Hi,

Looking to exchange PS with some people. I also wrote a GPA addendum as well as a diversity statement if you are looking to swap those as well! Please comment below or PM me.

Thanks

Might be a dumb question but does this statement have to be written or can it be typed?

Hello,

Wanted to know what are my chances for going to UF with these scores (trying to get at least 165 for November)

I'm going to write an addendum on why my GPA is low due to my legal issues I had to not go to school

I'm Hispanic with DACA, along with EC of winning state championships for debate

Is it ok to email the school and tell them to use my Oct LSAT score even if they explicitly say that they will consider your application as incomplete if you're registered to take a future LSAT? Because my Oct score is enough for their school, but I'm also trying to get a better score for some other schools...

Does anyone know how to handle situations like this?

After PTing in the low to mid 160s, even a couple high 160's on my last 20 PT's, I have now failed to break 150 on both August and October LSAT. At this point i've lowered my test goal to a 154-155. I'm registered and scheduled to take my test in November but this would be the last test I am allowed to take until August 2022 due to lsac's rules. I am confused as to why this keeps happening especially when I felt so much more confident after my October test than august but I managed to score below my diagnostic score. Do I defer to January 2022 test or is that too late for this cycle?

I applied to 18 schools for this cycle and just sent my last one in yesterday. I have already received a "your application is complete email" from all of the schools, and some have already gone under review (some of the apps I sent in September and were on hold until the October LSAT scores went out). Has anyone received a decision this cycle? If so from what school?

I was wondering if law schools keep track of attendance at info sessions and/or use data mining to track demonstrated interest. Long story short, I registered for a virtual info session but had a last-minute emergency and couldn't attend - could this affect my chances when I apply? Not sure if I should send an email to admissions explaining my absence.

Random question. Do law school applicants who only take the GRE send a GRE addendum to law school programs? Or in other words, do law school admissions staff accept GRE addendum materials?

Hey yall! I have a 3.8low GPA and 175+ LSAT trying to get into SLS (and other t14s). 3.8low is a relatively good GPA, but it is still under many T14 medians. I honestly don't really have an excuse for some of my lower grades besides the fact that I did a bit of experimenting when I didn't know what I wanted to major in and got a few lower than ideal grades in math/sciencey courses. Is it stupid to ask them to please notice that my grades trended very high near the end of my undergrad career as I found what I wanted to major in or would they notice from my transcript? I guess my question is whether they will look hard at the transcript if my GPA is pretty good already (but not good enough to be at their medians). Thanks everyone ! Have a great day and good luck w apps!

Hi all! I hope everyone is kicking ass and making headway in slaying the formidable beast that is this exam! I have an application question that I'm hoping someone could shed some light on. Right now, I have a 166, a solid score, but I feel I can pull a 169 or 170 on the January test with a couple of months more of prep. In addition, I'm a non-traditional splitter plagued by 3 F's from my freshman year of college seven years ago. Since returning to college, I have brought my GPA to a 3.27 and will have a 3.4 by late December when the fall semester ends. Should I wait to submit my applications until I have the 3.4 and possibly the 169/170 from the January test? Or, should I submit my apps with the hope of getting waitlisted instead of rejected, and then have the opportunity later of showing them the improved stats to hopefully take me off of it?

Any feedback would be great!

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone can help me gain any information on my situation. I don't really have anyone who can give me advice.

I am trying to choose where to apply an ED, and I am between two schools. For school A, I am over their 75% LSAT by one point, but below their 25% GPA by .1 points. For school B, I am above their 25% GPA by .1 and above their 75% LSAT by 3 points.

I feel like I have a strong resume and a passionate PS/DS, but I don't know how much my lower GPA will affect me. School A is my top choice, but School B offers full tuition if you are admitted through ED.

Can anyone give me advice on the likelihood I could get into school A even being below the 25% GPA? I know its tough without seeing my resume, LORs, and statements. But hoping to get some insight because I am conflicted.

Thank you to anyone who can help!

A law school I'm applying to has an optional "Why law and Why X" essay.

I feel I can tie in my Why X reason into my personal statement.

Would it disadvantage me to include the Why X in the personal statement instead of writing a separate optional essay on the topic?

My cumulative GPA is 0.5 points lower than my average GPA according to the CAS report. Does anybody know whether law schools take this into account, or if it is something that should be brought up in my addendum? #help

Hi!Anyone interested in doing a personal statement swap? Ideally looking for someone who identifies as female.

Thanks!

I'm getting ready to submit my applications next week before November comes around. Does anyone want to swap resumes for last minute advice? Would be happy to look over anyones resume if they would do the same for me. Let me know (:

Hello everyone,

I am applying as a mature student. I have extensive experience in my field (21 years). My resume shows a rapid and steady climb to senior leadership positions. I am currently a professor in my field.

I am not sure how to approach the length of my resume submission. I am curious what people here think. I have curated the entries to highlight the most relevant aspects of the jobs I have held. I included provincial registrations related to my field as well as recent professional development initiatives. For the latter I stuck to ones that have relevance to either law or the mandates of the school I am applying to. I did include a summary of qualifications on the first page. That has also been carefully curated to showcase only those items that an admission committee may be interested in. With all that said, my resume is at three pages. I notice that most suggestions for law school resumes are one page. Given my extensive relevant experience I was aiming for two.

Should I try and cut a page? Should I leave it as is since I am in the mature category? What does everyone think?

Thanks!

I'm applying to law school next fall (for Fall 2023), but have already reached out to my former professors to ask for letters of rec since I've been out of school for a year and don't want them to forget me. If they submit their LORs to LSAC sometime in the next couple of months, would it look worse to admissions officers than if they waited until a little closer to next application cycle? I just wasn't sure if having LORs submitted too early could potentially weaken my application.

Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dilemma, should I apply early decision with my 154 to a school with 160 median (my gpa is almost perfect, but im international so for admissions it will not matter at all from what I hear), or should I attempt to retake LSAT in January. Working full-time so I am not sure my progress will be super impressive.

Has anyone used 7sage's editing services? I literally can't afford to spend more but would like to have feedback on your experience? I feel very insecure about my PS and DS and paid an inexpensive service of $80 to review my documents but maybe I'm just too nervous and overthinking the content of my documents but I'm unsure. I wish 7sage had some sort of payment plans or whatever :'(

I have a tutor that asked me a series of questions for brainstorming a personal statement. Essentially, it was what the most shitty things in my life were and then they suggested I make a personal statement around these things. This seems strange to me as some of these experiences aren't connected in anyway to the type of law I want to pursue. I've also heard that students shouldn't make their personal statements the "tragedy Olympics" so I feel uncomfortable about this advice. Thoughts?

I have a 170 with a 3.7 gpa, but am a transfer student and transferred into COVId, so I do not have any close relationships with any my Professor at my new school. What should I do?

Hi.

So I talked with my employer who is a lawyer who agreed to write me a letter of recommendation.

But she is asking me for specific information for the letter. I'm not exactly what she meant by specific information unless it's the link to submit it. Does anyone know? I kept looking around and tried to look into each law school if they had anything requiring anything for LoRs, but I'm not seeing anything.

Hi! I have an early decision deadline coming up pretty soon and am trying to get as much feedback on my personal statement as possible. Would love to help out anyone who would also like feedback on their PS! Message me and we can swap! :)
