Law School Applications / Re: Schools asking about competitors -- "how many schools are you applying to?"« on: October 06, 2009, 11:15:39 PM »
I agree with being honest, but it allows you to NOT answer the question. Is it preferable to answer it?

LSAC and LSDAS / Re: Does your Undergrad College matter for GPA? How about upwards trends?« on: October 06, 2009, 07:09:47 PM »
college undergrad counts
and an upward trend is good, but some schools make sure that trend is not from easy courses (cornell said that) 53
LSAC and LSDAS / Re: QUESTION« on: October 06, 2009, 07:08:18 PM »
Courses are only differentiated by their weight in no. of credits, not whether they're major or non-major.
The LSDAS gpa is the weighted average of all your courses' gpa values (score-gpa chart available on lsac.org) 54

Law School Applications / US firms with offices worldwide« on: October 04, 2009, 12:29:23 AM »
If I want the opportunity to do big law with a US firm overseas (particularly Hong Kong, because it's my hometown), what schools would be best for such employment prospects? I believe a few years of local experience is usually needed, but working in HK for a US firm is one of my goals.
Would a t30 school do it? Does it have to be a "national" reputation school, instead of regional schools? What schools would have this reputation? T30? Tier 1? T14? Thanks! 56

Studying for the LSAT / Re: Sept. '09 LSAT DONE...FIRST POST!« on: October 01, 2009, 02:29:28 AM »
Did anyone else feel like they did, in general, better on the Sep2009 LSAT than on the other recent PTs (I did most PTs from PT47 onwards)?
I keep thinking I did well. Usually there are some tricky LRs and RCs that make me guess between two answer choices, but I didn't really come across this on test day. Which makes me feel like I did better on the actual test than PTs. But quite a few people are feeling the other way around, and this is making me feel very uneasy. Anyone else felt the same as I? 58
Law School Applications / Re: Graduate School Grades« on: October 01, 2009, 01:44:38 AM »
I don't mean to be harsh, but from what I know, a graduate degree will not mitigate a poor GPA.
For one, graduate GPAs tend to be inflated. Secondly, I base this opinion from what I've heard in other forums. 59

Law School Applications / Re: Another - WHERE CAN I GO?« on: October 01, 2009, 12:35:58 AM »
I think you are overshooting. You can try www.lawschoolnumbers.com to see the stats of admitted/waitlisted/rejected applicants.
Also a good tool: www.lawschoolpredictor.com. It calculates your "index" (basically a score computed from the LSAT and GPA), compares it with the indices of the 25th and 75th percentile applicant, and predicts your chances. Based on your numbers, loyola is a "weak consider", while cardozo is a "deny". |
