As an odd tip schools won't know about multiple deposits until early May so if you're negotiating after seat deposits that's an option BUT no idea if you'll still show up on deposits even if you withdraw one before the May notification schools get.

Realize that both schools wouldn't give a big chance at BigLaw.
I can't speak to Brooklyn but Emory stats and employment reports make it seem that Big Law is an option. They just sent us a really detailed breakdown …
I believe the issue here is the negation.
All goes to not all not none
So anything would be not everything....
Vs
Some becoming none.
That's where I see the difference.
So as you said:
1.) "Anything that is an effective approach for accompli…
NTDs can have longer resumes. Plus resumes and apps may be more inclusive than each other.
And parts of this could potentially be true.
You have to follow the instructions on the application. If it says all, it's all employment.
For example, beca…
Agree hand writing can be good or just type it out freestyle. I got this advice wrote 14 typed pages single spaced and found my PS/DS and PI essay amongst the pages.
Yes, even scholarships have been good but a higher GPA would have made things really good.
I have one full ride and good/ave money from most others (Emory, Alabama, GW, Fordham). But like BU for example. I was offered 60k with my stats and my frien…
I bought Larry Law when it was a part of or partnered with 7Sage but put my account on hold. I think it's a few month course and access for 12 months?
So I'm going to start it in May.
I would say you don't have to hit all 4 points. Yes a compelling intro can help but it needs to be genuine.
There are a lot of great, free examples out there and the 7Sage admissions course does a good job. You might also find pre-Law-gurus website…
Start a law school prep class? Or related readings. I've been out of school so long I'm probably going to take a refresher course for grammar.
Plus you can start researching housing and food costs, budgeting...
Im a bit higher but still a splitter. Mines almost 18 years old and it can be souls crushing especially with 2 Masters at 4.0... that count for Zero...
The biggest thing is to hit that 75% LSAT number to get in... but so far my experience has been …
Yep I consult for nonprofits so we started having contingency plans to prepare just incase @lsat_wrecker the fallout could be big as it does attract some people or retain them as they continue their education.
@"Leah M B" I have to agree it feels l…
However, it seems to me that sooner or later if these things keep coming up, one will pass. At that point, those interested in public interest will need to go the scholarship at a lower ranked school route over the Top school they get into with a…
I deffered last cycle with nonbinding decision and was able to keep my scholarship. This cycle I withdrew from that school.
Just be very honest about why you've made the decision (mine was also personal) and determine
If it's binding or not. I had…
I also feel it's important to point out this isn't an absolute:
Schools will prioritize those who apply earlier if it’s rolling.
It's to the Deans and Admissions of that schools advantage for you to apply early without a score or pending an up…
Agreed @"Seeking Perfection" but this same doors will open even after deadlines have passed and scholarships likely attached. And a simple check on LSN cN show if you were shorted for a late app.
I would say a test can play to your strengths or be kryptonite.
I felt like the Feb test played to my strengths and so did the June test, but I had my experimental RC from 2015, which would have seemed like an advantage but through me for an entire…
Generally it's a bad idea, but Feb or June scores changes things a bit.
The "save your place in line" simply isn't true. Your LSAT/GPA index can move you forward or to the back of the line.
If a school has a late deadline like April for a Feb scor…
To add in we have to be very careful of LARPs as there have already been threats to eliminating the federal payback loan program PSLF may be eliminated after 2018.
Schools usually work with this program in the LARPs so be very careful if you hinge …
A lot of the people I help tutor I have them use the 4:7:8 technique
4 sec count inhale, 7 second hold and 8 second exhale.
I learned this in a mindfulness class. It's really useful and can help on the test especially between sections or between d…
I asked Spivey//Kiloran this and they said schools don't blink an eye till you hit 6 and that was under the OLD rules. Not the new ones so don't sweat 4 or even 5... 6 seems to be where it gets dicey.
People don't realize but it was really easy to …
I'll be 40 when I start and that's 13 years younger than my original desired start age of 53! 24 isn't too old and if you listen to people like @mike.spivey they'd encourage at least a year of full time work under your belt.
Take the time you need.
