I used David Busis, and I was extremely happy with his application advice and essay edits. David gave very thorough edits on both technical grammar/sentence structure and on big picture themes. This is extremely valuable advice since having a key message/story is crucial to a strong application. My applications would not have been as strong without David's advice, and I think his consulting package is well worth the price.

I am considering on applying for another legal assistant position but I know I may not be an ideal candidate since I would only be available for less than a year.
Do you want a job or not? If you want a job then don’t tell people you’re going to law school. I’m sorry but unless you’re working as a waitress or in retail or at a temp job you’re not going to be hired if you mention that you’re not going to be working there long term.
This is 100% true. Never share more than what is absolutely necessary in a job interview/employer.

going digital? how is that going to work with logic games?
I imagine it would look a lot like what the GMAT and CPA exams do at pro-metric centers. You get some scratch paper to use throughout the exam. The scratch paper won't serve any purpose during LR and RC, but will be useful for the LG section.

It won't matter. I had a 161 on my first take and 174 on my subsequent take. I'm attending Harvard this fall and was admitted to every T14 (plus money) except Stanford (WL) and Yale. I only wrote an addendum to UChicago since they explicitly asked for one, and I kept it to three sentences.
Unless you think your score is sub 150 or something (which you don't), I don't think it's ever wise to cancel. Plus, you just never know...I had a tutoring client think he scored in the 150s but he ended up with a 170. The exam is a sunk cost at this point, so you may as well see what your score was.

Although not usually required, it's best to rewrite everything subjective on your application (essays, resume, etc). If you reapply to any school that you were previously accepted to, it might be prudent to write a "Why am I reapplying?" essay.
It's ok to reuse LOR, but if it can sometimes be better to have them updated for dates and things. Email your LOR writers if you want them to do this. If you can get one new good LOR to add, do that. Nevertheless, reusing all LOR from the previous year is better than adding a just OK sounding new letter.
Since the apps are common apps, all the objective things (name, academic information) should carryover on the application from last year.

"Volunteer someplace that interests you - maybe a place that has the type of law you want to practice. I think this would show your commitment to your area of law . Or maybe volunteer someplace completely different - hospital, shelter, ems, etc, etc. This would show your diversity."
Piggybacking on this idea...ask around if there are any 501(c)(3) boards of directors you can join. I'm on the board of one and we constantly are looking for people to serve.
With regards to a retake, retaking won't hurt you (even if you perform worse than the 171). You have nothing to lose and plenty of time between now and the June/Sep LSAT; if you take September, be sure to submit your applications as soon as you get your score back.

You'll most likely get a T14 to bite based off the LSAT alone...assuming you apply early in the cycle (work experience and removal from your GPA helps too if applicable). If you are URM, the chances of a T14 go up to 100%. I say an app to at least all the T14 outside of YHS are worth it (YHS seem to have hard GPA floors based off LSN), but you never know. An ED app to schools that guarantee money (such as NU) may be worth it if you are elastic as to where you attend.
Just a side note, IP law is an easier sell if you have a STEM like degree (and you can maybe tailor a story around your GPA around that if possible). Also, international law in the sense that most people think doesn't really exist; international law mainly consists of transacational/tax work at a Big Law firm.

I reapplied with same GPA, LSAT, and general early time frame (applied in September this cycle vs October last cycle). Only thing changed was an extra year of work experience as a CPA. Outright reject at Harvard last cycle but an acceptance this cycle. Don't have a clue.

T14 is a reach. Wash U seems to accept quite a bit.

I was held a few weeks ago and submitted a LOCI. I don't think I'd attend, but it can't hurt.

I actually did not defer. I withdrew all of my apps and reapplied again from scratch. I don't know about the deferral process since I'm attending school this fall, but I had much better results compared to previous cycle.

If it's common place to put the certification after your name, then I think it's fine to include it in your header. If it isn't usually the case, then I'd put the certification in a "certifications" section in your resume.
I'm a CPA, so my name at the top of my resume was: "First Name Last Name, CPA" and I had no separate certifications section; I lumped my license date in with my academic background since I passed the exams while in school.

I visited the entire T14 about a year ago. Just going off the campus and interactions with people, my favorites were UVA (by a long shot; who ever is in charge of marketing that law school to visitors deserves a raise), Yale, Duke, and Harvard.
Least favorite visits were Penn and Georgetown (very much disliked both visits; I didn't reapply go Georgetown and I debated not reapplying to Penn), Northwestern, maybe Stanford (the campus is pretty ugly in my opinion and you'd never think the building is home to a T3 law school. It's kind of a dump).
Everyone else was meshed together and fine overall. Michigan's law library is gorgeous, though.

1.) Rank (YHS only)
2.) Scholarship
3.) Employment Outcomes (vary well could be my #2)
4.) Location (Big gap between this and #3). I would prefer to be somewhere where it does not get below 65 degrees.
5.) Community (another big gap; laregly don’t care about this)
Awesome! This would be very useful.
