I'm new to the board

[caliborn]

Hello Hello. I wanted to introduce myself to the board. I am a black female and current non-traditional student at a DC private university. I hope to meet several black current college students and other prospective black students that can help me through the application process. I plan on applying for Fall 2011 admission cycle.

I wanted to add that I'm interested in finding a mentor that attends or attended a T14 school. Any suggestions on how to go about doing that would be greatly appreciated.

You're in DC...there are hundreds.  Are you involved in many organizations?

Begin studying for the LSAT now. Nothing you can do between now and your application cycle can improve your chances more than beasting the LSAT.

I've already taken the LSAT scored a measily 151 (w/ two weeks of study time ). I plan on taking a blueprint course this time and take the LSAT in September.

Welcome to the board. You've come to the right place.  Plenty of solid law students and law school survivors with good advice here.  Good luck.
