Law School Applications / Re: Will my GPA adendum help me ??? Unusual undergraduate situation.« on: February 06, 2006, 06:24:58 PM »Now, I know GPA adendums rarely help. But I think in my case, if I explain the situation it will significantly help. IMO you're wrong on both accounts. 92
Law School Applications / Re: Should I call??« on: February 01, 2006, 07:35:48 PM »
I would definitely call...there's a difference between calling cause you're annoying and impatient and calling because it's been months and you don't even know if they got your stuff.

Law School Applications / Re: rant about my undergraduate and how i feel screwed in admissions« on: February 01, 2006, 07:33:13 PM »but a lot of it is probably the advice i got here to come down much harder on the dept than i was doing. thanks to everyone!!! You're welcome...I felt like a jerk for calling you a battered wife, but I knew it might help stir you up and would pay off in the end.....although now that I think about it my apps are all late in the cycle too and I'm guessing that some of my reach schools are schools you'll get into....hmmm...that's no good

Law School Applications / Re: Anyone want to place bets on my acceptances/rejections?« on: February 01, 2006, 07:19:16 PM »
I would still apply in case you come to your senses before you make your decision.
LA = lots and lots and lots of traffic (I live here too) Yale = by far the best law school in the country 95

Studying for the LSAT / Re: Teaching at Kaplan vs. Teaching at Powerscore« on: February 01, 2006, 12:13:16 AM »
Powerscore, assuming you score a 172 or better....that's why I'm working at Kaplan

Studying for the LSAT / Re: do i have a chance...« on: February 01, 2006, 12:11:55 AM »
It's definitely possible to get in the 170s....you won't really be able to fully gauge where you're at imo until you take some more recent tests (ie last 2-3 years). Getting a tutor would definitely help you....I would suggest taking lots of pratice tests, and always taking a lot of time to go over the ones you got wrong, why you got 'em wrong....what you're thinking was and why it was flawed....and remember it (or log it like mentioned above), cause you'll almost certainly see a pattern.
0-2 wrong on games is really good....but unfortunately the other sections are harder to improve than games are. Also, the last few tests the curve has been a lot harder....if you're someone who consistently gets about the same raw score (ie 15 wrong) as opposed to the same scaled score (ie 160), then you'll almost certainly do worse at least you would have on oct 05 and dec 05, as those scales were much harder. That's what I did anyways  I was consistently missing 8 or so on each test....on most that was a 174, once I got a 177.....I felt really confident taking it (dec 05), and did my usual 8 wrong...but it was only good for a 170. That's why I say it's hard to gauge when you're taking tests that are from awhile back.G/L 98
Studying for the LSAT / Re: full length LSATs online« on: February 01, 2006, 12:04:06 AM »
You can access them from the testmasters site...but I forget the link....it's something like
http://www.testmasters180.com/LSAT/MONTH_YEAR.pdf that's not right, but it's something along those lines....they have like 5 years or more worth....no answer keys but you can find those on here and elsewhere on-line. 99
Law School Applications / Re: Title for Personal Statement?« on: January 31, 2006, 10:57:19 PM »
just put "Personal Statement" at the top so they can identify it easily...I wouldn't recommend titling it (based on info from adcomms themselves).

Last comment...I'm not trying to be mean....just trying to get you to realize the situation you're in so you'll do something about it, which will ultimately help you out (tough love, if you will). You're like a battered wife who sits there and complains to all her girlfriends (LSDers) about how much of a jerk her husband (your school) is for beating up on her day in and day out....yes the husband is a jerk, but she's just as much responsible for not leaving him (read: get really mad and make it happen). G/L....and I really do think that guy is a jerk and your school stinks....it's just that you have to make the best you can of a bad situation, and I don't think you're doing that right now. |
