Thanks for weighing in.

I spoke with someone at the school yesterday. They said three pages would be fine given how long I've been in my industry. I have cut mine down to that number. I had started with four pages! :joy:

Best of luck to you as well.

Hi Jess.

You mention provincial registrations so if you are in Canada and applying to Canadian schools I have no idea whatsoever.

If you are in the US:

Not sure what schools you are targeting but the 7Sage admissions primer and Miriam and Kristi's podcast (they are the assistant deans of admissions at Yale and Harvard respectively) have some great tips.

For the resume, as a non-traditional candidate with a ton of experience the best advice I have seen is to leave only the "biggest hits" on your resume. The app will ask for work experience, so they will have everything there. Focus the resume around the jobs that are most meaningful to you and you want to present yourself with.

Now depending if you have publications or awards that may be something you want to include as well. With your tenure and accomplishments you may be closer to that 2-page side.

Another caveat, if you have been mostly working at the same company, you may want to really focus around what you are highlighting for each title. Either way, they say the admissions team will read 2 bullets and may glance at a 3rd, so brevity is key.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

I am in Ontario, Canada and applying to a local law school.

It was my first time too. I can totally relate. The good news is that we can try again. At least next time we have had one exposure already.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Unfortunately I do not have any insight to share with you, just empathy. I have not done my writing sample yet. Does the system provide spell check?

Just took it. My LG was incredibly easy compared to PTs. My RC seemed really difficult relative to my PTs, though. I had Locke/adult education, larvae vs ants, lying politicians, and copyright. I think I did really poorly on RC, and I'm praying that all my misses there are balanced out by a -0 LG. As for LR, I thought overall it was fine, but there were a few really tricky ones -- stealing wood from national park, low sodium diets, and more that I've blocked out of my memory already lol. LR seemed to be a toss up between really easy (like almost deceptively easy, causing me to do a lot of second guessing and probably choosing the wrong AC out of fear of falling into a trap) and really challenging. I think I was thrown in LR because usually the section increases in difficulty as the questions go on, but I thought a lot of questions were really hard right off the bat and then (deceptively?) easy towards the end. Anyway, best of luck to everyone! I'm gonna try not to obsess too much, but I'm sure I will...

I had same exam as you. When does the result comes? 2 or 3 weeks?. LG 3rd game screwed me up, first two werent bad. Being a physician I had to answer the salt question haha. Probably spent little bit more time but past knowledge helped.

@ I think results are released July 1st.
