Apologies for the wording there, I didn’t mean for it to come off so flaky. I fully understand the scholarship factor, which is why I’m not really considering any T14s, and sticking in the 25 and below range. I’m in a very good financial position right now for school, but obviously debt burden is t...

you should figure out what your goals are, what schools will help you achieve those goals, and if those goals from those schools are feasible wrt debt and income. then target your LSAT accordingly, and not focus so much on cycles but rather if you're on track to achieve those goals. scooped-ish by ...

Good to hear you’re not in a rush, cause there usually shouldn’t be one. Work toward getting that LSAT up and position yourself with as much leverage as possible once you apply to and get into some good options. With a 167, you’re still in good shape based on the range you’re talking, but with a 170...

Data available is tiny, but in your case that's probably a good thing. You're rare. Harvard should be an acceptance, and YS will depend on the rest of your profile (YS are a bit more black box in wanting other interesting things beyond the applicants qualifying numbers), but you'll definitely be in ...

Thanks for this. I'll change the link in the OP to Spivey. I also just wasted an inordinate amount of time aggregating data, but c'est la vie.

If you’re a 2L or 3L with a job offer secured, you can also take a part time job to make money during school. ^ this is a good caveat, and if your summer job is in the city you attend school in you may even be able to keep working well into the school year. I had several classmates who kept on in a...

If you want to reformat, I think a 1L pancake breakfast would be v calming for all.

Turns out, Spivey has already done everything for this thread. Here's the link if you're interested though!

Class of 2021 Class Profiles per Spivey

Suffolk and Northeastern both cost ~$250k non-discounted, meaning with full tuition and cost of attendance. Since you're below both medians for Northeastern and below Suffolk's GPA median while right above their 75th % LSAT, you're likely looking at close to full price. Compare/contrast that with th...

don't be in a rush to apply this cycle. This. You get one start to this profession in almost all cases, and where you start can lay the very groundwork for what your career becomes, so you really don’t want to screw that up. When you say health law, what exactly does that mean to you? Edit: since y...

i'd probably ask about it, especially if we went to the same school, and definitely if it said explicitly: "this student failed to stop writing at the appropriate time.'" it'd be a bad thing, and probably a dealbreaker if he/she couldn't explain it away satisfactorily. I'm not entirely sure my expl...

The first two ATL bonus notes I saw were for Kaplan and Wilkinson doing elite boutique things, and gave up there being anything interesting happening in bonus season.

Unless you think Fried Frank paying for basically corpses on 130% bonuses is good news.

Hey guys! I was admitted in late September, and just got an invitation for a dinner with Dean Faulk when he comes to my city (NYC) next week. Any idea what this means? Is it a pseudo-interview for scholarships, or just a friendly admitted students info session of sorts? Appreciate any pointers! Con...

Ok, as I see it, you have multiple problems here, one of which ymmv already touched on. 1. No one knows objectively how law schools are treating GREs, so there isn’t any evidence to suggest the quant or vocab section actually matter more, and that says nothing of how GREs are treated relative to LSA...

Why not retake the GRE and improve your score if you’re that well-versed in quant?

Good job CLS. Your LRAP was already really strong, but things like child deductions are really nice.

Does anyone know if a visit to UVA (where one goes to all the admissions panels and stuff like that) can stand in place of an interview?

Yes it can if you meet with someone in admissions during the visit.

That’s a deceptively easy question (and I’m guessing mostly rhetorical). If you’re hoping to publish or use your note to satisfy a writing requirement for graduation, put the work in so meeting the publishing/graduation requirements will be easier based on frontloading the work. If you’re just tryin...

sure, send them my way.

That’s really a personal decision, as it is for anyone writing a PS or DS. Whether to focus on one aspect of your diversity in something you write or not should be based on whether you think you’re putting forward the best application you can to highlight positive things about you, the applicant. An...

I don't know that this is an ethics violation, but I'm not sure it's a realistic plan either. I'm going to try to unpack your situation as best I can, and I apologize in advance if I misinterpret anything you've said or misrepresent what you're looking for at a law school, with hopes of giving you t...

The most frustrating part of the memo to me is allocating the appropriate amount of space to each issue. I get that we're supposed to be concise but the balance of adequately addressing an issue and being succinct can be really tough I obviously have no idea what your memo/issues are, but this is t...

Like that being said making sure the spelling/grammar is better than in that there my post up there is probably well worth your time. And some critiques are good, but the overall point is don’t overthink it. And the important caveat is to learn to take these edits and just make them sometimes, even...

This is almost criminally unfunny.
