Oh how I wish us luck. Oh how rough it is waiting to hear from them. When the email comes that a decision has been made, I'm gonna be sweating bullets.

I’m from Pakistan. I plan to do the university of London three year llb here in Pakistan. I want to know after that if I want to go to the US can I get better financial aid or scholarship at LLM or JD. Like where is more opportunity for it and also which degree is better to do

In other words, how screwed am I? I've taken the exam 4 times, scored 140-149, applied to each cycle, and been unsuccessful for four years straight. I kept all the scores well, bc I'm a dumbass and didn't have any guidance. My undergraduate GPA is a solid 3.0, but will complete my MPA this following May with A' s-B's. I recently retook the exam and felt more confident. However, I fear my past scores and undergrad GPA have marked me a red flag to most schools. Do I still have a chance of getting accepted to at least the low-ranking schools? I got the preview option this time and will use it and apply it in January if needed. Would that still give me a chance to start school in the fall? The difference between this cycle and the rest is that this time, I quit my job and risked all my savings to study all day- which I did and saw a lot of improvement by using the lawhub prep since August (100 recommend btw); but now I'm jobless, and bills/rent are burning my savings. What can I do other than jump off a bridge? I have broadened my applications and worked on my statement and the additional info statements that explain my experiences as a first-generation student who had to work to provide for my family. I never had the luxury of focusing on school but instead had to "be a man" and provide for my family. Is there a way out for first-gen students? Or are we meant to just eat shit due to our circumstances that sometimes limit our ability to focus and work on academia? I'm tired of failing and want to go to law school, but sometimes I feel I'm not destined for it due to my circumstances or my way of navigating the stress since I don't know anyone else who is like me and is reaching my goals. Please help. Thank you.

I’m seeing good news posts about A’s and I’s and II’s but have they been doling out the bad news yet?

For myself and all those who haven’t heard anything yet… Thank you!

Hi, to those who have explored LSAT tutoring I’m looking for some advice. With my score I can tutor, and I’m trying to figure out where I can most easily earn some extra cash before law school. I know that what you make can depend on the tutoring service, and I’m wondering if people have suggestions based on research/experience with different companies. Thanks lmk also is there any way to change your username on Reddit

I did it anyway lol.

Just submitted my application for GW presidential🤞🏻 does anyone know how long it might take to hear back?

i never got an email with a status checker for UTK. has anyone else had this issue?

Trying to figure out if my address “went long” or if UVA just puts it in like that. I don’t remember what it was before (I put it in short on the applications) but I did notice today that it was long and wasn’t sure if that was normal.

it’s so sick and twisted that lawhub created the application status tracker feature right after my lawhub subscription expired 🫠 not about to spend $120 for that

I submitted my ED app to UVA on 10/16, status went to under review on 10/17, and nothing since. Haven't been invited for an interview. Thinking it's not looking good. Thoughts?

Got into Baylor today, I have been checking my status checker a lot and checked today and it said a decision was rendered, so I called. Feeling so blessed! I am going to law school! Stats: 3.9, 15high, received $$.5, heard back in about 3 weeks!

My boss told me she got an email from WashU last week thanking her for the recommendation and she asked me if that meant I got in. I was like... girl I have not heard from them. Do they do that for everyone? LOL.

(Nothing wrong with my Undergrad transcript, which I know is what they use to make the CAS Report. 3.74 UGPA)

Background, I started a Ivy league masters degree in 2020 (covid) and finished everything except for 1 last class and the thesis that I needed to graduate.

I received all A's in all 9 classes I finished, but moving across the country for a high-responsibility full time job and my doubled financial responsibilities led me not finishing my last class I enrolled in. I had communicated with my professor at the time, and she was super understanding and said the course would be marked as Inc/Incomplete. Thank god I requested a copy of my graduate transcripts when I ordered them for CAS, because they actually registered this course as an F.

I mean, the transcript looks ridiculous. It says:
A A A A (1st sem)
A A- A A- (2nd sem)
A- (3rd sem)
F (final sem)

I've written to the university for a grade appeal this past week, but I haven't heard back yet. In case I don't get this appeal, should I just write an addendum? Is an addendum going to make up for this? Do law schools care about this one thing on my grad school transcript? Does it make me seem like a bad student?

