will UH hold my applications until my LSAT score is released, even though i have a score already on file?

i’m applying to UHLC this cycle. i already have a score on file from my previous lsat (150). i plan to retake it in january and have been pting low 160’s. my gpa is a 3.92, and i think the rest of my application is strong. i want to apply before my january lsat, but i was wondering if UHLC would hold my application before that score was released. has anyone dealt with this before, and how did it work?

also, with my stats (assuming i get a ~160 on my jan lsat), is applying that late in the cycle a bad idea?

any help is appreciated, thank you!!

Linkdln

Hello everyone, current 1L here. I was wondering how many LinkedIn connections I need to have before applying to big law. I heard 300. I was also wondering what kinds of content I should be posting to make myself look good. I assume that I will be a very competitive candidate once I get my LinkedIn up.

Tour/Campus Visit

Hello everyone!

I will be in Houston the weekend of October 25th - 27th, and after looking through the event calendar I unfortunately do not see any for the 25th. I wanted to reach out and see if anybody would be comfortable or have the time to do an individual tour of the law school, or if someone could point me in the right direction!

I’d greatly appreciate it! :)

Sections A B C?

What are our sections based on? Are we grouped randomly? Asking cause a friend at South Texas said sections were based on LSAT and GPA scores making some sections more competative?

The idea makes me nervy!

Applying to UHLC

Hey everyone!

I am looking at UHLC as my primary option for law school.

170 LSAT

3.4 CAS GPA

2-3 yrs work experience in non-profits and political campaigns

My goal is to work in Houston and I’m pretty drawn to this program due their externships and U.S.-Mexican Legal Center.

Any words of advice?

Transfer to UH Law

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how hard would it be to transfer to UH from Texas southern law school? I was admitted into UH law initially but decided to go to TSU my first year because of a full ride for my first year.

Janitor on the Second Floor

Stay away from this guy (6ft, 40 y/o, black, bald). Works on the second floor during the evening shift.

I made the mistake of engaging with him in one conversation and now every time I see him he says something snarky to me. Reported him to UH Facilities and they haven't done anything about it yet.

If anyone else has problems with him, I would suggest reporting him to facilities. It's been really frustrating dealing with this guy when I go to school.

What is the culture like?

I would appreciate if current students give some feedback about the culture. Is it easy to make friends? Additionally, are there a fair amount of KJDs?

Looking for roommate in Houston

Hello!

I’m currently looking for a roommate as I’m an incoming 1L.

I know the Houston area can be pretty dicey as it’s a big city so I’m hoping to room with someone who’s around my age and gender (21 M) and that’s interested in living in areas like the Med Center, Rice Village, Houston heights, and Midtown, as that’s where I’m currently looking for housing.

If anyone is interested please feel free to DM me so we can get to know each other and see if we’ll be a good fit!

Attending 1L Virtually?

I live in Boston and my husband has an opportunity that is tying him down for another year in Boston.

I was admitted into UHLC and really excited to start in August. Are there any online options to attend from a different state?

Or, is there any other options that y’all are aware of?

what to wear?

This is kind of a dumb thing to ask. . .

But I was recently accepted to UHLC and Im just wondering what is the standard attire to wear to class.

I know business casual is suggested, but what do actual students wear day-to-day?

Where to live in Houston?

Hey guys I wanted to start looking at living options in Houston and I was hoping to get some good recommendations for places to live. I was looking for something within like 20 mins of the school and that would be a nice area to live in. Preferably something like a high rise. If you guys can think of anything let me know!

uhlc financial aid

hey all, I recently got accepted into UHLC for law school and im really excited! the only problem is that the scholarship I got was a lot less than I expected ($2,500) I was told UHLC had good financial aid so I was wondering what I could do for them to offer me more money. I havent submitted a fafsa so i think that might be a problem, and i also wanted to know, If i have better scholarships from other schools would it be possible to leverage my scholarships at other schools to try and get more money from UHLC? i did that for my undergrad and it worked so i was just wondering if it would work here as well.

Prospective student just wanted to ask questions.

Hey guys! So I’m looking at law schools to apply to this fall/winter and I had never really considered UHLC but after seeing their job placement and NALP information I’m very intrigued. I’m planning to go into big law and UHLC has some of the highest numbers I’ve seen in terms of that outside of UT Austin. So my question is what would a student like yourselves recommend me to do? I’m already gonna apply there but I just want advice as to whether the facilities are nice, the financial aid is good and what life is like in Houston.

Also what opportunities are there currently for internships in UHLC and how do they work?

Has anyone had experience with being waitlisted in courses? Specifically I’m a rising 2L still waitlisted in Evidence and PR. Should I just drop them and find something else?
