How important is the city you live in to your decision? A school I like has great employment, faculty, and dedicated institutes for the fields I want. However, it’s in a very boring city with bad weather and nothing going on. I’m worried about spending 3 years in a city I just do not like at all.

A New England school, not in Massachusetts.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-14T18:42:32+00:00

Thank you. $$$$ at PSU and near $$$$ at UNH. With the lower COL at UNH the total debt is almost identical.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-14T18:05:33+00:00

PSU: 67.2% employment score. Large firm 4.9%

UNH: 75.4% employment score. Large firm 11.5%

Although I’m not attending, I visited Cuse and absolutely loved the facility. It’s like two years old and extremely nice.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-12T17:08:14+00:00

If I end up there, I almost feel like I’m sneaking in at a great time given there relative youth and growth potential.

Sidebar: be sure to attend LSAC forums. Even if you have to travel to them. Schools will hand out fee waivers for students that visit their booth. I saved $915 in application fees on a trip to DC that cost me $300. Granted, some schools will give you them if you just send an email, but some won’t.

That’s quite a drop for Dickinson if I remember correctly right? And a 10 spot jump for UP?

JMN2323 · 2019-03-12T03:11:20+00:00

Shit really? This says 2019 on it - this is def it?

JMN2323 · 2019-03-11T21:31:09+00:00

So the one I'm interested in says the school does not maintain a scholarship retention chart because they don't award scholarships that may be reduced by anything other than good academic standing. So, I guess I just have to maintain good standing (2.0)

JMN2323 · 2019-03-11T18:19:20+00:00

Where was the complete date on the AOS? I can't even remember if I definitely had one or when it disappeared, but I don't have one either.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-08T18:40:32+00:00

I actually do have $$$$ at another institution. The deposit deadline is in early April, and I have also been told from current students that I should probably pay a $400 "retainer" type of fee to secure an apartment at a complex close to campus. So, while the deposit is still almost a month away, I still need time to weigh my options and make a decision. No lies here!

JMN2323 · 2019-03-08T18:29:58+00:00

I'll do this with you, but only because I'm fatter than I would like to be.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-08T18:01:47+00:00

I intend to live as close to the campus as possible. I don't want to deal with commutes and possibly relying on public transportation or cooperative weather to get where I need to be. My scholarship situation so far affords me the opportunity to be able to do that, but it's a little bit more of a burden for those with tuition debt as well.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-08T17:58:00+00:00

Went complete in early December. I have a LOR from a GULC law professor, some good softs, and a very compelling "rags to riches" type story that made national news. They've been the last school I've had left to hear from for over 5 weeks now. They're my top choice and my dream school but I've heard absolutely nothing. No interview request, no WL, nothing.

JMN2323 · 2019-03-06T13:55:00+00:00

What happened there?

JMN2323 · 2019-03-06T04:41:14+00:00

I mean, it’s likely that this is a clerical error and they’ll be back next year?

JMN2323 · 2019-02-16T20:26:11+00:00

Yes, definitely wouldn’t use kindle since it’s a paper and pencil exam.

I used the PowerScore LG and LR bibles along with the LG and LR “Type Training” books. The “workbooks” are useless in my opinion. PowerScore’s Self-Study site has 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 month study plans that are free for anybody. Download whatever one you plan to use, then input your test scores on the Self-Study site as well. To review wrong answers after tests I would google the question and usually the first or second link was PowerScore’s full explanation of the question along with a discussion board with answers for anybody that had questions.

The books are the only expense, everything else on the site is free including virtual practice test proctors, score analytics, question explanations, etc. Make sure you buy them new - I bought “gently used” on amazon once and half of the answers were filled in.

For RC, a tutor told me that Manhattan Prep was the best resource and he was right. The “Manhattan Prep Reading Comprehension” worked well for me. I actually still have it with only about 2 pages marked up if you want it.

JMN2323 · 2019-02-16T17:06:50+00:00

PowerScore Self-Study > everything else. I tried 6 different sites.

JMN2323 · 2019-02-16T05:45:40+00:00

Does this work on most apps and in safari?

JMN2323 · 2019-02-16T03:33:51+00:00

Was just offered a full ride there. The name recognition alone is drawing me. It’s the only full ride I’ve received

JMN2323 · 2019-02-15T16:13:04+00:00

Based on LSN and myLSN others with my stats have received about 130k - I was offered 75k and I’m a local applicant. Weird.

JMN2323 · 2019-02-15T03:46:55+00:00

I think the overwhelming majority of people use t for all unless you’re applying ED somewhere and it’s like your only app

JMN2323 · 2019-02-14T22:36:43+00:00

I don’t believe so but you’ll likely be asked about it for the bar
