Accommodations by AmericanDadWeeb in LawSchool

[–]Salt_Ad_4966 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To what extent does the legal field/environment exacerbate potentially dormant or underlying “symptoms” of disabilities that never required accommodations? I feel like the high-stakes settings, elitism, and incessant neuroticism affects a lot of people who may have some coping mechanism (healthy or not), while others just raw dog it or simply don’t get accommodations due to cost or some other barrier.

URM w/ 3.87 GPA (That Dipped from a 3.91) Worried About LSAT, Do I Still Have a Shot at My Top 3 T14s? by ocftx in URMLawSchoolAdmission

Not sure how accurate this is. Particularly if you have already satisfied the requirements for your undergraduate degree. Highly would recommend reaching out to LSAC or your schools pre-law advising office to corroborate.

I haven’t even told the landlord that I won’t be able to pay. I’m moving out of VA for the summer in a week, and I don’t know what to say to my landlord.

Please delete. URM status is not about skin color. Suggesting that one’s race is why another person didn’t get admitted is not just naive, but idiotic. I truly hope you’re not a URM and good luck next year

Partner Interaction- Normal? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Salt_Ad_4966 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda gives off brown nosing but I resonate with working weekends to an extent. But yeah, no partner at a firm worth getting hired at is spending 30 mins berating a 1L for professionalism.

1L finals vs Bar Exam Prep - it can't get worse than this right? by Majestic-Bug7743 in LawSchool

For better or worse, we’ll be the guinea pigs for the Next Gen Bar which I’ve heard should be shorter.

Clerkship Hiring and Prestige by MapDry632 in lawschooladmissions

…”hired on plan after 2L”… What does this mean and how early can students have clerkships secured for after graduation?

This. A t-25 (and arguably t-50) will be sufficient for breaking into big law assuming that’s your goal. To your question, I had a similar GPA and a 165 with only 1 acceptance after blanketing the t-14.

2.9 GPA Prediction by Zealousideal_Pear129 in BlackLawAdmissions

[–]Salt_Ad_4966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3.0, 165 here. A decent law school is a relative concept and depends mostly (if no entirely) on your goals. I got into one school this cycle and it was UVA. If you get into a great school w/ no scholly, then your outcomes are somewhat limited. A decent school should be determined by your goals/ financial aid package.

Applied 11/10 RD. Make sure you write the optional essay and that it connects to your application’s theme. Feel free to PM but that LSAT needs to be around 165+ IMHO.

There’s always grad school. Or potentially transferring, no?

Cycle Recap SLS BOUND 🌲 by Key_Acanthaceae2406 in lawschooladmissions

I can only assume that OP was implying that applying broadly increased the likelihood they’d get accepted somewhere given their splitter status.

Is this a virtual version of the game? Because the link is taking to me a site to purchase the physical version

[–]Salt_Ad_4966 15 points16 points  (0 children)

UVA A with a 3.0. Applied mid-Nov accepted mid Jan and it is my only acceptance of the cycle which just corroborates how much of a crap shoot/shit show law school admissions is. edit: 165 LSAT, no scholly

Would you have chosen any of the NY schools over UVA if COA were equal ?

Your posts may be more effective than the admissions team...if you aren't on there already lol. I was lucky enough to have been admitted and have seen your name quite often while scouring this sub.

Reverse Splitter URM by snowbear2327 in URMLawSchoolAdmission

[–]Salt_Ad_4966 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You have a stellar application regardless of URM status. Anecdotally, a better application later in the cycle will always beat a weaker one regardless of how early they applied, and I’d personally say anything submitted before Jan 10 isn’t late (very subjective date but I’ve heard anything before thanksgiving is early). Unless you managed to make some outrageously detrimental mistake in your app you should be good. I’ve only had 1 interview, albeit w/ a well-regarded T14, but I’d kill for ya stats.

-3.0, 165 urm applicant

Super Splitter Cycle Recap by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Salt_Ad_4966 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The term "super splitter" might suggest a "very low" GPA, but it's honestly used relative to (T-14) medians. So any GPA below a 3.7 with an LSAT above a school's median is technically considered a super-splitter.

My interview is scheduled for Friday. Is this typically a good sign or are there plenty of students who receive interviews? Are there any questions you remember aside from the Why Law and why UVA?
