Given the Coronavirus, FSU has given the students the option to choose to take whatever class on a P/F (or S/U) basis.

Would It look bad to have a lot of P/F in your law school application?

If it does make a difference what is the recommended maximum amount of P/F I should be wary of?

I also heard some law schools consider a Pass as a C and a Fail as an F on their GPA calculations. Is this just a rumor?

For example, would it be detrimental in my law school application if I were to graduate in five years as opposed to the expected four years? I essentially had to skip my Junior year of undergrad because I was dealing with chronic seizures. Therefore, the doctor prohibited me from going to school as I needed to be medically monitored for the following months.

I am still planning on taking the November LSAT. I know that scores release about 3 weeks after the test. My fall semester officially ends on December 13. Will I have to submit my application with this year’s fall semester included or can I submit my application with the GPA that I currently have (not including my GPA post-fall semester)?

I'm talking about the first PT right after finishing the CC.

Also, what was your average score on PTs and what did you finally get on the LSAT?

How long did it take for you to achieve your desired average score after finishing the CC?

I have yet to solve one LG on my own even without any time restrictions. I do very well with LR and RC, but for some reason LGs have been beating the crap out of me. It is difficult for me to fully comprehend how I should initially set up my game board, better yet make any inferences consistently. Mind you, I am still in progress with the LG section of the CC—but am nearly finished—but regardless, it has been totally disheartening for me.

How long did it take for you guys to fully grasp LG?

I currently have a 3.9 GPA at FSU with hopes in getting into a T14 law school. My only concern in regards to my transcript is that I have a relatively light course load.

In my third year--I'm entering my fourth year in the fall--I experienced multiple and erratic seizures which forced me to be on medical watch and prevented me from driving or using electronics for some time. Later on in the year, my girlfriend became pregnant with my little baby daughter (:D) and I had to travel and stay in Colombia to accompany her since she lives alone. These impediments forced me to drop the majority of my classes which consequently led me to complete a mere total of 9 credit hours in my Junior year. I explained all of this to my university and they were lenient and cleared me from any heavy academic obligations.

In regards to my credits and graduation pace, I am not off-track since I have taken multiple Summer courses over the years. I am just a bit worried that my lackluster course load, specifically in my third year, may dissuade the T14 law schools from taking my application seriously.

Could my case deter T14 law schools from considering me? I know I should mention this through an addendum but to what extent would that help with their considerations?

How much would it affect my chances if I were to apply in November/December as opposed to October/November?

I’m asking more specifically towards the T14 schools.
