I will be 26. Starting this fall. Wanted to go last year but retook the test and got a better score. Worked for 3 years full time. It makes me happy to see a lot of different age ranges going to law school :)

Waitlist

So I recently got waitlisted at my top choice. I guess it is better than a no!

I just had a quick question, will the schools ever tell you that you are rejected, or is it just assumed when the first day starts?

I am fine with going to my second choice, I just feel nervous about signing a lease and trying to figure out everything about moving to a new city with the potential of being taken off the waitlist for my first choice.

Thanks,

Alyssa

Do you know if we will have scratch paper for the whole digital test or just LG? Thank you so much for this :)

Digital LSAT

So I just got back my January score and I am feeling very defeated and dissapointed. I’m not giving up though. I am trying to decide if I should sign up for June of July. I know July gives you your score instantly I am just worried about the digital tests I know they give you scratch paper for LG. Will they be giving scratch paper for LR? I know it is highly based on logic so I like writing next to the statements. That is just my one worry.

I got to my computer at 10:55 and it kicked me out at 11 pm before I could register. I didnt realize it was 12 am eastern. I had a massive freakout last night because I wanted to apply this cycle, but I guess ill try to stay positive and remember everything happens for a reason.

26, with 3 years of work experience as a Financial Analyst, also a Master's Degree in Finance. Glad to see older people. I thought I would feel out of place with a lot of 22 year olds around.

I know at University of Houston and SMU if you are in the top 15 percent majority of people go into Big Law and make 6 figures. You are stuck to Houston or Dallas though, which is fine if you are from Texas, so it is possible.

Well I am sure you will say it does not matter, but if you don't have anything on your resume for an extended period of time, it looks bad. I get studying is important, but I can be sure that the admissions people would take a 170 over a 175 if that person has had work experience and has done well in it. Also, I have a background in finance right now, and I want to get into M&A law. I believe my work experience will end up helping me with interviews in the future because not only will I understand the numbers, but also the law. Obviously I still have to get a good LSAT score and do well in law school, but work experience is important. Look at Northwestern for example. The majority (70 percent) of their students have work experience. And northwestern is a T14.

I just changed my mind from taking it in September to November, so I would definitely be interested.

After cancelling the December test, I have taken a break too and honestly it was what I needed. I am getting back into it too because I really do think law school is what I am meant to do. So welcome back! I am in your shoes and we got this!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Alyssa and I am 24 (turning 25 in May). I have been on this LSAT journey for about a year now, and it has been an interesting experience to say the least. My original goal was to take the test last June, have my apps in my September, and start law school this fall. Life doesn't always go as planned, That obviously did not happen so here we are. Naive me thought that I would be able to balance studying and having a full time job, but it has been a lot harder than I thought. My goal now is to take the test in June/July and apply for Fall 2019 (fingers crossed)

I graduated with my MS in Finance and BBA in Accounting in 2016 and work as a Financial Analyst. The hours tend to be really unpredictable so trying to get a routine schedule of studying has been difficult. I think I have a good plan ahead though. I really do like my job, but law is where I want to be. I have wanted to be a lawyer since I was very young, so I am hoping to make my dream come true. In college I originally started off as a poli sci major and hated it, I then decided to switch to business because I thought I could at least get a job out of undergrad if law school did not work out. I ended up taking an accounting class and doing well in it so I got into accounting. My professor then convinced me to do a 5 year masters program, so I stayed an extra year. I then decided I should work a year after being in school 5 years, but here we are still wanting to do law school. Sometimes I do wish I would have gone to law school right out of school, but I am hoping my work experience will somehow end up helping me in the end.

I really do want to say I love 7sage and this supportive community. Last December I had a mini panic attack after realizing that I was going to delay applying a cycle (and ruin my life plan, yes I over reacted), but it was nice seeing so many stories of people dealing with the same and getting accepted into their dream school after taking their time to truly study for the test. It has also been nice connecting with others who are a few years out of school who still have a dream of going to law school. Age is just a number right?

I am looking forward to talking/meeting you all in possible study group call in sessions.

Best of luck on your studies :)

So I am still confused. I graduated in 2016 and am planning on starting in Fall 2019. I took out loans then, would I still be able to be exempt for these changes?

The reason why I am asking if because there will be a 3 year gap in between the time I graduated and when I would start law school.

This honestly makes me so mad.

Next 6 months study plan

Hi Everyone,

So I have decided to postpone my December test, and postpone applying until next application cycle. I did not feel ready this time,so I am hoping I can take the test in June and feel fully prepared.

I have finished the CC, so I was wondering if any of you have any advice as to how to study for the next 6 months.

I am planning on doing the fullproof method for the LG Bundle (1-35), so I can improve my LG score.

Any other suggestions? Do y'all suggest going through the CC again? I started it back in April of this year. I work a full time job, so that is why it has taken me longer than other people.

Thanks.
