@estouten25 That article is super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!
-
Just to add my input- definitely would choose the full ride. HYS, while very impressive schools, are not the only impressive schools. I currently work in NYC with lawyers every day in my current occupation- lawyers with the DOJ, SEC, BigLaw, in-hous…

I got waitlisted at UPenn and Columbia this week. I feel you. Luckily, neither school were in my top picks but it always sucks to get that WL email... It's better than a rejection though! Best of luck.

@LSATcantwin No need to apologize. I imagine we are the only ones who can truly understand your situation...we know the stakes and what it means to each of us. I can only imagine how this has been for you. Just hang in there and keep fighting.
-
@LSATcantwin Dude I would be FREAKING OUT. Not only do the schools have to make admissions decisions, but scholarship decisions may be impacted too. I feel for you. At this point, all you can do is fight LSAC until you win. If they don't call you ba…

@estouten25 Thank you! It was very relaxed. My interviewer was actually a 2015 graduate who now works as the Director of Admissions, so she was young and very relatable. She asked me to go into more depth about my personal statement (which I basical…

@"Paul Caint" @"Radhika." Thank you! I'm super excited!

So...I had the interview and was admitted this morning! Feel free to reach out if anyone is interested in interview details!
-
The Skype interview is very relaxed and casual. It's basically exactly what you would expect a law school interview would be. They will ask you why you want to go to Wash U. They will ask you about specific things on your resume/application. Just be…

@sophie74 I'm sorry if you interpreted my post as being insensitive. I never once meant to imply that BC Law is an inferior school. It's not, in any way-- it's a great school! I specifically only noted that it was lower ranked than other schools I …

@Sarah Jane Oh man- sorry to hear about that. You should definitely have them send the certified letter though, especially if you did submit an addendum with your applications about this. That way, if you scored well, you will be able to showcase y…
-
Sarah, I'm sorry I did not respond in time to answer your question. I'm not sure what you ended up deciding to do, but I would consider waiting, even if it means forfeiting your waivers. At least wait to submit your reach schools' applications or sc…

I requested a merit-based fee waiver and was granted one in October. 169; 3.68
-
I think if you write an addendum, you should 1) have filed a complaint with LSAC and 2) wait to hear how they respond and include that in your addendum. If you don't have LSAC to back up your claims, as horrible as the situation honestly was, it wil…
-
I'm in no way an expert on this, but I was planning on titling it however they titled the attachment on the application plus my last name. For example, if you are submitting an optional addendum, I personally would title it: "[Last Name] Optional Ad…
-
@"Paul Caint" I might just guesstimate, because I'm not in touch with anyone I used to work with there anymore. It feels so long ago. I thought about requesting my old pay-stubs or W-2 forms, but that might be more work than it's worth. That usually…
-
@seth.reid @shicks220 It is confusing to me...I have fee waivers from schools like Columbia but not BU? I can't figure out how these schools determine who to grant them to.
-
@"Leah M B" That is my understanding as well, but I've come to realize that some schools request us not to disclose minor parking violations. I want to be cautious about being over-inclusive if it has the potential to cause me to appear as though I …
-
I got my paralegal certificate too and they factored my GPA from those courses into my LSAC GPA as well. They consider everything.
-
@TheMikey @AllezAllez21 Maybe they come in waves then? Because my numbers should get me one, based one what you both are telling me. @TheMikey when did you get yours?

@Sami said: lol I think I am on the other end of the spectrum where I am terrified I did horribly so the last thing I want to do is see my score. I go back and forth between this feeling and wanting to just end the agony. I don't even k…

WAIT- how do you tell if it's grey? The only thing that changed was the little icons in the boxes. Is that "grey"?
-
@Sami Same...this one conversation has done enough to elevate my stress level 50x. Ignorance was so much better
-
@AllezAllez21 @tylerdschreur10 Oh man...thanks for clearing that up. I definitely had no idea. And we will receive an email when we turn grey or do we have to find out via logging into LSAC? Basically what I want to know is should I be refreshing my…
