Good luck with your apps!
If you want a new obsession, try running / marathons / qualifying for Boston / triathlons / Ironmans / qualifying for Kona. The geekiness in this house is insignificant compared to the geekiness in some of those worlds.
I'm a marathoner haha, truuuust me I get that obsession as well. Boston is the goal!
I get into work every morning, start up my computer, and then open a tab for LSN, LSL, Reddit Law school admissions, and 7sage. I swear I refresh every page at least 2 dozen times a day....and then check the status checker for the 8 schools I'm waiting to hear back from.
And I get SO frustrated when people who submitted their applications after me, and with lower numbers get in. The silence is killing me slowly (and probably annoying all my friends who are sick about hearing about law school applications).
We rush everything.
I couldn't wait to be done the LSAT, then I couldn't wait to finish applications, and now I just can't wait to move and start school. I feel like my life is in this weird holding place. So I'm reminding myself (and anyone who might need it) to chill the eff out.
This is the last spring/summer before we become law students. The last summer to be (somewhat) carefree. The last time we apply to law school, and can sit here and obsessively talk about a process that has consumed our lives with people online who are essentially strangers. Never in my life did I think I'd be on reddit this often. Old me would make fun of new me.
Enjoy the process. Breath. Stop obsessing over something that will happen.

Thanks everyone! Still praying CLS comes through with an acceptance. Is it worth retaking in June in the event I'm WL?

Thank you everyone! I received a little over 40k from Brooklyn. I haven’t tried negotiating yet. Emory offered me a dismal 12k. I am definitely leaning towards Brooklyn, but with Emory being a hired ranked school, I was worried about making the wrong decision.

Wow I didn't think Brooklyn Law held much weight in NYC. This is coming from an NYC native here. Maybe visit each school and look at employment rates, and opportunities you would be interested in. The best people to answer that question are current students.
They typically place about 70 students a year in big law, and this is from a third party source. The grads that talked to really like the school...but then again, I’m sure there are people who would have some not-so-flattering comments to make.
I know Emory is ranked significantly higher. I visited Brooklyn and I liked it, and the people that I met.Currently booking flights to visi Emory.
Hi everyone,
I was just accepted into Emory Law, which I’m still freaking out about ! I initially thought I would be accepting Brooklyn’s offer because I want to work in NYC. Goal was Columbia but I’m doubtful I’ll be accepted. If I want to practice in NYC, should I focus more on rank or being situated in NYC? I know Emory is the better school but Brooklyn does pretty well with big law in NYC.
Thoughts ? I don’t know any lawyers in the US, so really 7Sage is my only place to get answers haha.
Hi everyone,
Question for you...a school that I’m trying to negotiate scholarships with asked me to show them my other offers. Is that normal? Are offers from other schools confidential? A little confused as to how this process works, so any insight would be great.
Thanks!

I got an email from a law school 2 hours ago saying scores are coming out next week.
Same, but I think that’s based on the predicted numbers. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve been told that a number of consulting agencies (like Spivey) have said law schools don’t know about LSAT release dates before us.
I had a well known law professor I worked with offer to write me a letter to my dream school... I have already submitted my app and used the max number of references. Is him writing a letter a good or a bad idea? I haven't had a response from the school yet. He's also taught at the school before. I know I should have asked him to be one of my LOR's, but I honestly didn't think he would.

The extended score cancellation deadline is for the people who take the makeup exam on Feb 24 (including myself). We have until 3pm on Feb 28 to submit the cancellation request, which is less than six days...
Oh ok that makes sense. Another poster said they were not a delayed taker and had a date change on their score cancellation. Which had me confused.
That was me! My status did change, but I had a later change date from the very beginning...even though I wrote on feb 10. I'm not sure why...I called LSAC and should be hearing back from them soon,.

I wasn't. Just your typical type A aspiring law student lol. Been refreshing forums & LSAC way too often.

The cancellation date just changed to tomorrow, so I'm wondering if that means scores will be released sooner?
My LSAC account just updated to say that score cancellation date change to tomorrow... does that mean an earlier release?
What the heck. Why is (nearly) everyone at Columbia getting wait listed, even when they have 170+ LSAT scores and a 3.6+ GPA's? I get YP, and an increased applicant pool etc etc...but this seems excessive.
Thoughts?
I can't believe I'm writing this, but I became THAT applicant. I accidentally submitted my rough draft for my Why Columbia essay, instead of the final. I just sent it in over the weekend, and they replied today that they were adding it to my file....so I decided to re-read it.
I cannot explain the sinking feeling in my stomach after realising that my submitted copy had a ton of red underlines and comments in the columns. Thank goodness I'm this type A and double checked....but I'm kicking myself for making this mistake in the first place.
I called and they kinda laughed at me...probably because I sounded crazy and said they would update it with the final copy haha. But a part of me is still very anxious that I somewhat hurt my chances.
BLEH.

Do you guys think a June write would help with scholarship negotiations and getting off a wait list? I’m so close to being in the 170s. I wrote in Dec and bombed LG with a -13 (scored in the low 160s)....I know I’ll be more ready in June....but I really don’t want to delay a cycle. Thoughts?

It would be N-S.
If we are listing things from 1 to whatever, the higher number is the later number.
Of course it is...
Haha thank you.I’m embarrassed I even had to ask that.
When a rule says S is a higher number than N, is that S-N or N-S? Does higher mean lower?
My brain is in that weird place where I can feel myself over thinking..

You mean to sell things in North America that were made in sweatshops elsewhere, right, not things made in sweatshops in North America?
Yes! Did not explain that properly haha.

I want to work in fashion law. My cheesy goal in high school was to make it illegal to sell things made in sweatshops in North America. So, something along those lines still, just more realistic.

Too much to list, haha.
All I can say is that 7Sage completely changed everything for me. When I began studying, my goal was a 160. I never thought I'd be able to score higher than that. I couldn't finish one logic game. I was ok on LR and RC, but I couldn't get my LR score to below -4 for months. Finally, after a year of on and off studying, I'm finally scoring 10+ higher than I ever imagined. My score goal is now a 180 and my dream schools have changed to include all the top US law schools.
Lol, in my mind you've always been one of those people that scored a 169+ on their diagnostic :P
Sorry to hear about the ding. This cycle has been so flipping weird. And yeah, other law school forums are....interesting lol. Too many kids who put way too much of their value in numbers, and seem miserable. Law school will be a treat ! :P
