Hi @kosterd1-1, this is a great question! As always, it depends. At the beginning of the cycle, admissions officers tend to calibrate based on goals and priorities handed down by the law school dean and the university. As the class begins to take sh…

Hi @awhitehurst7, thanks so much for your question! Yes, for most schools, their system automatically attaches previous application files to the new one, so they will be able to reference all previous materials.

There's still time to sign up!

Hi @PineapplePizzaSucks and all reading, former admissions officer here! While I think that the person who asked the initial question is probably no longer looking for an answer to this, a response may still benefit others. This can be one of those …

Hi @katelopez8832, former law admissions office here! For the purposes of that applicataion, you're only considered a reapplicant if you applied there in a previous cycle. The dismissal will be addressed elsewhere within the application. Warmly, T…

Reminder--don't forget to register for tonight's panel!

Hi @LSATstudier22, former admissions officer here. It depends on the school's process. Many law schools will intentionally hold applications where they see that the candidate is registered for or anticipating a future LSAT score; however, you'll wan…

Hi @alonsogar, thanks for joining us! Once the recording is edited, it will be posted to our podcast. There will be an announcement here in the discussion forum under "Podcasts," and it will also be accessible via Apple Podcast, Google Play, Spotify…

Hi @kendra24, thank you so much for your question! Honestly, this is a subjective thing. I've read thousands of statements, and I have zero preference on conjunction use. I've never seen a candidate dinged for using conjunctions or heard any committ…

Hi @goforbroke, thank you so much for joining us! The other consultants were Jennifer Kott and Jenifer Godfrey.

Hi @kolerv9923-1, reports tend to include more than just ranking indicators.
-
Hi @ltg25, thank you for your question! Former admissions officer here. Is it worth the agony? It depends. The median isn't the top reportable number that law schools have to report to the ABA and US News––the 75th percentile is. For schools like Ya…

Hi @aysoliman1, the recording is being edited and will be posted to our podcast soon! We hope that the LSAT went well!
-
Hi @"Diane Vega", no, a LOCI is not sufficient. You need a new PS. They'll be able to read your previous PS, because that file will be attached to your new application. Think about the ways in which you've grown in the past cycle and ways that you'v…

Hi @pinkjen-1, within the next few weeks, I believe! We have our recordings edited for sound quality, but as soon as it's ready, an announcement will be posted here in the discussion forum.

Hi @bellahyeon14, It's not a bad idea to send them in now. CAS evaluations for international transcripts can take a while, so it's good to get what you can in as early as possible.
-
Hi @"Diane Vega", thank you for your question. Submitting the same materials is likely to garner the same decision. Fresh materials are best--your previous application will be attached to your new one, so if your documents look the same (or substant…

Hi @blb65, thank you for your question! This really depends on how involved this person is with your work. A supervisor would really be preferred here over the donor nine times out of ten, because they're going to have a lot more to say specifically…
-
Hi @elibrawerman, former admissions officer here. You do need to submit both transcripts--all transcripts that include undergrad courses, whether they transferred or not, must be submitted to LSAC. Best of luck to you!

Hi @legal_eagle, thank you for your question! We will have this episode posted within the next few days--you'll see it posted here in the discussion forum! -Tajira

Hi @janenham0510, thank you for joining us!! We're so glad that you found it helpful. Stay tuned for more webinars coming soon! - Tajira

Hi @Alice003, thank you for asking! We are currently editing the recordings and will post the episode to our podcast (and this discussion forum) as soon as it becomes available!
-
Hi @nightnight, thank you for your questions! If you end up reapplying, it's not uncommon to reuse LORs from the previous cycle. Some candidates will ask recommenders to refresh the date and add new information if there are any updates to share--thi…
-
Hi @anna.g.velez-1, the answer to this question actually depends on what schools you're applying to. If you're applying anywhere in the T14 to maybe T25, I'd aim earlier--October is a good target. For schools with March 1 deadlines, January isn't al…
-
Hi @"Lime Green Dot", thank you for your question! Honestly, it depends. It never hurts to provide context, and so I typically advice candidates to err on the side of candor--sometimes there's more to the story than just a change in major. Sometimes…
-
Hi @Ashleigh, thank you so much for your question! In terms of C&F, two DWIs would not automatically trigger a denial; however, an admissions committee would probably look closely at the statement to understand the circumstances and what steps h…

@Non-Stop thanks so much for joining us!!

Hi All--just a reminder, this session is TONIGHT!! There is still space for folks to register, and we hope to see you there! -Tajira
-
@ashleygarcia2021 that's great!! We'll look forward to seeing you there!

Hi @inioluwa.ade, thank you for your question! It would be best to use a reference that has knowledge about multiple aspects of your candidacy. Use your best judgment!
