The amount of hours work is going to depend on the firm and market in which you practice. Biglaw in general is going to have long hours because firms make money off of billing their associates out to clients. As you can see from this TLS thread…

This has probably been asked a million times, but I'd appreciate if anyone can share their stats with me so I have an idea. Thanks so much.

I think consultants are valuable and can help you craft a great personal statement and prepare for interviews, but I don't think hiring someone to help you negotiate scholarships and get off waitlists is worth the cost. There is a lot of valuable i…

I don't know what the climate will be in a few years, and that's the issue. It is difficult to predict, which is why there's a major risk involved with postponing. To respond to you other statement, there's a question on eac…

I'm also a big fan of waiting between undergrad and law school. I've been out of college for six years, and I'm a different person now than I was at age 22. I'm convinced I will be a better lawyer for it, and I am confid…
I think super splitters are viewed the same, but someone with a 3.5 from Williams or Princeton is likely to be viewed more favorably than a 3.5 from a state school

the LSAT reuses a stimulus or a variation of the same subject matter for different questions types.
There are several recurring themes and topics on the LSAT, including QWERTY keyboards, dinosaurs and asteroids, joggers/runn…

Not to hijack this thread, but I was also admitted to Harvard earlier this week. I want to thank 7sage (and gs556 for interview tips!) for the wonderful LSAT prep program. I could not have improved my LSAT enough without the excell…

I'm not necessarily referring to the kind of top-of-mind awareness to where you could recall the answer to a question after the stimulus, but just having a vague recelalection of the theme.
I'm of the opinion that if you don't re…

Take the test when you're actually ready and you are PTing in the range you hope to score in.
This. No one can tell you which exam you should take. Your job is to study hard--learn the fundamentals, drill, drill, and …

I'am depressed and anxious... Does anybody know anyone who was accepted to T-14 as an older (again, 53+ years old) applicant? If one had all the right numbers (LSAT and GPA at or above 50% of those accepted), do you think age would …
I hope as many 7sagers as possible take advantage of Corey's tutoring sessions. After being on 50+ Skype BR calls with Corey, I can testify to his skills and advanced understanding of the LSAT. His techniques have helped me so much, that I even tu…

any advise on how best to coordinate the meet ups and/or suggestions on locations? Thanks!
My study buddy lived a few blocks away and we used to BR at her apartment. We used to BR two PTs a week and towards the end we did …

Many of the CEOs and CFOs and other people in top positions at firms that I have talked to got to where they are independent of having a JD.
And many of them got JD's 10-15 years ago or long.

I think NU is less uptight, in a cooler part of Chicago, has fewer gunners, better social scene, and similar outcomes for biglaw (just under 50%).
While it may appear that NU has similar placement to Chicago, the numbers don't tell…
"Hey, I hope you guys don’t mind me dropping in on this epic thread. I did so because I wanted to clarify the point above, so that everyone understood how it works. For June and October, LSAC typically gives us (test prep companies) a heads-up that …
