Fall admissions cycle Sunday, July 27th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Anyone else looking at applying to simillar schools this fall?
Fav law schools Thursday, September 11th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
Really hoping for Franklin Pierce and/or Northeastern.. top picks for me:D .. Northeastern is going to be a reach, but we'll see how it goes!
Fall Admissions Cycle Monday, September 15th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Good luck to you as well! I'm going to take the LSAT again, have been scoring upper 150's.
I own a house here in South Florida, which is why I'm staying down here. Also love it here, Fort Lauderdale / Miami is very progressive you know...

I'm putting you on my watchlist. I identify as a lesbian and I would also be interested in finding out how much weight is put on that in the admissions process...so if you find anything out let me know and I shall do the same! Similarly, I'm from Mississippi and am hoping to escape to a more progressive area but am faced with the dilemma of spending $100,000 more as a consequence (yikes!!) Anyways, good luck!

Ideally the Northeast or Chicago. I don't want to get too excited about anywhere until I get my LSAT but I would LOVE to go to Northeastern. I see you're taking it in Oct as well. Good luck! What's your top choice?

good idea..i took the kaplan course and would be lost without it
Saturday, September 20th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
i took the class room option and i would recommend it because there really isn't a substitute for live interaction and being able to ask questions and learn from other peoples' questions. my diagnostic was in the mid 150's and now i rarely score below 160 on my practice tests which makes a huge difference in admissions...who knows how that will translate on october 4th though haha
good luck! Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 at 1:53 am
hey, we're applying to a couple of the same schools. adding you to my watch list... best of luck to ya.. let me know the results :)
STCL Thursday, November 6th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Hello. Sorry for the slow response. STCL seems like a good school to me. Although, I haven't looked at very many. I live in Houston already, and I'm not able to relocate for law school. Good luck with your apps!

Good luck this cycle! You have a lot of good options, and hopefully (and eventually) plenty of offers..

Yes, it's a good feeling to know options exist in the first place :) I wish I knew if these people sent any sort of money offerings with them...my mom got them in the mail and called me about them. I didn't trust the mail system at my college to not lose them. I'm going home today so I'll let you know about NESL and scholarships :) Ready for that LSAT?
