Recommendations / Letter of Rec. pickle...
« on: June 19, 2009, 11:54:17 AM »
Hi All-
My degree is in English Literature, so two of my letters of rec. will be from Profs in that department. I need one more, and was thinking of my biology TA. Science is NOT my strong subject, but I worked really hard for a 3.0 in the class. She knows me well and liked me, so I was wondering if she would be a good choice for my third. I thought maybe her reflection on my hard work would add an element outside of the liberal arts.

Btw, the rest of my science grades are mediocre (at best).

Suggestions?

Where should I go next fall? / Chicago-Kent PT?

Hi All-
Just curious of what you all have to say about the Chicago-Kent part time program. From what i've read, it's easier to get into and still a good program.

If it helps, stats are 2.4 UGPA (all calculated out by law school standard) and LSAT 171.
As for my sickly low UGPA, I plan on writing an addendum to explain (i've battled cancer, hope that suffices in their eyes).

Any info or opinions would be helpful :)

Law School Applications / Transcript Question from a n00b,
« on: June 18, 2009, 03:07:43 PM »
Hi All,
I've taken classes at 2 universities and 1 community college, and I'm wondering if I need to contact each of them to have those grades recorded to the official LSAT site (can't think of the name right now, mentally dying in the office). Or does my home university transcript say it all?

Law School Applications / Not sure where to apply :/
« on: June 18, 2009, 11:27:22 AM »
Hi All-
I'm brand new here, so if my thread has been discussed before I apologize!

To make a long story short...
I graduated from Wayne State University (in Michigan) and my UGPA is sh*t. This is not due to neglecting class, but due to the fact I was battling depression due to having cancer. I'm lucky to be in the clear now, but still dealing with my 2.5 UGPA (and that's not factoring in my W's and a few fails). Yes, I should have taken medical leave and whatnot, but it is what it is now.

I have taken the LSAT, and scored a 171. I want to stay within Michigan, but I guess I'm scared my only choice will be Cooley. I've read all the "don't go to a school you don't want to graduate from" posts, and a few of the success stories of their transfers.

I guess I'm just looking for any type of advice? Thanks in advance... :)
