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

I'm applying to UofT law and am struggling with the optional essay.

They recommend speaking about one of four suggested topics, but I'm struggling with selecting the one that fits best, as I already speak to my future ambitions in my personal statement.

One of the options is diversity. I'm of Lebanese origin and grew up in Dubai. Is there any way this would be an acceptable ground for diversity, or is it best to go with another topic?

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?

What're your guys' thought on NEU Law? General thoughts, advice, anything

would anyone be willing to review my personal and diversity statements? thank you in advance!!

I got a 163 LSAT in June but a 160 from September, what do admissions think about this and should I cancel? And regardless of whether I cancel should I wait another month to apply with a (maybe) better score, what if I had to cancel my score twice? Freaking out a little too much tbh

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 hope someone knows the answer to this question —

I am currently enrolled in a master's program (at a different school than that which I attended for undergrad), in which I have gotten straight A's. I know that graduate level courses do not count towards the LSAC's calculations of GPA. However, I have taken five undergraduate courses during the course of this program (4 were prerequisites and 1 is an elective language course). Will these undergraduate course grades count towards the calculation of my GPA when applying for law school?

If you don't get selected for an interview with Harvard, does that mean that you have been rejected?

Hi there. I've been hearing conflicting things about this topic. From what I've heard, as long as you don't completely mess up, there;s a very good chance of getting into a Biglaw firm upon graduation at a T14 schools. I've heard, too, that it is likely to get into a Biglaw position at any T50 school, though the drawbacks sometimes is that you are limited in a regional sense. For example, Boston College sent many many students to Biglaw firms, but mainly in the Boston area. Thoughts on this? Trying to decide, as someone who wants to get into Biglaw after law school, whether I should even consider applying to schools outside the T14 or not. I've just heard conflicting things.

I had drafted my essays for Yale in 11pt font prior to reading that they require 12pt. Anyone have a perspective on how much wiggle room their "approximately" language provides? Feel free to comment or just respond to the poll below.

Example directions are: "The optional essay should be approximately one double-spaced page, formatted in a professional 12-point font,"

Anyone else having trouble fitting their descriptions in on the electronic applications?? haha any advice?

Not sure if "taking a cut" is exactly how the policy works. I've heard having a BL summer associate salary will affect how you receive need-based aid, or that the salary is not fully yours.

I heard this a while back about Harvard and then again on social media a couple weeks ago about Harvard, YLS, and Stanford. I don't really know the specifics.

Does anyone know which law schools do this and how it works?

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.

Hi all!

Sorry to bother but I really want to ask what I should do if I want to visit a law school and visit a class in the law school. I know I can register a tour from their websites. However, a lot of law schools I want to visit do not provide chances to register for visiting a class.

I really want to visit a class and what should I do? Thank you so much if you guys can give me some suggestions!

Have a safe and happy winter break!

my permanent address will be changing next month but I am trying to request letters of recommendation sooner than that- once i update to my new address the address printed on the request form will be outdated- will that be a problem for my admission process?

Is there a wait period for a rejected application to a law school with rolling admissions? For example, if you apply in the fall and get rejected, can you reapply in the spring, or do you have to wait until the following calendar year?

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

I applied to all my schools by March 1st/4th but haven’t received a decision from several schools (they just say they’re completed/in review).

Should I contact their admissions office or does it look bad to ask them to look at my application?

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!

Hi all,

Question regarding study abroad grades. I was in undergrad at a Canadian university and studied abroad for one semester in France through my schools program.

In my transcripts these grades just show up as credits (signifying pass because it was pass/fail).

However, I do have the transcript for my actual grades (based on a scale out of 20).

Do these actual grades get calculated into my LSAC GPA? Does anyone know if I have to submit these grades?

I keep seeing mixed things online and cannot find a clear answer.

Please let me know!

Do you have to contact your verifiers and let them know you will be using them? (former employers)

Hello friends!

I am currently applying to a law school in little rock and there is a section that is required, titled, "Statement of Uniqueness." This section says to explain any distinct experiences that I have encountered in my life and how I have grown from those specific aspects. I am a little confused because this section also has an area where you can say, "this section does not apply to me." What should I do? I don't necessarily have some super distinct experiences in my life, so is this necessary?

All help is much appreciated.

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