Thank you for your responses!

I am currently putting together my resume for admissions and I am pretty much done with all of the content, however, the format of my resume is very boring black/white. Do you think this will have a significant impact on admissions or does resume format not really matter for these kinds of applications?

All my super-splitter (or reverse splitter) friends out there, I just realized that Wash U now has a redacted LSAT and redacted GPA application. This, in theory would be wonderful for me. I got straight A's all through grad school, which usually doesn't matter since only undergrad GPA is looked at, and a 174 on the LSAT which don't pair well with a sub 3 undergrad GPA.

I wonder though, despite their claim that they'll evaluate the application holistically without regard to the redacted component if it might have an impact on scholarship opportunities. Does anyone have any knowledge of other schools doing this? Did scholarship money continue to flow? @studentservice any thoughts?

Has the admissions predictor been very recently updated? I put in some numbers today and got very different results for some schools than I did earlier this week with the same numbers.

Hello everyone,

I've been putting together my addendum to explain why my CAS GPA is so much lower than my UGPA, and I'm finding it difficult to condense my addendum anymore than I have. Its only three paragraphs, but its almost one full page double-spaced. So many samples I've seen are super short! Is one page double spaced too long for something like this? I believe I've cut to the chase and have not included any unnecessary language or details, yet its still one page.

Is one page acceptable?

Hi!

What is the best way to answer the question "Are you applying, or have you applied, to other law schools? If so, please list them."

Is it better not to answer?

Thank you!

Hi all,

I got my October score back and it was a pretty big increase from my previous take (over 15 points). Is it advisable to write a LSAT Addendum? There's a lot of conflicting or old advice so I thought I'd check in here! Thanks.

Just submitted my applications and have not received any emails with credentials to check my application status. How long does this usually take and can you check decisions on LSAC? Thanks!

I applied ED and application went complete about 10/28. Was just invited for a group interview today. Does anyone know how a Georgetown interview usually goes? Formal or informal? Insanely nervous in a good way. Want to be as prepared as possible.

So on law school applications you have to fill out your LSAT score but what do you do for cancelled scores? Just fill in the date and leave the score field blank? Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm meeting with the senior dean of admission from William and Mary today and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what I should ask. I have a list of questions about things I'm interested in (culture, clinics/programs, etc.), but if anyone has anything they think would be worth asking let me know. If you have a question of your own I will even ask it and get back to you with the answer.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I recently scored 169 (95th percentile) on the October lsat and my GPA is 3.8. I just got an email inviting me to apply from freaking Yale of all places. I know those are good credentials, but I was barely considering applying to the bottom of T14, so I was shocked to receive even a generic email from Yale. So, do we think that they might be widening up the applicant pool this year? Maybe we’ll end up having a lucky admissions cycle. What do you guys think?

I just wanted to double check but a cover letter is not required for resumes unless it is specifically asked for, correct?

I understand it’s the 50th percentile. Some schools have weird numbers thought. GWU has a range of 159 (25th percentile) to 167 (75th percentile). But for some reason their median is a 166. How is the median one point from the 75th and 7 points from the 25th. Shouldn’t it be 163?

I don’t get it lol. Can someone explain?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a personal statement tutor? Are there any companies you recommend?

Has anyone else applied ED to Georgetown or plan to do so? The website indicates that if you apply ED you should have a decision within 4 weeks!

My application at Uni of Maryland has been in review since September 3. It is now November 5th and I'm wondering if this is normal? I don't think it should take 2 months to read an application but has anyone else experienced this?

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone could help me out here. I have two very different GPAs, one is a 3.77 UGPA and the second is a 3.62 CAS GPA. Does anyone know if the schools look at both GPAs or do they only look at the CAS GPA? Thank you all and good luck applying.

I want to go to flex law school (part-time online) because I am in my 30s and already had an phd degree. But I heard law firms usually do not want hire a lawyer with a part-time law degree. They won't treat my flex JD seriously.

In these hectic cycle, will not needing loans/scholarships give you a boost at all? Basically, if you are lucky enough to have someone to pay for law school full freight, does that give you an advantage? For example a 170 and a 3.7 GPA for a t-14 law school, does that matter at all? My cousin acts like its a huge deal

Thoughts? App would be complete on Dec 1 when scores are released --

Hello everyone,

Because my CAS GPA (3.12) is so different from my GPA from my university (3.69), I will be needing to attach an addendum. The culprit behind this difference are my grades from community college. Putting it bluntly, I was still very much a child and I had not yet learned how to be a proper student, and although I had retaken the GPA sinking classes with my worst grades in community college, it still looks dreadful on my transcript. My grades from the university I later transferred to are very good and speak for themselves. and I never even got a C!

I'm wondering if anybody else has a similar dynamic going on, and what's the best approach this on the addendum. I don't want it to sound like a list of excuses, but neither of my parents went to college and I didn't even learn what a GPA was until I was placed on Academic Warning, I was forced to move out at 18 and worked, and as I mentioned before, it took me some time before I caught my rhythm.

I received my Oct LSAT score and it was a 151 (PTs were 155-160). This was my 4th time taking the LSAT, and I'm stuck on whether I should apply early or retake in January and apply with the January score. My LSAC GPA is a 2.8, I'm a urm, and will have 2 years of experience by the time I start next fall. Any advice would be appreciated!

I had applied to a couple of schools and one of them changed my application status to “incomplete.” I have one LSAT score already and they made a note that it is incomplete because I am retaking the LSAT in November. I know my application will not be reviewed until the status is “complete” and I am

assuming that the fact that they would not review it yet means that I probably would not have gotten in with my current LSAT score? Is it worth reaching out to admissions? Does my incomplete application status essentially mean it was pointless to submit my application early?
