Additional info & updates

Low LSDAS GPA is due to freshman year idiocy; I ended up getting kicked out of an Ivy-League institution. Twice. Yeah, it was dumb.

First LSAT: 169, October 2007.
Second LSAT: 180, September 2009.

LSAT prep? Before the first LSAT, nothing other than 2 full-length practice tests. Started teaching for Kaplan a few months after taking that first LSAT, and taught probably 20 classes before taking the LSAT again in 2009.

And no, the elusive 180 does not smooth over all application irregularities. I wrote a very strong PS, had reasonably strong LORs, and added the 180 to the mix... but see how that turned out in my list of schools I applied to. Ouch.
