Definitely waive! However, do note that what you are waiving is the right to view your LOR from LSAC itself. You are NOT waiving the right to view your LOR if the recommender chooses to send it to you directly. You would not be violating any rules by having a copy/having a recommender send you the LOR directly.

It's similar. LSAC's lawhub is exactly the same as test day.

LSAC converts everything to a standardized 4.0 scale (A+s count as 4.33) and calculates your GPA according to the number of units/credits taken. So, for instance, let's say you took 10 units/credits at one institution, and 30 units/credits at another. The latter institution would have 3x more weight as far as GPA is concerned.

1. T14 schools are not out of the question, assuming that you desire attending one. If you were to kill the LSAT, you would be a 'super splitter,' someone with a big gap between their GPA and LSAT. Your success at the T14 would be unpredictable, so the general advice given is to apply to many different law schools.

2. Cumulative GPA carries like 99% of the weight. It's standardized and is the one law schools have to report to the ABA (American Bar Association) and US News Rankings.

3. You definitely should write an addendum. Mental health issues are a popular addendum item and are viewed fine in law school applications, however, you should make it clear (if this is the truth) that, while you once had issues, they have now been resolved and will not negatively affect your ability to succeed in law school. Law school admissions officers want to know that you'll be able to be in a stable headspace because law school is demanding.

4. Community college is not viewed negatively. I have even heard top law schools like Harvard welcome community college applicants because they see them as more diverse.

5. You should not write an addendum for community college merely because you attended it.

6. Law schools will have a copy of all your official transcripts, so they technically will have the ability to see your classes. But, by and large, your GPA is much, much more important than what your transcript says. Most admissions officers don't spend that much time looking at your transcript. For someone with a lower GPA, they may just glance over it to see if you have an upward trend.

Best of luck!

When JY talks about this question, he says that Taruskin doesn't indicate who creates the art. I thought there was support for this, though, in the first paragraph: "art, historically, was produced BY* and for political and social elites."

Can someone please explain how this doesn't amount to an indication?
