Wow, so HR blocked my previous boss from writing me a letter. I'm at the end of my rope for a fellowship and/or admission to a higher ranking school because of this. Gotta love professional life...
-
Thanks for the responses! I was literally email-accepted on Friday. No paper packet in hand, yet. It's coming "within the month." It's a huge decision to make at the ripe age of going-on 32 (add that as a woman I haven't procreated yet), and so the…

Plus, I thought that the FAFSA just determines how much Stafford or PLUS I get. That's what I want to avoid, where possible. I've been out of grad school since 2008, though, so I may be remembering incorrectly.
-
I do need to complete the FAFSA. One of my several employers hasn't released my W2, so I guess that I'll have to estimate my AGI without it. The schools to which I've applied have a deadline of March 15th.

Thanks. My GPA is 3.8 (median 3.34, 2015 entering). LSAT was 25th percentile, 2015 entering. So, I guess that I'm a low-high splitter since LSAT is "more important"...myLSN says that I'd be 100% in the "top 10%," though. I didn't pay sticker for …

Hey guys, So some good-ish news. My grad school prof/clinical director is open to the idea of the LOR. However, said prof wants me to provide a draft LOR. Any recs on that? I've started drafting a letter after jumping around the interwebs to se…
-
Thanks, guys! I'm working on requesting the LOR from a previous grad prof --- who unfortunately also moved on from the uni to another less prestigious uni. But hopefully there will be a bit more excitement in response to my humble request, this time…
-
Thanks, @"GSU Hopeful"! Best of luck to you, as well.

@Chrissy said: yeah my goal is to be a lawyer in family law and to start my own firm. So I get a double the negativity regarding wanting to start a law firm out of law school. This sounds incredible! It also sounds similar to my "vision" in that I…

Wowzers, I really struck gold with getting your attention, eh? Besides any potential debt, where my concern lies is ending up in the same/similar situation that I'm already in. I paid(am paying) nearly $100k for my master's in allied health from N…
-
Since this was my second round today since 2013, I have to say that it was helpful that I had a baseline and knew what to expect. Speaking to a handful of first-timers in line was interesting, and I found myself trying to chill them out (mama bear, …

@bSM45LSAT -- Well, it appears that perhaps at least the majority effed up the section. Ugh. May Lady Luck bless those cursed bubbles for us. At least now I can justify having drinner tonight.
-
If the real LG section is the one identified above, I had it right after the break, and I totally bombed because I lost my flow, despite getting my blood flowing, eating, and drinking. I really lost my cool, sadly, and ended up filling in bubbles ju…

Female INTJ. Redhead. Can't get rarer than that.

I resell mine on Amazon. Works like a charm
-
This is helpful. Thank you!
-
Thanks for clarifying, @Pacifico , reverse splitting. Can you please expand more on your idea of "waste?" Is it the time/effort in applying? The risk of being waitlisted/rejected? The prospect of crappy scholarship cash? I'm curious on your pers…

I bought a $9.99 watch from CVS. Ya know, a little painter's or masking tape placed just-so can transform a $9.99 watch into a 35 minute-ish or 180-ish watch.
-
Thanks, all!
-
Thanks so much, all! I think that I'll have to take a look at the 10% Happier book. And get back to a yoga practice.

31 here. Been in the healthcare industry for over six years. I've quit my full-time job to go into contract work to reduce weekly labor hours in the hopes of boosting my October prep & app process (LSAT try #2 since 2013). I'm fortunate to have …
-
Thank you both, this is very helpful! I think that my current problem is that indeed I'm trying too hard to retain all of the "whats" rather than focus on the "whys." I like the idea of reading more critically/suspiciously.
-
So, I'm skimming Ivey's book right now, and she says that only 0.1% of re-takers improve their scores and most people do worse on #2 & #3 LSAT. What's up with that statistic? Am I doomed even though I've significantly increased my study time thi…
-
@fuzzy228 I thought I had responded, but I guess Android ate it. What I had meant to say is that I did private tutoring with the Bibles and then studied on my own with them. I'm late to the game with The Trainer, but I can say that the Bibles are in…
-
I'm late to the game with the LSAT Trainer, and I would have to agree - put down the Bibles. They're incredibly clunky. I pretty much only use them for practice material at this point, but there is a bit of overlap between the two.
-
@ENTJ Thankfully, it happened riiiight after the person made it through the double doors. Kinda gave me a h@ly sh*t moment, as it happened a few minutes into the first section. I had wondered what I had gotten myself into, being that I was a first-t…
-
Don't forget The Vomiter? Yes, it happened in Dec 2013 at Northwestern.
-
Pray tell, @nicole.hopkins, how does one go about signing up for a free admissions consultation? I'm so behind the times...
-
I'm glad that you brought this up! What's the deal with minor traffic violations, such as a few ancient rectified speeding tickets or minor collisions (such as receiving a citation for a non-injurious rear-ending)? How much health history do you…
-
Thanks for the responses! Ugh, in the past week, I experienced a brief few hours of determination that part-time would be the better (more responsible?) option, but then you guys have some really good arguments about the potential negative conseque…
