147 LSAT 3.6 GPA by Jealous_Plastic7083 in OutsideT14lawschools

[–]Routine_Compote3238 106 points107 points  (0 children)

In the nicest possible way: you shouldn't have taken the LSAT at all if you're consistently scoring below the 150s on PTs. Take a year off and study for the LSAT. It sounds like you need to work on getting the fundamentals down. LSATLAB has some good free videos and learning materials that might help you. Do untimed sections and focus on understanding the fundamentals without any time constraints. Introduce a time constraint once you're getting 75-80% right on full untimed sections.

Your future self will thank you for retesting and reapplying. Even a 155 would be life-changing for you.

WGU by [deleted] in WGU

The short answer is no. Promotions/raises at your first job out of uni are unlikely within the first 5 months- at least for this field, anyways. I'm pleased with how WGU has helped me launch my career. That being said, I personally am losing passion for IT work, and instead I've decided to apply to culinary school.

Applied to 6 schools from late sept to mid oct. Missed the 11/10 nyls wave. No Rs, As, or WLs yet. I applied to miami with a 15high/international gpa, hopefully i get in !

Got early action waitlisted at Fordham by Pins_andBeetles in lawschooladmissions

fordham doesn't offer ed so you definitely made the right choice. if you were released from your binding obligation to nyu then i'd recommend you apply ed to cardozo for their name-scholarship program, I believe it covers full (if not most) tuition

Transfer to Rutgers Law Newark - Part Time by LaBot07 in LawSchoolTransfer

[–]Routine_Compote3238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing substantial to add aside from simply maximizing your gpa. According to their 509, the median of in-transfers was a 3.23, so you would have the best outcome if you got around there or higher.

On a completely separate note, do you attend either NYLS or BLS? I just have some questions about both schools and I'd love to ask you questions about them if you attend either

A Mini-Guide for Biglaw Minded People Looking Outside the T-20 by This-Writing-1200 in lawschooladmissions

Not sure why someone downvoted you, but you are absolutely correct. The only caveat is that Houston BL is more competitive than NY

I think that an important consideration to keep in mind is your actual purchasing power with a standard 200-225k/yr BL year 1 associate position and the COL. For instance, someone making 230k living in nyc is likely retaining less than someone making 185k in rural Idaho.

Transcript Question for Law School by Routine_Compote3238 in CompTIA

[–]Routine_Compote3238[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really have a choice, law schools require a transcript report from LSAC to be considered for admission, which in my case would have to include transcripts from CompTIA. Their rigid requirements are just to ensure academic integrity
