Job termination C & F

Hey guys so some schools ask directly if you have been terminated or dismissed from a place of employment as one of the C & F questions.

I've attached an addendum explaining my case for that question.

For some schools, though, they don't directly ask employment termination questions. Do I just leave it out?

Or put it under C & F question pertaining to "Academic dismissal, probation, termination from college, university, post secondary institution"? Even though mine was an actual job and not a school or college.

Thanks all.

Are you taking the January test?

At this point, I don't think I will take the January test.

Hey guys, looking for some advice.

So like 6 or 7 of the schools I am looking at, both my GPA and LSAT fall smack dab in the 25% percentile for that school's class last cycle, per their respective admissions website.

Is it of any worth to apply to them? Maybe apply to couple as reach schools? I don't want to sink money into applying for them if I don't really stand a chance as 25% range for both their GPA and LSAT.

Yeah, LR really wrecked me. Both sections, but the 1st LR section, I never missed that many questions in a LR section in any of my practice tests. Feelsbadman.

Got exactly the same score as what I was scoring on my PT average. Exactly the same. Not a point more or less.

Got massacred on LR, but did the best I have ever done on LG (my weakest section by far so was pretty surprised). Scored my average on RC.

LR... was just brutal.

I guess I'm trying to find out whether, if I submit my apps now, and the schools subsequently request my law school report from LSAC, would LSAC even send in the reports because my file is missing the letters?

Or would my CAS file basically be incomplete and sitting in purgatory until the letters are received by LSAC?

Have you tried putting the applications into your cart and getting through to the payment page? If you get there, then maybe they send everything on file and just update law schools when your CAS updates. But what I was saying is that I'm not sure if LSAC even lets you get through to the payment page without assigning LORs.

Ya it did get me to the cart and payment page.

@jasminejudge480 yeah I'm kind of confused how CAS and LORs work. If I submit my individual applications to each school without my CAS being complete (no LORs in my file yet), does that mean Law School Reports will not be sent to law schools when they request it?

Submit with no LORs?

Hey guys, so it looks like I won't get my 2 letter writers to turn in their LORs until 2-3 weeks from now. I have everything else completed. Once I get my LSAT score this Saturday, should I submit my apps? Or wait until my 2 letters are in to CAS?

Thanks.

So you gave lawyers coffee and are wondering why they didn’t talk to you about ethics? Ok...

We are all here to ask questions and receive help, in a friendly and supportive environment.

If you thought this questions was "beneath" you, you didn't have to reply.

The ways you replied to people in this post were very condescending and uncalled for, as others have already noted.

In any case, I sincerely hope I don't meet a dick like you in law school.

The fact that you are asking this suggests that you don't know much about law school or the lawyering profession. It also suggests that you haven't talked to lawyers or people who have went to law school.

Dude, that's why I'm trying to go to law school, isn't it? But thanks for this uhhh... helpful... comment.

Hey guys, so is it recommended to always waive your right to see your LOR?

A brief search here seems to indicate that is so. Just wanted to confirm.

Also, if I do waive the right, would it be unethical to ask my recommender to see a copy of the letter before he submits it? Just trying to do the right thing.

Thanks!

You'll submit them to each school via the school's online application. Each application has an attachments section that lets you upload the relevant documents.

Awesome, thank you.

Dumb question- application

Hey guys, so I have a dumb question. I just started my CAS stuff on LSAC.org. But where do I write and submit my PS, resume, etc?

Do they have to be individually submitted to individual schools, or through CAS?

Ah goddamn it, I just remembered I screwed myself.

I drank a whole can of Red Bull right before the test thinking it could really jolt me up for the test. I needed it because I was half asleep from driving an hour to get to the test center.

I used the restroom right before, but midway through the 2nd section, logic games, I just had to go. Knowing I still had the 3rd section before the break, I went to the restroom. Wasted precious time, at least 2 minutes. Definitely cost me a point or two by going to the restroom.

Or course, I find out after the test, the 3rd section for my test, the LR with 26 questions, was experimental. I really wish I had waited until the 3rd section to take the piss, but obviously I didn't know that was experimental during the test.

Now I'm just kicking myself for drinking that diuretic right before the test. F me and my judgment.

I'm trying to spin it positively, telling myself the caffeine probably made me more alert during the rest of the test, helping me. Still I'm kicking myself.

It's Monday morning post-LSAT and I am lost with what to do with my time since I am not studying. Anyone feeling the same weird way? Lol

Gosh yes! I feel so unproductive. I've been binge watching some TV shows when I know I should be working on apps smh.

Yes apps...part 2 of the process...i told myself i would take this week off, celebrate Thanksgiving with my family bc my nose has been in the books for months and come Monday I'll get right back on it.... any shows to recommend?

Hey that is a good idea. I was going to start my apps right away today, but man, I am so freaking burned out from months of nonstop studying. I've just been lounging around.

I think I will take this week off too, and start those apps Monday after Thanksgiving.

Besides, it's completely useless to submit my apps before my LSAT score from Saturday gets released.

Try Haunting of the Hill House on Netflix. Fair warning though, it's pretty sad. More sad than scary, haha.

I messed up on the last game of the real LR. The one with Saturday- Sunday sequencing. I drew the diagram with only 6 days instead of 7 and only realized this mistake at the 5 minute warning. I bubbled c for the answers for this game. Got through mining and still had 13 minutes left. Thought the fourth game was the hard one because I messed up my diagram! Can’t believe it!

Two questions:

Is the AC order the same for everyone within each question?

If so, does anyone remember how many if any Cs were correct ACs for this game?

I think there may have been couple C's, but honestly I can't really remember.

Lol. The converse happened to me, where I had to bubble all C's for the mining game. I know there were only 5 Qs for this game, but do you remember if any correct ones were C's?

the movie passage was absurdly difficult to parse. Started off ok and by the end I had no idea what the purpose was.

Same here. It started off fine, but then they started talking about musicals and realism on the 2nd half, and I was like what... the... f... is this??

I can't speak for this year's actual LSATs, given this was my first ever official test.

But you're right OP, compared to the PTs I have taken, questions were much less cookie cutter and harder. There were quite a few questions where you came down to 2 very attractive ACs. You could literally argue for your answer being correct IMHO. Of course, LSAC hedges itself by making you choose "the most" or "the best". I thought this held true for both LR and RC.

I only practiced with PT 50s and below, because of my Premium package. I would caution others that these earlier tests, although very good practice, are not completely representative of what I faced yesterday.

Any thoughts on RC? Everyone has been talking games and lr? I actually found rc challenging although nothing too hard.

I feel you. Some of the questions were tricky as hell.

The 2nd passage, about the movies and musical, was the hardest of the set. Like the second part of the passage took such a shitty turn, I was like goddamn man wtf.

Even the very first passage (the easiest of the bunch), I forget the topic (Indus?), had one tricky question at the end.

The double passage was pretty hard too. That crap about blame and free will. Ughhh.

The last passage, the universe and multiverse, was not easy either. The passage was decent, but questions were tricky and of course time is always an issue with the last passage.
