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?

Will taking the January test impact my admission chances at schools in the 70-130 US News ranking range? And will it lower the amount of scholarship that I would have gotten with an identical resume if I'd applied in November? Thank you !

Very specific question. In undergrad I did pretty well my first two years with A/Bs and had approx 3.65 GPA. Fall of my junior year I got into a car accident that messed with me mentally. My grades for that Fall were three B+’s and one C+ that brought my GPA for that quarter to a 3.05 however in the remainder of that academic year (2019-2020) I studied and managed to get good grades that left me with my cumulative GPA as 3.60. After that my senior year I received straight A’s. This is the only quarter in which I received so many B’s and the only time in my undergrad that I received a C. I’ve heard that if it’s one bad grade that an addendum isn’t needed but I’m not sure.

Basically I’m not sure if the one C+ warrants me writing an addendum since my grades technically weren’t that bad considering what happened (although imo my grades were bad that quarter)

It seems silly and a straight no answer but I’m paranoid about doing the applications right and heard that addendums could hurt you if the school felt it wasn’t necessary

I want to apply this month since the earlier the better, but I feel I did better on my LSAT

My conundrum: I took the November LSAT yesterday and I was sick all day, including during the test. My brain was foggy and I blundered a logic game, which is usually my strongest section. Right now, I am weighing different probabilities. I estimate that i got between a -9 and a -15. If I got the -9 then my score will almost certainly go up, if I got the -15 it will go down, and if it is somewhere in the middle then it is a toss-up whether my score will go up or down. I care about my score going up because I really want a scholarship to target schools. However, if dropping would look bad enough that I may not be admitted at all, then I would prefer to cancel the score and keep a 168. Any thoughts?

Bought the one time edit and do not know where to upload it

So I took the LSAT in October of this year and I got a 155. I was scoring between a 156-161 during practice tests. I had a total freakout before the test and after it LOL.

I'm not upset with my 155, I just know I can score better than that and I wanna take the test for a third and final time in January, I'm just worried if that's too late. The earliest deadline I have for the law schools I want to apply to is March 1st.

Do you guys think I should just apply now with a 155 or try again in January for a higher score and tell law schools to wait for my January score?

Hi amazing people, I am wondering if I could submit my applications now and if the schools will receive my Nov score after it is released. On the application, they only ask if I will be taking another LSAT in the future, which is no. I want to make sure that the school will receive and review the newest score but still wanting to submit as early as possible. Any advice?

Many thanks!

I got a B while taking an ear training class filled with music majors while I had no musical experience at my community college before transferring, and a B in a music theory class. Is there really no way for me to avoid reporting these ridiculous, meaningless courses to LSAC?

My ear training course was a 1 unit course T_T

Would anyone be willing to trade 'Why X' essays or simply give mine read over?

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!

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!
