Hi guys. I just wanted to make a post to end my 7sage career. I took the LSAT twice, cancelled in August, was apart of the crowd that got messed up in October and ended up getting a lower end 160. I was devastated and thought I wouldn't get into any schools. I ended up getting into Georgetown yesterday after applying at the beginning of November. I guess I post this to let everyone studying know that things are going to work out even if you don't think they will. Best of luck to everyone :)

Also what should be the minimum LSAT score required to get in? Is it possible to get in with a 150s? Could anyone share their personal experience wherein they got selected with such scores?

Thanks!

I have both my LSAT and GPA registered with LSAC and have been getting a bunch of emails from schools with waivers. Some schools are prestigious. Are these schools actually interested in me or do they send to everyone?

Does anyone have any experience or tips on negotiations? I have a 50% scholarship offer from a school that I would be considered in-state. So I would only have to pay 15k a year. I have another offer from a different school out of state. They offered only 10k in scholarships. The out-of-state school has better ranking, and location. I think it might be better for my career. So how do I get them to increase their offer? Or could I get them to increase their offer?

My LSAT score jumped 19 points. From a 157 in June to a 176 in November. There were a few factors to why I scored so low in June compared to Nov (Exam day after finals week, loud college town, my room was 90 degrees, etc.) but more than anything I just wasn't ready. would explaining that i was exhausted from finals week be a good enough reason to explain the score jump? Also should I mention my cancelled score from April in my addendum?

Thanks for any help!

Hi, everyone!!

Not sure if anyone would be interested in having a discord group or groupme chat to help proof-read personal statements? Just wrote my first draft and would love to get some feedback. I am sure others are on the same boat! Please reach out if interested!

My freshman year I had an incident with drinking and got on probation with my school. I just called the office of student conduct to ask if it would show up on my transcript or any materials that get sent to law schools. They told me no and that the only time they report an incident to a school is if they reach out for a "background check sort of thing." Even in that case, they only report "major" incidents. I asked if probation is considered a major incident and he said no. To clarify even further I asked if my probation would be reported to law schools if they reached out and he said "no probation isn't considered a major incident."

Based off his answers, I don't think I need to write an addendum. I'm just so worried that somehow law schools will find out and in the case I didn't write one, I'm screwed. On the other hand, if I write one and they don't find out, I also screwed myself. I know you're supposed to write an addendum about any incident you had, but if it's not being reported, do I need to? I really don't know what to do here. I don't want to write about a drinking incident if I don't have to. But I also don't want it to bite me in the butt.

After I finished a post bac program in 2020, I asked two of my professors to write me a letter of recommendation for law school, and they did. For various reasons I postponed my application to law to school and will now be applying in Fall 2022. Will these letters be too old? I also asked my current employer for a letter of recommendation, which will be submitted in a few weeks.

Thanks!

We want to keep our compilation of interview questions current. If you've had a law school interview in the last three months, please post an account of it below. Include the school, all the questions you can remember, and anything else relevant.

We'll pick one poster by lottery for a free Edit Once. We'll also include the account on our interview page.

Thanks for your help in keeping this free resource up to date!

For my application, there are two sections: disciplinary action and addendum. The disciplinary action question reads: "Have you ever been subject to disciplinary action for academic or other reasons in any of the colleges, universities, graduate, or professional schools you have attended"

Long story short, I dropped out of college a long time ago, received three academic probation in a row, and was academically dismissed. Does this count as disciplinary action, or do I talk about this for the addendum section?

Howdy, working on an application that asks if I have ever been dismissed, discharged, or requested to resign from my employer. I currently have it listed on my resume that I was part of a mass covid layoff, but should I also/only write it here? Thinking I'm probably not alone here. :D Thanks!!

I am applying this month as a URM 3.47/169, though I feel that If I try again on September I get a better chance. But is this allowed?

Hi Folks,

If you are in the same shoes as mine, let's just pat on our shoulders and encourage each other.

I am in a few weeks throwing my cast to a wider net of law school ocean, and 7page predictor rates are just a painful slap in the face. I cannot sleep with nightmares that I will receive 0 acceptance letters.

My NOV Lsat score did not move a budge from the disappointing Aug score after months of studying. I am taking my final shot in Jan but not hopeful..