*Additional but maybe not necessary context

I'm wondering if it'll help to tell the school the main reason why I did not finish the degree. My last semester I was enrolled, I only paid a registration fee to remain a student to finish my thesis and that incomplete course. I had committed to finally finishing the degree that spring of 2023, but had to reach out numerous times to admin to ask the process for thesis completion. I finally was told I should reach out to my advisor (I wasn't even aware I was assigned one), and before I scheduled my first meeting I already did a ton of work, writing about 20 pages. After meeting with her, she was like oh man, everyones back in person now, its going to be tough with you remote. I've always been a remote student, because my cohort started remote in 2020. She also made it seem like it was a bit of a pain because she's teaching abroad in a few months and apparently wasn't going to be available soon. I set up a meeting next week and wrote at least 15+ more pages for this meeting. My advisor never showed up, and didn't reach out again until months later with something akin to a "whats up?"

After she didn't show up, I kinda just gave up on the degree. I paid too much for my Ivy league education to be overall mid, and the admin and my advisor to not give a shit, even if I was a remote student. When I didn't register next semester, I never got any emails from any body. Haven't heard a single thing, and at some point months later I realized my school email no longer existed, I guess because I wasn't enrolled anymore.

I know I could have been more persistent after she didn't show up, but really the way I had to do digging to figure out how to approach the thesis to finish my degree, the she made me feel like I was a burden, and the carelessness despite me putting in a ton of work while working full time at a new super demanding job just made me wanna quit. If my professor showed up and actually seemed like she wanted to offer some support, I would have finished both the thesis and the incomplete course Spring 2023, but that obviously didn't happen. Not entirely blaming them, but also not saying it was all me either.

Hey all, I am currently in my senior year of undergrad and the goal my entire college career was to go straight to law school. After taking the October LSAT and not getting even near the score that I wanted I decided it might be best to take a gap year so I can really study for it. I take the November LSAT tomorrow, as I already had it registered before making my decision to take a gap year. I do not feel so much hope that it will go the way that I want it to. I was just wondering if anyone who has taken a gap year can tell me that it is going to be okay and it is totally normal to make this decision. I know many people take many gap years before law school, but everyone around me is taking the KJD route and I just cant right now. I guess I am coming on here for anyone to offer me perspective or advice. Thanks guys.

What time is the most appropriate to stop refreshing my status checker???? No way it would change at 7pm... right?

My status checker said a decision was rendered and I called admissions because I didn't receive an email or phone call. They told me my result and said they're mailing out admissions packets to admitted students next week!

3.89/167

Any advice for getting off the waitlist/prior experience with waitlist? Already emailed saying I would accept admission offer unequivocally. Plan to do so once a month until I hear back.

I know there have been a few of these already, but I'm so pleased! My first answer back. Got the call while I was at work around 12 so I called back at 1 and got the good news. Only applied two weeks ago so I wasn't expecting a response so fast. It's relieving to know that I've got in at least somewhere.

Stats: 17mid, 4.0, nURM, nKJD-ish, Resident, 1stgen

That feeling when it’s nearing EOD on Friday and you know you won’t hear anything over the 3-day weekend 😔

If your school does not do A+s does LSAC scale your GPA at all or are you just screwed. Because my gpa is relatively good but it looks average compared to these 4.3s that aren’t even possible at my school

I got an interview invite from WashU recently, and I am wondering what I should say to the "Why WashU" question if my real answer is, "Because you guys give great scholarships."

App went complete 10/21 and had no changes in status date until today (status still complete). Curious as to what this could mean, but I’m hoping it means I’ll be on the next UMich wave. Anyone else have any status change updates with UMich lately?

3.55 GPA, 162 LSAT

I want to get into kent and hopefully get scholarship money. What are my chances for getting in with scholarship offers?

I applied Sep. 1st and interviewed a few days after that and I have not heard anything since then. Should I be most likely expecting an R or WL? Stats are in flair btw.

And why? 🤔 Trying to figure out if my 23 is too many.

Just got an email that I was rejected from Umiami.

Im shocked I heard back anything at all this early because the website says 12 weeks or more to review the decision.

I’m a dual citizen residing in Canada, the summer before I applied to law school I worked at a subsidized tech incubator that dealt heavily with legal entities and frameworks (I still work there).

Stats: LSAT:160 GPA: 3.65

Does anyone have any insight as to why I could’ve been rejected, and this early. It would really benefit my mental health 😀

I had an interview with WashU this week, and then at the top of the status checker, "Under Committee review" appeared. Today, it is gone, Does anyone have something similar?
