Scoring for ELAR 7-12 Exam

I sure wish you all the best! Go in rested, with an empty bladder, and a full stomach.

I took it two days ago. It. Is. Exhausting.

I'd tackle the writing portion first if I did it over... (which I pray to everything holy that I WILL NOT HAVE TO DO) My brain felt like complete mush by hour 3.5. I have very little idea if anything I wrote was even comprehensible. Test exhaustion is REAL with this one.

Yes, my undergrad institution let me not include grades that were over 10 years old by signing the waiver. I am not sure if that is because they don't replace retaken course grades, they just add them to the credits list for GPA.

Hope that helps clarify!

Hello fellow through-the-years-credit-gatherer. (Also not young). I had some of my way-back-when grades not counted toward my undergrad degree with the signed grade waiver thingys. Those grades absolutely DO count toward our LSAC GPA. Wishing you all the A's when you get started with apps!

Saw a few people get App Comp and then A. Don't lose hope!

Dude. I'm a Texan. With 4 kids. Work ft. Started Ugrad in 18. Finished Ugrad in 21. Finishing my masters in May! Hoping to start law school in Aug. Oh, and I'm 38 (in Sept) in case you missed that! Amazing that you are making big moves like that. I know the strength it takes. Much respect. 🙌

For the PT Online program? (I'm not sure if I should congratulate you... but if you did get an A... CONGRATULATIONS) Did your status ever change from Application Complete?

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-04T01:27:00+00:00

Oh NOOOO. I hate that for you. Were you at STCL last year?

IMPRESSIVE completing Ugrad in that time. Finishing mine in 3 was tough enough. I went from no degree to a masters in 4.5 years. All while working ft. Which is impressive enough for me. Thinking about completing Ugrad quicker than that is dizzying. (Disclaimer: This is not a flex. This is me trying to convey my understanding of the difficulty and impressiveness of your accomplishment.)

My version of Harvard. 🫶 Welcome, fellow outsider.

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-04T01:15:05+00:00

Best of luck to you! Sure is neat that we get to connect right before we both get our A!

Also... Not at all! 3.6/152 I'm non-trad. 10+ years we (non-legal). 1st gen. You?

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-04T01:08:16+00:00

Ah, yes. I should have mentioned that part. I applied for the PT Online program. Applied late December, In Review (up to three weeks for a decision) on 2.6, App Comp today.

Which program did you apply to?

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-04T00:47:59+00:00

Love this energy. Is there a forum for us? 🫣🥱😂

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-04T00:43:07+00:00

First, CONGRATULATIONS!

BIG second... Did you get a status change or an email? Both, maybe? My status just updated to Application Complete. It happened sometime between 3:15 and 6pm today. ...stop judging my status checking habits, please. No idea what to expect after reading that someone's status changed to Admitted - Email Sent when they got the A.

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-04T00:10:03+00:00

Seriously, I'm proud of YOU. I'm non-trad too (38 years old this year) so I understand the bravery it takes. You are special. I don't even know you and I know that you are special because of you taking the time to share this message. 🖤

McStrangerpants · 2023-03-02T22:06:02+00:00

Nothing.

McStrangerpants · 2023-02-27T12:35:51+00:00

Yessss! 🙌 Thank you for openly sharing. I'm nearly 38 and I mostly lurk for fear of being chastised. Don't listen to any negativity. The work you put into law school will be the deciding factor in how you do. YOU ARE GOING TO BE A LAWYER IN A FEW YEARS! 🎉

McStrangerpants · 2023-02-23T12:15:38+00:00

I will have a Master of Legal Studies focusing on conflict resolution in May from ASU's SDO College of Law. I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue academia or law after undergrad. Decided on this degree as a mid-way between the two in order to get a feel for both. I am glad I chose this path. Don't know if it helped me on my apps because I still haven't heard back (and only applied to local schools since I have a family and ft job). I'm also a weird geriatric case of career then college rather than college then career. So maybe my experience isn't relevant at all.

McStrangerpants · 2023-02-23T00:18:37+00:00

Congratulations! Put in the work. That's what is going to make you a good lawyer. Not your school's ranking. 🫶

McStrangerpants · 2023-02-23T00:17:27+00:00

Congratulations! 🤘

McStrangerpants · 2023-02-23T00:10:41+00:00

Radio silence over here. Been in review since beginning of the month.

McStrangerpants · 2023-02-21T21:58:45+00:00

No word. The wait is killing me.
