@"Cant Get Right" said: Particularly problematic is the randomization of punishment. Even if that problem is remedied, it isn't going to benefit the OP. Also, what exactly is your lesser punishment? This seems pretty severe . . . If your…

@"Ms.LeeSanz" said: @10000019 What is considered a meh LSAT Score? I read that my cumulative UGPA could change due to the LSAC conversion, but I don't really understand it much. I do know that I want to get the highest score I capable of …

If you're attending a school that has a good bar passage rate, then your 1L classes won't prepare you for the bar at all. And studying for the bar won't help you with your 1L classes. If you're bored, there are plenty of books you can read on prepa…

Congrats, Berkeley is a great school. But unless Berkeley is your #1, I'd suggest you retake. You're capable of pulling that LSAT up, and with a higher LSAT score you'll be competitive for the elite schools.

Neither of those schools. Get your LSAT up and you'll be competitive for the top schools.

@username_hello said: @10000019 Fair point but from what I hear, the unique nature of the legal profession plays a major role in accounting for this situation. Law school is different than medical school in that almost all graduates from …

@divaspeller said: I'm not entirely sure. I'm intrigued by the idea of BigLaw, but not 100% committed; I'm pretty positive I want to try for a clerkship though. As for negotiating -- I just sent in the scholarship app for Cornell, and I'…

What are your goals? Have you tried negotiating with the other schools?

@"Cant Get Right" said: It beats any other possible outcome. Debatable. OP, I'm assuming you'll get into the other top schools. Don't be too quick to commit to Colombia. Check out this long thread: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt…

Whatever score helps the school maintain its target 50th percentile.

None.

@bananabo said: @10000019 Interesting! can you explain the differences? For prosecution, your job is convince a patent examiner. The examiner does not know case law. Although the MPEP does reference cases, the examiners don't read cases. If …

@bananabo said: whoever is hiring you to be a patent lawyer is going to analyze your ability and experience as a lawyer rather than your ability as a scientist. For litigation yeah. But for prosecution that is questionable.

I'm willing to review your PS. However, I suggest that after peer review you look into having a professional review your PS.

@taschasp said: URM doesn't equate to minority; URM means under represented minority. In other words, you're a URM if you belong to a group that is X% of the U.S. population, but only 0.5X% (for example) of admitted law students or lawyers. Fo…

Look at what cities their grads get placed in. I'd decide off what city I'd rather be in.

My guess is being South American will be a boost, but it won't be as large as if you ticked off Mexican or Puerto Rican. Don't overthink it. Mark the box that you fall under. For firm hiring you should also tick off the diversity box.

Change your mindset. You shouldn't be willing to go to ANY law school. There are plenty of schools willing to admit you with a 140, but those schools probably aren't worth going to.

Ask for the LOR. Decide whether or not to use it once you've had a chance to review it.
