So you've run lots of searches but no luck yet? State bars and law firms might be helpful organizations as well. Maybe.
-
So I'm not an expert, but I'd try the ABA, the schools themselves, professional associations that relate to your work, community organizations, and awards that you may qualify for based on your stats.
-
I really appreciate that this forum is super-active and supportive. It's great being here.
-
Guess it's probably going to be Monday or Tuesday. Pros and cons to both, I guess. Sorry that people are having to go through all this waiting. Hopefully you'll find some fun and relaxing things to do this weekend, though.

Congratulations on the new job! Hopefully you can secure a reference from the job you have now in case you need it on a future application.
-
Your improvement is awesome and I bet this is going to continue. Wondering if you've explored the webinars on here.
-
Affordable/good value. Area's somewhere I can see myself and/or family in future. People are friendly and approachable. Location is one with large amount of job growth. And yes, being near some large grocery stores is important.

Maybe going to an animal shelter and having a visit with the animals could have calming effects.
-
I also want to put in an endorsement for the ThinkingLSAT podcast. They talk about a variety of student experiences and how people have gotten past obstacles.
-
Inspiring. Thanks for sharing your routine.
-
This is the best LSAT community and people have made amazing improvements on here.
-
Agreeing. I think having the waiting list could contribute to more test locations. I hope so.
-
@mattnaw, Definitely been there. Right there with you. I take breaks and sometimes this helps.
-
Maybe they want you to consider a visit to the school and the prof's class.
-
A letter of continued interest is probably a good idea. You may also want to keep visiting their site for events the law school has that are open to the public and/or prospective students.
-
Maybe you can join a BR group if this is something you have time for that you're interested in.
-
What you're doing is good, and it's great that you're starting to study in the mornings. How do you get into study mode after sleeping?
-
Did they provide a reason for the hold?
-
Thinking this could be onto something. Hoping it doesn't happen during the weekend, though. I want the people who took the exam (and the rest of us) to have a relaxing weekend.
-
Maybe make a small spreadsheet to help leverage this on Google Sheets or something, then start drafts of responses.
-
@10000019 and @"surfy surf", Glad you mentioned this. Yes, it's probably good to put off the negotiations until there's an offer. The fact that this is a waiting-list situation changes my response to more of an enthusiasm/credential promotion letter…

So you're carefully considering the costs, you love the school, you can see yourself there for the following reasons, and you REALLY hope to attend, but you have to prioritize financial considerations, you have a competitive offer from this other sc…
-
How do the offers relate to your top 3 school choices? I like the comments in the other thread @"surfy surf" links to. Maybe also do a very detailed budget and feel free to ask them questions. Also find out the details on any stipulations, like do y…

What's your accuracy like? Keep up the practicing. I think you're going to get better.
-
Not an expert and am likely wrong and kind of joking, but I'm wondering about this Friday.
-
It's a good thing, but keep in mind the field is saturated and there are lots of people with JDs looking for jobs as well and you'll also want to make sure it's a job that's beneficial and interesting to you. Think outside the box.
-
Law School Transparency is another one to maybe check out.
-
Maybe being a camp counselor, which would likely mean a limited number of weeks and not a huge amount of stress.
-
@"surfy surf", Yes, keep it until you've got something else along with a letter to confirm. I just don't want you to have to worry about expenses or added stress.

This program is the most helpful. It meets you where you're at and then guides you to more advanced levels.
