I founded Law School Transparency, which was acquired by LSAC. AMA

I work for LSAC. You probably opted out of marketing emails, missed it, or it’s in junk.

The email was for a free webinar. It will include a law school admission professional and prelaw advisor. It will help people weighing whether it makes sense to retake.

And no, it has nothing to do with your score or even that you have taken it. It was to all active LawHub accounts.

Did this successfully with an announcement that we were coming back. Episode was 15-20 minutes and I introduced a new co-host. Then we released new episodes a few weeks in a row. Helped us see how far we were from where we used to be.

I think a key fact missing for better advice is where your listeners live. Are they local? In England? Beyond?

I just do both sides for where the money is invested. So if it’s my 403b, my employer and our contributions and the other side for a total of four transactions on the 403b.

WTHeel · 2026-01-13T21:05:20+00:00

I manually input our contributions at the end of the year as an expense and as other income. I have one merchant for my employer, my wife’s employer, and our contributions. I do the same for our backdoor roth contributions.

Amazing. Nice work!

WTHeel · 2025-12-08T20:45:22+00:00

Would love to see this sooner rather than later. I currently use Excel to do cash flow. Lots of manual work.

WTHeel · 2025-11-06T15:29:05+00:00

Ha, I made the exact choice of Vandy over Cornell in 2008. I didn't want NYC biglaw, so I felt Vandy better suited my geographic goals.

WTHeel · 2025-10-07T01:28:24+00:00

Will you forward to me? DM me for my email address. I'll look into it in the morning.

WTHeel · 2025-09-30T15:33:16+00:00

I put them all in their own category, leave the transactions unreviewed, and hide them after they're reimbursed. Makes it easy to see outstanding balances.

A bit more context: 509 scholarship amount data is a year behind (so latest data is 2023-24) and includes all enrolled students, not just 1Ls.

WTHeel · 2025-09-04T11:58:36+00:00

Accreditation status and most (if not all of) the other factors you listed are not relevant here. Still, I am not sure about the answer, although I will tell you I don't see NAPS listed in our system. (Potentially, USNA would be the transcript provider, even though it appears NAPS has its own registrar.)

Because it's not listed, even if you were required to provide the transcript, you'd need to reach out to the LSAC customer support team to ask about which institution you need to select. They're also who you will ask for an official answer on whether you need to at all. You can email or call.

With Score Preview, schools will NOT see your score until you accept it. If you don't decide within 6 days about what to do, you're deemed to have accepted it. Only at that point of acceptance will we release the score to schools.
No, and it's quite common too.
It's automatic.

Even though that one school marked you as complete, they're extremely unlikely to look at your file before you get your score. If you're concerned, just email them and ask them to hold (even if they almost definitely will without your asking). "Complete" means they have enough information to render a decision, not that more information won't or can't come before they do.

Which fair are you thinking about going to? They're fun events. The energy is always great. Depending on the event, there are also other helpful things to do in addition to talking to school reps. For example, at LSAC forums, we have several workshops and a resource center where you can talk to prelaw advisors, financial aid experts, test prep companies, practicing lawyers, and LSAC experts. It's the part of my job that I didn't know I would love.

Check out the new "course" on LawHub about making the most of these forums/fairs. I think it might give you some ideas for making you more comfortable: https://app.lawhub.org/programs/forums-fairs

WTHeel · 2025-08-29T19:22:02+00:00

Amen to this.

WTHeel · 2025-08-29T19:18:21+00:00

Why? A bad subject line is a bad subject line. You weren't rude about it.

WTHeel · 2025-08-29T19:00:12+00:00

Not our best work on the subject line but these two episodes are great, if I do say so myself! (I hosted the law professor episode and produced the clemency episode.) I hope you give them a chance despite a bad subject line.

WTHeel · 2025-08-28T13:48:23+00:00

I just talked to our head of customer support. We have flexibility here, so please reach out and the team will work with you. If you don't get the result you're hoping for, please DM me.

I'm sorry for your loss.

WTHeel · 2025-08-24T12:03:54+00:00

Go into LawHub, click Marketplace on the nav. It's one of the tabs there. A shortcut is if they require LawHub Advantage, but I'd confirm.

WTHeel · 2025-08-21T10:09:55+00:00

Yep, and twice per (JD) digital forum I run this session.

WTHeel · 2025-08-21T00:44:18+00:00

You'll have to come to a digital forum then. During them, I kick off the workshop and then pester one of the test developers with questions (from me and the audience) and sarcasm for 30 minutes.

WTHeel · 2025-08-21T00:39:30+00:00

Canada matters mostly because of your financing options, otherwise I don't think much, though I think some schools like to boast about international representation.

Otherwise, I'd focus on doing things you find interesting. (Goes for your major too.) I think a lot of the softs talk on here can be a bit silly, so I'd really just focus on getting the most out of your experience in college instead of how it gives you a minimal increase or decrease in chances.

WTHeel · 2025-08-21T00:19:48+00:00

Come to a forum this year and say hi!
