@jknauf said: As for law schools consideration in regards to the absence, sure it could potentially be looked at negatively because in all reality you have until midnight the night before the test to cancel but I don't think it's anything a simple …

@jknauf said: I guess I'm assuming you meant Lady Justice with the scales and not just the quote "justice is blind" hah either way, still a cool idea! That's the one! Sorry about that, I should have clarified. It has always been one of the better …

Beginning to "get it" with LR. I am using some diagramming so it's slowing me down, but I am finally beginning to pick up the structure of arguments easily. I am beginning to get 80 percent or 4 and 5 star questions right whereas I used to get 40%…

I am about 15 points off of where I want to be in order to get into my top choice. I am about 3 points away from where I need to be to get a full ride into a third tier school. I have a feeling I can pull the 3 points. My decision will come afte…

Can't get right- that's interesting. Since I am just beginning to crack LR, or perceiving it that way, it could All be because I am on the opening stages of actually cracking it. So I am finally understanding structure sentence to sentence but stil…

@BinghamtonDave said: I do this for probably 2-3 problems on each LR section. These 2-3 questions are probably the ones I skipped and came back to This is probably where I need to be in order to ensure I am comfortable on test day. I am currently…

California will be lucky to have you when you get there. Best of luck this cycle and next! I have never been there, but it is the bluest of blue states so it will definitely take care of that aspect of life for you.

@danielznelson said: In this way, you'll gradually lead up to the most recent and thus likely most reliable material. Some of the PTs just mentioned have some standout material, others not so much. More importantly, you're preserving six of the 70s…

This is pretty interesting, and not the response I expected. I thought 12 was going to receive laughter from some of you guys (is a non-offensive way haha) since it is so short on the huge amount of PT's out there. What I am gathering from all of …

Sweats, a sports t, and a light jacket. The only negatives about the profession I want to work in is the dress code. I am an extremely laid back person. Professional attire sucks. Hell, jeans suck too. I am getting my last bits of comfort in bef…

That is awesome! If you have a great way to tie that in to the application, it can only be a positive. Schools definitely would look at it as a plus if your story came with some kind of positive lesson or just positive impact on your life. One that …

It seems like LG is truly the one section that can be improved on with drilling of questions and overall understanding of diagrams. LR is more conceptual, and you have to have an understand of grammar/logic/ and paragraph structure in order to suc…

@jennilynn89 said: I didn't start college until later in life (I moved from Germany to the U.S. when I was 20) so I didn't actually finish college until I was 25) and have been taking time off since. I am very much ready to get back into now thoug…

@onecallthatsall said: I could not possibly agree with you more. Interacting with the other side is the only way to overcome the profound polarization that is crippling this country. That sentiment is exactly why I want to pull out my hair when lib…

and apologies for getting off course with politics. That will be my last foray into that topic here.

@onecallthatsall said: Particularly if you possess political aspirations, your talent may not be utilized in a red state. Personally disagree with this. Parts of Texas have many blue safe zones and there are avenues for anyone looking to get in…

@stgl1230 YES! Hopefully Ohio. Well, after our poor showing, anywhere will do.

Half kidding about the puppies. I love my pupper, and we are getting him a nice German Shepherd pupper next summer as a companion (to keep him happy while I am studying and my wife is in residency).

@cgracia12 said: Have you considered other schools besides Austin/Waco area? Tough schools, UH and South Texas have generally lower medians, and A&M's law school is on the rise. @vduran1988 Hey @cgracia12! Glad to hear from a fellow Texan. I h…

First of all, from a political perspective- DON'T MOVE!!!!! I am an extreme liberal living in pure red Texas. I moved here from Chicago, and as much as it sucks, I am putting in work to move the bar back to blue one horrible and slow day at a time. …

Do you guys have any idea about where you will want to end up, or is this not a set situation?
-
This thread just made me feel so much better. I am 28 and have delayed law school for 5 years now. Now, I have been moving around the country because of my wife's medical school situation, but it doesn't make my anticipation to get in go away. I wa…

@TheLoftGuy said: The purpose of the JD is to help within my own businesses. You are a lucky man. Best of luck, and I hope this JD delivers what you need!

Some decently uplifting stuff here: http://www.haynesboone.com/people?offices=San-Antonio Half of the associates there are from St. Mary's. And one partner.

@rachel said: FWIW my ex graduated from St Mary's several years ago and got a job with his dad's firm afterward. I gathered that he would not have secured a job coming from there otherwise, as his grades were not stellar. Also, just this summer, …

@"Creasey LSAT" said: Yeah, they have almost every PT before 75. It is not illegal to download what others post on the site, but it may not be totally legal for those who upload their tests. They remove any material instantly if there is a copyrigh…

@"Dillon A. Wright" said: LSAC banned PDFs in April 2015, so no. Not anymore. Ahh, inconvenient. Thank you!

@"Alex Divine" said: Another thing I have been told is that if you have trouble getting a high LSAT score you should be weary of the hubris needed to think you'll just work hard and be in the top X% of your class. Every student thinks they'll be in…

@lawschoolstuff16 said: 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 students who took the LSAT and send out messages to them as we…

@Walliums said: I see! Well I am wishing you the best as well and hoping you get the LSAT you need for UT. I am about a year or so behind you it sounds like, my spouse is an MS3 (and is looking to do internal but we'll see...) so I'm looking to at…
