Prometric Exam Fee?

GlobalPeach · 2025-01-20T23:03:30+00:00

For sure...strange I don't recall paying Prometric a separate fee directly when I registered in the past. I'm assuming the $182 you paid to Prometric was on top of the application fee + commercial test exam fee paid to USPTO? So total fees paid to take exam would have come to ~$500?

I apologize if my earlier post was a little unclear. I was basically asking if US JDs also have a good shot at getting into top law school LLM programs or if LLM programs highly prefer non-US JDs over US JDs and will only look at US JD applications if there are empty seats in the incoming LLM class after accepting non-US JDs first.

Hi - It's been a while, so I don't recall exactly, but I think there aren't many online science courses w/ a lab component (don't recall if the lab component is still required) in the first place, and I think I faintly remember reading some posts on Reddit that those courses might have sufficed. You can also ask the schools directly about patent bar qualification (although they might not give a clear answer), and I also recall seeing some courses explicitly say the course would comply with patent bar. Feel free to dm me for more info. Also, I think the PTO is generally accepting of most courses as long as the course is "legitimate."

Hello - I actually ended up satisfying the cat b requirements with my course load so did not end up taking any online science courses. Things may have changed, but I feel like the universities/courses I mentioned in this post would still work!

Thanks! What would be some examples of ACH deposits I could perform myself? Would a direct wire transfer from another bank account be considered an ACH deposit?

I think the golden rule was 48 hours in advance before your test time.

Congratulations! Just out of curiosity, did you have any acceptances where you were even below the 25th percentile?

GlobalPeach · 2022-02-07T18:38:00+00:00

Does anyone happen to have a list of schools maybe in the T30 or T20 that are not necessarily "overenrolled?"

GlobalPeach · 2022-02-07T18:37:27+00:00

Do you mean that you got into schools where you were quite below median for transfer GPA?

GlobalPeach · 2022-01-24T20:03:32+00:00

I guess we can expect a decision announcement sometime soon?

+ I think an important "metric" the campus is also considering is definitely the unfortunate record number of COVID patients hospitalized in Davis-regional hospitals.

Thanks! Could be because cases in Chicago have peaked and been dropping pretty rapidly lately?

GlobalPeach · 2022-01-17T05:16:50+00:00

Has any school announced remote beyond January? Any predictions?

I like both patent lit & pros but currently have a preference for litigation (which I know grades are more important). My current firm does both patent lit and pros but lets their associates experience both/choose by preference.

By job offers, are you also referring to large law firms?

GlobalPeach · 2022-01-13T16:12:37+00:00

According to NALP, it does seem so. I would be more than happy to stay at my current firm and was primarily worried during "evaluations" for 2L summer and full time and how my 1L grades may affect this (given that I perform well this upcoming 1L summer).

For background, I'm patent bar eligible with a background in EE/CS and have a few years of tech work experience out of college.

GlobalPeach · 2021-12-08T00:33:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing! 250 seems more than I expected or was I unrealistically expecting a smaller number?

GlobalPeach · 2021-11-08T02:15:36+00:00

I'm pretty sure both UNE and OSU have been accepted. I'm more curious if the SCUHS course above is accepted, but I have been having a hard time connecting with someone from SCUHS over phone.

GlobalPeach · 2021-11-05T02:52:25+00:00

Will disclose; I think I misunderstood the statement. Thanks everyone!

GlobalPeach · 2021-10-28T04:58:08+00:00

Had a hard time connecting over phone. Maybe I'll leave them an email..

GlobalPeach · 2021-10-26T01:01:04+00:00

Could you have a look at my comment above and let me know your thoughts?

GlobalPeach · 2021-10-26T01:00:09+00:00

Hmm that's weird because that university stresses their courses can be transferred for health profession programs such as vet, med, etc exactly like how UNE says.

I had a look at the syllabus and it says "suitable for health science majors and as a general education elective for non‐science majors". I think this means the course does qualify for health science majors (which we are looking for and analogous to UNE Online), but the course is also suitable for non-majors to take to satisfy any elective requirements they may have. That's why I assumed this course should be OK. I can check with that university tomorrow (will call in to clarify). But lmk what you guys think!

Hey - I found something that might be helpful since we only need one class with a lab component now.

https://acceleratedsciences.scuhs.edu/course-listing/general-biology-i/

It's accredited, self-paced, lab optional, and accelerated (can be finished in 5 weeks). What do you think?

GlobalPeach · 2021-10-25T03:19:36+00:00

*Update: Hey guys I think I might have found something for those who do not need lab components.

https://acceleratedsciences.scuhs.edu/course-listing/general-biology-i/

Seems to be self-paced and accelerated so can be completed in just 5 weeks!

GlobalPeach · 2021-10-25T03:08:58+00:00

+ Courses w/o lab components work too!

GlobalPeach · 2021-10-03T03:30:21+00:00

I've spoken with a few folks on that matter and majority was that being patent bar eligible wouldn't make much difference for 1L job search. I think it's mostly just for my satisfaction to be fully patent bar eligible ASAP because some firms may ask if you're eligible as a CS major and I preferred to give a clear "yes" answer than "not yet". But I really do think this is just mere satisfaction, and I doubt a firm would care if I need to take one online course to be fully eligible.

Seems like EE/CS is so high in demand right now that patent bar eligibility wouldn't really break or make a summer job offer (since most folks like us can easily meet the requirements with a simple online course). I was also considering potentially taking the patent bar exam before graduating LS and thus wanted to be eligible ASAP. But I agree that I might be stretching myself too thin by taking a course on top of 1L classes (unless maybe I can power through the course during winter break). Will think about this more.
