Hello all! I only have a few days left of access as well. I'm age 37. I have just kind of drifted along in life.. had a small business, worked at a gym for a while, then joined the military at 30. I started college because the GI Bill stipend paid more than my job at the time, and here I am! I have been accepted to 5 law schools and have been offered full and generous scholarships to a few. I'm stoked to find this thread. Good luck to everyone!

Which one do you guys look at, US News? There's that other site, "law-schools.startclass.com".

What are you looking at to decide which is best, bar passage rate? or employment rate?

Also, I've been offered some scholarships to local and lower ranked schools. They are not in the region that i want to live. How hard is it to move right after going to law school? Or is it a better choice to forfeit the scholarships and go to the higher-ranked schools in the State that I want to move? PS. my tuition is paid by the VA so the scholarship money would be extra money.

I have only gotten one back (applied two weeks ago) but my online status shows I've been accepted two other places as well. Just knowing I got into one was such a relief.

@turnercm409 I went ahead and did a couple days ago, and I'm so glad I did. They responded with simply "Thank you!"

@danielznelson160 Not really, but definitely a target school for me and not a safety school. It's a big weight off my shoulders just to know I got in "somewhere".

I submitted most of mine Jan 15th, and just a few days ago I started getting emails about them being forwarded for review & out of the "processing" stage.

It just says it's "strongly recommended" that I send it in the same addendum as my personal statement. I might just email them.

The instructions "strongly recommend" to send in my resume WITH my personal statement. I didn't, because I didn't remember to, because that is weird.

The online checker system says my application is "complete" but on the checklist, "resume" is unchecked.

Should I try and email them my resume? Or do you think that would annoy them?

I sent some applications in after I requested my transcripts, but BEFORE they were processed into LSAC. Now, about a week later, the transcripts are there and my applications are in the 'lsac completed' portion of the website. My question is, do I email the schools and tell them that it is now complete?

One of the schools emailed me just to tell me that my app was incomplete (before the transcripts were processed). Should I email just them? I signed a binding contract with them, so they might be more interested in viewing the whole thing before the other "regular" ones.

One of my applications had a character max, and I couldn't put all the schools there. I just put a competing one.

Yale 250

I just wrote my Yale 250 in 3rd person. Is that weird? It's an argument about the origin of jazz music.

I think I'm about done editing it, and am pressed for time! I'd like to get my apps in before mid jan. If anyone is willing to give me feedback, or even willing to trade personal statements for review, please PM me your email address. Thanks!!

General · Did you use all of the space in the writing section? For recent dec 3 test.

oh good. I filled up about the same... all of front and part of back. I was worried because I had extra time, which was pretty weird to be sitting for the LSAT with extra time.

I did a lot of erasing.

For those who have taken the LSAT, can I view my answer sheet along with the correct answers? I did a lot of erasing, which might make a fake-wrong answer. I see the portion of LSAC that shows PDF's after the LSAT is taken. Can I view it there?

Hey, I'm a mom! I do not think there are many of us in the group. How old are your children? My daughter is 5 this week.

She has never been in daycare, but I saved up all last year for mon-thurs preschool/daycare so I could study for the LSAT. She has been attending since the summer. I took the December LSAT, so I am just waiting around for my score, you know, freaking out.

I don't work, but I am a full time undergrad senior. I tried to take fairly easy classes this semester so I could spend more time on studying for the LSAT. It worked! I was able to spend about 10 hours per week plus mothering and school.

@jennilynn89537 I signed up for Feb. I called LSAC, they said since the december scores come out later, I can request a refund for Feb if I decide not to take it.
