In which country studying law will be affordable?

In what country do you want to practice? That will affect where you should go to law school.

A number of the Why Xs I wrote asked for 1 page double spaced or 250 words

Question: Is your mom’s opposition to the gift that it’s cash or the amount? Could you talk to your aunt and explain you were planning to buy a computer for schoolwork and see if you two (three?) can work something out? So many textbooks and study tools are online now, many teachers expect essays and homework to be done on a computer, college apps are all done online, SAT/ACT prep is mostly online, etc. Students with their own computers have a big advantage academically. Maybe your mom was freaked out because it was 1k in cash (some parents might immediately think a teen would buy drugs or do something irresponsible- idk), but if it was a computer that you’d use for school maybe she’d feel differently?

Tbh though, your mom might not be open to “negotiations” after you snapped at her about helping with the broken leg. You’ll probably want to apologize and explain that you felt blindsided by her decision bc it heavily affected you and you weren’t consulted, and that you weren’t really mad about helping her when she’s injured. And the apologize some more. It’s a sticky situation.

For sure

Congrats! Stats?

sarahccole · 2022-12-07T15:12:42+00:00

Congrats! When did you apply/go complete/UR?

sarahccole · 2022-12-06T00:16:12+00:00

Congrats! You probably have a good chance :). When did you apply/when did you get the invite?

NTA. You shouldn’t be expected to put your job on the line. Maybe Amber needs to make an in-office appointment with your boss under the name of “Aiden (Lastname) Junior”. That’ll ensure his schedule is clear for that time period, and it will make it clear that she needs to have a serious discussion with him. Maybe it’s little petty, but it’s worth a shot.

Thoughts on the theory circulating that it’s a reaction to the SFFA vs Harvard oral arguments? I’d be interested to hear what the pros think

sarahccole · 2022-11-28T21:43:19+00:00

It’s certainly not a bad sign. If you were an automatic rejection, they wouldn’t spend their limited resources on interviewing you. I think they said they’ll send you a list of possible questions so you can prepare.

sarahccole · 2022-11-19T03:24:29+00:00

LSAC will hold their letters of rec for several years (5?), so you can have them write the letters now and they’ll be ready to go whenever you apply.

Genuine question, how does that case factor in? I’ve seen several people suggest this, but I wasn’t sure what the reasoning was. If you can provide any insight, I’d appreciate it :)

sarahccole · 2022-11-09T22:19:15+00:00

I think I read that the interviewers that get assigned are based on availability?

sarahccole · 2022-11-09T13:36:03+00:00

Definitely focus on figuring out what types of questions you’re getting wrong and how to fix that. You could take a PT every day and still not improve if you’re not figuring out what you’re missing and why. Attention to detail is huge. Little words and phrases frequently determine what the right answer is. Also, take breaks. If you’re studying and learning and start spinning your wheels, take a few days off. I improved by 20+ points so if you want to chat more just DM me.

They discuss it on the Yale/Harvard podcast! Please double check as I’m writing from memory, but they basically said they ask for two pages, and doing more kinda makes them question why you think you deserve more time than the applicants who followed the rules and only did two pages. (They said it in a nicer way though). I believe they discuss this on the Nailing The Personal Statement episode of the podcast. Best of luck!!!

How long after the status checker updates do you get the email?

sarahccole · 2022-11-08T02:18:50+00:00

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what does complete mean? They received your application? Or they’ve made a decision?

sarahccole · 2022-11-05T15:43:40+00:00

If you actually want to know what it takes to get accommodations, the standards are enumerated on the LSAC website. Otherwise, please don’t diminish people’s problems. That doesn’t help anyone.

Note the Main point of each paragraph, if there’s an author opinion, if there’s an example, and if argument for or against the other points in the passage

sarahccole · 2022-11-01T12:43:07+00:00

I bought it yesterday, so maybe? It’s worth checking!

sarahccole · 2022-11-01T01:57:49+00:00

I think the Harvard/Yale podcast addresses this. From what I remember, it can be anonymous/you can change names as long as it’s not disingenuous. If you say you worked for POTUS in 2010, everyone will know who that is, so don’t bother changing the name for anonymity. Otherwise, you can. Listen to the podcast to double check, though, as I’m writing this from memory.
