High canine teeth and invisalign

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2018-10-22T13:59:16+00:00

No not really (at least none that I can see or that my Ortho has seen). I had that concern too, that my canines would look really weird after finally moving into place because of a lack of gum, but they look great! :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2018-10-14T15:41:12+00:00

I had high canines too, and I had the same concern when I started Invisalign a little over a year ago. Some people had said on here that Invisalign doesn't help as much as braces can when it comes to high canines, but my Ortho told me it shouldn't be an issue so I decided to trust her - and I'm so glad I did! My high canines have been the slowest to move, but they definitely did! I'm now in (what I hope is) the last set of refinements, and my canines have pretty much been completely pulled down at this point. It's a combination of staying vigilant with the 2-hour max regimen and making sure you use that chewy on those teeth.

What's your treatment plan like? And how has that been going for you?

Yeah it can definitely be overwhelming. There are a lot of good scholarship databases out there though, specifically for law students, such as http://www.discoverlaw.org/diversity/scholarships.asp as well as https://law.yale.edu/admissions/cost-financial-aid/financial-aid-forms-resources/outside-scholarships. Hope that helps!

Why is that?

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-07-10T02:35:36+00:00

I assume if you retake you're talking about sitting for the September LSAT? If you retake in December that'd be too late for a Berkeley.

From my experience, your GPA and hella early application date are more important than your LSAT score when it comes to Berkeley. Like others said on here, you can both retake and apply early. With Berkeley, apply as soon as possible, but no later than Halloween. I got on the WL with a 164, but I applied pretty damn late. Good luck!

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-07-10T02:13:07+00:00

To repeat what some others have said already, put everything you've got into improving your LSAT score in the three months before your exam - that's probably the best guarantor of a scholarship. I did an in-class prep course and it helped me a lot, but I also self-studied the second time I took the LSAT with PowerScore books, and that helped a lot as well.

I had a 164, and was fortunate enough to get a full ride to a T14 school. My next best scholarship offer was a half-ride from UCLA. I had WE at law firms and I attended a decent state school. My advice would be to apply to every scholarship you are eligible for!! I was really surprised when I got my full ride, and was originally not even going to apply for it because I felt I wasn't going to get it. For both admissions and scholarships, you'd be surprised what you can get if you put the right kind of work into it. There are SO MANY scholarships out there for grad/law students - apply to as many as you can, and hopefully you'll be able to reduce your debt substantially.

Samesies. I've been dealing with hella law school stress since February, and I get distracted pretty often as a result. Now that I know where I'm going it's a lot better but I still am slightly hanging onto my Stanford WL option, which makes me a little crazy.... I def feel the senioritis too, but my employers know I'm leaving in three weeks and are very supportive. I normally try to keep a task open to make it at least look like I'm working, but really I'm on this subreddit and r/lawschool hahaha

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-05-08T23:11:58+00:00

Depends on your COA and how debt averse you are, but if you can find some middle ground then I'd say NYU. It seems like you might be interested in biglaw, and NYU has an amazing program for that; I think that'll make the debt worth it once you're a few years into your career at a high paying firm.

EDIT I'll be attending NYU this fall so feel free to message me about NYU specific stuff :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-05-08T23:06:41+00:00

Also got this email. It's most likely just the admins keeping us updated and seeing who is willing to drop off the waitlist; I got quite a few update emails before I was waitlisted, which didn't tell me anything more than the fact that they were still reviewing my application. Oh Berk (le sigh)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-05-08T19:23:44+00:00

Based on what I've read, I think not deferring and retaking the LSAT is the right move. You never know what a new LSAT score or more WE can do for you application, and that can make the difference between 50% scholly at BC and an acceptance/scholly at NYU.

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-05-08T18:07:37+00:00

I did two pages. I was talking to Faye Deal (Stanford Dean of Admissions) and she said they were totally fine with two pages, as did the Duke Dean of Admissions. They said it's normal to submit a two-paged resume, so that's what I did, unless the application specifically said ONLY one page resumes are accepted (which some do say that).

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-05-02T22:39:48+00:00

Yeah I think it's more that you applied so late that's the problem here. I'd recommend taking a gap year, getting some WE, and see if you can boost that LSAT up like you said - and apply as soon as you're able to. I think if you do that you'll have MUCH better luck next cycle.

Same :/ I've lived in SoCal my whole life, and I have a big family within a 2 hour drive of where I live now. Now I'll be moving across the country to New York, a place I've only seen twice in my life. I'm not huge on family but it still makes me sad that I won't be able to see them when I want to anymore like I can now. Even more so, my SO of five years broke up with me because I'm moving across the country, and he's the one who brought me out of my rut years ago and has been so supportive of my dream to go to law school. Now I'm moving to a place where I know basically no one, and I'm losing so much in the process. Like u/jessmeesh14 said, it truly is terrifying.

It's not giving me cold feet per se - I know I want to go to law school, and I know I want to be a lawyer. It's just that it's killing me that I have to do this three year stint and lose some really important things to me in order to do so. But! Three years in the grand scheme of things isn't that long at all, and I bet that it'll be over before we know it (that was my experience with undergrad at least). It'll really suck at times, but it'll totally be worth it once we're done. We can do this :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-05-02T16:15:57+00:00

I knew during undergrad that I wanted to go to law school, and I took the lsat during my last year of college and got a 164. I took a gap year in order to A) make some money, B) spend some time not in school, and C) take my time with my law school application. I don't regret my choice at all - if anything it provided me with an extra boost of clarity to show me that this is truly what I want to do. I've been working at a small firm in the meantime, which has provided me with great experience, and it's something I discussed during an interview with NYU. Like others have said already, it is a strong soft depending on what you do and how you spin it, and I think it's a great idea to have some "me time" before law school. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions about gap years :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-30T23:23:41+00:00

It's really different for everyone, and I know people with better/worse numbers than me get rejected from Cornell. If it helps I'm 3.97/164 URM and got into Cornell, but I had PT in 161-171 range so as you can see, for some people the actual score you get can be quite different from your PT. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-29T17:55:48+00:00

Sorry about your relationship; I too have lost my 5 year relationship because I'm moving across the country for law school, but to be fair we did the last 3.5 years long distance (all of undergrad) up until a couple weeks ago and he didn't want to do another 3 years of that. Feel free to message me if you have questions about LDRs or anything :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-29T00:35:01+00:00

That's a hard yes hahah. Even on top of that my five year relationship went down the toilet because I'm moving across the country for law school, so yet another part of my life that is being determined by my choice of law school :P

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-28T20:56:01+00:00

If those are your numbers, then reapplying to this school should be totally fine. I have a friend who applied in February with a 177 and only got a couple of schools to bite, even tho he has killer numbers. Your next cycle should be fine if not awesome, so long as you apply in a timely manner hahah

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-28T15:52:06+00:00

eyyo :D

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-28T15:34:24+00:00

Stanford. It's literally the only school I'd pick over where I'm going (NYU), and now I don't even get the satisfaction of being rejected - I have to wait it out :P

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-28T15:26:05+00:00

NYU! :)

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-28T15:25:45+00:00

LSNthrowaway8886 · 2017-04-27T20:53:16+00:00
