If you poke around TLS, there is a thread that shows how many admits from each T14 comes off the waitlist. For some schools being on the waitlist is better than others - if I recall correctly, getting off the waitlist at Harvard is statistically eas…

Unless you are dead set on public interest in Canada, come on down to the states. I don't know much about UBC and legal academia in Canada, but tbh working in legal academia with your current US options is probably not super viable. If you want to …

Congrats @palexandra !!

One more bone to pick...Harvard says that it wants to accept the GRE to help students defray costs associated with admissions tests. It's true that prepping well for the LSAT is hard, time-consuming, and expensive. It's not accessible to many people…

As flawed and frustrating as the LSAT process is....I'm really confused as to how on earth this is going to work? I haven't taken the GRE, but I think that for most people it would take substantially less work to earn a 99th percentile GRE score th…

It looks like Rutgers had two separate law schools before 2015. They merged in 2015 and I am guessing that their combined resources is now yielding a better overall ranking.

@EmmaWI88 said: @stgl1230 DO TELL PLEASE. Sorry if my post sounded juicy, I didn't mean for it to sound that way! I didn't apply to any Boston schools. I just heard lots of complaints from friends. They had numbers that should put them in ac…

Hasn't GULC fallen out of the #14 spot before? I feel like GULC and UT have switched spots at least once but maybe I'm making it up? Also I wouldn't worry about Berk too much. Rankings fluctuate year to year. It happens. It's still T14 for a reason…

Just popping in to wish you the best of luck @"Alex Divine" . I think one of your posts was the first thing I saw when I joined 7Sage, so I know you've been at this a while. Not the advice you're looking for, but maybe just take a couple of weeks a…

Hey there! Not sure what "middling" GPA means, but if it's anything below a 3.6 I'd aim to score 170+ on the LSAT to be competitive at a T14. If you're at a 3.7 and up, you can definitely get into a lower T14 without hitting 170. I think that plent…

@accountformerlyknowasvd1988 You're right, there are definitely paths other than big law - it's just that often times, the schools that give you the best shot at big law are going to give you the best shot at everything else. With regards to small/…

@accountformerlyknowasvd1988 Get on that F5 game (or not if you use a Mac)!

It's hard to define "normal" with law schools, especially with this cycle. It's been a very slow cycle. However, if you're waiting 6+ months for a response...that's probably not normal and you are probably dinged or WLd. Personally, I heard back fr…

Hi Nicole, there are two ways that US News refers to "unranked" schools. The first category is truly "unranked" - I think that these schools did not supply US News with enough information for them to make an assessment. It looks like Regent falls in…

Hey @cleveron CONGRATS! That is an amazing score. I don't know if anyone knows the chances of your score going down. There isn't a lot of precedent here. I really don't know if it's worth the risk though. A 172 is a perfectly good score for HYS, a…

If you have over $100k from Northwestern, I'd take it. Northwestern is an AWESOME school. Its big law numbers are great, especially in Chicago. Plus, with your connections, Northwestern with money is an easy sell imo. You don't even need to be at t…

OK not to be that person but I'm going to say it again: do you not have other T14 offers with money? I get why you don't want $300k in debt. That's really not fun, and it may not be worth it for many people. But the offers you have (or at least lis…

Chicago law, without a trust or rich parents, is going to cost you over $300k + interest in debt. Chicago gives you the best job prospects. But even if you make $170k+ as an associate, you're basically going to be living like a pauper for a long tim…

@Takamine No problem! Just remember: negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. Hopefully you have offers from peer schools to negotiate. Financial aid offices should be expecting negotiation emails anyway, and they will definitely understand your position a…

Hey @sewellsarah I like your plans! I think it doesn't hurt to reference your PS in your optional essay. Since your PS states your career goals, your optional essay about X school's specific education law curriculum will help you achieve that goal.…

Hi @Takamine, not an international student, but if you have a family member or a close friend that is a US citizen or permanent resident, they can cosign an American loan for you (not a government loan, but some other kind). Otherwise you are stuck …

Have you tried using the Study Buddy tool on the Dashboard? Looks like there are a lot of 7Sagers in the Atlanta area.
