Vandy. Most mobile school from what I've seen. I feel like WUSTL isn't as mobile outside the Mid-West area. This becomes an issue if you are trying to go to CA. If you're getting serious money from theses 2 schools, you are definitely in the ball game for USC and UCLA. You may want to consider those two schools if you don't mind sitting out a cycle.

That being said, if money is a big issue than WUSTL may be the way to go. Just need to align up your plans and what you are willing to do.

Good Luck!!!

So I was rejected from USC not sure why entirely but it is what it is. Im WL at UCLA and Northwestern currently so I'm waiting to see what they say. Also can you explain what you mean by "mobile school", haven't heard that before so I'm a bit confused. thanks!

Not sure if it’s too late but big law at either of those schools is worse than a coin flip. If you’re set on LA and you want big law you might do better with UCLA, USC, Loyola, or another California school.

But Vanderbilt has the best % of graduates in the past 3 years going to Big Law post graduation outside of the T14 schools.

Do you have an idea of the location you would like to practice?

Yes I want to practice in Los Angeles after graduation.

This last weekend was a major deposit deadline for them. The interview is the same as the first except there is a timed writing portion (15min sections) also

Awesome! ty, I was a bit confused as to why they would have a second interview if its the same thing. Do you remember what the writing portion was about ?

You are going to want to have a few components.

Thank them for their consideration. Tell them they are still your first choice. Tell them why they are your first choice(be specific with examples of programs, a personal connection, or maybe things you found out on a visit). Provide any other updates(grades, increasedwork responsibility, ect.). Tell them you will inform them before committing to any other school(so they know your continued interest will last a while). Then thank them again for their time and their continued review of your application.

And when will it be best to send them a letter such as this ?

You’ll need a header (with your name, LSAC number, and “Personal Statement 1 (page number)”), but I don’t think you should have a special title for your statement.

Got it, I'm a bit confused about this:

So would it be Personal Statement 1 on the first page and Personal Statement 2 on the second?

I also took it at the same location (Long Beach) and they took away my watch 5 min before I entered the room, I agree the conditions were horrible. The bathroom rule is completely ridiculous; people were waiting since 8am and had to use the bathroom. I think it was a huge mistake to put all those people in one room; too many factors for them to be able to control and keep things organized.

I shall make a trip to the local liquor store then

While waiting in line the so called proctors were actually checking inside the bags and 2 of the ladies told me that everything was fine. But once I got to the front the main guy who was in charge of everything tells me that I would have to toss it. Also I just spoke with the LSAC over the phone and the person said that it’s ok to use the watch. So I don’t know what the hell happened :/

Regular splitter: GPA ( 25th, LSAT) 75th

Reverse splitter: GPA > 75th, LSAT ( 25th(/p)

Soooo in my case I would be a reverse splitter for the school I am looking at applying. How does one determine or approximate the chances of getting in to that school if you are a splitter ?
