You're in a good spot. I would much rather have the potential to score a 170 but need timing than scoring in the 160's with timing down. That's where I am right now. And I have not BR'ed in the 170's yet. So it seems like you have a grasp on things…

W and M is beautiful, and a great undergrad school. As for law, what the 180 said is most likely correct. Since it is outside of the t14 range, it probably won't hold as much sway country wide as those schools do. However, it probably holds strength…

Okay, thank god. I only went to one school so I should be okay.

What does the LSAC do that impacts the GPA so greatly? I am kind of confused as to why my GPA wouldn't stay the 3.2 that it already is.

@combsni welp. That works for me

@nessa.k13.0 said: you definitely shouldn't let that stop you from asking! Professors know their students will ask for LORs. The worst they could do is say no, and then you'll be in the same situation you are now:) Just be sure to be considerate of…

Awesome! Thank you for making me feel less awkward. I sent him a copy of his older LOR in case he wanted to reformat it. It was excellent then, and I feel bad asking again.
-
@stgl1230 that works just as well then. And when you say a 25 percent reach do you mean both categories in he 25 percentile? What if you are below the 25th percentile gpa wise for most schools in the top 50, but in the 50 to 75 percent via lsat sc…

If that means that many schools aren't necessarily getting great applicants so are shirking their standard 25/75 splits than hurray! That was one of the things I noticed about my MBA. I got into a really goodt b-school but my numbers were slightly…

can you elaborate please? What do you mean percentiles don't count?

That's dependent on you. Reach and safety schools are fully dependent on your LSAT and GPA from undergrad. If you have an LSAT of 165 and a GPA of 3.5, you can probably consider a top 10 a reach. A top 14 a possibility. And anything outside of top 3…

My set up is in my office upstairs. That sounds idea, but my office is right next to a fairly busy street that has cars running up and down constantly. With that said, I have always allowed my dog to run free around the house and he can be a bit of …

There was already a section for this. Great. Thank you for the information. I needed this. I will definitely need go steel myself.

Wow. I thought law schools no longer did interviews. That's nuts. Here's to hoping Texas doesn't play by those rules.
-
Holy crap. You make me look like a rookie. I get up at 6 to get to work at 6:30. I get off at 2:30 and go to the gym. I get home at 5 and study from 6 to 10:30 or 11. I am lucky for two reasons: my boss never gets me out of work later than I have t…

@stgl1230 said: no worries. anyway, I believe CAS is available for purchase at any time throughout the year. I would purchase as soon as possible though, so that you can get your transcripts and LORs in...those can take time. Thank you, Stgl! I a…

@stgl1230 said: o you mean the CAS on the LSAC site? if I remember correctly though, CAS was around $150 or something. Yep! Sorry, I forgot the name and price.

Be super proud of yourself and don't undersell what you have accomplished. This is the first step to your future, and you will get there. You will get there, and I wish you continued success!

I just celebrated my one year anniversary a couple of days ago. Congratulations to you and best of luck to you and yours. I asked for permission from both the mother and father. My wife's family is Mexican- American and, while not completely into …

I am also kind of a bro in the weight lifting sense, so I get hyped from a solid workout/ trance beat. Yes, I know, it's embarrassing.

I am a splitter. 3.2 gpa in college. Good work history, decent volunteering, and a masters degree from a well received business school (though it means nothing here). Where does my motivation come from? Well, I have spent my entire life standing up…

Wait, so do you e-mail the admissions directly to let them know?

Scooter- are you a Virgo?

From a guy who has taken the curriculum twice, and the second time only because he took a three week break, I highly recommend it. If I retake this exam after February, I will probably cycle through the curriculum alongside my exams until I retake. …

@montaha.rizeq said: "And that, children, was when I got my first 180." Did you get a 180?
-
I feel like, if I do end up coming back for a retake, I will feel extremely guilty about taking a break. Though, in reality, I will definitely do it.

@cam said: where did you go to undergrad? I went to RU/CCPA for the first three years of mine while living in Rogers Park. Hey! You were in my neck of the woods. Not sure when you graduated, but I went to Loyola University of Chicago. I spent mos…

This is fair. Looks like I will have to settle for something on my back and shoulders.

@bswise2 said: So I guess I'm just asking for cost benefit analyses. How important is physical exercise in your prep and do you foresee any catastrophic consequences if I decide to fully embrace the sedentary life? Do you think it's likely that the…
