@canihazJD I completely agree with what you said and it's reassuring to know that it's still early. I'm mainly feeling the pressure because I received 3 rejections in the span of two weeks and it just doesn't seem to be a good indicator for the rest…

I think as long as you assign the LOR to the school, it’ll be sent automatically by LSAC

@"Timmy Is an Avg Kid that No One Understands" if it’s any consolation, I was in a similar situation about a year ago. I knew virtually nothing about the LSAT and admissions process, but thought I could study for 3 months and take the exam/ apply th…

@Confidence123 @allisonmgonzalez Hey guys! First of all, thank you! Second, I am happy to share my stats and when I applied. Feel free to DM me and we can chat further
-
@learn2skipQs best of luck!! You got this
-
@learn2skipQs thank you! I’m just peeved that some schools jumped 2-3 points which is astronomical given even a point higher is a huge difference in LSAT world. It’s true they increase every year though so I guess it is what it is 😵 I think with th…

@"Madam TA" you’re right. The acceptances I’ve received are not bad at all and I am very grateful to have gotten in with scholly. I think I’m just on edge because they’re not technically my top choices, but great schools nonetheless. So far, I’ve go…

I agree with the people above, but I also want to add that this cycle just seems weird and brutal tbh. Don't get too worried about this one decision though. It's probably yield protection as mentioned above! Especially since you got a full ride at a…

Sometimes you just need to slow down a bit to better absorb the information you're reading. I had a similar problem for LR and RC which resulted in really stupid avoidable mistakes. Once I slowed down and stopped rushing, I was better at avoiding mi…

Congrats !! Still waiting to hear back from other schools since I applied in November/ December, but heard back from a couple. No decision yet but wishing I could be in your spot haha Enjoy the rest of your time before school starts!
-
@alienman1000 I agree with @noonawoon ! I requested my letters of rec the summer before applications and everything worked out smoothly for me. It was one less thing to worry about when I was applying because I already had all my letters and transcr…

@VerdantZephyr definitely! Check your spam too. It's best to call them ASAP since they don't start reviewing your app til you complete the interview and from what I remember in the email, it says you have 30 days to complete it before they move your…
-
@canihazJD thanks for the reassurance! I completely agree about the awkwardness of the whole thing. Initially, I thought doing an online interview would actually help my nerves, but I was very wrong. Once the camera started rolling, my mind turned i…
-
@VerdantZephyr when did you submit your app? I got my interview invitation the Monday after I submitted over the weekend. It's worth giving them a call or emailing them if you submitted on christmas and haven't heard back
-
@LSATcantwin Thank you so much for your quick response! Amazing LSAT score btw Were you put on their waitlist at all or did they accept you directly? My GPA is within their median but my LSAT score is definitely below their median so I am mainly wo…
-
@LSATcantwin btw would you mind sharing your stats here or via PM? NU is technically a reach for me so I am not expecting much, but still hoping to have a somewhat decent shot haha
-
@VerdantZephyr sorry for the delayed response. I emailed Vandy about interviews and they said the deadline passed so there aren't any available interviews left, but they recommended the video essay! So that's definitely something to look into
-
@LSATcantwin Sorry for the delay.. but thank you for your in depth response about NU! I've heard a lot of great things about the NU community and it's definitely high up on my list. For some reason, I just have a good gut feeling about the school an…
-
Definitely possible! I started out in the low 140's and was able to score mid-high 160's even a 170 in my PTs. Ended up with a high 160's on the real thing so don't give up! For reading comp, what helped me the most was reading the passage carefully…
-
@TimeIsMoney hmm I think some schools also have a sheet you can fill out to show scholarships you've received from other schools so you can leverage the amount you get. For instance, school X gives you 5k more than school Y, but you prefer school Y …
-
@rb1010scm I put the GPA I received on my transcript for my resume. I figured they already have my CAS GPA so it's fine to put what I actually got on my official transcript. My CAS GPA is also slightly lower than what I actually received from my uni…
-
@natal310 hi there! just wanted to pop in and give you my two cents on this as someone who has been in your shoes before. I took the LSAT twice and LR was consistently my area of weakness. Like you, I found certain question stems especially challeng…
-
@LSATcantwin Thank you for the tips!! I decided to do the interview and submitted my app yesterday. I'll probably do a million practice rounds before submission, but at least it's all recorded and just a matter of practice Off topic though, how ar…
-
@VerdantZephyr thank you for your insight and well thought out points! I agree with this. I think interviewing seems like a must at NU and a "highly encouraged but not absolutely necessary" at Vandy. I also read on Reddit that some people were admit…
-
@VerdantZephyr @noonawoon thank you guys for the in depth advice! In all honesty, I know an interview is the best way go! I do have a question though. I applied later to Vandy and said no to the interview cuz it was past the date they asked for on…
-
@VerdantZephyr I figured haha I'm just worried I'll bomb the interview and ruin my application. Do you have any tips for law school interviews ?
-
@SRV_Lawyer ohh okay! Sounds like you've started your prep already. But yes, definitely save the more recent exams for the month or two before your actual LSAT. What I did was sacrifice a couple early 70's and 80's exams and drilled certain sections…
-
@madi2639 yup! Called all the schools and heard back from all except 1 so far. Thanks for the help
-
@SRV_Lawyer All of them! haha If you're just starting out, I would save the earlier exams for practice and drilling. Get used to the exam itself with those and then once you get the hang of everything, take the more recent exams to prep for the actu…
-
@cat.casa Thank you for your insight! I feel the same way which is why I did not write an addendum to begin with, but I ended up calling the schools I applied to today. Turns out some of them prefer an explanation and some don't care so I'm just goi…
