it depends on employment outcomes. If outcomes are bleak then go $0 if they are strong then the second option is much better.

Generally schools start to care after 6-7 takes. Keep in mind though, the paradigm for LSAT frequency is going to change drastically over the next two years. Moving to electronic is going to allow for immediate score turnaround and several more tes…

It’s highly unlikely that you’ll get any money as a grant from FAFSA. They will offer you loans, but almost never grants or scholarships. The vast majority of law students finance their education through school scholarships and fafsa loans. There a…

You won't remember a lot of it. You are going to constantly have to refer back to the CC.

Jobs in government vary drastically. There are a lot of legal jobs available in government but the best ones are, unsurprisingly competitive. In any case, the more competitive government jobs are going to be judicial clerkships, especially federal o…

Law schools understand that the admissions process is fluid and that your mind will change as new variables come into the equation. What you wrote in your letter before represented your state of mind at that time, with the information that you had a…

Also, anticipating that you'll have 200ish hours of study time before September, it's important to keep in mind that for the Ultimate+ version, the CC alone is 215 hours. I also think that you'll probably need to sink at least 50 hours into LG outsi…

The gap between my first PT and my BR was 20 so it's not unusual. I got destroyed by the time element because I have not been an avid reader so I read slowly. I felt rushed my first several PT's because of this and it took me a while to get over the…

What was your score breakdown? (for example -1RC -5LG -2LR -3LR)

Also, i'd like to point out that below WUSTL, pretty much every school is a regional trap. For example, If you hate Minnesota but love Atlanta, then the University of Georgia is going to be a better school for you even though it's 7 places lower. Th…

You can get a job in Big Law from UVA without much difficulty. However, take into consideration the attrition rate in Big Law. For every 25 Big Law associates that are hired, 17 leave. With that in mind, I think it's reasonable to suspect that there…

I applied in Dec and I haven't heard from any CA schools either.

No wait two weeks. If you haven't heard by the end of two weeks then call.

Rank is a reflection of quality. I suggest that you check out the ABA required employment disclosures, Above the Law rankings and LST scores. All these three give insight into employment outcomes while dispensing of LSAT and GPA weight. It is true …

Q1: There are two types of untimed drills. One is “natural pace” which means that you give each question a solid effort, but you don’t devote more than a few minutes to any single question. It’s meant to provide a benchmark for accuracy and timing a…

If you broke it up by section, and didn't take the full test altogether, you will definitely be introducing a confounding data point if you choose to enter it. However, the purpose, as far as I can tell, of the analytics tool is to show you where yo…

A lot of schools use indices that factor both GPA and LSAT. If you are 10 points above 75th percentile, you will most of the time get a full-tuition scholarship if not close to full tuition, as long as your GPA is above the 25th percentile for that …

For NA questions, you shouldn't be pre-phrasing because NAs can be virtually infinite. In general, it is useful to understand the flaws in an argument because they can give you an idea of what to look for in the answer choices. But this process is o…

I don't understand what you're asking. It would be helpful if you rephrased the question

Generally within 3 weeks after acceptance

The plain version is ideal. Law school admissions officers aren't going to be impressed by an unusual resume. At best they won't care either way, at worst it annoys them. For law school applications the purpose of the resume is to provide an introdu…

Only in the off chance that you don't know, schools usually offer a few hundred bucks for travel fees to students from out of state, or even around $100 for some in-state students! If you don't know if they have this, check with someone from the sch…

"Complete" means that they have received all of the necessary forms for your application and "under review" generally means that they have opened your file but have not made a decision yet.

The fact that you're only picking up 2 extra questions in LR during blind review tells me that you need to return to the fundamentals and do lots of un-timed drilling. The general consensus for BR scores is that you need to have your BR score excee…

When I read this, I got stressed thinking about how there are only a limited number of paper tests left for the LSAT and that it's moving to digital after that.... then I remembered that I am done with the LSAT. I guess the LSAT neuroticism never l…

I'm surprised that someone with extensive work experience is struggling with the monotony of the CC so much (at least this is what I gathered from your post). Usually the k-jd's struggle in their 1L year because they have such a hard time sitting do…

Definitely will give it a read!

Missing points on easy games doesn't say anything specific enough to warrant advice. It depends more on the nature of the errors. For example, if you find yourself reviewing the question after time is over and you notice that you wrote down a rule i…

I would plateau for a month and then jump 3-4 points. It generally comes from a cycle of 1) recognize mistake in approach 2) learn strategies to correct mistake 3) implement strategies 4) master strategies. After step 4, once you start to master new…

T14 is symbolic guys. It's an arbitrary cut-off point because the difference between the 14th school and the 15th school is significant (but not huge). It also witnessed the lowest volatility as the schools in the T14 have been roughly the same for …
