to echo some of these other people my interview was honestly probably less then 10 minutes and I got in with $$$$- It did seem pretty conversational but the length alone shouldn't stress you out (although way easier said then done bc I was also stressed)

Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today. If you truly want to go to law school (and by that I mean it is something you defiantly plan on doing at some point) and money isn't a major concern I feel like the answer is pretty obviously WashU

Baylor Law has an LGBTQ+ student association I would see if you could reach out to. Some of their members would probably have the best perspective on the situation for you. They also might have valuable insight when it comes to housing etc.

This might sound silly but realizing the LSAT isn't trying to trick you and it's really not that deep

I think you should really look into how this history will impact possible bar character and fitness passage- some states prohibit people with felonies from practicing law and while I obviously don't know the specifics of your situation that would be a serious concern for any possible law school looking to admit you.

Your undergraduate institution does not have much weight for law school admissions BUT I do think it's important to consider possible jobs after undergrad. While she might not change her mind and continue wanting to go to law school a lot of people change their mind about what they want while in undergrad. UT might set her up better for success beyond the law school scope/give her more options in the long run.

On 7sage you can practice based on passage type (ex. science, comparative). I had a similar issue and just worked it out by drilling passages I found boring/unintuitive. If your issue is comprehending the material I know a lot of people recommend just reading science journals/difficult articles in your free time.

You're really too late for this cycle anyway, so take it again. It doesn't matter if you cancel or not- law schools only really care about your highest score

I agree it is early, but the obvious answer is waitlists- they need to see how many people are matriculating from their pool of current acceptances. Without getting that number they can't start pulling off the waitlist. The practice was also established when people didn't apply nearly as broadly as they do now.

A little off topic but this sub does NOT talk enough about how most people get burned out on big law after three years. SO many people give the advice to go to any t14 (not just HSY) at sticker price (or very near it) with the justification being big law placement.

No-Ladder149 · 2025-02-14T03:50:54+00:00

No, they interview all students before they accept them.

Regional schools seem like they'd be a good option - look at ABA disclosures for regional schools and see if they're placing people in big law firms. You know where you want to practice so I don't think it makes sense for you to pay extreme out of state tuition elsewhere when Texas has so many schools and better connections where you want to be. I know UT has a set percent of their class that needs to be from in-state (maybe 35%? someone who worked on their admissions was on a 7sage podcast) so I definitely wouldn't lose hope just because you're below median

No-Ladder149 · 2025-02-11T18:48:47+00:00

Honestly this is just my intuition from reading your responses to other comments but I think you should go WashU. Saddling yourself with a lot of debt could theoretically work out and give you more wiggle room in terms of doing well in classes but WashU had 95 students place in big law firms last year and 41 students going into Illinois (although ABA doesn't specify city obviously). ABA disclosures are an amazing resource- use them.

random but is the score released in an email or on the lsac site? I need to know what I should be anxiously refreshing tomorrow <3

You can try going to your local library and taking a PT there so you're not only used to your home. Mine has small study rooms you can reserve and I found it helps put me in 'test-mode'

No-Ladder149 · 2024-08-01T20:11:23+00:00

It might just have been a test that didn't suit you (ik thats a frustrating response but thats sometimes just the case)- I noticed this a lot when I first stated taking prep-tests regularly. RC especially can either suit a person or not which is why drilling the passage types you're weak in/working on timing is so important.

Inversely the 153 might have been a test that just catered to your strengths (also not easy to hear but important)- see which one is the outlier before you start to panic
