Admitted! Awesome! Is this your 1st choice?
-
Great work! Thanks for sharing your story.
-
I'm not an expert, but maybe spending more time on BR and looking at skipping strategies could be helpful. I think things will likely get better as you do more tests.
-
I'm seconding the comments above. I'd vote for staying on the WL and taking steps towards reapplying next cycle. It's not worth the sacrifices to attend a school you don't feel is the right one for you. Meanwhile you may want to consider volunteer w…

For one thing, getting accepted is an honor in itself; even though they have a larger school, there's obviously not many spots relative to the number of applicants. Plus they have really good employment numbers, lots of well-known alumni, and an exc…
-
Yes, I'm also interested. Looking forward to this.
-
And maybe add "after careful consideration" or something.
-
@storm, That's pretty awesome. I also wonder about Columbia's programs but I like the Princeton idea a great deal.
-
So a lot of people say what you say about basically taking it to get the experience out of the way, but you can also do that on your own or at a free prep company event. I'd vote for studying for a score not a test date, but with this it's also impo…

To add to this, the Kennedy School of Government may be another one to consider.
-
For your letters, maybe request that they get really detailed about the classroom environment. Also, maybe you made a great presentation or did well in a debate or on a panel and they might talk about this. Or maybe you did a research poster or simi…

Maybe try the Reading Comp webinars on here. Also, understanding will increase as you do more passages.
-
Will this be recorded?
-
Yes, I also think July being undisclosed is an issue to give a lot of thought to, and @"Seeking Perfection" makes a good point that if this bothers you, then probably pick a different date. The webinars on here are really good. Also, planning to spe…
-
An MA in which subject?
-
Interested in updates on this. They got a ton of apps this year, right?
-
How long do you have before you have to pick one? MSU is said to be a nice campus and they seem to have a strength for advising programs, which may be good for finding people to network with. However, DePaul would probably make sense for a person wh…

I agree with @Ohnoeshalpme as I've heard similar things. I also think it can depend on the schools and their relationships, like regional competitors and such.
-
@speedwagon, Really glad to hear you've committed and are happy, plus NYC is a great place to learn about law. Do you know if there's a list of schools offering fellowships?
-
@Brian_LSAT, This comment is so awesome: "The nightmare of my first test helped me achieve a dream outcome on my last one." I think it applies to earlier phases of studying as well. Thanks for this.
-
@goingfor99th, That's a good description.
-
Agreeing with @FixedDice, and I'd make a list of questions to ask Admissions about scholarships. I'd also want data on how the 1L classes in the past 2 years have done.
-
@FixedDice, Yes, I've read about this happening at some law schools as well. I don't know which ones but it's been talked about. Hastings is generally considered "better" from what I've heard, but I know there's many factors to look at.
-
Is the scholarship conditional? If so, what are the conditions? Here's hoping for a UC-Davis acceptance soon.
-
Here's hoping you receive an acceptance from UC-Davis.
-
The RCs webinars are great and it also seems to help sometimes to connect RC to LR.
-
@JustDoIt Looking forward to hearing your story.
-
@JustDoIt, That is awesome! What do you think of the campus? I'm thinking about a tour eventually.
-
@"Leah M B", The large font looks like Star Wars. And I agree. I wouldn't talk about being WL'd everywhere. I'd emphasize being really happy about the possible chance to attend the school and show your knowledge of the specific programs. I think th…

Videos, I'm told, can provide data points like spending more than 2 minutes on the toughest questions. I'm glad to hear there are no bubbling issues and it sounds like you've created a good strategy for this.
