Extra Curricular Information

Nothing special

UPDATE: I never came back and updated this last year after I made my decision. So Im updating it now in case it might help anyone in 2006. I do not remember exactly when I heard from UNLV or Kansas City. It was at my old place, so it had to be before I moved into my new house in July. So I am guessing mid June.

Additional info & updates

Non-traditional, older student. GPA is low because I partied WAY too much the first time I went to college, getting a 1.7 and 1.5 GPA. Went back eight years later and graduated Summa Cum Laude w/ 100 credits over 3.75 GPA. Still I have a crappy composite score. Im dyslexic as well, so standardized tests are the kiss of death.

Second application cycle, last year I was 2/23 with 1 waitlist. Decided to apply to more part-time programs this year, and that strategy seemed to work much better.

During the year between applications I got a Masters of Law Studies degree (essentially an LLM, but they call it a MLS because I dont have the JD yet). Did well, and got 3 LORs from law school professors who taught me, think that helped my applications this time around as well.

where you are thinking about spending the next couple years of your life?

DU I think..

At this point Im almost positive Im going to stay here and get my JD. I know the school, professors, and lots of students so thats a real benefit. Now I just need to win the lottery to pay for it all.

Congrats!

I didn't do as well on the LSAT as I would've liked and am looking into the same part-time option as you. Did you apply part time to these schools or full time and then were given the option to go part time?

part-time
Saturday, July 30 2005 at 08:00 PM

which school doesn't let you change after the first year? Would you mind separating who does semester and who does the first year. I really like this as an option for me.

Would you be so kind as to tell me if you did anything to get picked off the waitlist at UMKC? I've been waitlisted, and they're my first choice. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Congrats on your acceptances by the way!

wow

You are living proof that the LSAT proves nothing about one's legal capabilities!
