So I took the LSAT for the first time this June, and after getting my score back I'm sitting on my hands wondering how I should proceed. I got a 170, which I know is a good score, but I feel kind of frustrated upon seeing the disclosures on my mistakes. I didn't enroll in the July test, so I would have to sit for it in September (prepping for another 3 months is...not ideal). I'm not sure whether it's worth trying again or if I should sit tight with this score.
@ Go into "Credentials & CAS" tab then go to "Transcript Status/Add Institutions," then on the right-hand side there's a link for "Academic Summary Report." It should give you the breakdown of what the adcom will see!
Just so you know, that's around the time that people are making their seat deposits, so while it depends on the school, April is probably out of the question.
Hello, 7Sagers! Getting to the end of my checklist on these application materials and reached the dreaded résumé.
I pursued a graduate program after finishing my bachelor's. Did it for a year. Left afterwards. What language should I be using on my résumeé to reflect that I didn't complete the program? Right now I have "[Degree] candidate" as opposed to simply having the degree by itself. Will it be self-explanatory due to the fact that the date only spans one year? I want to make sure that I'm being clear, but don't want to create a negative impression in doing so.
Bumping for the last question asked. Also, what happens in the case of there being a couple of gaps in our resume? Do we explain them all in one addendum?
People are pretty active on the law admissions sub-Reddit.
Pretty sure all Asian people, regardless of ethnicity, aren't counted as URM. It's quite flawed, since umbrella != disaggregated data, but that's my understanding. Either way, you aren't responsible for identifying yourself as URM, the adcomms are, so it's hard to say. Also being first gen is definitely a soft factor!
