From what I am hearing from coaches, the farther out you go, the less important your GPA is. You have a decent number in a science. It is not like you had a 2.0. And, LSAT counts for more than GPA. Of course, if you can bump that up, all the better.…
I have been reading all of the how to get into law school books. If it were I, would do personal statement on something you learned when you working with youth or in your social work career. You make your personal statement like a short, short story…
One of my buddies does admissions for med school. He said they always keep at least one spot a year for someone who is older and who had really lousy grades but crushes the MCAT. They get that people have real lives and real problems sometimes.

As a surgeon for many, many years who is planning on getting a JD, I would say to go for if it is part of your dream. Medical school and surgical residency is different now than when I did it before there were work hour restrictions. Even so, depend…

Everybody has problems. 2. It is so competitive that they can fill your numbers slot with somebody who doesn't have that. 3. If it's ADD everybody has it. 4. If it is more serious they worry about you finishing. 4. Three sentences max on "obstacles…
This may seem like a funny thing for me to say (I am taking the GRE).... if it were I, signing up for the paid part of the 7Sage program would be first on my list of things to do. I had thought about LSAT and worked through the course, got help from…
One thing I did hear at a law school fair from an ad director is that particular school usually took any faculty who worked there. As for undergrads, I think it can't hurt you. You made the decision to live in that city and come onto campus once. Al…
