@GTFOHLSAT said: following up. were you able to get a biglaw summer associateship for your 2l summer? I did not. I worked at the small local firm that I was already working at part time during the school year. I worked there during the summe…

I did and it worked. I went from not being able to complete the section to usually getting it perfect, but struggling with time every once in a while after foolproofing 1-35. I then foolproofed newer games from exams I had already taken and continu…

@noonawoon said: I read a comment on here of someone scoring 172&180 and having a 3.81 and still getting a few rejections (as well as some great acceptances!). I don't know their fully story/application at all of course, just read that one…

@"Peter.p.l" said: Hi I'm applying to Michigan right now. I wanted to learn more about the school. What is the law school culture like there? How do you like your professors and classmates? How do you like the Ann Arbor? I'm from California, a…

https://mylsn.info/zp3qcg/ You can fill in more things if you want to get a slightly better prediction. I just used the default settings and your GPA and LSAT score. How much did you study for the LSAT? Did you get a perfect score on the logic gam…

@lexxx745 said: Can I ask what your GPA and LSAT was to get that big of a scholarship at Michigan? I went straight through. So I had a 3.81 when they admitted me and when they extended the scholarship offer and a 3.84 when I graduated. I to…

@"Circle it and move on" said: Thanks so much for posting this @"Seeking Perfection" ! I've been researching into different law schools' programs and I noticed that Michigan has an extensive list of clinical programs. I know you are just start…

@10000019 said: 3L big law hunting is hard but it's worth a try. despite bidding the least grade selective firms that I could and focussing heavilly on Michigan firms where my ties should have been appealing I'd like to point…

@BinghamtonDave said: Thank you for doing this. I remember reading your posts. Looking back-and hindsight is always 20/20- is there anything you would have done differently going into law school? For instance, there is a debate about what one…

@"Pride Only Hurts" said: Thanks for this! And congrats on making it this far without a mountain of debt!!! If you could go back and approach landing a public interest opportunity differently, what would you do? Do you feel like you used…

@2ndTimestheCharm said: Thank you, @Princess : I hear you! But I guess what I'm asking (and I've tried to post this question about other sections too), does it really matter which PTs we are studying? In other words, why is it better to foolpr…

@MandarinOtter said: @"Seeking Perfection" Thanks! I will be waiting until October 2019 to apply, so I can have the summer to write out my personal statement. I'm hoping for HYS, but I would be beyond thrilled to get in to NYU or Berke…

@raymond_r_fang said: Thanks @"Seeking Perfection"! I retook in January and scored a 174, and I'm over the moon! I think I have a real shot at T14 schools, and a fair shot at T6 too! Maybe even a realistic shot at HYS? Congratulations! It s…

Update: So, I found an unpaid public interest job. I don't want to go into too much detail about it because one of the best parts about this job is I don't have to decide whether or not to take it for several more months. This is great because it …

@oshun1 said: Super use useful info in your comment above re $$ and jobs! Michigan WL’d me, i’m gonna visit at the end of February! If you private message me when you are coming, I would be happy to meet up if I can.

Everyone's job search is progressing. I know some people with summer clerkships, some with firm jobs lined up, and some of the more public interest dedicated students who already have that type of position lined up. Most of us however, are moving o…

@keets993 said: Realized I forgot to reply to this. Thanks so much for coming back @"Seeking Perfection" and sharing your experience. I love these stories because they remind you that there is life after lsat and that it is only a test, w…

@vrendonvasquez said: I'm debating whether I should run a marathon during my first semester of law school. Is it feasible? Would it interfere with my grades? For those of you who have done it, how did you manage? I'm a 1l and know someo…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: There is not much that makes me feel old, but threads with significant discussion of learning to type is one of them. I guess everyone did not take typing in high school, on actual type writers. Long live the 80s! Most yo…

@annewr253 said: @"Seeking Perfection" Thank you so much for this valuable post! I also plan on learning to tough type efficiently for 0L prep. Do you mind sharing your practices/ any websites or tools that you utilized in order to grasp it we…

@Regis_Phalange63 said: At a top notch, world-premier law school like yours, isn't your GPA median? or maybe slightly under median? I thought anything above 3.0 at a T14 school was good enough for biglaw and what not. I know you're not pleased…

@rowleyml said: Thanks for the great post! I am super interested in U of M (I'm a Michigan native and have always heard how great their law school was). I've been to the campus many times and seen the incredible law library, but I am in a weir…

@"Jonathan W S" said: @10000019 said: IMO, with the exception of the extremes (The A's and the B-'s), law school grades are arbitrary. What do you mean? I'm not saying you're wrong. But how did you come to this conclusion? …

@Reasonable_Clout said: What role does memorizing play in law school? I have heard it isn't sufficient, not even close, for getting good grades but it is necessary to even begin to issue spot. How much of it is there? What kinds of stuff? I ha…

@LSATcantwin said: Wow! You and I had almost identical experiences with our first semester of 1L. My grades were very close to yours as well. I can say one thing for sure, no matter how you prep for your first semester, nothing other than…
