This is awesome! I love John Oliver and Last Week Tonight.

If it's okay, I can only join a few of the Study Groups because I don't have all of the PTs :(

Hello! I'm a little bit late on this game but I would love to be part of the Sept 2017 study group. I just decided to move my test date from June to Sept since I definitely am not ready yet! I want to make sure that I feel that doesn't happen again and that I feel confident about the Sept 2017 test. Who do I contact to join this study group?

I'm on the exact same boat, got a 152 but was scoring around 157 - 164 during my practice tests the weeks prior. I forgot my watch the day of the test and timing threw me off. Just trying to find the motivation to get back to studying even harder and more intentional. I do agree that we should take today off and re-strategize tomorrow.

I'm not available at the time of the webinar. Will this webinar be recorded? If so, will I be able to access the recording of it?

It seems like other folks have similar questions as me regarding Diversity Statements and I think that this will be captured in this webinar but I just want to put my questions out there. Obviously there are many ways to be diverse beyond nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. but I think it still holds that spaces like law school still need to become diverse in these ways. As an immigrant, queer woman of color I don't want to capitalize on my identities but how do recognize my experience in a meaningful way that captures this and also goes beyond this conventional ideas of diversity? I haven't made up my mind yet on what I want to write about in my personal statement but I'm sure my experiences as an immigrant, queer woman of color will be inherently as part of what I write though not necessarily outwardly stated in this way. How could I write a meaningful diversity statement that is independent of my personal statement but is a complement to it.

Other question re: Extenuating circumstances addenda:

Though I don't necessarily think that my case is an "extenuating circumstance" I feel like this addenda is a great opportunity to address some of the gaps in my transcript. I mostly got A's and B's in undergrad but there are a couple of sprinkles of lower grades and a time where I had to drop a class. Throughout undergrad I had to piece together 2 - 3 jobs (which wasn't unusual around the people I knew) and was part of a lot different orgs which cause me to not prioritize specific classes -- would admitting this make it seem more like a weakness? I could see how I can write it in better light something along the lines of learning how to manage and balance, etc...

Thanks! If you have a chance to address this during the webinar that would be amazing!
