@mimimimi said: Yes, I was going through a stressful lawsuit which was finally settled in Oct 2015. So you don't think I need to mention it in the addendum? Thanks again! I think you should mention the test center disturbances within the bigger …

Congrats! For about how long did you study?

@"Navas de Tolosa" said: Their median LSAT is 165 but I feel that applying with a 165 won't get me much money (especially since they have a full-tuition scholarship I was hopeful for that would probably call for a 168 or 169). There is a decent (bu…

@Pacifico said: And law school rivals are not UG sports rivals. The word rival is a bit misleading in this context as it is more about rankings and prestige as has been alluded to. Agreed. When people say 'law school rivals' they already assume a …

@"GSU Hopeful" said: Of course those who devote 40 hours a week to the curriculum will cover it faster than the person who only has 5 hours a week to spare. There is a huge difference between learning the curriculum and mastering it. definitely t…

If you feel like you've waited too long (more than 2 months) to get any kind of response on your application then you can always call the law school and ask to check the status of your application.

That's the only number I've ever seen, so I'm assuming it is!

@gabrielle.r.pike just sent you a message!

It certainly would be in your best interest to only reapply if your applications have changed in some way or another. For example: you're reapplying with a higher GPA or a higher LSAT score, or you have more work experience, etc. I would apply using…

Some schools have different requirements. I think NYU or NU ask for 3 paragraphs, other schools have a 2 page limit, other schools request 1 page max. I would say draft your idea for your statement out and write a 1 page statement. Maybe adjust it a…

@Snowball said: Are these legit? definitely legit. I've bought a few myself and had no problems.

I could look it over (for free). I've worked at law schools, read a lot of consulting books, and done a lot of research. I'm not a professional, but I definitely know a thing or two about what personal statements should look like and how to set your…

https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/2roy5e/alumni_interview/ Reddit seems to have some more info about this. This should also be helpful: https://www.quora.com/What-should-I-expect-for-my-Georgetown-alumni-interview good luck!

It seems like a few people were already discussing this: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=140387

@megsvyas said: @lsatings I'm so down for it, too! I just sent you a PM. Yay! Looking forward to it

I'd be so down for this! I wouldn't mind doing it over Skype or even meeting up (if we live near each other, of course).
-
I just bought a few kindle books from different consultants, books of sample essays, etc and sort of outlined the qualities schools were looking for and went about it that way. It was cheaper for me than using a consultant and I did pretty well on m…

@nicole.hopkins said: @keane.xavier said: I'll prepare Monday as though I'm beginning my preparation over again. Don't forget—what you've done before is not lost. You're just leveling up. Ditto what Nicole said! I had to switch between differe…

I wouldn't mind reading over it. I've already finished my application materials and only have the LSAT to go. Send me a DM and I'll see what I can do.

Don't focus too heavily on the content that you're reading! Try to focus on strategy / general outline for the content over any of the details. I used to struggle and zone out during any STEM passages, but once I started to focus less on the actual …

@allan.kogan said: How many hours a day would you guys say you were studying while you were doing the cirriculum, (not taking PTs yet) ? I didn't start out with 7sage! I actually had taken a Kaplan course and felt that it was a disaster and so I c…

@aoiao said: Do you guys give personal statements/ essays/ other material you plan on submitting to schools to those writing your LoR too? Or is that discouraged. Also, are you able to read a given LoR to decide among the ones you have which one to…

@mjpina15 @Pacifico I hadn't found the other post! I even tried to do a few discussion post searches and couldn't come up with anything, so I figured I would ask Thanks for the feedback!

@allan.kogan said: I have noticed the ones that I have trouble with are the ones where the passage is difficult for me to understand. I was in the same boat when I first started out with the LSAT. From my experience, I found that the more time I…

Yes, in terms of application logistics: you can apply sooner to your schools and you can get the lsat done sooner and have the summer to work on your application materials.

@MrSamIam said: I just happen to be one of those people who is taking far longer than expected to nail down the LSAT. Also, sorry about the crazy amount of comments but I just read this -- you may be in a good position to apply next year if this …
-
@MrSamIam said: Hence why I said that applying early may not be the best option for me. At the end of the day, it's your application so you do your research, and then call all the shots. If not starting the application yet is what makes the most s…

@asifie said: Is there an accurate way I can find out what I can specifically expect before the applications open up fairly late in the summer? Yes. Make a list of schools you are applying to, then do research. Go to the school's official website …

Congrats!!
