With your acceptance to UCLA, congratulations by the way, you could probably get them to take that stipulation off completely but nonetheless it seems like a great offer.
If you have a US News account, or there may be other sources but I'm not sure, you can check what percentage of students each law school offers greater than half but less than full tuition, full, and greater than full tuition scholarships too which may help in getting a better idea of just how good their offer was relative to every one else they offer. Sadly some law schools don't give out full tuition scholarships :(
@roystanator440 Thank you that does help :) I can't seem to find anything on their website about class GPA's or scholarship retention. Hopefully that info will be in the acceptance packet or contract.
@35684 That's what I'm leaning towards and as far as I know the only string attached is a minimum GPA requirement. I haven't receieved the actual contract in the mail yet though so I'm not 100% sure - I've just got an email.
Thank you :) No I wouldn't mind working in the region. It says 70% are employed 10 months after graduation with 58% of those working in law firms, 21% in business, 10% in government, and 8% in judicial clerkships.
I have just receieved a full tuition offer from a law school ranked outside of the top 100 nationally however this school is well regarded in its region and is relatively close to where I live. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Its unlikely they'll be released on a national holiday although I hope they do, anyways I'm betting on tomorrow because they're usually released before the projected dates. Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans!
What are the pros and cons of both? Which is the better choice as a career stepping stone? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to decide between two law schools and the only real difference between them is that one places considerably more graduates in judicial clerkships and less governmental positions than the other
The professor I'm going to ask took a job at his alma mater 7 hours away so I can't ask him in person anymore. What is the procedure for asking for a letter of recommendation by email? For example what forms, information, etc. should I send to him and does he send the LoR directly to LSAC if he chooses to write it?
Thanks.
I have no idea if they can see when it was deactivated but I'm sure they can find out during the application process by asking you why you don't have social media, when you deleted it, etc. and it probably wouldn't be best to lie haha also it probably wouldn't be good to say I deleted it right before applying and they ask why and you essentially say so you guys wouldn't see anything and deny or rescind my admission so this really is a tricky topic @gregoryalexanderdevine723
I deleted all social media four years ago. At first it really sucked but now I believe its left me in a better position because now I get information from actual sources and articles and not in 140 characters or less from just anyone. Also its kept me from posting things about heated topics that I know I would've ended up regetting later. As for deleting it right before applying to law school that might seem kind of fishy but it really is a judgement call. If your social media is clean then you have nothing to worry about but in today's climate you never know what someone might find offensive and attempt to hold against you. If you do decide to delete it just make sure you have a way to keep in contact with your family and friends :)
Totally guessing here..I think we'll get a -12 curve. Optimistic I know haha but wow at that RC section
Im in the same boat as you guys.. I pretty much guessed on all the second passage questions then ran out of time with 5 questions left on the last passage so I had to guess on those.. Ive been averaging -5 on the PrepTests but I honestly could have missed 12 on this section
Did this RC section seem exceptionally hard to anyone else besides me?
Almost positive if you had LR RC LR LG LR that the first LR was experimental
For the past month or two I've been averaging between a 164-167 actual score and between a 172-175 blind review score on the PrepTests, both older and newer. It seems like I've tried and done everything to improve my actual score up to the BR numbers, but nothing really changes, any advise would be much appreciated.
Was this LSAT never released?
Hello 7sagers, do any of you guys have any tips on how to improve LG timing? I'm always pushing the 35 minute mark if not going over it. I'm honestly not sure if I'm diagramming too much or if I'm just moving to slow. I have the games pretty much down its just the timing issues I'm struggling with. Thanks for reading
Speaking of LSAC questions, on the transcript section of the apply tab, my bachelor's degree-granting institution dates of attendance and degree date is incorrect and it won't let me change it and I can't find ANYWHERE how to change it to the correct dates.. Does anyone know how to fix this?
@greenbergcoupons948 well I would usually go over a game I just finished myself first to see if I could figure out where I went wrong like with inferences and time traps etc. and see if I could fix it myself the next time I did that game and if there were still problems the next game I would watch the games video and try it again later. I usually waited a week or two before redoing games but a lot of people review them and redo them directly after doing it the first time and that seems to work for a lot of people. As for review time, it was typically a quick process for me because I could usually spot out the inferences I missed quickly and for the videos take as much time as you need watching and rewatching them as needed
Note: I mentioned earlier that my review process probably ended up causing me extra work in the long run and slowing my overall progess down so in terms of reviewing I would look to some of the already established methods and see how they work for you. The time you have available to study is something you should embrace not avoid when it comes to taking the LSAT because the LSAT cannot be rushed or crammed into memory.
@greenbergcoupons948 well I redid the LG section of each preptest I took only once so that's 40 total sections and drilled15-20 LG sections x2-3 so that's 30-60 sections which adds up to between 280 to 400 total individual games. Keep in mind this is my own individual pace until I reached consistency, your pace may be completely different, and honestly I couldve picked it up sooner had I reviewed better.
As for your second question I started out struggling with both time and inferences. As I practiced I got more comfortable with making quicker inferences and eliminating wrong answer choices faster which lead to an improvement in time

I'd be very sure about the GPA condition and your anticipated ability to maintain it prior to signing on the dotted line. I'd research other people's experiences / stories as it applies to conditional scholarships and the reality of the law school curve.
I just found information on their website. Their median GPA is 3.0 and the minimum you can have to retain any scholarship is a 2.5. About 1 in 6 lose their scholarships each year.
