@dicino63
All your transfer credits were validated by the degree-granting institution? Unlike us unruly military vets whose credits were either graciously accepted by our law schools or viciously discarded for whatever reason, I suppose. Didn't m…
I will echo Sara's sentiments. She and I are nearly the same age. I hadn't been to a proper classroom in 22.5 years when I decided to go to law school. No idea if my professors from undergrad are even living these days. I had 4 recommendation le…
My school "intends" to be back fully in-person after the Summer session. Of course, whatever that means, no one really knows and all emails regarding the subject desperately reek of vagueness. Lots of "we hope's" and "our plan is" and "we think we…
I haven't been on this site for YEARS, but am still a member of the community and randomly check JY's weekly forum updates and browse when I see something interesting. I haven't posted in ages, but this post spoke to me, as I was in a very (eerily,…

Quick follow up..........Apparently my 148 was close enough to garner a meeting with the Dean,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it went well. Leaving the LSAT in my rear view window. Thanks everyone for the support and help! NEVER GIVE UP!!!!…
+1 on @MissChanandler, retake it in Jan., for sure. It'd be different if your PT's were lower. Maybe you didn't eat the right breakfast or get enough sleep. Maybe the questions on this particular test were just more demanding on you than usual. …
Hmmm.. That's weird. Maybe they're taking Sunday off and you'll get it Monday... Who knows? Sucks you're going through this, though. Try to stay positive and go do something fun today to take your mind off it. Mandatory fun is seldom "fun," bu…
Definitely doable. Why don't you use 7Sage? I improved more than that in less time and I didn't even complete the course's core curriculum (I found this place too late in my studies and had to take the Nov. LSAT). I wish I had found 7Sage sooner.
Just my $0.02, but I'd say this is a horrible plan... But, it could be a very delightful and fulfilling challenge that is certainly doable if it comes to that. As others here with experience have rightly pointed out, nothing guarantees you're not g…
I think you'll be okay with a that small, easily explainable, gap in employment. I would suspect it would be a major concern if you took 2 years off work to study for the LSAT, but a couple months should be insignificant to your application.

@Iris Maute-Gibson, @Louislepauvre, @astrowise and @maamedufiek I would love to swap with everyone too. Want to send me a direct message and I can send you my email?
I'm happy to help all of you. 💪
You've started fretting about this a little prematurely... In 24 short hours or so, you should have one key bit of information that will affect this scenario. Once the scores have posted and you know for sure, we can go from there without the wild…
I applied to a school last month before my LSAT scores were released and what @eRetaker describes is exactly what happened to my file. The law school received my application which had my PS and biographical data, but it did not get my CAS report (i…

I personally know 2 accepted law students who have records. 1- has a felony and the other has 3 felonies.
Don't worry about it. I also have a few drunk in disorderly conducts.

Poor guy... You'll be okay.
If it helps, just know that you bumping this 2 month old thread sent me flying to LSAC to see if I, too, "got my score" thinking you were referring to the Nov LSAT without opening and reading the thread. Meh. That was …
They are digging for intel on you. It's like "talking to the cops;" you don't have to do it, but if they ask and you tell them, then that's all fine and usually not to your benefit. hehe
There's a podcast on here where David interviews a former ad…

So what I took from the complicated LSAC response (viewing the world through my glass half-empty lens) is that when the school you matriculate reports to USNWR, they will report you as a 3.49 student. However, when you and …
You're 24 and concerned about taking a year? Pffffft! Dude, come on. I could've held my breath for a year at 24.
I think you'll be okay either way; it's gonna be what you make of it in the end, but if it's going to cause you regrets or "what if'…

Well, @Supernovice, since you've asked and, apparently, no one else has this problem, I called LSAC for you this morning and they have informed me: 'It is because you went to multiple schools and some of the credits you received before going to you…
Awww. Come here, Buddy. I'll hook you up. I'm more comfortable with just a fist-bump, but when hugs are the only cure, well... I'm not afraid of the "bro hug."
@"the truth hurts"
Yeah, it is a little bit of a strange question in the grand scheme of things and perhaps it could've been worded better. And you're correct that that is why they have to ask you to waive your legal right to see it. And no one is…
@"Leah M B" Agreed. I'd have the same concerns, especially about the quality of writing from a batty art teacher. JK! I would seriously reconsider even submitting that one having not seen it.
This happened to me: one of my recommenders (a close …
