For those who have done them, do you remember if you were able to do your unlimited practice interviews and come back to do the actual recorded interview later on (a few days later), or if you are only able to conduct the practice interviews immediately before you begin the actual interview?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

Quick question for you all. My university offered me a position in one of it's study abroad centers, as an assistant to the program. The program starts in January 2018 and is a big reason why I decided to take a gap year between undergrad and law school. I've spent the interim between graduation and starting work by studying for the lsat and perfecting my law school applications.

Now, I had originally planned to explain this gap year in an addendum but I've noticed a couple school's don't have an option for it and for example, U Michigan notes that it should be instead mentioned in the resume.

So my question is basically how? Can I put it under experience if I haven't even started it?

Or would it be under "Personal" section?

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

I'm locking in my school list atm and am confused on how my chances for Berkeley and Boston are so different given that they both have similar median LSAT and GPA. Is it purely based on class size?

To what extent are numbers important to a law school because of competition with other schools versus to what extent they're important as a means of establishing a candidate's preparedness?

Hi,

I am looking for someone who can help me proofread personal statement. I am nonnative speaker and I would really appreciate if someone can take a quick look at my essay.

Please send me a message if you are willing to do it.

Thank you in advance.

Do we just put the host school if it does not have law school by it on the FASFA?

I have a marijuana-related charge from when I was 15. It has since been expunged. I've noticed some applications let you know that if something has been expunged, you do not have to report it. Others say that regardless you must. If an application fails to address what to do if records have been sealed/expunged, what should I assume?

Hi all, does anyone here has insight into the UC Berkeley's BLOS in-person interview? What are some of the questions and what is the general feel of the interview? What advice would you give a BLOS finalist who is preparing for his/her interview?

Originally thought that the personal statement was generic and applied to every school... but recently I've seen a couple specific prompts from individual schools (e.g., CU Boulder). Do I assume the school accepts a school-agnostic letter unless otherwise specified?

I have a rough draft of a PS and need some detailed feedback as I go into a second draft. If you're interested in swapping, ideally with a quick (24 hours or less) turnaround, please pm me !

Has anyone received a larger than 50k scholarship from Cardozo in the past 2 or so years?

I want to try to negotiate and not sure what to do because I heard that lately its the highest they go

What are some of the things yall are doing to research for a Why X essay? I am assuming they know everything on their website. I've been on interview panels where we've asked this question and always thought it was silly, why do you want to work here?.. They want to work here because we have an opening and they need a job... Anyway, Why X ideas?

I'm trying to delete the post

Would be happy to trade drafts, discuss applications, and work towards deadlines with another student. I'm a nontraditional student determined to apply this time around.

If my transcripts and LOR's are submitted to but not processed by the LSAC before a school's deadline, can I still apply?

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!

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

Putting the finishing touches on some application components before sending them all in Feb 1 and would love some eyes on my work from people who don't know me. Would also be down to do personal statement edits as a swap for my Yale 250/resume, if that's what you want looked at!

P.S. My Yale 250 is about being part of the LGBTQ+ community so only looking to swap with people who y'know.... aren't homophobic LOL

I would love to exchange both and see how they work in tandem. Let me know if you'd like some eyes on yours!

How reliable are Loan Repayment Assistance Programs? How can school guarantee that the programs will exist well into the future? I know that we can't predict the future, but how likely is it that schools would cancel or drastically change their LRAPs in the near/distant future? I'm considering GULC specifically, but also asking for evidence from law schools in general.

Hi everyone!!

If anyone is interested in looking over my first (very) rough draft, I would be so thankful!

If you are, just PM me!

Thanks!

I've been away from the forums for a while, hope you're all doing all right. Leave a comment or private message if you would be down to lend me a hand. Thank you, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Has anyone heard back from the group interviews? I got a thank you from the Dean but thats all so far.

Hi everyone, I plan on applying to law school this November and while I wanted to write the LSAT before applying, life kinda got in the way so now I am aiming for the November test too. In my application I plan on indicating that I will write in both November 2025 and January 2026, even though I hope to not have to write in January at all.

But in the off chance that I'm happy with my November score, would the admissions committee wait to consider my application fully until after a January score is posted since I have selected it on my application (even though I may not even write it in January for certain)? Or would they just consider my application with my November score if its posted first and good enough, and not pay much attention to whether I do better in January or not?

I am aware that it would be much more ideal for me to just wait until next year to avoid all of this, but I've been committed to applying this year and figured that aiming for November, and being open to January incase something goes wrong (or I get greedy and want to score higher) would be the smartest option. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!

Hi - I was looking for someone to sit down with to review score/GPA and evaluate admissions prospects in NYC. I want to understand both prospects for JD and JD/MBA admissions. Any recommendations? I used 7Sage for studying for first exam and love the site, so I am coming here with this question.

Thanks in advance,

Joe
