I'm about to wrap up the application process, and to pass time I've been watching videos of moot court arguments, but I've watched mostly Yale and Harvard students. It seems so intimidating given how quickly they talk and the questions they're asked. Are all law school 1L presentations like this? I think I'm getting ahead of myself because I'm judging myself based on how well I can follow along with their arguments but i'm not even a law school student yet! Do you feel you've been well prepared to argue like these people on youtube?? I'm nervous now even though I was excited about law school before.

Thank you for breaking it down (and congratulations for getting into a great law school!)
I agree with you on all the above, only one school that I went to visit I was told at the end of the first year everyone participates in an oral argument in front of judges, it's required!
thanks sprinkles and LSATcantwin Yes but I'd still appreciate any feedback from anyone
thank you both
is there any chance they read the div statement first? It's ok I'm not thrilled with it no matter how I write it but definitely want to include, happier with Personal statement though
thank you! does anyone agree/disagree?
do I also have to double space them? How long do they each have to be? no requirements written on the schools website.Can they be 10 point font smallest?
fantastic congratulations! did you write a letter of continued interest while on the waitlist? and did either of your jobs have to do with the legal field?
oh wow, ok thanks guys!!
sorry Kermit, which app are you referring to? lsac app?
very helpful advice, thanks so much to each of you!!
Do schools know it can they see on your file that you've registered for an upcoming lsat? anyone sure of the answer to this one?
Hi is there anyone who is certain of the answer to this question -
when reapplying to the same school that you didn't get into the first time, can you submit the same letters of references and personal statement, if the only issue was your lsat score so you're reapplying with better score and that's it? I've been out of school a long time and LOR's were really hard to come by
no problem love this forum :) thank you and best of luck :)
I'll email the editors, thank you akistotle

What is the best way to contact 7sage with questions about this? I have two questions:
I've written an addendum and feeling very so so about it. How do I go about getting help with just that portion of my application, are there 7sage teachers here who can help? Thanks
oy your comment is really helpful and now I'm conflicted :D someone suggested that a so-so diversity statement can hurt you even if you have a good personal statement so better to not include it
I don't feel so good about my diversity statement though I did make an effort. Everywhere i'm reading I see it's encouraged to write a diversity statement, especially for me since I'm of a different culture. I guess my question is can you still get in with just a personal statement or do most people make the effort to add to their application package even if it's not such a great diversity statement
thanks so much your response helps! your profile name gave me a much needed smile too thanks :) anyone else who knows of success stories feel free to c hime in :)
woohoo! you go!!! :wink: :smiley:
