So I missed my Oct test, (my fault PST vs CST) I total miss read the time and when I logged in it was too late.What is the consequences on my application for missing an exam? I will schedule to take it on January again.I called LSAC and they said I can't do anything about it. How will this effect my chances of get into LS?

I am planning to apply to a T140-150 tier Law school and even with a high LSAT score of like 160, would that be enough for me to enter there? Thanks.

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?

Hello,

I'm wondering where the best place is to discuss a Senior Thesis on a résumé. I am planning to place this in my education section, but I'm struggling with how much detail to include in the description or if I should place it in a different section altogether.

Obviously, no admission committee is going to take the time to read such a long piece of text, but can anyone offer advice on how to highlight the work done in academic research? Thank you!

I applied to CLS/Chi quite a few times about 3-5 years ago, last time in 2019-2020 cycle.

I used PS-1 the first time and a different PS-2 in later apps over a few years.

Since then my score has expired and I retook this Oct.

All my other application material (Recs, Resume etc) is pretty much the same. I can't get another rec from elsewhere.

Is it ok to reuse the PS, or do I need to write an entirely "fresh" one?

What if I reuse PS-1 which wasn't the latest PS i reapplied with earlier, how much difference would it make compared to writing a new one?

I applied to HLS/CLS/Chi a few times, but since then my score (171) has expired and I retook this Oct.

I wrote a new PS for this cycle (using partly on my previous apps' PS) that's based on my long work-ex in tech industry.

Would be interested to know the feedback from those with law school experience.

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

I've just finished my resume and really need someone who could give me a proofread. Have been asking around but none of my friends have any experience with applying for a US law school. Really insecure about the resume. Don't know if it is what the law school ask for.

Would someone be willing to review my resume? Much appreciated!

Hi all. I've been sending my emails to this email address of USC Law admissions@law.usc.edu, but have not receive any reply so far. Could you please share the email address that they're using? Thanks.

If you review either of my personal statement or diversity statement (open to other essays), I'll do the same for you! Looking for honest reviewers with strong writing skills!

Just received my November LSAT score and definitely did not do as well as I hoped. I scored about 10 points under what I as PTing which is extremely frustrating. Some of the schools I was looking at are a bit out of reach now. I plan on retaking in January but is it worth it to try applying to some schools if I am over their median/75th percentile GPA but now barely making the 25th percentile on their LSAT scores? Or should I just wait until I retake in January?

Hi everyone!

Can someone please read my GPA addendum? I'm just talking about my first-year grades. I promise its short!

Thanks,

Recently a school reached out to me and requested transcripts for a Paralegal certification course I took after college. The course is two separate 7-week classes. However due to finals and my legal internship I did not take them back-to-back which is why I correctly put 05/21 to 10/21 on my resume. I have two pieces of evidence to prove this. The transcript shows 05/21 to 08/21 because I guess they just count it as two consecutive courses.

I'm conflicted about if I should reach out to admissions or not. On one hand I feel like it might not be a huge deal but on the other hand I feel like if they admissions committee thinks I'm just outright lying on my resume for no reason it can jeopardize my acceptance chances.

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

I'm taking the January LSAT but already applied to all my schools, indicating on the apps that I'll be taking the future January LSAT (so presumably they're holding my application until the Jan. score comes in).

But in the hopefully avoidable event that my January LSAT score is lower than my present score and I decide to cancel it with score preview, will law schools automatically know that I cancelled my Jan. score and proceed with review or will they still hold my application, expecting Jan scores to come in? Am I supposed to update them that I cancelled my score or does LSAC send a report?

Hi all,

I received another letter of recommendation on LSAC after I had already submitted my report with LSAC. I want to include this letter, but am unsure if LSAC will send it after the report was already sent. Does anyone know if LSAC will send the new letter to the schools I have already applied to? I have not received a decision from any of the schools as of yet.

Hey everyone,

So, I studied abroad twice, earning a total of roughly 30 credits. I studied abroad in two different countries with programs administered by two different (U.S. based) organizations The grades I earned studying abroad show up on my transcript and have been factored into my GPA, however, they are still noted to be off-campus programs.

Will my study abroad grades be factored into my LSAC GPA?

Thank you!

I've applied to four law school in the Illinois/Indiana region back in late November and still haven't heard back from any of them (despite a huge range in rankings for these schools), not even an indication on when they might make their decision or reach out to me... Nothing.

Should I be concerned?

Would one W on my transcript taint my applications - particularly for t-14 schools?

If you don't know what the title of this post means, I've got good news! This change won't affect you at all. It will only make your life on 7Sage a bit simpler.

If you use our Admissions site, heads up! We're folding the Admissions Site into the LSAT site, and for the time being, there's a new way to navigate to the Admissions Course.

So I've heard multiple people say that because of the economic state that this coming cycle (open in fall 2023) will be absolutely packed. Does anyone else agree/disagree?

Hello guys, I'm having trouble understanding my GPA since my school (the one in South Korea) doesn't belong to any categories that CAS LSAT GPA Calculator provides. How would you interpret the grading system as follows?

A+(95~100) - 4.5

A0 (90~94) - 4.0

B+ (85~89) - 3.5

B0 (80~84) - 3.0

C+ (75~79) - 2.5

C0 (70~74) - 2.0

D+ (65~69) - 1.5

D0 (60~61) - 1.0

F (0~56) - 0

Any suggestion or information regarding my question would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi all! I have created a discord for 2023-24 applicants in order for us to have discussions, review essays, and be positive sources for one another. I know not everyone has someone that is going through this process and understands, so I hope this provides that space! Feel free to join, assign some school roles, and say hey. :) https://discord.gg/Bm47a62W

Can I reapply as first-year student if I’m already attending law school?
