@lc829-1 what's up! Yeah, I'm from Barranquilla and came to the U.S. for college. Don't really know if we are URMs technically to be honest, but the diversity and your story definitely help! I wouldn't think about it too much man, just put your best…

Let's call the GRE course "7Sage Harvard"

I recommend you read this and follow this advise above all else: https://law.yale.edu/admissions/jd-admissions/ask-asha/speaking-law-school-scams

Are you going to ask the applicants what their favorite 90's pop band is again?
-
Thank you! And hope to see you on the admitted students weekend at NU soon!
-
@westcoastbestcoast they are not synonymous.
-
Holy crap!

Yeah, job recruiters look at the top schools because that is typically where the smartest and highest quality applicants go to. Obviously this is not a hard rule. I'm sure some really smart people do go to Regents law school; but many not-so-smart p…

+1 to what @"Cant Get Right" said! My second take was actually 4 points lower than my first, but I stayed resilient and took it a third time when I felt ready. Now I've been accepted to a few top 10 schools . It is possible!
-
@combsni Almost everyone you will find in law school, whether it is a T-5 or T-70, will be over achievers who have always performed at a very high level. Many of them will be people who got into top-ranked law schools but chose to go lower because o…

+1 on what @Connor180 said!

hahaha nah, I just minored in Philosophy because I like that kind of stuff. But I heard having a philosophy background helps with law scohool too!
-
@jyang72 I agree with your assessment! I also had Econ as a major major and Philosophy as a minor in college. Great choice!! Great minds think alike

@JustDoIt said: But BU doesn't have nearly the national pull that GW has. I want to play devil's advocate here. That might have been in the past, but things are turning for both universities now and it is fair to argue that BU's national rep…

Focus on maximizing your logic games for a couple of weeks!!

Don't think about that. Whatever section it is, you are going to crush the test. That is the mentality and don't waste energy thinking about these types of things. Take a look at Conor McGregor's interviews where he explains his strategy before a fi…

Actually, not even awkward. They asked me what I was doing, I would say studying for the LSAT, and they would say cool! After a while they even asked me about my improvements about how the law school apps are going, etc. Overall very supportive. A m…

A bit - but I didn't care much and at the end all the managers and co-workers were rooting for me. So long as I did my job well and was a responsible professional I could do whatever I wanted after hours in the office. At least that's what I thought.
-
What about your office late at night? That's what I used!
-
I totally understand where you are coming from. It may be natural, but when you become a lawyer you are going to start writing differently. Might as well start practicing with your personal statement! I encourage you to read the advice from Berkeley…

...by the way. I had to google what "civil twilight" means before posting. But I'm sure you appreciate due diligence
-
hey @G6LsatQueen thanks for your post! I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I don't think you should put the term "civil twilight" in your personal statement. While your initial paragraph does show that you read a lot of literature, we are no…

You can cancel up to 12am of the night before of the test without wasting an attempt to the best of my knowledge. But don't quote me on that.
-
@CrushLSAT simple works too!
-
Hello @CrushLSAT ! Thank you for the question and so sorry you had to go through that. So far, all schools I've applied to have asked me if my undergraduate schooling had been interrupted at some time so definitely do prepare to write a small paragr…

@"Not Ralph Nader" That's freaking amazing - i'm so proud of you!!!
-
when in doubt, err on the side of full disclosure
-
Just disclose by laying out the facts of the situation. I doubt something like that will hurt your application. You don't need copies of the charges though, don't worry about that. Just a short and to the point addendum.

My commute is about an hour each way to and from work and what I did for a year and a half was basically stay at the office every day after work to study until late at night. If you can manage, I would do the same thing I did! You can do a quick yog…
