Hi everyone so here’s my sob story: Worked all throughout college so my gpa stands at 2.83 (ik spare me the hate i’ve been rough on myself 😓) just took the LSAT first time and got 153 - When should I apply? I take the LSAT again in January (with accommodations finally) and I just finished my last semester. Should I wait to see if my last two classes boosted me to a 3.0 or is it not likely? should i just start applying and ask to hold off decisions until I get my new score? PLS HELP i’m first generation and have no one to ask 😣any other advice is super appreciated

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to get your thoughts on delaying my law school applications until February to allow time to improve my LSAT score. Do you think this approach could enhance my chances of admission, or would applying later in the cycle outweigh the potential benefit of a higher score?

I’d greatly appreciate your insight.

Hi! I just logged in today and my Fordham Application Status Date has changed to 11/4. I would've definitely noticed if it changed early. Does anybody know why it would have change to 11/4 this late? What does this date change mean?

Anyone who’s not ED hear anything from Rutgers yet?

i’ve applied to seven schools. BROAD range- schools im above, below, and right in the middle of medians.

I haven’t heard a peep from any of them.

now i’m frantically applying to other schools bc im getting extremely nervous as I see everyone else’s As.

Am i overreacting? Am i under reacting? Should i listen to phoebe bridgers’ “so much wine” on repeat and cry myself to sleep?

I’m first gen AF and really don’t know this process as well as i thought i did.

thx xoxo

I want to get the New York law schools applications over with since they will be much faster (re-applying...).

Can I submit/pay those first and then come back and take my time time with other schools? What does that look like?

Last year I just submitted everything at once. Thank you everyone in advance.

Submitting applications tonight, any tips/advice for resumes?

Got deferred from GULC today. Any advice on what I should do? Send a LOCI?

Genuinely wondering. My application was marked complete on the 19th and I haven't heard anything because it's only been a few weeks. If I don't get an interview, does that mean I don't have a chance?

I'm also applying ED 168/3.91 if that has any impact on it

162 3.96 gpa or 165 3.71 gpa ?

Which one has a better chance ?

hi! i applied ED (BC scholars scholarship option) to BC law on 11/28. my GPA is 3.79 and my LSATs are 166 and 163 (the 2nd time). i didn’t write the optional essay because my personal statement discussing my motivations for law school basically already functioned as a diversity statement. i’m also a current BC undergrad. what do you think my chances of admissions are?

Interviewed on November 22. Did not receive the call last week.

Am I cooked?

My LSAC portal claims it’s fully set-up and I’ve selected all of the email/outreach options. I’ve also applied to a few schools (which say completed) but get 0 LSAC school emails. Am I missing something? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I was expecting at least some spammy promotion emails!

Good softs, I think. At least a good story and good letters of recommendation from some notable individuals. What I’m really trying to figure out is what an “above average” designation from LSAC means for T14. Non-URM, if that matters.

if you received a wl/r today, what were your timelines? did you do a group, alumni or no interview?

I'm in the process of applying to law schools. Michigan State does not use any "Electronic Exchange" transcript services, but also say they no longer mail transcripts. How am I suppose to send LSAC my MSU undergrad transcripts? Anyone had this issue before?

I applied 9/30. I know there have been waves and interviews sent out. My application is marked complete but has yet to go under review let alone a potential II. Is anyone else in this boat? Why is the timeline seemingly so inconsistent in terms of going from app complete to under review etc?

I submitted my application to Fordham yesterday. While filling out on LSAC, I submitted the optional essay as well as an addendum. Today, Fordham law sent me an email with my applicant online status checker, and when I go into it, I see my letters of recommendation are there as well as under the requirements list my personal statement and resume have checkmarks next to them. however, when I look at the “Documents” section, I do not see any records available.

I just wanna see if this is normal since I did add the optional essay and addendum to my application while filling it out on LSAC. They are included in my pdf copy of my app.

THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

I wanted to check in and see how everyone's cycle is going if they applied in November! I see a lot of posts from people who got theirs in throughout September and October, but my application process was super delayed because of a score hold, so I got mine between Nov. 3 and Nov. 26. Personally, I've had a few schools update me to UR1 so far, but I'm more curious about everyone else!

How are we feeling? How are our status updates looking? How high is our blood pressure?

that 7sage predictor is not matching up with the radio silence I’ve had as late Oct applicant. We really out here!

I worked a job over multiple summer but for some applications that ask for employment history, I’m unable to indicate that my work was seasonal. I can only put the start and end date. I don’t want to give the impression that I worked during the school year (and i’m not sure what trouble I’ll get into if I put that). What should I do?

For anyone who has heard from Stetson, how long did it take to receive your decision after your LSAC status updated to “pending decision” ?

I have a compelling reason that comes from childhood for why I want to be an attorney.

However, it is a massive career jump from what I have been doing job. The main job I've had was something I just tried out because I didn't know what to do with my life and it was a way to make money (for the most part).

I feel like I'm having to force "why now" into my personal statements to not have the adcoms wondering why the change all of a sudden.

Is this the right thing to do?

I just completed Texas' virtual interview and I do not think I put the L in my LSAC number when I initially signed up. It still sent me through the entire process, do I need to correct it? If I do, how?

Who knew this 2 year journey of LSAT and admissions work would all come to an end on this random Monday. Just submitted my 14 applications. Time to enjoy only having 1 big professional responsibility to worry about, my full time job. For the past 2 years it’s been at least 2 or 3. I’m so excited.

So I applied to law school again, and met the Associate Director of Admissions at a law school and he told me he put in a good word for me with the committee. He told the committee he has a personal belief that I'd be an amazing law student?? im really hoping i get in yall. idk how much weight he has, but made me cautiously hopeful <3 rooting for all y'all, send some positivity my way cuz god knows I need it. I've applied to law school 3 years in a row lol, so really hoping this time.

I’m in a unique situation, I recently got a 169 in November (3.9X GPA). I’m an international student in my senior year of a a US University. I am CERTAIN I can do better on the LSAT (I have only taken one single PT and drilled very lightly during my free time), but I also NEED a full ride or close to it to attend law school.

If I was a permanent resident/student I would be happy to take a year to work/study for the LSAT. However, I am not, and due to my personal circumstances not starting Law School in the fall is not really an option.

I understand that my stats are good enough for admission to a good law school. And I understand that I will almost certainly be able to find a school that will give me a full scholarship. But obviously, like most of you, I want to go to the best school I possibly can.

If I take the January lsat and ultimately delay my applications’ submission to Feb 1st how badly will I hurt my chances of getting a full ride to a T30 school?
