Hi there,

I'm wondering if someone would like to have a look at my GPA addendum explaining why my GPA drop while I was in university. I did take one year off to do college for a year and I passed it and then another year off to do work. I did graduate last April 2020, however not the GPA I hoped for.

I'm more than willing to have a look at your essay in exchange for your kindness (maybe anything but a full PS draft for that paragraph lol, but if you also want to also look at my why school statement once I finish it ----).

Thanks in advance!

Currently purchasing CAS and wondering if any of you registered for CRS?

I applied to approx. 15-16 schools and heard back from about 5 so far. I just feel like this cycle is slow and brutal (Reddit is not helping my nerves lol). My anxiety is just through the roof as the weeks go on. I feel like I'm missing so many "waves" and it's freaking me out. On top of that, it sounds like a handful of the T20/T14 schools have increased their medians which means my stats, which would have been good last year, are now not so hot lmao 😥😪 Though know I shouldn't be complaining because I have gotten 2 acceptances so far, I just can't help but stress about the remaining. The 2 R's I received are also just tough to digest tbh. Basically, I hate this cycle and I am dying to hear back from the rest. Congrats to everyone who has gotten into their dream schools. And for those who didn't get their top choices, know that there are better things coming. keep your chin up. I'm there with ya.

Anyways, this is just a blatant rant post and if anyone else wants to rant in the comments, feel free to 🥲

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to the 7Sage team!

I couldn’t have been happier working with Christie and Susannah! They were incredibly helpful, professional, and generous with their time and advice. They went out of their way to make sure the experience was a positive one. I reviewed multiple admissions consulting organizations and spoke to multiple people. When I reached out to 7Sage and spoke with David, I knew I found the right team. From the start, 7Sage provided excellent resources and guidance throughout the process. They made the process as smooth and easy as possible, while still ensuring I had everything I needed and exceeding expectations every step of the way. They helped me put together a strong application package and I couldn't feel more confident in the end result. Really have nothing bad to say about 7Sage and Christie and Susannah in particular. A+, highly recommend! Thanks for making this experience that much better!

Last week I posted about my first decision where I got a full ride to one of my safety schools.

Today I got an email from another comparable safety school informing me that I was denied.

I am perplexed. The school that denied me only had my application for one week, which makes me very confused how they could reach a conclusion so quickly.

Even my reach schools haven't rendered denials (decisions) yet and the t14 schools I applied to have been in constant contact with me leading me to believe they are taking my application seriously.

While it is only one school - I am beginning to get fearful that this denial will is going to be a bleak forecast of things to come.

Does anyone have advice how to cope with this? It is quite disconcerning.

Okay so I’m uncertain if I should put a housing issue as a character and fitness problem. I hosted my boyfriend in my dorm for a week while he was waiting for the apartment he paid for to become open. It’s not on my record and was quickly resolved but I put it in character and fitness the first time I applied for law schools. Should I put it again or just disregard it?

Putting the finishing touches on some application components before sending them all in Feb 1 and would love some eyes on my work from people who don't know me. Would also be down to do personal statement edits as a swap for my Yale 250/resume, if that's what you want looked at!

P.S. My Yale 250 is about being part of the LGBTQ+ community so only looking to swap with people who y'know.... aren't homophobic LOL

Some discussion on reddit about getting emails from better tier schools 1-1.5 weeks before official score release - anyone have a similar experience?

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if I need to write an addendum because I cancelled my LSAT the first two times. I obviously plan on taking the LSAT again, and I do not plan on cancelling this time around. Also, are two cancellations going to look bad for me in the application process? My top choice is UVA, and I know I have a long way to go to achieve an acceptable score for the school, but I was just wondering if this would come back to haunt me, especially for a t-14 school. Thank you!

Hi guy, a few years ago I attempted to study and take the LSAT, but ultimately I ended up no doing it. Ill just say I lost the motivation to do so. Now I currently work for NBC as a financial Analyst, I love my job and all that we do but I cant get the need to apply to law school out my head has it has always been my goal. my biggest concern now is what will the law schools think of my resume as it is build to gain a job in finance. I have worked both for JP Morgan, Comcast and now NBC universal and I have no Law experience. do you think this will hinder my chance at getting into law school. So far I have 2 degree with a year or 2 apart from different university BA in Psychology -GPA 3.2 from LIU and BS in Finance- GPA 2.9. And if you guys don't think I'm crazy what is a score I should aim for with those type of gpa and work experience .

I am currently in my final semester of undergrad and am applying to law school as well. I am a psychology and sociology double major and only need two classes to graduate because I already fulfilled majority of the requirements prior to senior year. I am currently underloading with 3 classes but was also thinking of dropping one class because I am not that interested in it (we have until Feb 1st to drop classes without a 'W'). My dilemma though is whether law schools will not like the fact that I am taking only 2 classes in my final semester, and I was wondering whether they prefer a slightly more rigorous senior year course load?

