CoxlessPair, hahaha, too funny but true.

I am 32 and will either be 35 or 36 (depending if I do a part-time program or not).  If there is an age limit, does the military give waivers?

Also, I saw something on the Air Force's website about scholarships to those who go to law schools as "defined" by the government as historically black or Hispanic, regardless if you are a member of either.  Anyone know anything more about this?  Deadlines? Requirements?  Etc.?

Thanks again everyone.

damn missladytwine, good job!  you think 6 weeks is enough time to up a score by 15-20 points on the actual test?

A buddy of mine scored a 137 on his first practice test without any preparation.  He then studied his ass off for 6 weeks before the real LSAT and scored a 165...How's that for improvement???  I also scored a 147 myself on the real test and now reaching in the low 160s on practice tests.  I am taking again in June so we shall see.

This particular forum has been very supportive but other members of this site will tell you don't go to law school with such a low score.  If my friend and the others who have posted in this particular forum listened to those jack-asses, none of them would be in law school as we speak.

You just have to retrain the way your mind process information and understand exactly what the test is asking.  Simply stated, but not so easy to achieve of course.  However, with time, patience and alot of persistence, you can do it just like the rest of us.

GOOD LUCK!

I am sure you already know this, but St. John's is in Jamaica, Queens, not Manhattan.  BIG difference between the two boroughs but it is close enough to hop on the LIRR or subway. 

The school has a great reputation in NY and the alumni is incredibly huge.  The only downfall is that you're competing with NYU, Cornell, Columbia, Fordham and some would say even Brooklyn.  If Chicago-Kent is offering lots of $$$, that might make things interesting, but otherwise, I would choose St. John's.

It is true, I work for a Big Law firm here in DC and they even told me that if I can get into a top 25, or maybe even a top 50, I would be guaranteed a job here (since the partner here loves me from working for her for over 5 years).  These people, even the partner whom I've worked for at this firm and another Big Law firm, realize that I know everything the attorneys I work for know.  They realize that I can pretty much run these transactional deals on my known if I could.  And yet, if I can't get into a Top 25 school, I can't get a job here.  How's that for USN&WR influence?  I am not so sure that would have been the case 20-25 years ago.
