@Bamboosprout it’s localish to me (1 hr flight) and I wanted to have an excuse to come to this area anyways since I love it here. I had this random weekday off work so I took advantage. This is my 2nd year applying so I wanted to revamp my Why X ess…

1 - it’s all about LSAT for you. You can look at myLSN international applicant profiles to try to figure out where you might stand with your projected LSAT score. 2 - masters degree is a soft factor. It won’t play a huge role but could make you st…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: I did lead off with asking about a specific aspect of the school's culture that makes it attractive for me and the rest just flowed organically from that. Good luck! ETA: Had a thought while walking the dog: A que…

Lol I’ve gotten so many emails from “Penn State” recently that I instinctively deleted that U Penn fee waiver lol

I just spoke with a current 2L at a t12 who externed for a judge during the summer before 2L. She said that one only gets paid $60k/year for a clerkship and it’s a temporary position (usually 1 year, sometimes extended to 2). After clerking people t…

@sx23 said: @NotMyName Congrats! Do you send them thank you emails after you get waivers from like UVA? I said thanks in the original email but am just wondering:) I’m curious about this too like will it be marked in your file that you are p…

Got a U Mich waiver via email and mail!

lol this honestly is something I thought about a lot!! I think if it's like, 95% filled it's fine. I never took the time to 100% fill it in all the way to the border and I never filled in super dark. I dont know if anyone would really have a tru…

Just now got NYU waiver via email

@NotMyName said: @lsatplaylist Great; thanks for all the info. Just trying to save some money given all the other fees we're going to be paying. Yeesh... tell me about it. I'm just about ready to send my first 10 apps and onl…

I would try to specifically mention a student and how it impacted their life to have/not have a gym so it has an emotional component. Also, does anything in your resume make it blatantly evident that you’re on the path to become an attorney? If …

I would definitely disclose that. Hiding sexual harassment to a teacher could be a huge issue in the future. I think minor things like getting detention for being late to class in high school don’t need to be disclosed but your situation sounds ser…

@username_hello said: @"surfy surf" so how do you know when the LSAC uses "many" via the LSAT definition, or the dictionary definition? @username_hello said: @"surfy surf" so how do you know when the LSAC uses "many" via the LS…

Good luck being an attorney if following arbitrary administrative rules frustrate you this much lol. shouldn’t be hard to get a letter confirming you didn’t attend.

Many = some = at least 1

Wow I’m sorry you went through that. I’m surprised that you even had the strength to show up to take the lsat. What was your PT average leading up to the exam, what were you last few PT scores before the exam, how were you scoring on the most recent…

I think you should call uc Davis admissions and explain your situation and see what they say. Admissions seem to be really friendly at UCs and you can just provide your first name if you’re uncomfortable divulging your identity. They’re not gonna li…

Disabled vet is a great PS or DS topic. The fill in the blanks and checked boxes in the application are for statistical purposes, the DS is not. Someone may write a DS about i.e. being Jewish, Muslim, Egyptian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Russian etc. The…

Yes. Ws are still grades.

There is no negative in your situation. The example I listed of applying to 10 schools in one region and 1 in another doesn’t apply to you if you’re only applying to three schools. Like I said, if you’re a reach based on your stats, the school will …

Isn’t it a required question? Just answer it. No effect. The only reason it is there is for statistical purposes. I think the only time it can harm you (like it did for me last year) is ie if you apply ie to 10 schools in California, and 1 in New Y…

You could do 2 academic + 1 work. Or just 2 academic. No need for 3 academic LORs.
