    I’d love to see a blog regarding people who have been out of school10+ years, and what that means in terms of how relevant our gpa is and if writing a diversity statement is a must.

    Blog post I would love to see: managing a lower LSAC UGPA vs. higher transcript GPA because of a gap in education and attending two or more undergrad institutions.

    (Context: The LSAC gpa would be lower due to a lower GPA at the first undergrad school, with a 3 year gap before starting again and graduating with honors.)

    Hello! I would greatly appreciate a blog post on the process for re-applying to law schools if goal schools are not attained the first time around. Are new letters of recommendation necessary? Should an applicant ask permission of a recommender to use the same letter twice? Is that letter retained in LSAC after initial application? Is a new LSAT score necessary if moving from applying toward the end of the application period this year to the beginning of the application period the following year? - Thank you!

    Ideas for a blog post:
    1. Does it matter whether we attend the info sessions of different law schools and meet with the admission staff? Some tips on what questions to ask the office of admission would be appreciated.
    2. For international students, how to write a diversity statement?

    Hope to win the "Edit Giveaway" :blush:

    I would love to see a blog post regarding employment statistics, region by region.

    For instance in Midwest, Chicago and Northwestern takes up the big chunk of Biglaw jobs. Does that mean it's a battle royal among the rest (WUSTL, ND, UIUC)? What are alternative routes that seem plausible (like joining BIG4 as a consultant)? etc, etc.

    Frankly, roughly three percent of LSAT takers end up scoring 170+. Employment statistics among the region would, at very least, broaden the scope.

    A key take away from the webinar is that everyone should consider an binding early decision application.

    Blog idea: Other than studying for the LSAT full-time, what is the best way to make the most of a gap year? What are things we should absolutely be doing besides studying and preparing apps?

    Thank you for the webinar, David!

    Thank you for hosting the webinar. Can you please do a blog on advantages/disadvantages of deferring the LSAT to January and thus applying sometime in February. Thanks in advance

    Thanks for hosting this webinar! Tip: Resumes don't have to be limited to 1 page (unless a school specifies that it does), but make sure that you actually need the second page.

    Thanks for hosting the webinar! Would love to see a blog on what to include and what to omit in a letter of recommendation from a non-academic source, especially for those who have been in the workforce for many years.

    Would be awesome to see a blog post on people who have applied to law school later in life. Pros/Cons and just general thoughts
    .

    Emphasis points of a non-academia recommendation. I.e focus on character or community service activities?
