Which one matters the most to schools? My degree is lower than my cumulative. I'm writing an addendum as to why that is, but I'm worried this discrepancy will hurt my chances of getting into my top choice :(

Thank you for your responses!

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 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?

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?

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.

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if applying in February after the January test would significantly lower my scholarship money offered at mid tier schools? Like if I get a 160 on the November test, and my top school has a median LSAT of 157, do you think I'd get more money at the normal deadline, or would retaking and getting a 163 in January put me in a better position to get more money at the same school? I probably won't retake if the majority of money is used by most programs by February. Thank you for your help.

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.

I interviewed with UVA a little over 2 weeks ago. It went well and they told me they'd get back to me "very soon." I've heard most people who are accepted to UVA get a phone call no more than a few days after the interview but I haven't heard anything. Really stressed over this... UVA is my top choice. Any words of wisdom?

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.

Would love is someone could take a look at my PS and/or DS. Please let me know : - )

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!

I recently scored a 158 on the October LSAT and am taking it again in January with the goal of 165. I know that you can only apply to a school once per year, so I am tempted to wait till after seeing my second score. But, I have also heard that some schools will delay their decision until your second score comes in. Thoughts?

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?

I applied to UVA less than a month ago and just got a waitlist email. I'm a splitter 172 LSAT/3.68 UGPA.

I read on Spivey that UVA interviews most applicants but I didn't get one.

Not freaking out about it but curious as to why this came so early. Anyone else get a UVA waitlist? Or a waitlist at a school super fast?

Am I allowed to use notes during the planning period to answer the questions? I'm thinking that possibly for some of the questions it might be helpful to look at some of my planned answers during the the 30 second planning period before actually answering.

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

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?

All apps have that question and obviously Dean's list etc goes on. What about awards and distinctions from extra curriculars? I mean things like sports disnitctions or maybe choir/drama like a special distinction or award for performing arts participation/commitment? Would it be reasonable to include those here?

Thanks in advance!
