Law School Admissions / If you haven't heard from W&L yet, likely reject?

« on: March 31, 2008, 01:51:06 PM »

Hello, I have somewhat competitive numbers for W&L, 3.45, 166, and I have yet to hear from them. I have been complete since October. I just saw on their website that all applications complete by January will be decided upon by April 2. Since I have not heard, I should expect a rejection or a waitlist, correct? Anybody else in the same boat as me?

For anybody with a knowledge of ATL, I just got into Emory & they are looking like my top pick at the moment. I am looking for a 1BR apartment near Emory for less than $1k a month. Where should I be looking? Is this a pipe dream? Thanks.

Personal Statements, Resumes, and Letters of Recommendation / Double Space an Addendum?

Should I double space my addendum? It is in a letter form, and you are not supposed to double space a letter. Thanks.

Personal Statements, Resumes, and Letters of Recommendation / Addendum Help Needed

« on: September 22, 2007, 07:25:49 PM »

Any tips on how to write an addendum and not sound like a whiny bit(h? I am having immense trouble writing my LSAT addendum. I have what I consider to be good reasons, but I fear the reasons may make me look immature or that I did not plan in advance.

CliffNotes:
-Got an Ok score the first, re-took the next test time, went up 11 pts, and I am retaking this Sep. The last test was over two years ago. Thanks

Studying for the LSAT / Timer hurting my score?

« on: September 21, 2007, 06:57:08 PM »

I think I may go watch-less on testday. I feel like the timer is causing me to worry about time. I have been using LSAT proctor for my last ten tests. I have had the following results...

Tests 1-7: Avg 166-67 (No Timer) Test 8-9: 162,164 (With Timer) 10: 166 (No Timer)

Would it be too risky to go timerless on test day? I seem to get through LR w/ only 2 remaining questions at the five minute mark. I usually am done with games at the 5-6 min mark. However, I only get done with reading on the 2 minute remaining mark.

I have been geeting about -0-1 on games, -7/8 on LR, -5/6 on Reading. My goal is to get reading down to -3/4 and LR to -5/6.

Law School Admissions / Addendum...or no ?

« on: August 31, 2007, 08:19:38 PM »

Quick question. Should I write an addendum for this scenario?

I took in June 05 and got a 152. It was well below my avg, and I retook w/ no added prep in Oct 05 w/ a 163. The only thing I can see as the cause for my low score is the drive to the test center. It was a 225+ mile roundtrip from where I was staying (I was taking summer courses). Should I write an addendum? I am retaking in Sep 07, and I hope to do better than my 163 (looking for 166+). THanks.