I have finalized my PS (finally) and Resume, and biting my nails off to finish my DS, which I have underestimated how difficult it is to succinctly convince that I can bring any kind of diversity to the community. I wish I had started sooner.

I already feel so behind the cycle and every minute a spot I dont even have a high chance is being taken.

I am just suffering from low confidence that my package is just not competitive enough, which makes me hold on to it, but only to waste precious time.

Anyone experiencing the same anxiety at this point of time, how do you cope?

Hi- I'm a non-trad with work experience, parenting-related work break, etc... I am only interested in two local schools for their weekend program (I'm in NJ) because of family duties. So I definitely need the unlimited edit PS help; I'm wondering if I'll get advice regarding other questions I have, like the content of my resume, whether I should delay applying until the next cycle, whether my background would be suitable for a diversity statement... those kinds of things.

Hi all, any advice on how to explain an uneven academic performance throughout an undergraduate degree? My story is a rather complicated one and not easy to tell in a short paragraph, so I'm trying to figure out how to concisely convey necessary information while not being able to point to linear growth? Appreciate any advice.

I wanted to write a PS that details abuse I suffered during childhood. Is this too much for admissions committees/will they report it to anyone? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I just want everything on my application to go well.

For the question that asks "are you a first generation college student' or "are you the first one in your family to get a bachelors degree", I am confused if it asking in America or anywhere overall? Might be a dumb question but I thought it was important to check as colleges in the country I am from are not comparable to colleges or even fancy high schools here lmao.

Thank you 7 Sage and I am blessed for a wonderful community!

Background: Becoming an attorney was a dream and my goal and I knew this was not an easy one since I struggled with standardized testing. I applied to law schools years ago and was not successful. Despite a long journey with the LSAT, I tried again and found 7 Sage and improved from 135-151. At last! Even though 151 is my fourth score on file, I am grateful to land in the 150s.

I would like advice on whether or not I should apply ED to a school 157-163 range with a 151 score. Median is 161 and 157 is 25th percentile. Or should I apply regular? Undergrad GPA range is 3.38-3.81

Context: I'm URM, been out of undergrad for three years, masters degree, involvement on campus/community, pro-bono legal work, undergrad GPA: 3.53 (Major: Political Science), and worked during undergrad and graduate school.

The LSAT is a process, and I call it MT LSAT. Believe in yourself!! Keep on going and swim to the finish line! :) Cheers!

Hi all. Looking for some advice about possibly retaking the LSAT for a 4th time in January. My top choice is University of Toronto. My stats are 164 LSAT and 3.96 CGPA. Im above their median GPA and below the LSAT median. (UofT’s 25th percentile LSAT is 165 and median is 168. 75th percentile GPA is 3.93 and median is 3.88).Given this, I’m wondering about my chances and if I should retake the LSAT a 4th time. They need not wait for the later scores to review your file, they review with scores already on file. If your score is competitive, they’ll go ahead and make an admissions decision and if not, they’ll reassess when they have a new score. Any advice on whether these stats are competitive or if it’s worth it to retake? Thank you!!

I know that GPA addendum's are supposed to short but I believe I have legitimate concerns

2.A. I stayed in my house during periods of DACA expiration, Broward College didn't give me accommodation as an "undocumented illegal" for turning in work late/online (this was in 2014 - 2016)

Second question: Does DACA help out in diversity to increase chances?

So like many others, I didn't do too hot on November's test. I was interrupted several times during the LG and RC sections and even filed a complaint that LSAC completely ignored. So as disappointing as it is, I at least know that that test wasn't indicative of my best performance, and I know that I can do great in January. However, I wanted to apply in December, which means I'd have to apply with my current score. I've heard that if I apply now and retake in January, my application will have still counted as being sent in December even without a final score. Is this true? I'd really like to be able to do this so I can submit my applications early and then spent the next month grinding on for January's test.

I do not want school that I applied to take my upcoming test into consideration, I do not want them to delay the response because of that. Will LSAC notify my school that I registered for a new test?

Whats the general rule of thumb when it comes to being in school's median and gpa when it comes to acceptances and denials. No C&F issues. Just curious. Anxiety is killing me. Applied in September, still waiting on response.

I already applied to three law schools and they asked for a list of other law schools to apply to. I gave the list and then after submission, I decided to apply to more. Do I have to notify those law schools I already am planning to apply to them as well?
