@ @ do the Casios tic loudly?

I missed the first part of the webinar. Is there a link to rewatch anywhere?

PT20 S1 Q24

I got this question wrong (didn't realize net would carry over) but here's a quick equation that helped me figure it out.

N = 1990 coal mined — 1990 coal consumed

X = 1991 coal mined

Y = 1991 coal consumed

So:

N > N + X — Y

= Y > X

Therefore, more coal was consumed in 1991 than mined in 1991.

I'm happy to

oh nice! is it for the local paper or a big media company like NBC?

It's a big metro newspaper, where I cover politics.

And thanks all for the advice! This is very helpful.

@ thank you! And I'm a newspaper reporter. So the hypothetical website would be past articles and writings and such.

Thanks, everyone! Still need to go through parts of the admission course. Sorry for the redundancy.

I'm going too! The RSVP email I got said every participating school will be giving fee waivers to attendees. It'll be my first law fair, so I don't know the answers to your other Qs. (I'd go with biz casual, though.)

@ thank you! I'm applying all over the place and there are a lot of schools outside the T-20 that I'd be happy at. We shall see! Appreciate all the comments and perspective.

Following this since I'm also headed to my first fair next weekend (in SF) and want the same advice!

I'm curious what people have found to be the most helpful questions to ask school reps or general points of conversation? And is it appropriate and expected to follow up with reps over email if you have an engaging discussion?

(As for what to wear, I'm going with biz casual -- I think that'll be pretty typical.)

@ I'm not sure what your comment is specifically referring to. OP was merely asking what his chances at T14 were - not job prospects or paying full sticker.

And yes, the first line of OP states that his LSAC gpa is a 3.2. With a 172, I'd think he'd be relatively competitive for Georgetown.

her/she* :P

I thought about this so much before I took the test! Just be sure that whatever you're eating is something your body is used to -- don't try a brand new regimen the day of.

I think I had yogurt + muesli + fruit + coffee for breakfast soon after I woke up, then a granola bar like an hour before the test. And for the break I had peanut butter stuffed pretzels and chocolate-covered espresso beans. But my test administration was at 12:30 p.m.

If you live near a Trader Joe's, I highly recommend getting good snackage from them.

This is probably backed by little science, but I ate a lot of walnuts + blueberries + broccoli leading up to the test because I'd read they were good "brain foods" haha. And stay away from turkey, since it supposedly makes you sleepy.

Thanks, all! I'm definitely applying outside the T-14 as well.

Ok, thank you!

@ I modified this template and included a little about my financial situation. Thanks!

Sorry, which template?

@ do you mind sharing what you said in your email to schools? Congrats on the success rate!

Thank you all so much for the input! The email first/stopping by OHs later ended up working out well.

@ Will there be a way to ask a question if we call in from a cellphone? Thank you!
