Welcome @yifeiwang926 !!!

Congrats @nikitamunjal950! Confession: I always read your username in Janice's voice...

#ahaaaaaahahahahaha

Should've went the Apple Education route. They had a whole event in March dedicated to their student friendly tablet with apple pencil.

@shaw5563 I doubt much has changed! :) I think when you're rejected, they wouldn't waste much time with your app and just send you an email.

@sunnytsao313794 calls to reject? That's so messed up imo lol

lol i can't even imagine the kind of reactions news-givers would get if that were a thing lol

When Yale calls just to reject me and I try to defend my below median stats:

I would think most are sent via email.

The sages in this podcast talk about what they did leading up to the day of the LSAT:

🤔 this is pretty cool!

@476 LOL two very epic clips!

@akikookmt881 thats valid. I think the idea of not knowing whether you get paper or digital until you are administered the test is going to cause lots of anxiety which will result in a lower outcome of test takers. Could be wrong :)

Yep, I have a feeling the July test will be a very unpopular one lol.

Also can we take a moment to appreciate your username! It's both motivational and hilarious thanks to Michael Scott :joy:

@akikookmt881 of course (3(/p)

I think there's a part in the CC where it talks about the 4 LSATs distributed per year, might want to update it with these new changes happening :)

Hi @nikitamunjal950,

I tried to find where in the CC we talk about 4 LSATs, and I couldn't 😞 Can you let me know where it is if you know?

here you go!

Also if anyone else is reading this, this lesson is a great reminder that there is ONLY.ONE.RIGHT.ANSWER. lol

Seriously! I'm so glad you provided us with this spreadsheet @476. It's one thing to say how much effort the LSAT requires, and another to actually see how much effort the LSAT requires lol

@djc3298401 what do you mean by “meaningful”? Does it have to be law related?

Hey, nope doesn't have to be law related. What I meant by meaningful is try to seek something that you find joy in and something that you could potentially talk about in an interview. Some examples could be volunteering at a homeless shelter or working for a nonprofit. If you can't seem to find such work, that's ok too as I'm sure law schools understand the importance of generating an income. The bottom line is to make sure you're doing something, but if it has meaning it would work in your favor. :)

Not necessarily. Just as long as it's something meaningful. Even if it's volunteering. Also it would actually work in your favor if you're at least doing something part time that will essentially distract you from the LSAT. It's good to have a balance.

@jenlines188 you're such an inspiration and you've provided a really great perspective on how to achieve your goals. Thank you!

Awesome! Welcome @changrichard94444 and thanks for all that you do!

Y'all just keep giving and giving.

"Hey idiot, I told you last time you were weak in this area. Why do you think an additional PT would say anything different? I think Einstein said something about doing the same thing the same way..."

Umm...I petition for this to pop up after scoring a PT that has common question type/game types incorrect

@nikitamunjal950 said:

Maybe they're running out of new material can't keep up with this pace of multiple tests a year so they're going to recycle material...

Could be, but I feel LSAC could have at least disclosed the Feb or March one. Lol

I think there's a part in the CC where it talks about the 4 LSATs distributed per year, might want to update it with these new changes happening :)

Thank you!

Is it possible to get a decent job after attending a 60s ranked law school? Sure. People do it. Many do not, though, and it matters a lot what your end goal is. If you want one of the fancy biglaw jobs that pay well into the 6 figures right out of school, your odds are basically nil at a 60s rank and slim to ok at the 30s, depending on the school and area.

Attending a well-respected regional law school in the area where you want to work is a good choice for many. But is there a difference between attending a 30s vs 60s school? In curriculum, not necessarily. But law is one of those professions where "prestige" of your degree is factored into your employability. Attending a 30s ranked school vs 60s will likely make more jobs available to you both during school and after graduation. It also likely means that you may not have be one of the top ranked students in your school in order to secure a decent job.

I'd advise you to do some research at lstreports.com and look up employment and bar passage information for the schools you are interested in.

One last issue to consider is the money. Particularly if you are going to a lower ranked school, you should be paying little to nothing for your degree. The odds of either not finding a job or finding one but it only pays $50k are much higher the further you go down the rankings. You don't want to come out of law school with $200k in debt and a job that pays $50k. That's the stuff of nightmares.

And finally, I know you don't want to take a "gap year," but I think that would really be your wisest choice. If you keep working on the LSAT, raise it up and apply early for the next cycle, you not only will have a shot at even better schools, but even larger scholarships at the ones you are already considering. If one more year could mean an extra $60k-$100k in scholarship money, that is a damn bargain. Plus, many schools prefer that you have some work experience prior to matriculating.

Whatever you choose though, best of luck!

Very solid advice and well written. Thanks Leah!
