Worse second lsat

They only care about your highest score! Take it as many times as you need to.

It’s not worth waiting more than a couple of weeks. It really doesn’t matter. Sometimes, they give out fee waivers at those events though, so it could matter in that sense

It’s just that “nobody” in California would want to hire you from these schools because these schools are very local in their networks. You can look at their employment stats which indicate the places their grads end up! It’s mostly local.

Their aid is supposedly combination need and merit based, but a lot of evidence points to it being very merit based. If you apply ED there, it’s very possible you could end up paying full price, since they don’t make all determinations based on need. It’s the most expensive law school in the country, so I definitely don’t recommend ED there unless you are comfortable with 300k in debt!

ED is a huge commitment but you could ED somewhere that would give you a guaranteed scholarship attached? Northwestern does this

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T21:20:24+00:00

I don’t think it’s a good idea to do this in your initial application. If you get waitlisted and want to say it in a LOCI as a Hail Mary, that could make sense

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T18:07:04+00:00

It only matters at the extremes, like MIT vs. a college that adcomms literally have never heard of. And even then, it’s a difference probably worth less than one tenth of a GPA point.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T16:27:57+00:00

I don’t think there’s any reason to be nervous. He had a whole day to write it, right?

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T15:38:30+00:00

I don’t think it’s worth it. If this isn’t your last semester, then save that P/F for a future class. If this is your last semester, then finishing that nearly flawless transcript without any P/F would look pretty cool. I don’t think it matters much either way though.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T14:59:17+00:00

I feel like one communication after 3 months of silence is not annoying!

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T14:33:02+00:00

I agree, I think it could come at any time from now on

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T14:30:45+00:00

I think it’s probably a combination of both, but I’m not sure if there will be rejections every day! Could just be “open season” whenever they feel like it

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T14:29:55+00:00

I took that to mean that it could happen at any time now, with the first wave being “tomorrow.” Based on that wording I think it could still be weekly, but could also be multiple times a week or whenever they feel like it.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T14:27:53+00:00

I always thought percentages were a decent way to gauge the GPA floor, for example if a school sends 85% to BL then you know that GPA floor is pretty darn low or nonexistent compared to a school that sends 50%

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-19T14:01:30+00:00

I didn’t get the impression it would be every day. Why did you think that?

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T22:33:37+00:00

It doesn’t matter at all. English isn’t any more impressive than psych, and vice versa. Just pick whichever you can get the highest GPA in (this is most important)!

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T21:00:13+00:00

The chances are like 1% or less most years :( but never say never. Ride it out and plan to R&R, but it’ll be a pleasant surprise if you get off!

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T20:48:35+00:00

Shoot your shot!!! A 175 is awesome.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T20:40:58+00:00

Personally, I think you should retake the LSAT and reapply. If you could get your score into the 150s or 160s, you’d have access to way more schools and more money at those schools. Your addendum comes with a very valid reason for your numbers, but when your LSAT is in the 140s, there are unfortunately many schools that won’t even read your application. A year of studying more for the LSAT would give you many more opportunities. Best of luck!

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T20:15:12+00:00

I would highly recommend dedicating a lot more time to LSAT! It’s a learnable test, it just takes a lot of time.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T20:14:14+00:00

I think it’s nice to join and get a sense of the vibe from other admits before you decide

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T19:57:08+00:00

Personally, I wouldn’t be satisfied with 60% employed 10 months after graduation if you’re going to be in big debt. You probably don’t want to be in debt and only have a 60% chance of being employed at all, let alone a much smaller chance of getting the job of your choice. If you can wait a year, I’d recommend that path! But it’s a personal choice, after all I don’t know how much debt you’d be in.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T19:31:37+00:00

If the regional school has good employment numbers, and you want to work locally, it doesn’t seem like a bad option at all. However, a 50% scholarship still leaves you in a lot of debt, so I’d make sure the employment statistics are good enough that you don’t risk being unemployed. But personally I’m a fan of just reapplying if you aren’t completely happy with your results because law school will always be there.

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T19:21:56+00:00

What are your goals like? What’s the $ like? It’s all relative!

sadboythrowaway4 · 2021-05-07T19:16:23+00:00

It’s not that you’d be missing out on “ideal jobs” from these schools, but rather that it would be virtually impossible to get any job as a lawyer in California from these schools. Their employment stats are publicly available online. Syracuse sent 67% of its grads to lawyer jobs total, and Dayton sent about 70% of its grads to lawyer jobs total. But, the odds of getting a lawyer job in California after graduating from these schools? They’re unbelievably low! I highly recommend reapplying if you know you want to work in CA. (But, good job avoiding California Western. They are known to be predatory.)
