The Official BLSD "What Are My Chances?/Where Should I Apply?" Thread

[A.]

The proper place for this is the chances thread...

But you should get into some of the mid-to-lower t14.  Target those, reach to CCN, and apply to some of the lower t20 as safeties.

[A.]

Probably not.  That's why I said "reach."

Advice needed.

My current transcript has me listed at 3.56, but my GPA went up this semester to 3.58.  I submitted most of my applications today, but I still need to send my report.  Should I send the report in now, or should I have my new report sent in before sending in my reports?

[A.]

Send it in now, then update.  .02 won't make much of a difference, if any.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I go about updating?  If I send in my law report, they send in my transcript.  Do I just send in my transcript to each school individually?

[A.]

I think they automatically send the school an update, but it's been some years since I investigated this.

I am a Native American (Blackfoot tribe). I have a 162 and a 167 LSAT score. I have a 3.17 GPA. I have a strong upward trend in my grades. I taught abroad on a volunteer-basis for a year. I worked as a paralegal for 3 months before getting laid off. I am now just taking time to apply to law school.

My diversity statement is on socioeconomic adversity and my personal statement is about my experience teaching abroad.

Thank you to everyone for their help.

You should get into a t14, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about Native American admissions trends to be any more specific than that.

Make sure to shoot an application to UM.

Why UM in particular?

If a school offers you a CRS based fee waiver, does that indicate higher chance of acceptance? Just curious
