So I just applied to some schools end January/early February, and I already heard back from one, and was accepted with some $$. I also had panic feelings about being "late" but this one school in particular was super fast in …
I have started to visit some of the schools near me (within a two hour drive) even if I haven't received a WL/decision. I think it's worth it to wait if visiting the schools would require flights + hotels + PTO, etc. But, if not--I'd recommend drivi…
Thanks, everyone!
I have decided to make the LSAT the priority but will be working on my applications concurrently and aim to submit them by the end of the month (or worst case scenario: the first week of Feb).
I will request that my safeties revi…
Try looking for a litigation clerk job. Very entry level and good exposure to law but also not super busy; which has been useful because applying to law school is super time-consuming and exhausting lol.

Hi @"David.Busis"! Are there any examples of a "statement of purpose" personal statement? Some of the schools I am applying to want me to state why I am interested in applying to law school, how law school X will help me reach my professional goals,…
One strategy I've considered is to apply to the schools I believe I will get in to with my current LSAT scores in December and then apply to the more out-of-reach schools in Feb with my January score...but once again that brings forth the question o…

Hi everyone,
Accurate-ish is a good description. You should crosscheck our model with https://officialguide.lsac.org/release/ugpalsat/ugpalsat.aspx. In most cases, we're pretty similar.
@eRetaker we looked at abo…
Wouldn't you be applying a little late in the cycle (January)? Isn't it better to apply with a November score and then apply in December (and let your schools know that you're testing again in January?)

Hey! You’re in my area! Have you visited either school? Are you also aware that you have to pass the patent bar before you can practice patent law?
I’d say the school visits are the most important thing you’ll ever do. I…
Thanks for responding! Do you guys think it's okay for me to check the Native American box and the Latino box for schools that don't ask me to "prove myself" or should I just keep it to myself? My diversity statement will only briefly touch on being…

If we submit our application in December with our September and November scores and ask that admissions consider our application as-is (despite being registered for the January LSAT), do we need to call or email Admissions to let the…
Thank you @"David.Busis" !
And yes, lol @tekken1225
It's nice to know that I can test again in January worst-worst-worst-case scenario to get off the wait-list!!!
