What does it mean when it says that a LOR is "In Progress" on LSAC but I know that the person has submitted the letter back? Thanks!

So some of the apps ask for all the LSATs you've taken and the scores you got. I have one cancelled score from July 2019, but do I still need to put that score and test date in? Or just put in the score I have received and is visible?

Hi all, I just had one quick question. On LSAC it asks for a title for each of your recommenders. My recommenders both have JD's and MBA's, should I include this? Ex. Should I put "Instructor of Business Law, JD, MBA" or just "Instructor of Business Ethics" ?

I'm an AF veteran wondering how my Community College of the AF credits will be integrated into my UGPA by LSAC. Has anyone already been through the conversion? Thanks!

Would you happen to know that if I have a hold on my account from a school that I didn't receive any credit from - can I just report that on the LSAC website that I have a financial obligation ?

Hi All,

I have wanted to go to Law School for a long time. I currently live in NE Indiana and I can’t quit my job because I need it, obviously. I don’t really want to leave my family here in Indiana either, we are really close and leaving does not appeal to me. Dayton’s online program really intrigues me because of cost, proximity, etc. I want to practice in here in Indiana and live here. Would you all recommend going here for my long term goals? Want to be in public interest or patent law or become part of the counsel for the company I currently work for.

Hey y'all, having a bit of trouble with inputting majors into the active applications' sections on education. I am double majoring; both majors are unique to my undergraduate institution. One is an honors interdisciplinary major that I expanded on briefly in my resume. The other one is akin to Human Resources Management or Corporate Psychology (people in this major often go into consulting). The application has a dropdown menu for major and I was wondering if I should put "management science" down because it is close to my business-y major. There's also a space to fill in "Other Major" and I was going to put my honors interdisciplinary major there. I can't tell if the Other Major section is meant for a major that isn't on the dropdown menu or for a second major, and I am lost on how to proceed.

Is anyone else applying for Harvard's JDP who wants to be in a groupchat?

So I've applied for GWU Early decision but there is a very slim chance I get in..

I wanted to also apply for GMU, but I'm at odds whether I should apply now regular decision or Early decision but in Jan (When I find out about GWU)

Am going to attend a T3. I'm very worried about the overenrollment issue and what it might mean for my employment. Should I seriously consider deferring for a year?

Hi all!

I am in the process of making my list of schools that I want to apply to in the fall and came across the trend that many schools with a highly ranked health law program are not ranked as high on the overall list. I am set on pursuing a career in health law, but I was wondering how much these rankings actually mean and if I would be put at a disadvantage in finding a job if I attend a highly ranked health law specific school that is not as highly ranked when compared to other schools overall. Thank you!

I am planning on graduating spring 2021. When I fill out the "Bachelor's Degree-Granting Institution" portion on the CAS, do I fill it out with the current/anticipated GPA and major, even though I haven't technically graduated and have 2 more semesters?

Thanks!

So I wanted to know if anyone has applied through a website based application like Wash U's before. I was recently invited to interview when I apply. I am interested in Wash U's program and responded that I would like to interview but I am still waiting on my CAS fee waiver to come through. They sent me the link to their website based application and asked me to apply there. I am currently still working on my PS and DS as well as waiting on LoR's. I am a super-splitter so they, along with my resume and grad school records will be very important. The website based application however does not ask for any essays except a Why Wash U essay. Has anyone used their site based app before? Do they later e-mail you and ask for the additional materials? My inclination would be that they would expect me to send them on pretty quickly and rather than allowing me to make a good impression in the interview while I prepare the rest of the materials they might A: want to know where those materials were and why they were not ready yet or B: go ahead and process the application without them. Both of those would not be ideal for my situation.

Does anyone have experience with this want to chime in? When did they ask for the additional materials? Was there a timeline to complete the application? I am inclined to email them directly but I need to be very careful not to sound either unprepared in the email or like I am putting them off for later because I am not actually that interested.

Hi everyone ! I already applied to law schools for this cycle and I have some free time today. If anyone wants me to edit their essays please message me. I would be happy to edit a few personal statements. My limit will be 4 so message ASAP if you want me to review for content, grammar, feedback etc. This is totally free by the way.

Hi! I am a third year (final year) undergrad student in India, and am looking to apply for admissions for Fall 2021/22. I was wondering whether the law schools in the U.S and Canada accept three year international degrees? I am at a NAAC 'A' graded school (rated in the highest tier in India) with a triple major and 120 credits scheduled to be completed by the time I graduate next year. Would I be eligible for admissions to law schools, more specifically the T14 schools?

