@"Jae Won Hur" I still wouldn't sweat it! I know it's frustrating, but 3.75 is still a really competitive GPA for the overwhelming majority of US law schools. Since your institution is one of the only schools that doesn't post letter grades, that mi…

Yup, you're right, Canadian grades are really different from US grades. Unfortunately, I believe whatever GPA LSAC gives you is your official GPA when applying to law school. You're definitely not the only person whose LSAC GPA is much lower than t…

@"Alex Divine" @combsni I think the slight exception might be if your LSAT (and rest of your application) warranted a tuition + stipend named scholarship like a Dillard, Mordecai, Darrow, Ruby, etc. In that case you wouldn't state your LSAT score, b…

No no no don't do it. It's braggy and gunner-y. If you're coming from the T-14, let your law school accomplishments speak for themselves. Any school that tells you to put your LSAT score on your resume is probably TTT.

@monika_p I did about 90% of the PTs 36 -78. Again, definitely use PTs 1-17 for drilling games since, as you noted, they're becoming less formulaic. 1-17 definitely had some odd games.

@jyang72 congrats on vandy! Yup, more tough decisions ahead. I'd suggest checking the websites of some of the firms in cities where you'd like to practice. See where people went to school, and see how V is represented.

I'm in DC for work right now and I gotta tell you it isn't the most uplifting place. The political climate is not great and there are too many government gunners.

Chicago for sure. Anecdotal, but whatever: toured their law school and met a lot of Romney-esque republicans

I agree with @Alejandro. BU >>>> GW in my understanding of reputation. I live and work on the West Coast. If you told people you went to GW, they would say "oh, you mean Georgetown?" and then when you correct them they're like, "oh.." b…

@"Tina Cho" I don't know when you will get a confirmation email from LSAC. But you will definitely get one as soon as they process the letter. Faxing and emailing w/r/t LoR submission aren't really the same thing. When you request a LoR over email,…
-
@monika_p Two PTs a week + BR was totally manageable for me. I watched almost all explanation videos while BRing, too (the only ones I skipped were the first ~5 or so per LR section). I didn't go back into the curriculum too often though. Since I ha…

@"Tina Cho" When a recommender submits a letter, LSAC will email you. It's instantaneous - one of my recommenders emailed me right after she submitted her letter. I received an email from LSAC seconds later. Also, you should be able to see which of…

W -> J J ,-> W W -> J W -> J and J -> W You can use formal logic whenever you have words that trigger formal logic - if, unless, without, etc. I suggest signing up for a 7sage course or purchasing the LSAT Trainer - it'll help you …

What did you define as the issue that needs resolving? If you're defining the issue/question incorrectly, that could be why you like answer (C). The issue that needs resolution I see is this: explaining why groups X (those who spend less time prepa…

@jyang72 said: BTW, how is law school transparent? Is this a good website to use? From what I know, it's great. Kind of eye opening to see how opaque some law schools are.
-
@monika_p Thank you, and I'm so glad I could help! This will be you next year. Here was my study schedule: Fall 2015 - Winter 2016 - self-study with the LSAT Trainer and a couple of practice tests March 2016 - June 2016 - bought access to 7Sage, …
-
Hey, congrats on your scholarships and acceptances! Like Nessa said, US News is the most important law school ranking system. That's not to say that start class doesn't have good information, but for an "official" ranking, everything is US News. Y…

Hey i accidentally tore my December 2016 scantron a little bit and there was no issue at all. I received my score on the same day as everyone else (in an early wave, too!). You'll be fine.
-
Because without your status checker/application number, it's a LOT more work for the admissions office to find your file. Once you have an application number from the school, it's easier for them to match your name to your file. Without the number, …
-
RC is where I struggle most, too. I did every passage from 1-35 to supplement my studying. I did each of those passages untimed - I would take note of how long it took me to complete each passage though. I think that early on in my studies I didn't…
-
Yes, what @draj0623 said! Also take a closer look at employment statistics especially with regards to what kind of law you want to practice. For what it's worth, I've heard anecdotal evidence suggesting that Boston is a hard legal market to enter w…
-
Congrats! Where do you want to practice?
-
Honestly, the school might notice, they might not...they go through a lot of files, and this is probably not the worst mistake they've seen. If you're really worried, once you get access to your status checker/have some kind of application #, you c…
-
Good luck! Get lots of rest. I hope you're already in bed (if you're on the East Coast). Remember, your interviewer just wants to get to know you!!!

@sweezyseason said: Since I am writing it a day late I don't know if it would be the smartest idea to psych myself out beforehand by reading anything about it. Let me know what you think! WE ARE GOING TO DO AWESOME! It's really not as scary as…
-
Oh, sorry I think I misunderstood. Yes, I remember filling out a resume on LSAC for some applications. Definitely easy to make a mistake there. I'm not really sure what to do, but the best option would probably be to call and/or email LSAC tomorrow…
-
Cool cool. This is what happens when you no longer have applications to work on + the LSAT to study for and suddenly find your life kind of devoid of business and are looking for something to fill the time. Take note, kids
-
Hi @monika_p, I totally understand what you're going through. I graduated in June 2015 and I won't be starting law school until this year. Way back when I was an undergrad, I thought that I would maybe go straight through from undergrad to grad sch…

I took the LSAT twice and each time someone showed up without pencils. I may have been that weird girl with a billion pencils but to them I was a hero. It's good karma
