Hello @ As someone who is going to law school in her late 30s I have often asked myself this as well. I have been looking at sites like Above The Law (ATL) for rankings and Law School Trasnparency (LST) to review overall outcomes. What I like about LST is that you can put in the states where you want to live after law school and then it will provide you State Placement Data on graduates along with salary and job type. This way you can make a data backed informed decision. It's actually part of the LSAC LawHub and can be found here: https://www.lawschooltransparency.com/
ATL puts out its own rankings that put a greater emphasis on outcomes for ranking than US New's inputs to law school applicants.
Just thinking long term I would also look at the law firms where you think you want to work in PA and see where the lawyers who work there attended school. In thinking about being a summer associate or networking opportunities, you are more likely to have those if you are part of the same alumni network. You could also look at speciality law publications (i.e. trial lawyers, patent lawyers, corporate, public interest, environmental, etc.) to see where the people who are ranked in PA went to school.
Hope that helps and best of luck on your journey!
This may be late, to the previous commentors point, but I find leaving comments directly on questions to be a bit initimidating. I recognize this is purely psychological but the discussion forum feels less public than the comment section of questions or the curriculum. The other factor to consider is that you'd need to make every response on the question page searchable. Sometimes I land in a discussion thread about a particular question because
I've searched the Forum for a concept that I am not grasping and someone's response has mentioned it in the explanation. It serves as a way to rethink my approach or recognize a pattern I might have missed. I suspect moving these discussions from the main forum to their own page might affect the way users access information not outlined in existing user journey maps. I also recognize that I could very well be in the minority for this use case. Nontheless, I hope it helps.
Hello I am also interested and planning to take the September
I am using the wrong answer journal that is included in the Blind Review however, it would be helpful if we could make changes after seeing the results so that we don't need to essentially keep two journals: The 7Sage Digital Version and an external version. At the very least seeing them in one place on the site would be useful. Thank you

@ Here's the thread for Sunday
Am I too late to join this group? I'm a non-traditional student as well...35 years old transitioning from entrepreneurship to law. Please send me an invite @
Hi @ I'm actually based in Novi, MI! Nice to see another Michigander here.
This idea of translation is something I hadn't thought of. We don't even have to know an animal because you can substitute in any word. For example "Do I know of a species that is found only in a single defined geographic location?"Yes, Texans only live in Texas. I can see this being useful if you're reading a complicated scientific passage or working on passage recall.
Someone reminded me that there is no need to rush. If you've done 171 on BR then in theory, you could do that well on the actual test. With that score, I'm not sure what scholarships you might receive with current scores so taking the higher paying job would in theory allow you to have additional savings.
Regardless, don't get discouraged! Episode 38 of the 7Sage podcast is great explanation of someone going from a 150 to a 173. Episode #43 is the story of how the 7Sager in episode 38 helped another student go from 138 to 173. These score jumps took about 2 years but they were possible. So if you've been studying since May 2020, it sounds like your journey may be similar. In the end, YOU have to be happy with your score and choice of school.
Best of Luck!
Oh and I didn't mention that LST actually provides you a list of schools based on the parameters you input including in what state do you wish to live after graduation. It's also free.
