Thank you so much for doing this!

Your three-sentence biography.

I graduated in 2010 and have four years of work experience in economic/policy consulting. Since graduating UG, I have also earned a Master's degree (was in a PhD program, but decided that I would be more interested in academic law/becoming a lawyer and left in good standing). I'm waiting for my September LSAT score (which was my third and last take).

Your biggest worry about your application.

My undergrad (Wellesley College) had/has a grade deflation policy, so my UGPA (~3.5) is below the 25th at every school I'm currently considering.

Two ideas for your personal statement.

1) My work experience and how I want to get on the other side of things (many of my clients are lawyers), 2) My personal history and identity (Asian/immigrant/moved around a lot as a kid/LGBT/female) and how I've come to see the powerful role that legal institutions play in our society. Which might relate to how my original passion was economics (hence, grad school), but now I realize my interests are more related to law and economics.

Did you attend last time?

I've taken the LSAT twice at this location (June 2015 and September 2016) and I will add that the noise level can vary a bit depending on what room you are in. Not because of outside noise (as all classrooms here are very well insulated), but because of those fancy heavy doors. During my second test at this location, for some reason there was a constant stream of people going to the bathroom during sections and the constant slamming of the door was just awful. Try to request to sit away from the doors if you can!!

Are you sure?
