Additional info & updates

Partied away the first couple of years of school. Changed major into engineering as I knew I would still be likely to find employment despite the low GPA.

Upward trending GPA.

4 yrs WE on matriculation.

I am probably not applying to as many schools as someone with my terrible GPA should, but ultimately I am not 100% committed to attending school, so I am only planning to go if I manage to luck my way into the right schools/scholarships. I am gainfully employed as an engineer, but due to some recent opportunities at work I have fallen in love with becoming a lawyer. As such I figured taking the time to crush the LSAT and a few application fees are well worth the chance at pursuing something that I am actually much more passionate about than engineering.

12/2 - in via status checker at Georgia, definitely excited to start out with a win at a strong regional school....now here's hoping that they mail me some $$$

Hey there! We have similar stats :D (sub 3.0/over 170), so I'll be following your cycle closely. Good luck this year, hope that the schools show us splitters some love ^ ^

I'm curious about the UVA waitlist. Did they give you an idea about whether or not a spot will open up for you? Good luck!

I got the same generic WL email that you can find copied over at TLS that everyone else got over the past couple of days. I'm toying with the idea of switching to ED, as I understand you can do that even from the WL. Would like to hear something back one way or the other from NU first though. I think I have to be one of the last ED holds out there. I doubt I'll get in (maybe WL) but not hearing anything is depressing.

Looks like we get some similar results with our numbers. Are you leaning towards going to school or sticking with the job for now?

Advice?

Hey, So i am very curious about what you did to study for the LSAT? I was really high on so many thing EXCEPT the logic games and recieved only a 140 my first time around on a Practice LSAT EXAM a year or so ago. I had never seen it before so I am feeling slightly discouraged. Understanding that your method might not work for me I am curious what you did that might also help me out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated ! Thank, Jared
