Hi,
I just got waitlisted a school and am now writing a LOCI for that school. It made me wonder, should I write LOCI to my top choice? I haven't heard back and am currently under review. I don't want to annoy them, again it is my top choice.
Anyone have experience with this?
Hi, so my CAS GPA was about .06 lower than my GPA through my school. Which one do I put on my resume? I know they already have both
Hi,
I was hoping that someone might be interested in reviewing my personal statement and giving me feedback.
I'm a bit confused at this point and need some direction. I've had it reviewed a few times and don't know when to stop editing it. I think that I'll always find faults in it so I'd love some feedback to identify what actually needs to be improved.
Thanks everyone :)
So I just received my score back last week and was thrilled to see a 172. Won't be able to send out my apps till at least the 15th of December. Should I just wait till next cycle and save money? or do I stand a chance this cycle?
^ I think the curve was more generous for november but I can't be sure because it hasn't been released yet. I didn't answer at least 3 LR on November and got a 172.
thx 7sage 😬😬😬😬
So I didn't read the instructions on the writing section and I was wearing headphones the entire thing. My webcam mic is really bad so I thought that I could use my headphone mic instead. Just realized today that it isn't allowed. Anyone have experience with this/ will they definitely cancel it? And if so, will I be able to retake it and if needed, cancel my score once the proper submission goes through?
mine says the same?
What elena-lev said up there ^ is good advice. In addition to that, I want to mention that I personally benefited from starting at the end. I was having timing issues and those last 5 minutes when I have 6-7 questions left were pretty much impossible with the harder questions. I usually blow through the first 6 pretty quickly so starting at the end made it easy for me to focus on the harder questions and then get through the easy ones at the end. Another good strategy is the one that JR mentions, skipping trap questions that take up time. It's super easy to get stuck on the hard questions and waste time. Follow what elena said and you should get better at identifying the really tough ones.
I just got the menu and am now on hold. Keep calling until it goes through. I'm in the same boat as you, am going to be switching to november. Was curious, are you applying this cycle?
When do we have to submit the form by?

We hope you are staying safe and healthy during this challenging time. Because the well-being of our test takers remains a top priority for us, we have been monitoring the COVID-19 guidance from national and local public health authorities closely.
Given the continued uncertainty over how the COVID-19 emergency will evolve over the next two months, we have made the decision to offer the online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex in July, and cancel the in-person LSAT that was scheduled for July 13 in the U.S. and Canada.
As you probably know, we created the LSAT-Flex to give candidates the opportunity to earn an LSAT score even though in-person testing is not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can learn more on our LSAT-Flex page.
The July LSAT-Flex will be administered during the week of July 12. Most test takers will test on either Sunday, July 12, or Monday, July 13, with a small number of tests occurring later in the week based on specific remote proctoring requirements. Currently, we are targeting July 30 as the score release date for all test takers, regardless of when they test during the week of July 12.
Because you are currently registered for the July 13 LSAT, you will be automatically registered for the July LSAT-Flex that is taking its place. Please visit your LSAC account and submit the online form to confirm your interest in taking the July LSAT-Flex or to opt out of the July LSAT-Flex and receive a coupon for any future test between August 2020 and April 2021. If we do not hear from you, you will be automatically registered for the July LSAT-Flex.
As you may know, we recently delivered the first LSAT-Flex administration in the U.S. and Canada, which was generally quite successful. Nearly 10,000 candidates took the LSAT-Flex between May 18 and 22. While some test takers experienced technical difficulties with their computers, internet connection, or the proctoring process, 99% of test takers who started the test successfully completed it. We are using the experience of delivering the May exam to make future LSAT-Flex administrations even better.
LSAC is working to help every test taker have the equipment and other resources they need to take the LSAT-Flex. If you do not have the necessary equipment or an appropriate place to test, you can make note of your situation via the same online form in your LSAC account no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, Tuesday, June 23, 2020. We will work with you to try to address your needs.
Because the July LSAT-Flex is an online, remotely proctored test, we are able to offer a variety of test start times on those dates for you to choose from, based upon what works best for your schedule. We will open the scheduling sign-up process in late June, so that you can select the available time that works best for you. We will be sending out more information and instructions prior to that time.
In the meantime, we encourage you to visit our LSAT-Flex Frequently-Asked-Questions page, where you can find more information about the LSAT-Flex, including answers to your questions about the test’s format, security, and technical requirements, as well as how best to prepare.
If you want to familiarize yourself with the format and content of the LSAT-Flex, we recommend using the free Official LSAT Prep practice tests available on LSAC’s LawHub.
In addition to these changes to the July test, LSAC has today opened up registration for all of the remaining tests in the 2020-21 testing cycle. While it is too soon to predict how the ongoing COVID-19 emergency may affect the format or dates of these tests, please know that we will continue doing everything we can to support our law school candidates and provide testing opportunities, while following public health guidance to help protect the safety of test takers and the broader community.
We also announced today that the prices for all LSAC services – testing, CAS, school reports, cancellation fees, and other services – will remain at their 2019-20 levels. While the cost of providing many of these services continues to rise, LSAC is committed to closing the gap through greater efficiency in order to keep candidate costs as low as possible.
Stay safe and stay focused on your legal education journey — the world needs your voice and your advocacy now more than ever!

You don't need to put your GPA on your resume at all. Law schools will see it on the CAS, so its just redundant to put it on the resume. Also as a heads up, just make sure that your GPA was calculated correctly.
I think it was because my school counts B+ as 3.5 and CAS counts it as a 3.33. I've earned a LOT of B+
