Does anyone know how long it takes for an ID and password to be emailed to me by a school after completing my applications. I just completed them so I am not expecting them ASAP, but I was curious as to how long this takes so I can check the status of my application. Thanks!

Do I have to include my canceled lsat on my application? Or do I only have to include my scored LSAT.

Hi! I submitted my applications but I'm planning on retaking the LSAT in January. I would like to be considered with my current score to take advantage of having an earlier application. Do schools look at it negatively when you ask them to review your current score? I'm worried that my target/safety schools will see it as a sign that I'm prioritizing other schools and I'm not sure what to say in the email.

Not sure if this is a thing on these forums, but is anyone interested in swapping personal statements for feedback? I'm looking for general feedback plus a quick check for typos and am happy to do the same for someone else.

Hey everyone,

Has anyone recently had an interview at UChicago, and if so, do you have any tips for what kinds of questions to prepare for? I have seen previous lists of interview questions, but they all appeared to be from several years ago, so I was wondering if anyone had more recent info. Thanks!

Hi all! I am taking the LSAT in February 2021 and am applying for Fall 2021. I checked the application deadlines and many schools I am looking at are not due until May/June/July, but do you think taking the test in the same year as applying has implications to admission, other than less time to raise my score? Thank you!

So I took the November LSAT for the first time and scored a 159. I had been studying part time after work and on the weekends since mid June, so I probably put in a solid 3-4 months of study for about 8-10 hours a week. I was scoring 161-163 in practice tests and feel that I could still improve. I feel like I'm under too much pressure to apply this cycle but am worried about waiting another year due to my age.

Been working full time the last 4 years in project management in commercial construction.

Does anyone have any thoughts or have been in a similar situation?

hey everyone, i had a question about writing an addendum in regards to your lsat score.

if you have a score that is 90th percentile or above, but you do not meet the median for the school to which you are applying (for example if you are applying to it as a reach school) is it acceptable to write an addendum? or would that seem like you are just making up a reason for not meeting their median?

thank you :)

How do you find out when a decision had been made for your application? Like do you have to keep checking your application status or will they email you/send a letter?

Hello 7sagers!

I will be hosting two of my favorite classmates at Northwestern, Rachel Corella and Jordan Gerlach. We will be talking about targeting T-14 schools without a score in 170's. We will also be happy to share our experience as 1L's at Northwestern, but we will not taking any specific LSAT questions.

I am really honored and excited to have them speak to all of you.

Can any International student, share his/her experience of going through WES evaluation. I have heard stories of WES dropping down the CGPA by a great margin. I have got 82 percent in my undergraduation, any guess on what would the GPA look like on 4.0 scale?

Question1:

I have interned for 2 Republican state senators. I am applying to schools in more democratic areas. Should I include the names of the senators that I worked for?

Question 2:

I took classes that I think could make me look more diversified. Such as Gay and Lesbian Politics, Women and Politics, and Urban Politics. Should I include these?

Question 3:

One of my internships was part of a competitive university program. I have listed the name of the program as the title for my internship on my résumé. Should I also explain what the the program is? Or should I just list the duties involved?

And help would be great!

I would highly appreciate it if someone was willing to read my personal statement and give feedback. I'm kind of lost as to what exactly I should focus on.

Hi everyone!

I was planning on writing a diversity as I am an Indian/South Asian woman who grew up in a US community without many other asians. I'm going back and forth on writing it.

For context, my parents immigrated to the US and my sis and I were raised here. There is a lot I could write about in terms of culture and race and how it has contributed to who I am. But I wonder how adcom perceives diversity statements from Asians/South Asians?

I know they say write about diversity in any way you see fit, but I guess I'm hesitant to write something they won't appreciate regardless.

And of course, I believe that asian heritage is extremely unique, I'm just trying to think not only of my perspective, and to hear folks' thoughts.

To write, or not? And if so, any tips from folks who have written them?

Thanks everyone!

Just got november score back. Did well enough to the point where I'm at the LSAT median of my goal school. If I apply ED right now while scheduled to take the January test, will my app be bumped back/hurt?

I have a question about my LSAT score. I have some bad previous scores on the record, which is 1/13/2020 146—>May 2020 150—>October 2020 154—> November 2020 172. I have a huge increase from October to November which makes me worried that will law school admissions will think my November score is suspicious? My October test has tech issues and was interrupted by Proctor U during the exam but I didn’t cancel because at least it will better than 150, which is my May score. Usually my PT range is around 165. In November, I think I did very well and questions are all standard. Is it enough just add an Addendum to explain this situation? Or do I need to retake in January to prove that my score is not just an accident, but I think it might be late to apply and lost scholarship opportunities. I will be very appreciated if you reply! Thank you so much !

Northeastern states that your personal statement should be no longer than 2 pages and that your optional statement should be no more than 1. My personal statement is currently 2 and a half pages and my optional statement is one page and a few lines on to a second page. Will it look bad for me to not follow the directions and submit these, or will admissions people not care?

Hi! I got an email from Washington inviting me to a virtual interview. I scored higher than their L75 and have a 3.92 GPA. I'm pretty worried about my performance in interviews. Will they get mad and reject me because I decline the interview?

Also, does this mean I'm doing bad in my essays? Many thanks.

I didn’t ask him to but one of my recommenders sent me the letter that he submitted for me. In the letter he says things like “she will excel at any law school she attends” and “it would be a mistake for any law school to not accept her” which make it sound like a good letter to use for all schools. However, he works at Harvard law school and in the letter he said “I would love to be able to have her in my class again at Harvard Law School”. Can I still submit this to all law schools? My numbers make it very unlikely that I will get into Harvard law school and my top choice is BC. Will it be bad for BC to know I am also applying to Harvard?

hi, if anyone had insight i had a question.

if i were to apply with my current score by december to schools i believe i can get into, but wanted to retake in january, would those schools hold off on looking at my application? because i do want to apply now but am thinking about retaking in january to see if i can get a higher score to potentially negotiate scholarships. is this something i can email schools that i am interested in and ask them about? do you know if it is possible for me to ask them to review my application as is with my current score and not wait for my january result?

thank you!

Hi all,

Canadian LSAT taker here.

So my first LSAT score wasn't really ideal (154) and I'm hoping that with the help of 7Sage this time I can get a better score. My question is, do you see any harm in applying this cycle given the fact that the application deadline for my top choice is on Dec 2nd? Even if I get a good score, do I even have a chance or is it too late since admission offers are sent out on a rolling basis?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ❤️

My June-Flex score was a 167, my most recent november was a 156. I was really sick on the day of the test, but based off of what everyone said on forums that I looked up everyone was just saying don't cancel it or whatever. Could this significantly hurt my chances at some schools? I'm applying to some top 20 schools. Also would writing an addendum help in this situation?
