@NotMyName said: I just did my in-person interview w them today... didn’t get anything like that lol. Sounds like they want to see creativity and good reasoning. But damn. I don’t know what I’d say if asked this live. I don’t see what c…

Yes it is a repeat of the resume and I did not include any of the Latin honors ie cum laude nor did I include phi theta kappa or whatever that pay to get into it society is called. I’m sure some people do though. I would include things such as ..hab…

In most applications, the order of the PDF will be your CAS report, resume, personal statement, optional addendum. Don’t include an essay you don’t feel good about.

@momoney6801 said: Got it. Would the schools replace the resume on file or would they keep both? They keep both. What you send to them ends up being the last page of your application. You can call admissions to double check but that seems to…

It’s super gay friendly apparently which I was surprised/happy to discover. The city and the school itself are considered one of the most lgbtq friendly in the nation. I’m not sure why I assumed it was a more conservative school.

I wouldn’t check off any boxes and just do a diversity statement about being adopted. I think these DNA tests are pretty silly. Most Americans are not 100% European. If you hadn’t been identifying as a certain race before this test then I’m not sure…

A year staying with one company is pretty solid. I haven’t heard of anyone in their 20s staying with the same company for longer than a couple years.

Law schools understand that people may be fired or treated differently if they bomb drop to their employer that they don’t plan on working long term. I’ve gone to a few t12 dean speeches and they’ve mentioned an employer LOR isn’t necessary and they…

You don’t need to address the “gaps” literally in your resume. Just fill out your resume like a regular resume with bullet points listing out ie January 2014–August 2014-military. Under education you would just write School Name, expected graduation…

at the forum there is an option to register at the door. I think you need an LSAC# to register. everyone there had a name tag with their LSAC#. i also dont know why you would subject your guest to that. the crowd is like a music festival except it's…

The Penn core strengths essay is killing me idk why this feels way harder than a typical Why X. Like who I am as a person is really defined by...a value of professional development...and cross disciplinary studies...lol.

@tekken1225 said: @"Leah M B" said: Yeah, you're right, I see. Unless you come from money, $200k in loans is never a good idea. It's more like $300k for sticker. Most schools cost $60k+ a year. Living somewhere with cheap rent lik…

No

You can email/call the school and ask who to contact about submitting in an addition to your application! I have to add something to my c&f and I’m just gonna call the school and ask who I should email for that.

It’s taking me a long freaking time /cryface

Yes write the addendum. That’s extrenuating circumstances explaining your low gpa. Hopefully you’ve recovered since the accident and have paid everything off so you can conclude that you’re no longer under that strain and will be able to do well in …

@"Michaela.Pratt1" i’m assuming your mentors are older. I’ve heard this from every older attorney as well. Over a decade ago when education was cheaper, economy was better, loan interests were better, more job options, it certainly was the case that…

@"Michaela.Pratt1" said: it's nice to have scholarship money, but the biggest goal is to GET IN. I'm sorry but that's really bad advice. $350k in loans, + interest, is a huge deal. And people likely have undergrad loans on top of that. Even…

@LCMama2017 said: @LSATcantwin said: 2.) the way to prepare for finals is to take practice tests and make outlines. You have to dedicate weekends to work on outlines and take full practice tests. This is one big way to prepare …

is this a diversity statement?

Reverse splitters have unpredictable cycles but I would bet that you'd have at least 3 options at t14s. if you're aiming for a t6 or if you are willing to wait another cycle just to give yourself more options and scholly money, retake! you have a gr…

Just write exactly what you said here! The general advice is to address any downward or upward trends in your grades with an addendum. Although it will be visible in your transcripts, you dont want to leave admissions guessing as to what happened in…

TBH sounds like a + to me. And some schools say don't include "minor traffic violations" whereas others say to include minor traffic violations. Others say don't include 10 year old minor traffic violations. So read carefully. If you know the coun…

The point of that rule is so that you don’t i.e. run out of time to bubble your last few answers in section 1, then while in section 2 you go back and bubble in the remaining section 1 answers. Had the test been on the computer you would not have be…

Not every school will let you defer so it’s not a good idea to apply with the intention of deferring
-
Write exactly what you wrote here. Keep it to less than a page double spaced. Did you have an upward trend in grades? Keep in mind that the point of the GPA addendum is to show that you are capable of doing well in law school, despite your lower GPA…
-
Apply now unless you’re aiming for t6 or if your GPA is below the medians. If you’re a splitter then wait.

You’re not a fraud and you shouldn’t get so down on yourself. Not to bring negativity into this post but I think this is a serious fundamentals issue or over/under confidence issue which you need to work out. If you sporadically drop that many point…

I probably brought 10 pencils and I think I switched per section. I definitely switched during every other LG game. My handwriting is messy enough so I need the sharp tips for it to be legible. When I PTed I pretty religiously switched pencils per…

I don’t know the exact numbers and I’m totally speculating and this is just from scrutinizing LSN so much, I think the “URM boost” gives you a 2-5 point LSAT boost. Your GPA is also below the median. You aren’t a shoe in with your current stats. I w…