Hi all. One of my applications requires me to list the other schools I'm applying to. Does anyone have insight on how this will impact their decision? (it's required, not optional)

Hi guys,

I was wondering your opinion on optional statements? Should I submit one when given the chance? I realize I am very late in the application process so I didn't know if this would help or not. I realize this is likely a case by case consideration, but I was wondering if there are any hard and fast rules surrounding the statements. Thanks!

Can someone direct me to where the video of the "Letter of Intent" is located on the course syllabus? I thought I bookmarked it but I can't find it. Also if anyone has tips for what should essentially be included I would appreciate it! (Just to be clear this letter is the letter you include in your application for admission into Law school.

Using the predictor here on 7Sage, I have a 56% chance as it stands now of getting into the school I want most... Is this good enough? Should I shoot for a higher LSAT to increase my chances with this school and other schools or apply now and cross my fingers? Please let me know!

I'm currently a second semester senior at my undergraduate university. My university offers a program to "senior underload" where you can take fewer than the required number of credit hours your last semester if you don't need the additional credits to graduate. I am planning on applying to law school in one or two years and was wondering if anyone knew if underloading would look bad on my transcript for top law schools? I don't know why it would because it just saves money (pay reduced tuition) and time but someone (unqualified) once told me that it would seem like you were slacking on courses so I'm really not sure what to think! I would appreciate any insight or advice!

hi, I'm an international students from asia. I have some questions regarding t14 chances.

my gpa is both superior and above average, because i transferred from my previous school.

my previous school(poli-sci) : 4.24/4.5 - superior

my current school (econ) : 3.55/4.3 - above average

I'm curious about my chances of going into T-14. which score should i get in Lsat if i wanna get admissions from T-14?

thanks!!

I just took the January LSAT this past week. Scores don't come out til Feb. 3. Is applying this late to schools going to drastically decrease my chances of getting in? Should I wait until the next cycle or is it worth it to still apply now?

I am still on cloud nine, but I got my first admissions notification today.

In addition, to being accepted, I was awarded a full scholarship!

I am not a traditional applicant - it has taken me 9 years to finish my undergraduate degree and my GPA is sub 3.0 - when I first took the LSAT in 2017 I scored a 143.

Had it not have been for 7sage I would never have been able to increase my score so drastically and I doubt I would've been even seriously considered at any law school.

I never once entertained the idea of getting a scholarship - I thought that I would be lucky if any law school would look past my GPA and the various academic probations and dismissals that went along with my nine year journey.

Thank you to the whole 7sage team and especially my editor Ethan!

I wouldn't be here without you all.

I am currently a junior in undergrad and plan to volunteer with the AmeriCorps for a couple of years after graduation. As a result, I'm not totally sure how to go about obtaining/asking for letters of recommendation. Is it reasonable to ask a couple of my undergrad professors if they could go ahead and write me letters of recommendation and just save them for a couple of years? Would it be better to ask them to write a letter of rec now and ask if they could update it in a couple of years when I need it? I just don't want to get two or three years out of a professor's class then ask them to write me a letter because I know they may struggle to remember specific details. Any response/assistance is appreciated, as I have no idea how to go about this!

I couldn't have done it without the LSAT prep materials and the 7sage admissions advisor, Elizabeth Cavallari's help; to be able to go to law school debt-free and stay near my family is one of the best gifts in the world

Hello everyone!

I was just curious if resume matters for top law school admission. I'm still studying LSAT, but just wondering if it is important. Without many/outstanding working (or internship) experiences, does it matter to get into good law schools?

(I know.. hard numbers like LSAT score and GPA are obviously more important.. haha)

Thank you!

When is it appropriate to add optional statements? For example, the Rutgers application has an option to upload additional documents about work experience, volunteer experience, anything to add to your application.

I feel like everything is covered in my application, personal statement, and resume. Is it bad that I don't add anything extra? Feel like it would just be listing my resume all over again.

How did you describe academic honors on your application (dean's list specifically)? There is not enough room to write what I want, so wondering what other people put?

Hi all, I have completed a number of applications but, for various reasons (including an upcoming amazing employment opportunity, the fact that I submitted most applications less than a month ago, the fact that I'd need significant scholarships, and an LSAT score near the lower of my PTs) I am considering withdrawing those applications and reapplying for the 2021 cycle if the employment opportunity does not come through.

I understand that that withdrawing after acceptance can be seen quite negatively if you later reapply, but I'm wondering whether the same would be true for withdrawals made prior to any decision. Anyone have experience of this, or thoughts? Any advice would be appreciated.
