I am in south bay area! Count me in!

Join in the club! Working from home with flexible hours and studying and taking care of kids!

I am interested! Please count me in! Thanks!

Interested! May I register?

@jivansekhon160.Tharp The 3rd LR for mine was experimental. I remember a question for doctor's handwriting in that section and it was on the list of experimental questions by Dillon.

@orfehvahabzadeh509 thank you! Just saw the post that for my 3 LRs, the middle one is experimental! So sad since I did really bad on the first LR and was not confident in the last LR after the LG section :(

So for 3 LRs: LR RC LR LG LR, which LR is not real? I also feel that the first LR is really hard

1. Your three-sentence biography:

My name is Anna, I have an undergraduate degree in Biomedical engineering from an international institution, mechanical and electrical engineering master's degree from US universities and I am an ESL student. I worked as a technical advisor (patent agent) after graduating with my 2nd MS degree in a boutique IP law firm for about 2 years and stopped working due to medical issue since 2015. I have 2 children (2 years old and 2 months old) and my husband is an officer, I am now taking care of them while studying for the LSAT.

2. Your biggest worry about your application.

I don't have an undergraduate GPA since I obtained my undergraduate degree from out side of US. LSAC rated my UGPA as Above Average. As English is not my first language, I am mostly worried about my writing especially Personal Statement.

3. Two ideas for your personal statement.

a) Maybe talk about my journey of coming to the US alone to study 5000 miles away from home. The struggle both culturally and academically, the loneliness, and the burden of surviving financially. Academically, I need to adjust myself to the new school, new environment, and new ways of studying and doing researches. As a Teaching assistant, I need to hold lab sessions 3 times a week, which basically is a public speech one hour each time. For a non-native speaker, it was a nightmare in the beginning but in the end I received excellent teaching award from school. I even worked as an adjunct instructor at a private university for a semester. I also have research duties which was interesting and hard but I managed to publish a few papers on peer reviewed journals. I was also doing multiple internships to earn extra money and gain more experiences while taking the maximum credits I could each semester to save the tuition. However the most difficult part is the loneliness, coming from an Asian culture, it is difficult to be alone without families and friends around. I enjoy being tired and fill my schedule full with loads of work because I feel lonely and even cries sometime when I am by myself. I overcome these in the end.

b) Perhaps, I should talk about more recent experience about being a military spouse, support my husband emotionally, adjust myself to the military life and survive severe medical complications myself without anyone around to help. My strong technical background in biomedical, mechanical, and electrical engineering will make me a good fit for IP law and I have experiences working with patents already. But I feel like talking about how much I love patent law is really plain and not interesting. Maybe I should combine the 2 topics together?

4.Did you attend last time? Did I get to you?

No and no. Hopefully I get to attend this time!

Oh that makes some sense! Thanks @nye887085

I am wondering if there is a list of these kind of expressions that I should be alert about? "as many as" is certainly not the only one.

Question about how to join the meeting with cell phone, if I follow the below instructions, what will the audio PIN be? And will my microphone be on automatically? Sorry I am on a trip right now and cannot join the meeting through Internet.

Dial +1 (571) 317-3112

Use the access code 196-286-165.

Use the audio PIN shown after joining the meeting.

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing

I am so sad I missed this webinar! Could 7Sage please post this webinar online or someone please post their notes? I don't think these materials is available in the admission package and real examples from fellow 7sagers are really helpful.

Suggestion: Could David be really kind to post his comment to each PS whom he gave advices to? @davidbusis895.busis

missed this webinar so sad

This is helpful! Thanks!

Please count me in!

@gabriellatkj630 I tagged you!

@kmarie7664 I am tagging you :)

Thank you @connollykev567 for the suggestions of annotation methods!

@jennilynn89537 Thank you for sharing with me your experiences! I will start to read Economics to get myself familiar with the art/social science/literature matters.

@jennilynn89537 Thanks for the advice! I will also do more drills in the subject that I am not familiar with!

@connollykev567 the thread is really helpful thanks!

Thank you @connollykev567 I don't have an annotation method yet. Any recommendations of what method I could use or any lectures/resources on it?

First time join a BR group, people were just chatting? Sorry I didn't join from the beginning. Maybe the question discussion part was done already at 9pm?
