@mcglz_64 said: I thought for a while that it was the curve but I read somewhere that they decide the curve even before administering the test Do you remember where you read that? If true that's crazy, IMHO the only rational reason for the d…

Unpopular opinion of the day: I'm glad I got to be a part of the terror/excitement/agonizing suspense that was grey day! If, as seems likely, LSAC is going to start announcing the release date ahead of time and in general providing some consistency,…

I did my top 10 ways to spend a Saturday. It was pretty lighthearted, but also a chance to show my non-academic interests! Easily my favorite optional essay (honorable mention goes to Stanford-music to play while reviewing app)

I think it's probably an indication that they either really like your softs: army, diversity, WE etc. or they were really impressed by your story/writing in your statements. Either way since you kept those more or less the same I would expect other …

@Oldest_Trick_Inda_book said: So, I hope this makes everyone feel a little better: I got so inebriated two nights ago (from the sheer torture of applying to law school) I changed my username to “Oldest Trick In da Book” and forgot about i…

Sorry for drifting away from the main purpose of this thread.... Is it logical to expect the release of February scores to trigger a wave of school decisions?
-
I think this thread brings up some very valid points. I'm particularly interested in the issue of "unqualified" students being accepted in to TTTT schools with a bleak future and a steep cost. While it's easy to point at Thomas Jefferson, for exampl…

UNC vs Michigan in the final, you heard it here first!!!

Thanks guys, good advice. @calcal101 I might take you upon that offer once I finish polishing it up!

@"surfy surf" Haven't heard anything since their acknowledgement of receiving my LOCI. My understanding is that most waitlist movement happens in April, March and beyond as initial seat deposits come in. Tune in next week for another agonizing epis…

If I were you, I would definitely take the full ride. Graduating from Columbia or Penn with zero debt will provide you with a lot of great opportunities in PI. Plus having minimal debt will allow you to take a job you want even if it doesn't pay big…

Agree with @"Cant Get Right" They will fix it now and totally forget by the time they review your file. Don't worry!! Easier said than done, but try to forget about it. At least you caught it, right!

@uhinberg said: Hopefully, it'll be one of those years in which dozens of students are accepted off the waitlist. It sounds like people are applying to more schools than in the past, which is leading to lots of waitlists, and I would think, …
-
Also, I got an email from NYU saying that my "application remains under review" and then the usual holistic approach, careful consideration spiel. Is this a waitlist? Or just a pointless email to get my heart racing?
-
Duke last week, Penn on Friday I applied in Late December, so not super late, but maybe late enough due to this tough cycle.
-
Jumping in to reiterate the LOCI question posed by @"Paul Caint" What's the conventional wisdom on LOCI timing? As soon as you can write a good one, or wait until march when they start reevaluating WLers? I'm in at UofM (glory be!) but I just got W…

To Yale Adcomms perusing this site: JK! Yale is the be all and end all of legal scholarship! You take lumps of wet clay and turn them into Supreme court justices and leaders of the free world! Please don't ding me!

@grantfollis said: I think the significance of the employment gap between top schools and more middle tier schools is overstated. The reason for this is that it is not like we are seeing identical students go to Yale and Miami. If this we…

@adillpickle said: From what I (briefly) saw on LSN, it appears that Cornell is rejecting (or the occasional waitlisting) everyone with a 172+ LSAT this cycle, even with GPAs of 3.75+. So my guessing is Yield protection That's frustrating. …

I would suggest saving those until right before your retest. If you test in June, reuse sections and tests until beginning of may, then switch to fresh tests. You can still improve your skills with old materials, but you definitely want to be used …

I found it helped to throw myself into applications. Take that study drove mentality and redirect it toward personal statement drafts! #wereallnerds

I applied to the whole t14, still waiting on most schools. But I'll share the responses I've gotten, as usual for a splitter (176, 3.56) very inconsistent. I've been accepted at Texas; waiting on aid info, accepted at UofM;120k scholly, waitlisted a…

@hawaiihi said: I've always done pretty well at RC-- I got -3 on my diagnostic, for example, and now I'm getting -0. But there's a lot of things that I've done throughout life and that I do now that I think really help. I'll bracket of…

I would strongly consider waiting a cycle. In a perfect world you could boost your score into the 160s, which would give you much better odds. Even if you feel 157-9 is your ceiling, I think your chances would improve as a Sept applicant vs February…
