@mes08 I'm going to send you a message soon! I have a few questions for you!
-
Take a few practice tests at least. Look at the score you get and then look at the scores for the schools you want to get into. Odds are, you're going to need more than one month of prep.

@notwilliamwallace Yeah I heard that -- I tried finding the specific test date for the country I'll be in and was unable to. I sent a message to the LSAC administrators about this and will hopefully hear back about it soon. @stepharizona Thanks! I…

When I decided to publish this post I did not anticipate all the support and encouragement I would receive from everyone. I want to thank you all for being so reassuring and pushing me in a direction you would want for yourself (or your kids!). @ta…

@JHAldy10 said: I’d sleep from about 5pm - 1am. Then, I’d wake up at 1 and study until 6 am, then go to work. I was still exhausted, but the brunt of the exhaustion hit during work where I could handle it a lot better since work didn’t require th…

@2RARE2CARE said: I think your goal is unrealistic tbh I completely agree with this.

Just make sure it isn't redundant and that you have several people (who know what theyre doing) look it over. Make sure it isnt a recap of your resume, or an add on of your personal statement, and that it doesnt rehash other things available in your…

I would say yes. A diversity statement doesn't have to be about race/ethnicity, economic status, etc. It can be a story about what makes you different (some people write about how they lost weight, others have written stories about their anxieties, …

@MrSamIam said: All I know is, by around 8 P.M., I'm tired. Not tired as in "bored." But, slightly exhausted - think tipsy...slightly buzzed, what have you. Usually it depends on the 'type' of exhaustion I'm feeling. If I'm starting to zone out …

I'm interested in hearing more as well! Did any of you prepare for law school (either by taking a course or reading some books or even outlining) before actually starting? Did it work for you?
-
another good way to check is to go to lawschoolnumbers.com, select the school, and then sort through the applicants and see how many people have heard back, when they submitted, etc. if you still are having trouble and want a direct answer, just cal…

No, different colleges have different degree requirements. Mine required 196 credit hours to graduate, but a neighboring college asked for only 102. Credit hours are generally inconsequential. You have no control over them, and graduating early isn'…

@lamullinga said: I would like to include at least some of these in the resume, but not all. Only include them if you're trying to make a point of something in either your personal statement, or addenda. But otherwise, they will not help you and …

Congrats!

I think the quickest possible improvement you could make at this point is trying to get a higher score in LG and maybe even RC. I find, at least from personal experience, that the slowest improvement comes from LR. Don't forget to review all section…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: addenda probably only make sense if there's a good reason for them—or if you really do need to "fill in the gap" for admissions staff because you DID have a good reason for such an aberrant grade I agree with this, but also…

I'm interested in this course as well and was wondering the same thing as @mes08 -- anyone know?
-
Do not write an addendum, unless you withdrew from or failed a class then writing an addendum will only hurt you in this circumstance. It seems unnecessary.
