Where should I go next fall? / Re: Any thoughts on University of Arkansas?« on: June 12, 2008, 10:51:38 AM »
Mommylawyer,
Sounds like an awesome experience and I appreciate your contribution but I am referring to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock :-) Thanks again though! 2

No, I am technically a Florida resident but living in Washington, DC for the summer as I am working for this partner as a consultant. UALR's out of state tuition is very cheap and I believe I can then qualify for in-state status for the 2nd and 3rd year. I have also been wait listed by Florida International University and accepted by Florida A&M University (not excited about that school). I am not a minority, just looking for cheap tuition. The reason why I am considering Arkansas over the other 2 schools in Florida is because everyone has heard of the University of Arkansas, regardless of it's ranking and what not.
I am planning to visit the school soon but airfare is crazy :-) 3

I am not worried about landing a job (how many students can say that I guess?) I have worked for the same partner at a Big Law firm here in Washington, DC for over 5 years, and she has pretty much guaranteed me a slot for the summers and when I graduate. The hiring committee here also loves me, as well as the executive partners.
I am truly in a fortunate position and that is why I am not sweating about T14 schools (not like I can get in anyway). I just want to go to a school that people have heard of, decent rep, NOT EXPENSIVE (hence, Arkansas) and enjoy the experience while learning as much as possible. Oh yeah, I did not apply to any schools here in the DC area because I just wanted to leave for a few years. I love the firm I work for but not too excited about this city. 4

Anyone know of any juicy info. at UALR? It's one of my wait lists and although it's T3 I like the school. DIRT CHEAP TOO.

General Board / Who Has the Best Constitutional Law Program to Later Teach???« on: June 02, 2008, 11:09:17 PM »
I would like to teach/consult con law someday and was wondering which schools, besides the obvious T-14 programs, might have a respectable program? Thank you.

Studying for the LSAT / Why the Heck Does This Keep Happening to me in the LR Section? Please someone!« on: May 17, 2008, 11:14:22 PM »
Hi All,
Ok, I have studied the LR Bible and LG Bible and found both to be pretty good. In fact, my scores have gone up about 13 points since using the books (from a 147 to now a 160). However, ONLY in the LR section, I cannot seem to get more than 18-20 right each time I take a practice run and get this, every question I get wrong, it's ALWAYS between 2 remaining answer choices and I ALWAYS pick the wrong one. I will give you an example: On PrepTest 50 (Septmeber 2006), Section 4, #4, I had it down to answer choices D and E, I selected D, and the correct answer choice was E. Same section, #8, I had it down to answer choices A and B, I selected A, and the correct answer choice was B. I am almost tempted to go with whatever answer choice that contradicts my initial instinct but of course this wouldn't be too smart. I am kicking-butt in the games (20-24 correct each time) and RC I am working on improving, but it's ok for now. This LR section is driving me nuts and I feel I can get a great score if I could just pick the right answer choices out of the 2 remaining. Some of these I've gone back and analyzed why I selected what I did and only on some of them I was able to figure it out. Have any of you experienced the same thing? ANY advice any of you could offer we be incredibly appreciated. Thank you very much. 9

What is the real difference between U. Arkansas (Fayetteville) and U. Arkansas (Little Rock)?

Studying for the LSAT / Why The Heck are the LR Questions So Hard?« on: May 07, 2008, 04:23:51 PM »
Ok, I know the LR Section is half the test, but for some reason, I am having problems pinpointing the assumptions. Especially in the Weaken section. Anyone have any advice? Should I just shoot myself now? ;-)
I kick butt in the games section and have been getting almost the entire section correct (at most, 2-3 wrong for the whole section) on practice runs. It has REALLY been frustrating. I am using the LR Bible and it's not as informative, in my own opinion, as the LG Bible. Any tips/advice would be SOOOOO APPRECIATED! |
