Ah, these sorts of issues are terrible. However, I would include it as an item on a character and fitness addendum if it was as official as you suggest and would just state the general facts regarding the case--about the altercation, the resolution,…

I should be clear that LSAC doesn’t ask for the transcript of any school abroad that you’ve studied at for a year or less. But you should double check for yourself on the LSAC website

I’m pretty sure that a lot of schools don’t ask for the transcripts from such programs. I did a year in Oxford as an UG and only one school has required that I submit my transcript for that (Stanford, ironically enough). Granted, I applied to most o…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: Is a more relevant point to this conversation, at least to the OP's question, whether or not the entirety of UPenn law school should be painted with the same brush some are using to paint Wax? Is this a case of systemic, o…

It obviously depends on the relative grade distributions (and relative sizes) of the other demographics, but even if you settle on 10 percent for the sake of argument, I wouldn’t think that was particularly “rare”. Rare is might be the amount of bla…

@anonclsstudent said: I agree that Amy Wax's comments were not appropriate and she clearly seems to harbor racist feelings. However, I don't know if what she said is actually false. In fact, there has been research done on the issue, not speci…

I honestly don’t know how much this particular controversy should factor into considerations of which law school to attend. Wax was clearly out of her disciplinary depth with the article she co-authored—I don’t think that that particular point is re…

Conversate. That’s the exact word (not “converse” not “communication”) that summarizes my advice (I did my JS1 yesterday morning). This should be casual, not canned, and your foremost goal should just be to be personable. Of course, you want to be…

Awesome! Congrats on the scores and on UMich!!!—it’s a lovely school.—A.c.S

Great stuff! Enjoy the win!!—A.c.S

Awesome!!! That’s a really great improvement; your hard work paying off. Good luck!—A.c.S

...And let the gunning begin!!!?

hmmm...you’re probably in play for Harvard, but less so for Stanford and Yale based mostly on your numbers and URM status. 170 would be fine (never hurts to boost it up, though), but the thing that’s weighing you down, I’m afraid, is your GPA. Btw,…

Ah, you got this thang! Congrats!!! (I don’t know anything about this, sorry)—A.c.S

Congrats!!! I hear exercising really helps with the energy.—A.c.S

Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.

There’s two plateaus that you’re currently facing down. One around the mid 160s and one around the early 170s. Given your stats, I’d really try to make gains on the LR first and foremost. Presumeably, continuously hitting the LG should, over time, …

Good luck!—take it slow, and be consistent and you should have more than enough to hit your goals, whether or not you’re stressed!—A.c.S

I think they do, but your should contact admissions anyways. One thing is that I presume you’re not a dependent, and so that will significantly affect (I.e., lower) your expected contribution.—A.c.S

Yeah. Those are your property, as @10000019 said. Never applied for accommodations so I can’t give you advice on that part of your question, but I can say that they need to turn over your medical records if you request them.smfh—A.c.S
-
Yeah. I don’t know, it’s hard to know what a “slam dunk” is. I have similar numbers to you—just a little more than a .1 higher in GPA—but was just hit with the “priority reserve.” A little disheartening, but gotta stay positive! (To bad it’s my firs…

I don’t really think ppl are ghostin’ you. I just think that the ppl who saw this have no idea. I certainly don’t.—A.c.S
