Unacknowledged Transcript

Hey all, I attended a regular US university for undergrad, and that is the only school I attended after high school. I also attended a regular US high school and got a regular high school diploma. I took a couple of AP classes and got college credit for them.

I submitted my transcript to CAS, and I got an email titled "LSDAS Notice of Unacknowledged Transcript" saying that I did not disclose an institution and listed it as an "Unknown School".

I began questioning myself if I had unknowingly attended another school, but then I realized about my AP credits. So I looked it up on reddit and people said you don't have to submit high school transcripts because college credits are received through AP exam scores, not grades from high school. So I emailed LSAC, and their response felt a bit automated, but they said "The law schools wish to see the original transcript from every institution that granted you college credits, including college credits earned in high school, credits transferred to your degree-granting school, and credits that may not be part of the degree you earned."

I have nothing to hide on my high school transcript, but the transcript sending service doesn't include LSAC, and LSAC also doesn't acknowledge my high school as an institution. And I agree with the reddit comments that my high school transcript would not show the AP credits I received.

Does anybody know if it's normal for AP credits to cause this kind of mess?

Sorry, I'm a statistics major. I was between C and D, and ultimately went with C after eliminating D. I was thinking too mathematically and thought what if the people surveyed immediately prior to the debate were different from the people surveyed immediately after. Being a televised debate with viewers being surveyed likely over the phone, there's a huge chance for non-response bias, especially with two phone surveys before and after a debate. Overall, I was thinking this new survey offered by answer choice D may be unrepresentative of the viewers and thought this survey was invalid to truly weaken the argument. Now that I type it out, I do realize I did overthink it.

LoR Question

Hello all. I am intending to apply this upcoming cycle, and I was conflicted on who to ask for my LoR.

For context, I decided to apply to law school after graduating college, and I am now 2 years out of college. I did not intend to pursue further education, so I do not have too many professors I had close relationships with. Furthermore, I studied biostatistics and computer science, which are both very unrelated to law, and I currently work as a software developer. Being a STEM major, I often found myself in huge lectures with little face time with professors.

My question is who would be the best people to ask for LoRs? The relationships I have with my professors translate very little to a good law school candidate. I completed an undergraduate thesis, so I had an advisor I collaborated with, but our work was strictly technical. I have a couple of superiors at work I could ask, but again, the work was mostly technical.

LR seemed easier than usual for me. I usually score a -0 in LG, and I was running out of time for the last game, so I had to guess the last few questions unfortunately. I had 2 RCs, one was easy and one was hard, so I'm praying the hard one was experimental.

I think we had the same exam. I also usually score -0 in LG with 10 minutes left over, but today I definitely ran out of time. I blanked on the 3rd puzzle, so I skipped over to the last puzzle and definitely rushed through it, but thankfully figured out the inferences of the 3rd puzzle and breezed through it, but I feel like I made some mistakes on the last puzzle.

I also had 2 RC's and almost quit because I just blanked on the second passage of one of the RC sections. Thankfully, just chugged through and had enough time to go back to it and look at a couple of questions.

It's really weird I usually PT near 175, but when it comes to the actual exam I hit near 170. Definitely a bummer that this exam felt hard. Really hoping as well that the difficult RC was the experimental. That's my only hope right now haha.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
