It sounds like you can get a sweet job on your experiences alone. I would apply to law schools and go to one where I get a full ride. Your experiences plus a JD will put you in a nice spot.

I have used Kaplan and Blueprint resources. I have found nothing that makes more sense to me than the Trainer...... I've used 7sage free resources.... If I take the LSAT in June, I plan on purchasing a 7sage package where I have time to get my money out of it. I was too late for Feb. The Trainer has been a great help to me.

They placed my file on hold. Said if I could update with more information then do it but didn't have to and that I would still be considered when they see how applications shake out basically.
Yeah that's more or less waitlist, to my knowledge. I'd consider sending a LOCI.
How soon after today would a LOCI be appropriate?

When should a LOCI be sent? How long should I wait?

My #1 school sent an email and said a final decision has not been made?
I understand that this seems to mean they aren't sure whether or not to let me in? Why not waitlist? What should I do?
Situation.....
A certain law school has three levels of merit scholarships based on GPA/LSAT
Level 3- 5000, Level 2-8000, Level 1-12000
If you get accepted at a level 3 because of a low lsat and submit a seat deposit, would most law schools bind you to that amount? or could you retake the lsat and with a higher score and get a higher level scholarship, even though you have paid a seat deposit?
Thoughts?

Put it like this, for the program I'm shooting for all I need is in the upper 140's.... I was under that.... I was in the 140s, but not upper.... #dominated

All I did was look over the content of the test. Going in I knew what was going to be on it, the types of questions, how it was scored. I bought a couple blueprint books but nothing ever really clicked with me using those. I basically never learned "how" to take the test. I have taken many standardized tests for college and have never done poorly. I guess I was overconfident.... then I GOT OWNED! ....
I need to improve 5-8 points for February.... trust me I have plenty of room to improve.... if you are interested in giving some advice to me, message me and I'll give you my December stats.... for the sake of humiliating myself.... keep in mind i took it relatively cold, i know mistake..... i'm just struggling to even begin to know where to start....

Is there a wait period for a rejected application to a law school with rolling admissions? For example, if you apply in the fall and get rejected, can you reapply in the spring, or do you have to wait until the following calendar year?

I bombed LG and logical reasoning.... badly..... I had a blank on Reading Comp.... it's possible I messed my bubbles up..... let's just say Dec was a disaster but I'm not devastated..... I still have a chance to get in my school.... the problem is they strongly base scholarships on LSAT and GPA.... well, I'd hate to get in and not be able to afford to go.... If I can climb in the upper 140's.... that would change the percentile rank and put me in a potential new category of financial aid....
that is if I have a shot of getting in.... regardless I need to take it and need to increase by about 5.
Would 7sage benefit me more or the lsat trainer? I've heard both are great... I looked at blueprint, not impressed... can't afford all of powerscore... and heard bad things about kaplan this go around
Hey guys.
In short... I basically took my Dec. lsat cold...141... sucks I know.... the law school I want to go to has an evening program. A 145 would secure me.... Can I get this by Feb? with 7sage? Wanting to attend Northern Kentucky.... not a top school but it's my #1 school for a variety of reasons... my law mentor went there and it's in my state...
I had to focus time on finishing my doctoral project in leadership. Thankfully, I can breathe now and focus on the test. With my GPA and 141, the lsac calculator says I have a 50-70% chance of getting in.... I'm just not convinced....possible? I'm already signed up to retake so I don't need convincing....just curious where I would stand right now....
anyways, 7sage in a month and 1/2?
God bless my friends.
