I was wondering about the chances of getting in as well (with the later dates).
The reason why I am going to law school is because I received a DUI (reduced to reckless) in 2012 and had a terrible lawyer. I took over my entire case because the lawyer was incredibly awful which sparked me to want to pursue law. Prior to this I had no run in's with the law. I immediately went back to school and worked fulltime while also attending fulltime classes at night. I just recently graduated with my BA and also studying for the LSAT. A. do I mention my DUI anywhere in the applicationand B. should I consider weaving this into my personal statement or is that just dumb? It's literally the reason why I want to become lawyer. The DUI made me realize what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - defend people. I also don't want to be stupid and mention it if I don't have to. This has been my biggest struggle. Thanks!
I am interested as I am taking the December test as well.
I would love to be added. Thank you!
I feel like this is a dumb question but I'm just curious. If you guys have unanswered questions when taking a prep test, are you guys guessing? Say you have 2 mins left and have 3 unanswered questions, are you guys leaving them blank? I leave them blank in order to get an accurate diagnostic. Just wondering what others are doing. I know for the actual test it's best to just guess if you have questions remaining, but what about our preps?
I have been in the fashion industry as a buyer for the last 8 years. At 27 I decided to go back to school to become a lawyer so I worked fulltime and went to school fulltime. I attended community college, then university, and just recently graduated. I have a question regarding LOR's and also taking the February LSAT. Since I was in and out of school to get to work on time, I only bonded (closely) with one teacher at the community college who loves me, and one TA at the university. I'm getting one LOR from the teacher at the community college who has been teaching poli sci for 20+ years and another from the TA. The TA asked if she should have the professor who taught the class sign the letter as well. Should she have the professor sign it too or does that look weird? Or should I just have my boss of 8 years write one instead of the TA? Lastly, the dean of admissions at the school I'm looking to attend recommended that I apply in January so that my application will be looked at before all of the February applicants who will submit after the LSAT. What if I don't feel good about my score after the test and they already have my application? This would be my first LSAT and although I feel good about my practice tests, I'm not sure how I'll do on test day. I have major test anxiety. Should I apply in Jan and cancel the test if I don't feel good about it, or should I just not apply in January and wait until I take the test to apply? If I don't feel good about it I can just not apply and retake it for the next cycle. Basically I don't want them to get a bad score and deny me if I can just sit this out another cycle, which I really don't want to do since I already did, but will if I have to. If my question did not make sense I will elaborate further. Thank you so much.
i would love this
