There is a journal at my school that focuses on the area of law where I want to practice. This journal isn't accredited, though. One of the main reasons I would edit a journal is to make myself more attractive to employers. Will editing an unaccredited journal help me, or not?

Pretty straightforward. I'm in Pro Res now and was giving thought to taking the MPRE in November. I'm hesitant to put it off till March, in part because I know I'll be busy with other things then and don't know how much I'll retain once I finish the class.

I was giving thought to taking the MPRE in November, but am concerned that by taking it with still a month left of class, that will leave me in a bind for material that we haven't covered yet in class that will be on the exam. Anyone have any thought on whether it's a good idea to take the exam in November or is it better to wait till March??

...if you're applying straight out of undergrad? Can they hurt you if you've been admitted somewhere? Can they help you if you've been waitlisted?

If a school, unprompted, has already sent a fee waiver, is it likely that they'll later send an acceptance letter, or is the correlation not markedly strong?

Schools in question are Columbia, Duke, UVA; stats are 3.91/170/24yo not-URM.

I have a question about going to another law school in my third year under "visiting" status...

I'm currently a 2L at Gonzaga and I'm thinking about applying to Washington University Law in St. Louis as a visiting student to be near friends/family in my third year.

What I want to know is what are my odds and if it is even worth trying to apply.

Washington Law is a Top 20 law school, so I understand that normal admittance to the school is not easy. However, I will only be there under "visiting" status if accepted, so my degree will still come from Gonzaga and should in no way affect their rankings/whatever. (I think.)

Does anyone know if law schools in general are more lenient on applicants for "visiting" status than they are for other types of applicants? (Transfer/Regular)

My only other concern is that my school is not very high in the rankings (#100), and I'm in the top 50 percent of my class, but not by much. But I know some law professors that will write me good recommendations if I ask them.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
