Also to answer your question about previous job experience I was an insurance adjuster that worked with attorneys actually... I investigated fraud and handled bodily injuries :) SO it is relevant and I was pretty good at it... I just really went at it with my boss due to human rights issues and that he was an asshole that treated people poorly. Sorry he still gets me fired up... I have never met a bigger jerk in my life. So I can use that experience because it actually gave me a lot of insight into the legal system, I was able to go to mediation, court, and I negotiated with 100s of attorneys all over the US. I will include it that is for sure.

Thanks guys... I am pretty big into volunteer work and public service and I have already decided my personal statement was going to reflect that... I have been working on that for quite some time and it is finally at a point that all my readers are like yeah it is good... I am going to send it off for professional editing and call it a day... but then I started reading about the resume and I was like... ugh. Another thing that shows how poorly I did in college because I rather have had fun... like I semi referenced to that in my personal statement... that I took education for granted because of my time volunteering in Guatemala... I really am a changed woman... you know stuff you learn in your 30s

an to piggy back even further.... should I write an addendum for my GPA??? I mean it was 10 years ago and I was pretty damn childish so again that is not really worthy of a paper... because it was the truth. It wasn't because I was ill... or had to take care of ill parents... it was literally because I wanted to go out with friends. Sigh. the application is just as stressful as the LSAT. Any help would be great guys. I know this is two buffaloes and I should take one on a time... but I do need to start taking care of this stuff....

Also why is CAS so expensive? (that was me bitching... and rhetorical, unless of course you know why then please share)

resumes...

OK guys... so it is time to start cracking down and getting that application all pretty... except, I am a non traditional student that just decided to up and quit her job last year to volunteer and I don't know... not work??? I mean I do work now in retail a girl does have bills... but her is my issue.... I want to go to Texas A&M in Ft. Worth... they want a resume... here is the description...

The applicant’s educational background, honor societies, military service, extracurricular activities, public/community service, honors and awards, publications, foreign language proficiencies, and any other significant achievements and involvements.

Educational Background- ok easy... except I you know, like most typical non traditional students... drank and partied too much and I sure do not have any honors.... I mean I have a year I could go back to school... but that is a last resort

military service- None

Extracurricular activities... I am pretty sure jet setter and binge novel reader isn't really an answer.... any other ideas??? or things I could do to make this look better... remember I am 35 and a decade removed from college...

Public Community Service- I am going to discuss working with kids in Costa Rica and volunteering with an animal shelter in Mexico... I am also about o start volunteering with various human rights groups here in Dallas... I also make chew toys for the local animal shelter out of recycled materials... I do a lot of community service thankfully this might be my saving grace.

Publications- Sounds cool... not published. Open to ideas.

Foreign Language... sigh still not fluent in Spanish... but getting better every day. I would like to list Spanish but I am assuming they want fluency... not hoping to be fluent someday.

Any other significant achievements... I got nada... I have 6 months to achieve something so I am open to ideas.

Guys I am frustrated... I can discuss work history... but quitting a job to volunteer in Costa Rica & Mexico... then coming back and working in retail just doesn't sound great you know???

Along with the LSAT this my current "Admissions" hot topic... so give me ideas guys I need them...

Thanks

-The pretty boring Jen.

pretty excited about this... I have been holding off on burning the PT tests for when I decided to take the test and I am just anxious to see where I am testing now... but until the Sept study group is official I am just going through the CC because even though I have completed it I am still falling for traps... freaking LSAC.

I'm back and have a question

Hey 7-sagers.

Anyway I'm back from my Central American adventure and it is time to get serious! Are there any DFW study groups out there??? I'm taking the June LSAT and I'm ready to get my 180 or at least a 165 lol I think a study group would be a fun (but serious) way to dissect the LSAT. Let me know!

The ADHD struggle is very real which is honestly why I decided to give myself a full year of prep so I can start off slow and steady

Thanks guys it gets worse the longer I sit. I am currently studying a hour a day as I have 7 months until I test. Mostly because life is chaotic right now I'm going to increase 2-3 hours at the first of the year and I'm hoping with practice I'll focus better.

It's just insane I forgot how much I struggled in college with studying.

I might apply for accommodations I'm still on the fence

Thanks guys

Timing for my ADHD folks

So I am ADHD but truthfully I have not been medicated in years, well since college. I am pretty positive I will have to go back on meds for law school... but anyway I digress... I am finding I am getting frustrated and bored during the sections and then I start rushing to finish and we all know how that can turn out. What are tips you have for that??? I am beginning to wonder if I should go back on medication to help study... but like most adhd folks I hate being on the meds because I feel zombified. How do you keep focused? Even if you are not ADHD I am willing to listen, because I am just drilling 35 minute sections right now... When I start taking tests at the first of the year... I really do not want to burn valuable tests... because of this. Anyway thoughts? and don't worry if you think I need to medicate I won't get offended because my mom and dad informed me I needed to get back on medication so I can nail the test anyway lol

PS miss chatting LSAT with you guys...

Hey I wanted to jump in on this one, just like you practice the law you will have to practice the LSAT. It is learnable and you will have moments where you go aha! and it will be a point jump. You are starting at a great point because you have plenty of time to practice and learn before you sit for the LSAT. You are 100% in the right place and you can totally do this, there are countless stories were people have improved 20 points and more with hard work! Welcome!

After completing the CC

I have been flagging questions that maybe didn't sink in as I go, so I can go back an review. After you complete the CC would you go ahead and take a PT? and then go back and refresh where you are weak?? or would you go back and refresh on skills you didn't pick up well? I am not sure if I am ready to burn tests just yet since I am going to be traveling and teaching ESL so I am wondering if I should just keep going over CC and then take the tests closer to when I take the LSAT... which right now to be honest is in the air... as I have gave myself a window of Dec through June... and accepted it is ok to start law school in Fall of 2018... I just know I am going to finally be complete with CC soon and I don't want to burn precious tests if I am better reviewing.. or should I burn a 40s test to see where I am and start over??? Sorry my ADHD brain thinks about this stuff and won't shut off until I have a plan ha! Thanks guys!
