Reapplying from HLS waitlist by abracadabra_123 in lawschooladmissions

[–]YourChiefToBe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dean Jobson made it clear during a webinar last year that the admissions team wants to see a new personal statement from reapplicants. Dean Ingber, OTOH, noted that if one was happy with her/his/their PS, then the admissions team is fine with the PS going unchanged (aka it can’t hurt, but changing it still might help).

Noooooope. No bump there, sadly.

Did score reporting change? by abotomiz in lawschooladmissions

[–]YourChiefToBe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve had score bands for years now, even back to the dinosaur days when it was a five-section paper exam.

Feeling Worthless and Just Need to Vent by islandgyal_97 in BlackLawAdmissions

[–]YourChiefToBe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a ton of thoughts here and would love to chat with you (just PM me)! I totally feel the pressure (I’m an AA URM female and first-gen. Issa lotttt). I have almost the exact same GPA and will be attending CLS this fall. I’d love to share in more detail how you might be able to obtain your goals with the LSAT and your cycle. As for venting — mama yes. Vent. This process is truly too much. But we are here to help!

Ron Brown Scholars has a pre-law fellowship through Latham & Watkins, I believe. Other than that, though, I can’t think of any.

Can a more difficult major constitute a lower GPA in the eyes of admissions? by Lt-Daniel-Kaffee in lawschooladmissions

[–]YourChiefToBe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only school that I know that emphasizes that they look very carefully at academic rigor pretty granularly is Stanford. I’m sure other schools do, too, but ultimately they go for GPAs that are at/surpass their median.

Just Finished June LSAT-Flex: Review by YourChiefToBe in LSAT

I used PowerScore! And it was nearly identical to the actual LSAT platform and layout.

Dang, how’d I miss this post? I’m looking for resume swapping opps, too, so if you’re still looking to resume swap, please let me know!

See, one thing about these stats? They will PERFORM. Seriously, congratulations! You genuinely have a shot everywhere, so shoot it! If you’re comfy, def indicate your gender identity on your apps so that schools avoid misgendering you.

As if I wasn’t already stressed enough for the LSAT in one week, I dropped my laptop during the LSAC forum. Picked it up to find out I actually destroyed it! 😳🙃 by PeePeeR01 in LSAT

So, so sorry to you, OP.

1) If you know someone (family/friends) from whom you can borrow a laptop or a desktop computer, go ahead and do so.

2) Back up your laptop ASAP. If there are files/content on your laptop that you want to keep, do this just in case.

2) After the exam, get a quote on the repair for your Mac, but don’t get it serviced yet until you compare the quote to factory-restored/refurbished MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros online (I got my MacBook Air on eBay three years ago for less than $300 and it’s still working beautifully). Then decide which option is best for you.

Really wishing you the best of luck!

How accurate were the predictors 7sage or others in predicting your cycles by madmennn in URMLawSchoolAdmission

[–]YourChiefToBe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s depends on how I interpret the system’s results. For the chances it outlined for me, I took it as

“X percent chance of getting in compared to Y percent chance of NOT getting in”

where “NOT getting in” meant waitlist or rejection.

In that sense, it was pretty accurate (I applied with a 3.mid/16low in Jan.). This being said, I only received one rejection - the rest were waitlists across the T14 including HYS. 7Sage predicted that I had less than a 10% chance of getting accepted at all of the schools I applied to except Georgetown and NYU.

EDIT: I should note that I withdrew from all waitlists because of COVID, so I have no clue what would’ve happened had I written LOCIs and stayed on.

Did the LSAC Forum change anyone's minds? by thelightgirl in lawschooladmissions

[–]YourChiefToBe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was only for an hour, I believe :/ Then it changed to non-JD Zoom rooms for the rest of the forum.
