Your three-sentence biography.

Aerospace and Ocean engineer from Virginia Tech looking to get into patent law. Son of an immigrant parents. I currently work for the NAVY (civilian) on submarine concepts designs. Its a simillar appoach the the auto indsutry has with concept vehichles, applied to submarines. Plan to do LS part time while continuing to work.

Your biggest worry about your application.

GPA. I was diagnosed dsylexic late in life and as a result have a GPA that I am trying to balance with a good LSAT score (168 in JUNE and retaking in SEPT)

Two ideas for your personal statement.

Trying to manage my father's tax practice while he was hospitalized and considering taking it over/switching careers when the prospect of him not making was a reality. AND/OR going thru school as an undiagnosed dyslexic student and the problems associated with that.

Did you attend last time? Did I get to you?

NO

Disappointed with you response to question 16. You point to the sole fact that coins were replaced as support that it was redundant. I am sure we can all think of plenty of things that were replaced that were NOT redundant. Yes it was replaced but that is only one part of it.

Evidence to D is more so in line 46 where the author describes how it took 2+ coins to represent multiple items and how that system evolved into a numerical system with a sign and a numeral.

I think it is imperative on MSS question to find supporting text, this is a surefire way to get the question correct.

1. Graduated in 2014 from Virginia Tech with aerospace and naval engineering degrees. Currently work for the Navy as a civilian engineer. Looking to go to law school to get into patent law.

2. GPA, I have good LSAT score of 168 from June and awaiting my Sept score. Not very hopeful that my degree will be accounted for in a low GPA

3. One idea is what has inspired me to get into patent law. My father left a big accounting firm to start his own business developing software for corporate tax application. A coworker/fellow developer stole the idea and tried to sell it to a competing firm. I saw first hand how critical IP laws can be and how devastating their consequences are.

Second idea is talking about being diagnosed with a learning disability late in my college career. Not sure if any admissions officer wants to hear my sob story.

4. Yes this is my 3rd and never been lucky enough to get picked
