or Michigan. The overall atmosphere seems better there.

I know this isn’t the exact logic but it kinda sounds like there’s a 25% chance of losing your scholly and that’s not a safe bet.
Does anyone know how one ends up being one of the lucky few who get schollys without stips? Is it based on gpa/LSAT? …
That UPenn TLS thread about how conservative it is, that racist professor, rats in the classrooms, and that time the heaters broke and everyone had to sit in 50* classrooms (does this happen frequently?) really did scare me. It might have just been …

Don’t use chrome. Uninstall flash. Don’t have a bunch of tabs open at once. Don’t have the laptop on your lap or a blanket.
Are your fans going in overdrive?
