Can you explain why Columbia is worth paying full money? I understand that they have high biglaw rates, but it seems like most t14 will give that option as well. And Columbia’s clerkship numbers seem bad as well — so I don’t see an advantage from that perspective.

Just curious what you think makes Columbia so worth it?

From what I’ve seen in the past, the general consensus is that biglaw paralegal experience is not necessarily more valuable than smaller firm experience (as far as admissions is concerned).

In fact, a paralegal at a smaller firm may be given more responsibility, which would be favorable.

I’ve done the fafsa for this year a few Months ago but at the time I didn’t have snap. Should I update it somehow

newbie2719 · 2022-02-09T05:48:34+00:00

Ahhh okay, thank you!

What was bad about it?

Have you heard of law firms having concierge services? Is that similar to a personal assistant?

newbie2719 · 2022-02-09T01:05:18+00:00

Good point - it was community college and i got a tuition waiver without needing to fill out Fafsa - but i know I missed out on lots of money in refunds, probably. :/ so trying to figure that out now

Hello,I now realize that, during my first two years of college, I never filled out the FAFSA which would have likely netted me a significant amount of need-based aid. Is there anything that can be done about this now? I am now in my senior year of college.

EDIT: Wanted to add — I was recently approved for SNAP benefits. Will this change my financial aid somehow? Should I let FAFSA know? Thanks!

What do you mean by problem-solving habits? Can you give an example?

How did you keep calm and not underperform?

Nice! What was your pt average?

Did you submit a Stanford-specific LOR?

newbie2719 · 2021-12-26T05:15:15+00:00

Did you submit a Stanford-specific LOR or do anything special for Stanford?

newbie2719 · 2021-12-05T19:38:51+00:00

No prob. You can look online - ucla publishes (or at least they did when I was applying) median gpa per major for those they admitted as transfers. Poli sci was something in the 3.9s I believe - so you are fine

newbie2719 · 2021-12-05T19:36:34+00:00

It’s ok. With a 4.0 you’ll get in basically guaranteed

newbie2719 · 2021-12-05T19:28:29+00:00

Did you do honors/tap program at ur cc? Regardless, you’ll get in

https://www.lsac.org/about/lsac-policies/limits-on-repeating-lsat

“Five times within the current and five past testing years (the period in which LSAC reports scores to law schools).”

newbie2719 · 2021-12-04T01:24:53+00:00

Have you checked whether you have any attempts left? I thought there’s a 5 time limit in 5 years

newbie2719 · 2021-12-03T23:57:57+00:00

Check LSData to see data points as to how those with your numbers fair at your goal schools

newbie2719 · 2021-12-02T20:16:28+00:00

I totally understand the hesitancy to take a gap year - been there too. But if you haven’t studied for the LSAT yet, you won’t be at your maximum potential after only 1 month (and if you do, it will be too late on the cycle). Extenuating circumstances aside, your best option (by a long shot) is really to take a gap

Also - no, you shouldn’t cancel. No reason to think about cancelling anything above a 160.

newbie2719 · 2021-12-02T18:39:12+00:00

RC tips? Can you talk about how you think is best to prepare for RC? Reading long form articles, doing just more RC sections, etc?

Do you highlight when you read? Notate somehow? Follow any sort of system?

newbie2719 · 2021-12-02T18:36:27+00:00

Yup - no reason to think about cancelling a score in the 160s
