I had a bit of fun:
If you look at the Spivey post and add up the total number of applicants who scored between a 168 and 180 this year, you get 4,568. The number of those who scored between 175 and 180? 751.
If you sum …
Hmm. Your LG is already fairly high but your RC is seriously lagging. I would drill RC intensely and also make a habit of reading dense material everyday, and treating said material. Identify the main idea, the purpose of each paragraph, authors att…

Would you all say there's a big difference in admissions chances -- disregarding softs -- between those applying in the 175-180 range? What I'm saying is, in that range, does a point or two make a d…

Scholarships stipulations are bad because the law school grading system is curve based and fully determined by one exam. You have no idea how hard or smart your classmates will work. Arguably in a lower ranked school the competition will be more cut…

California is great place to visit and the weather is very pleasant. That being said, the traffic congestion in the major highways outside of metro areas like LA and SD is getting much worse... If we had a decent subway or train system like NYC, the…

It's all speculation at this point. I guess we'll have to wait an see. It is making me nervous though because I'm applying next cycle as a K-JD.
If I were you, I would try to build up work experiencr before applying. Alot of…

It will be interesting to see how things turn out next cycle. I would not be surprised to see a significant number of applicants from this cycle with great numbers and disappointing re…

Midwest firms can supposedly be pretty insular so I would lean toward staying in California if I were you. While I hate the extra debt, it is better to be in debt with a legal job than possibly without one if you go…
UCI recently UCLA in biglaw/clerkship numbers at 41 percent. Do you think this is sustainable or its anomaly? I'm just slightly worried that the exceptionally small class played a role, whixh wont be the case when class of 2021 graduate.
In my uneducated opinion, policy changes like an unlimted retake policy, more schools accepting GRE and the ABA possibly eliminating the testing requirement would all indicate that the number of applicants would increase. Maybe this upcoming cycle w…

Thanks for your input everybody! I'm currently averaging 153 on PTs. I will probably postpone because I like the idea of having one good score on my record and know that I can score 170+ once I get "into the mind of th…

That was pretty close to my diagnostic (135). Now I'm at UChicago open house
Great job! What was your final score! and how long did you study for

Just curious. How early did you apply this cycle?
Not early - All my Apps were submitted in early Jan.
Hmm. I wouldn't say that it is late either. I was about to just say that …

Hey guys,
My stats are 174 LSAT, 3.15 GPA from top 15 university, non-URM, and decent softs. I'm preparing my applications to send sometime next week. Blanketing the top 14 (minus HYS)…
To all you parents in law school, i have nothing but respect. Having the motivation to push through studying and take care of kids is very notable. I hope to approach law school with a similar sense of purpose and vigor

@westcoastbestcoast the official test that i took was almost two years ago in september 2016. i did get 154 which was right my average at that time. I have been studying ever since to increase my score.
For LG I did 1-36PT…
Idk if I read this right. Did you say that you got a 154 on your most recent official take? Presuming that you are getting a 166 average, your PT average needs to be comfortably in the low 170s for you to comfortably get a 170. To get into low 170s,…
Have you thought to apply to UPitt law? I would imagine it would get in you touch with those in ADA. I went to school in CMU. Pittsburgh is a great city
Despite which law school you choose, keep in mind that you wont have too much time to enjoy the city even if you went to school in one. I would attend the school that I would be able to focus in and be able to do my best work without distraction

I don't know, I haven't gone to law school. But, I'd wager, yes, I'm sure they're fine schools. Most of the successful lawyers I have met did not go to a T14 or 25 or 30 or whatever arbitrary cut-off you want to make. And…
