Hi everyone, thanks for clicking in this post.

I will take the LSAT in Jan (and it will be my first and only LSAT score) but some schools' application deadline is Feb 1st. I'm a little bit worried if I should force myself to have a try on Nov LSAT (I have already registered it but feel not very confident, consider to cancel it)

I wondered will I be able to submit the application without LSAT score?

Thanks.

I uploaded the Word doc version of my résumé to an application, and it seems to have caused a formatting error. The year portion of a date that was aligned to the right has been pushed onto it's own line to the left. It doesn't show up like this when I open it in Word. In my opinion it's pretty noticeable since it causes a two things to be out of place, though I somehow missed it when I previewed the application. I'm nervous because this is a top school where I'm a borderline case, and I feel any little thing could make a difference.

Should I upload a correct PDF version to their status checker and email them about it? I'm conflicted because I don't want to appear careless by leaving it, but I don't want to draw too much attention to it or seem obsessive either. Any advice would be appreciated.

hello everyone,

in a past life, I took the GRE because I was convinced I wanted to get a PhD in Political Science. After many professors telling me not to do this and instead go JD-MPP, I've been on the law school path. Today, I got an email from Georgetown's Admissions Director "I invite you to apply for Fall 2021 admission with your GRE score. Although this invitation does not waive your application fee or guarantee admission, we feel that your academic talent and background would make a positive contribution to the intellectual community at the Law Center."

What does this mean? Don't want to get my hopes up. My LSAT score has been consistently around 166 on practice tests, so I thought G'Town would be a reach.

Hi,

I was hoping that someone might be interested in reviewing my personal statement and giving me feedback.

I'm a bit confused at this point and need some direction. I've had it reviewed a few times and don't know when to stop editing it. I think that I'll always find faults in it so I'd love some feedback to identify what actually needs to be improved.

Hey all-

I've just jumped down the rabbit hole of attempting to calculate my "academic summary index" score. For anyone who is unfamiliar with what I'm referring to, view it here: https://www.lsac.org/key-online-academic-summary-report?access-code=academic-summary.

2 questions: 1) once my LSAT score is made available, will the LSAC actually make my score visible to me for me to check? The website says students can write in if they find errors, but I'm not sure where to look to confirm my info is accurate. 2)I'm an undergraduate admissions officer currently, and I understand pretty well how these algorithms are generated. I'm wondering if anyone else can speak to how any given schools weighs this data? From my best guess crunching some numbers, it seems to me that every school is ultimately going to consider admission for a student who has a calculated score of (0.0.(/p)

If anyone can provide clarity, it'd be greatly appreciated!

ucla has a disadvantage or disability statement option.

should i submit my diversity statement as an optional addendum? 7sage says not to send ucla a diversity statement unless it’s about disadvantage or disability.

i’m pretty confused as to why ucla doesn’t want to consider the widely recognized forms of diversity, more specifically- my religion

Okay, I've heard from a podcast or two that NYU allegedly does NOT like multiple LSAT takes and that in the past have asked for an addendum requesting applicants to describe why the average of there scores should not be considered. (and I know... i know... USNWR only requires reporting the highest, but again I've heard that this is something that NYU has asked for in the past)

I can't seem to find anything like this online now so do you think this has changed or what?

Hi there -- does anyone know how long it typically takes to get off the waitlist for a one time edit?

I am in the final review stages (hopefully) after many rewrites. I really want to start submitting apps, but I am nervous to without having someone outside of my friends and family take a look at my PS.

Thanks!

I am looking for someone to edit/proofread a short essay for my application. Please PM me if you are able to help. Thanks!!

Hi! I am planning to apply to schools in early November. I have a draft personal statement and would love some feedback. I am more than happy to return the favor. Comment below and I'll send you a message :)

Do Canadian law schools care if you take lower year courses in upper years (in my case, this is to fulfill requirements for a minor)?

I am planning on applying ED either by the end of October or beginning of November. On the 7sage Predictor, it says I have a 6% better chance of getting in ED if I apply in October vs. November, but I'm thinnking that this application cycle could be different because of COVID. Am I putting myslef at a significant disadvantage by applying in early November?

Hi!

Is the Oct 12 test in the MENA region digital or na?

Moreover, what do you think of sitting for it to apply in the fall/ applications in by Nov 15 latest?

Thanks!

I know that it's not recommended to include "relevant coursework" on your resume, but I have taken 2 law courses through my masters program. Should I include these in my education section on my resume?

Good Afternoon,

I wanted to reach out to any fellow 7sagers in the community about exchanging personal statements for the Yale Personal Statement Essay. I am applying next year but want to complete my personal statements in a timely manner so that later in the future after reading the final piece I can decide whether it something that truly resembles my character and aspirations. If your interested please feel free me to message me as I am always interested in gaining new insight or perspectives with regards to this subject matter.

Regards,

I am wondering if I should write an addendum for my score going from a 148 (Nov 2019) to a 159 (Nov 2020)? I'm not sure.

Also, I changed my major to Graphic Design for a year in college because I wasn't sure about being a lawyer. Should I write about that as well?

How long should each addendum be?

Thanks!

Hello All!

I've been working on my statements for the next cycle (2021-2022). I think I have a decent 2-page rough draft for a PS, but I would love to get feedback on it. I'm not that concerned about my grammar/spelling. Rather, I want to make sure that the tone and content are persuasive.

Of course, I'm totally willing to read your PS statement in return!

So if you're interested, just PM me with your email and I'll send it over (and send your PS too if you want me to look at it).

In case it matters, my stats are 3.9X and 17low.

This coming fall, I am going to be applying to law schools. I have recently written my personal statement, and I am ready to begin writing "Why X?" essays and supplemental essays. I have heard it is important to get in contact with alumni, professors, or current students of certain schools to include that you have spoken to them in those supplemental essays. Does anyone have advice on how to reach out to people to get information? Thanks.

Hi all, i just received my grades from this past semester and am wondering if it is routine to email the schools i have already applied to with my updated GPA? Thanks in advance!

I've been awarded the scholarship (all three years) for a local school, which is great! However, I am still waiting on the rest of my applications which are pending. Am I required to answer the email? I think if I did answer, it would be a lame "this is great news, but I don't know if I will be attending your school" response. Also, I am concerned that if I don't answer somehow the offer will be off the table in a month's time (yet, the deposit is due in April, FAFSA February), but I think this is just anxiety talking more than anything. Anyone care to enlighten me, please?

Thank you, all! I was able to achieve my goal score thanks to the content here and this awesome community, so keep working if you are still in the LSAT process! Best of luck.

Hello, just curious to get some information regarding Norcal law school admission. Am interested in Stanford, UCB and UCD. Has anyone in here got into Stanford or UCB and is willing to provide some insight regarding application process or provide general information.

I’m looking for someone to read my diversity statement before I finish my applications next week! I’ll take a look at any of your statements and give you feedback as well. Feel free to message me!

Could use some fresh eyes on my personal statement draft. If anyone wants to swap for feedback let me know. I've hit some serious writing road blacks and I want it to be finished already!

Hello! Could someone provide me some feedback on my PS draft? I am having difficulty figuring out if the structure is focused and makes sense...

I recently changed the focus of my PS, so I would really appreciate your help.

I am also willing to do a timely exchange!

Thanks everyone !

If there’s a deadline for ED, does it matter whether you apply the day before or a month before that deadline? Thanks!