Thank you!

I would be applying to law schools in Australia as an international student. Can someone tell me:

(i) What is the average LSAT score range for the three law schools?

(ii) Do I need an LSAT score as high as I normally would in the US?

(iii) Are international students evaluated at par with other candidates or is there a different criterion?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know what schools, if any, consider if you're an alumni of their undergrad?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to take this time to share my experience regarding study abroad transcript so hopefully you won't have to go through the same frustration. This is a very long story but I hope it gives some guidance.

I submitted my transcript to LSAC September of this year. I ignored it for a while and focused on arranging my school list, working on my personal statement, getting LORs, etc. It wasn't until October when I noticed something wrong. On my transcript tab, it said "1 of 2 transcripts received." Listed under the missing transcript was University of Richmond so I thought that they were referring to the school I did my summer study abroad. I called LSAC and asked if I needed to submit my transcript from my study abroad even though it was only for the summer. I was told yes, however, the answer didn't set right with me because I remembered specifically not having to because it was for less than a year.

On the LSAC website, it reads:

"Do NOT have a transcript sent from an international institution IF your bachelor’s degree is from a US, US territory/associated state, or Canadian school, and

the total amount of work you completed at all international institutions combined is equal to or less than the equivalent of one year of undergraduate study in the United States, its territories/associated states, or Canada, or

your work was completed through an overseas study program that was clearly sponsored by a US, US territory/associated state, or Canadian school. In this case, the transcript must be sent by the sponsoring school."

I called again to clarify because obviously, I was getting different answers. While on the call, I was assured that I did not need to send in my transcript because it was for less than a year. Also, there was a confusion because I attended Richmond University in London and NOT University of Richmond in Virginia. They said that they will make the correction.

A week passed and I still saw U of Richmond on my transcript tab. I called LSAC again. Apparently, on my undergrad transcript it said transfer credit from "RICHMOND UNI" and so whoever handles transcripts at LSAC just put U of Richmond. Great! Problem solved. No, not quite. Turns out that Richmond University in London is an accredited American school so I did still have to send in a transcript! I ordered them right away but I'm afraid that it will not get processed fast enough to meet the early decision deadline for the school I am applying to.

Long story short, if you studied abroad at an accredited American school, you still have to send in your transcript no matter how long you went there. Also, you have to keep bugging LSAC and sometimes it takes three to five calls in order to reach any solutions.

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?

Hi all,

One of my colleagues at work taught law school (at a school I don't plan on applying to) and can connect me with a professor at a school I do want to apply to (Georgetown). My instinct is that my colleague is a better choice since she knows my work better but should I ask that she incorporate that she taught law in her letter? Would it matter? Should I try to get a letter from both?

Hello,

Can anyone provide me feedback on my DS? I am also willing to do a timely exchange with you!

Thank you :)

Hi all — I have a question on the admissions process. I took the September exam and received a terrible score (in the low 140s), so I am planning on sitting for the November one. Ideally, my November score would be higher, but regardless, I’m committed to applying this cycle and given my career goals and situation, I am fine with going to a lower-ranked school. A little background about myself: I graduated from a strong liberal arts college in 2018 with a 3.8+ GPA and worked as a paralegal at a big law firm in downtown NYC for about a year following graduation — stopping early this summer to dedicate full-time studying for the LSAT.

Now to my question: am I allowed to apply to a couple of schools where I have a high chance of securing admission (Roger Williams, New England Law, Vermont Law, among others) with my September score right now — and then wait for my November score to apply to a different set of schools, assuming that my score is higher? The rationale for applying right now to lower ranked schools would be to take advantage of getting my app in early and to get a couple of acceptance letters, which would give me the peace of mind that I will be going to law school next fall. Does this rationale have merit or upside? (Would I even hear back from schools before December?) And will admissions at schools like Roger Williams frown upon that or not at all? Moreover, would they delay rendering a decision on my app since they know that I am taking it again and do not want to immediately accept me knowing full well that I won’t likely attend if my Nov. score is higher? As you can discern, I am in the process of processing my September performance and am concerned about admission. In addition, if I apply to a school right now/before my November test, will they wonder why I am applying at this moment, as I assume that they can see that I’m registered for November? Further, I plan to write an LSAT addendum, but if I were to apply before the November test, how would schools interpret that? Will they think: “Why is he writing an addendum when he only took it once and seems to be settling on such a dismal score?”

Any advice and insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
