This question assumes the person has T-14 credentials. My answer is prefaced on a choice between T-14 sticker vs. lower-ranked full-ride. Before law school I had a T-14 or bust mentality. After being waitlisted or rejected at the T-14 I took a full…

Also, this blog post from Spivey helped calm the nerves that come with waiting. https://blog.spiveyconsulting.com/this-will-be-a-slow-cycle/

One school made me chuckle as they had my file recorded as 'waiting TOEFL score'. I'm English, live in England, and went to an English university...

I can say from experience that you need to learn how to cope with a section that is not going well. For me, the test-day-nerves never completely went away for LG, so I had to make sure I knew what to do when it wasn't going perfectly and I was panic…

Just to add some confusion to how fee-waivers are decided; I don't have a reportable GPA (foreign) and I've received unsolicited fee waivers from Penn, Cornell, Vanderbilt, UCLA, as well as some lower-ranked schools.

@LSAT_Wrecker said: I can tell you from personal experience this cycle, gaps in your resume draw questions. As an aside, stay-at-home dad is apparently not good enough to cover the gap, but that's a conversation for a different forum. T…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Yeah, I ran into this as well. I listed the same job twice using the different hours. Just make sure the dates line up right. Yeah, this might be the safest thing (with full disclosure in mind). Either way, I have ema…

@"Leah M B" said: I kept mine at Times New Roman 12 for everything, including resume. (12 pt seemed to be a size that worked for all schools, so I kept it that to not have to re-size things all the time.) My resume is all the same with the exc…

@oshun1 said: I don’t even know what type of font or size my resume was, I was just trying to shrink it to a page and make it look pretty. I don’t think it matters for your resume since it’s an entirely diff format than an essay. For your PS a…

@"paulmv.benthem" said: Do admissions committees tend to regard more highly the title/position of the referee or the amount of experience shared with the applicant? The latter. Knowledge of the candidate trumps rank any day of the week.

You will have to get very good at getting the low hanging fruit on LR. Easy questions should feel easy and you should be able to breeze through them. This will give more time for the curve breakers. You should be doing enough LR blind review and wat…

I had my worst illness in years the week before my test and I still performed +/- 3 my PT average. If that's an acceptable outcome for you I'd consider taking the Nov. test.
-
I would suggest getting back on the horse. Doing nothing won't help (IMO) as you will simply focus on the recent poor performance. I would recommend being pro-active. Blind review the test that gave you problems, as this should give you the reassura…

Scores are out for me. 3-pts below my PT average but I'll take it given how ill I was. Good enough for most of the T-14 so I'll see how the cycle goes. Hopefully that's me done with the LSAT. Thanks, 7Sage. It's been a blast.

Gone grey but no score yet.

All these new comments making me think scores are releasing! Stay strong, friends.

@Emily2122 said: I just don't see the point because you either had more time to study or studied harder and adcoms would know that. Sometimes there are mitigating circumstances that need to be explained. It’s not a black/white issue of study…

Yep. The stress and anxiety is worse than the exam itself.

I've got in multiple times with the same picture. It had a weird shadow on the wall because we'd just plastered it. Was never an issue for me.

If you're set on those two schools, and we're ignoring the issue of scholarships, then I think @MissChanandler is spot-on with their analysis. But @"Leah M B" raises a good point, there are other schools that you could attend which would allow you …

@"Leah M B" said: @"Rigid Designator" said: I never got the impression that it was more of a Big Law factory than any other T-14 school. Only Columbia has a higher percentage of biglaw-bound grads. My claim was based on …

Relatively speaking they have a high proportion of students with a philosophy background and have a number of philosophy-minded law faculty. I've followed the blog of one of their staff for many years and I get the impression that students coming fr…

AFAIK it doesn’t affect anything. If you’re a citizen you should be eligible for all the normal loans etc. I’m in a similar position as you and I have seen nothing to suggest we’re adversely affected. Even if you’re a US citizen who’s never lived in…

@180degrees said: @"Rigid Designator" Thanks for the input. Yeah, you're probably right—so long as it's less than 2.5 pages, we're likely good. I used the same font, font size, and 1'' margins in mine. It sounds like Harvard's on your list, to…

@180degrees said: @"Rigid Designator" How long is your personal statement, both with and without the additional "Why Columbia" paragraph? Mine is two full pages without adding anything about Columbia, so I'm curious how long yours is given tha…
