Oh my gosh dude, I just logged on to 7Sage for the first time in forever and saw this. CONGRATU-FRIGGN-LATIONS!!! I'm so crazy happy for you. You deserve this so much dude. After all you've gone through this cycle, I'm glad your story has a happy e…

Sounds like burnout! I would take a few days off of studying LSAT entirely. Maybe this Friday do some timed sections just to get your mind back in the swing of things, but nothing too intensive. Is this July test your first LSAT? If so, don't stres…

I agree with @10000019; so long as the events shaped who you are today, it doesn't matter when they happened! I wrote part of my PS about high school lol. The only thing I would advise is to make sure your story is about OVERCOMING adversity and no…

I wouldn't underestimate the power of a fantastic GPA + first gen! Being a first gen is incredibly rare nowadays, and I know some first-gen people that, despite having lower than 25th percentile LSATs for a given school, gain admission. That could d…

@Mzilberstein So as I progressed through my LSAT studying, I gradually marked less and less, to the point where I was just basically underlining main points and conclusions of author's arguments. For example, if the passage said something like: "A…

Read slower. That might seem counterintuitive, but on RC people have a tendency to try to read the passage too fast to "save time." However, if you read the passage too fast then you won't retain any of it, and then you end up wasting time re-readi…

I think you have decent chances if you apply early. With Cornell's mandatory little essay, make sure you communicate that you have researched in depth about Cornell.

Good luck everybody!

I can read it! PM'd you.

No. You're never too old

Thanks all @acsimon It's been a wild ride for sure haha. I'll see you on the other side, the lawyer side that is
-
Yeah, I think so 100%. Otherwise the admissions committee will be under the impression you graduated with your bachelors in two years.

Hey I can take a look! PM me and I'll send you my e-mail

Thanks all again @Daniel.Sieradzki I look forward to meeting you too! P.S. - If you haven't already, remember to complete the rest of the incoming-students checklist on the status checker (the status checker should have updated after you enrolled)…

AH!!! SEE YOU IN CAMBRIDGE BROTHER !!!!!

This forum is incredibly valuable, especially during the admissions process. Have members of the community read and re-read your personal statement, advise you on letters of rec, LOCI, etc. This community is super powerful - use it!
-
@lizpil The good thing is that the essay doesn't count towards your score ! Though you don't want to leave it blank/doodle (some law schools actually look at this...like Yale)
-
[deleted] - I thought you meant accommodations while in law school, but I think you mean during the LSAT haha.
-
CONGRATS !!!!
-
@goingfor99th Let's not get ahead of ourselves haha. It's still not clear when I'll hear back (or that what I'll hear is good), though it's good I was in the first round of interviews so I may hear back sooner than most.

Hey @LindsMitch! So I was sending the following message to a fellow 7Sager via PM but I figure I'd just post it here. Here was my experience: My interviewer was Alex Feinson - the Assistant Director of Admissions. She asked me three questions. I wo…
-
Phew! It went really well!
-
YES. ABSOLUTELY SEND A SECOND LOCI! I sent my second LOCI to Harvard Law during the week of their deposit deadline and was extended an interview offer that same week. These schools want to know you're still interested! Stay in communication with yo…

@acsimon Hey, I'm bumping this post again. I'm really confused as to how you got outright denied from Harvard given your URM status and numbers. Did you think the interview went poorly? What are your thoughts on why this happened?
-
The interview is in 2 days. Let the prepping begin!
