I'll be wearing a long sleeved shirt under a knitted sweater with a longer scarf that I can bundle in. Leggings, to be comfortable, and probably flats despite what weather it is because I like to sit cross legged when I'm sitting in a desk and worki…

@"Artak Mamikonyan" said: @lawschoolstuff16 ohhh okay i got you. so do you write a 'why x school' statement for every school you apply to separately even if they don't ask for one? I'm planning on it. My goal is to have all my application material…

@bswise2 said: Someone gave me really great advice once about this situation. If it contains anything that you would not feel comfortable with saying out loud to a board professional strangers, then don't put it in your personal statement. I defin…

@"Artak Mamikonyan" said: I guess i can just add the second one under the addendum. @lawschoolstuff16 is that what you meant? Well, sort of. I just have one "general" personal statement, not directed to any school in particular that I can send ou…

@"Artak Mamikonyan" said: @lawschoolstuff16 How are you sending schools 2 personal statements though if you don't mind me asking? Can you specify what you mean by "how"?

Start maybe at 20 instead of at 1 would be my suggestion, unless you also want to keep doing the LG sections from 1-20 in which case, I say go for it. Keep in mind that you might have some off-days or will need to slow down to do thorough review and…

You should apply for the LSAC fee waivers and it'll waive 4 of their own $30 fees. Going to law school fairs and signing clip boards etc at rep tables is also usually a good way to get fee waivers. Sometimes, even just emailing the school and asking…

@MrSamIam said: The best advice I can give is, stick to the prompt. If they tell you to write about anything, than writing about anything (well...somehow relate it to law school). If they ask you why you want to attend their law school, that's what…

@"J. Tharp" said: So, while I think staying and fighting for change would be rewarding, I'm not sure how much I want to sacrifice for a place that I hate (being a little selfish, I guess). It's self-care. Not at all selfish! @jennilynn89 said:…

Blue print also has PTs on their site. As long as they're not in pdf form you're fine -- but they can still be digital. I know people download the exams and then convert them to PDF though I'm sure that's not legal lol.

@"J. Tharp" said: I also appreciate you making me feel better about my age. I guess I'm overanalyzing it because I'm around undergrads all the time and they make me feel so old. I understand the feeling. For what it's worth, I think you have a lo…

Definitely aim for either a top regional school, or for a top 14 school. Waiting for a year or two will be worth it in the long run, and when you try to get a job and find that the school you went to helped you, and didn't hurt you. I don't think …

@MrSamIam said: @lawschoolstuff16 Nope, not my case. I worked pretty much all throughout college. But, sacrificed my social life so that I could keep my grades up, lol. Ugh...I think I may have to submit a 2 page resume. I have a handful of volunt…

@MrSamIam said: I was also told that law schools want to know if you worked throughout college. Exactly. I know people discussing in their addenda how they had lower GPAs because of financial difficulties which required them to pick up extra jobs …

@"Alex Divine" said: Generally, you want your pre-law school resume to be one page. Not to be a buzzkill because while I know this is a general rule, I do know from speaking to law school deans that you should really only put relevant positions o…

@vduran1988 said: And here I was celebrating the deluge of e-mails I was going to receive. Been there haha. I was celebrating too assuming that it meant they saw my transcripts and liked me. Then I realized that I hadn't submitted applications to …

@kacantolina so you think it was just focusing on weaker areas that you were struggling in that really helped push you over a couple of points? This is helpful advice thank you!
-
@vduran1988 said: The more emails you get the better? Or is that standard practice? Standard practice. Usually schools get a list of emails of students who registered for the LSAT and then send mass messages out. I assume they also get a list of s…

You should be able to log into your LSAC account and select that schools are unable to contact you somewhere in the settings. I had the same problem.
-
Have you tried reaching out to the school directly to see what the status of your application is? Plan for the worst, but hope for the best. Don't assume you haven't been accepted until you confirm it with the school
-
You should call back and ask just to make sure.

@"Alex Divine" said: generally speaking, the only time I think they are worth it is if they are completely free AND you have legal employment lined up post-grad. And even then I still think one should think twice.... @"Alex Divine" nailed it on …

be very careful and do more research than a phone call to st. mary's. try to speak to alumni or current students at the school who can give you more information. If you're able to, negotiate a scholarship by applying to a higher ranking/rival school…

@sharon100 Great!! I'll send you a message now

@"Alex Divine" said: I actually found myself tweaking my schedule a bit, Yeah, exactly. You'll probably adjust the schedule as you go to whatever suits you best. Just make sure you keep in mind the test date you're aiming for + PT schedule and you…

Georgetown specifically states on their site that if you apply E.D. you better be okay with not getting any money. Be careful where you decide to apply E.D. most schools it won't really help (NYU I believe already said that it doesn't quite make a d…

Oh, and I'm not sure if you're a caffeine junkie (like I am) but recently I've been having some pretty bad insomnia, so I've cut my caffeine sources after 4pm so that I can get to bed at a reasonable hour. That might also help.

I've used it before when my sleep schedule was a mess and it was nice to fall asleep to, but waking up I didn't feel refreshed at all. I liked using it full force for about one week (you can use it for longer depending on how much you really need it…

@LSATaker said: btw if we want to sit in class, can we just sit for about 15 min or we need to stay till the end? I am thinking to visit at least 2 schools a day (or is it too much?) so... I'm not sure. I know you might be able to reach out to a f…
