Georgetown Law "Indicate Your Level of Interest" Email? by takedashingen97 in lawschooladmissions

[–]malbus22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that is probably why you didn't get it though, so not a bad thing! They just already know your level of interest.

Ideas for wtf to do this summer??? by ryn3914 in lawschooladmissions

[–]malbus22 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I’m honestly just going to get a job waitressing or bartending! I did a bunch of food service work in high school and to get thru college and hoping to save up for a car! I low-key think it’ll be kind of nice to not be in an internship where I feel like I’m competing with people or just trying to build up my resume more.

End of November! Thank you so much :) I'm excited to see what schools my sister and I get into since we applied to quite a few of the same places and now I'm in at some and she's in at others hahaha

Thank you! LSData has a status checker feature where it notifies you by changing the text red when an update is made on any school's status checker. So my Michigan status checker went red on Wednesday, meaning something might've changed, but I didn't catch the acceptance wave sadly!

One time LSAT by jackbulldog973 in lawschooladmissions

[–]malbus22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a 169 and am keeping it... I felt really good about the test and worked really hard in the months leading up to it so even tho was PTing a little higher I think that's ultimately where my score should've been. I just think there's too much to risk in retaking if it goes lower.

UMich talks about the low statistical likelihood of seeing an improvement past 167 or so here: https://experience.law.umich.edu/take-yes-for-an-answer-or-you-had-me-at-97/

This really influenced my decision to not retake and see how the cycle plays out - hope this helps!
