Hi - it's MoLaw from the lawstudentparadise forums. Again, congrats on your awesome stats. Why aren't you applying to Stanford of UofMich?

Thank you! Well, to be honest I want to stay on the East coast (aside from the slight possibility of Cbicago). I am not interested in going to Cali, so Stanford is out. Never really considered UofMich... ? I don't know!

I used Kaplan books but I wouldn't recommend those to anyone. I'd never heard of the Powerscore Bibles but apparently most test takers swear by those. I started off high w/o ever seeing the LSAT (164) so... I just prepped for about a month, probably a total of 50 hours, maybe a little bit more.

Well, there are a number of possible reasons -- first, rankings. BU is #22 and BC is #27. Second, I've heard BC is a bit conservative and I'm really not looking to go somewhere like that. I think I have a pretty good chance at BU so why bother with BC, especially since I do not think they provided me a fee waiver.

Aside from what I already told you, I don't know. The conservative factor kind of weighs in big with me, though. In researching certain aspects of school life, I found more that I liked at BU (and Harvard, and even Northeastern) than at BC. It's just a personal decision.

Awesome numbers!!! Show us a sweep!! Your EC sounds great too. :)

Thanks stradgirl, I'd probably do anything for that to happen.. but I am doubting it. Good luck on the Dec LSAT!! :)

You know, I honestly had no idea that BC was so conservative either. I only just found that out -- and it now makes much more sense how Elisabeth Hasselbeck (Survivor, The View) is an uber-conservative having gone to BC.

I agree that it's rather button-down there, but I wouldn't call it conservative as in right-wing evangelical Republican conservative, necessarily. John Kerry also went there. And it places better around Boston, fwiw. If it were solely about where to spend three years though, I would almost certainly prefer the more diverse/less "culture of privilege" oriented BU.

I try not to think about Yale, or to think I will be rejected so that at least it won't be a surprise when it comes! Well, I don't know about a panic attack but if so, it's one I won't mind having...

cjs- Yeah, I can honestly say I know very very little about BC and BU aside from the things mentioned so far. I know nothing about job placement, etc. But as far as spending three years somewhere, I'm with you. Although I know I won't be at either of those places, FWIW. Should I withdraw my app from BU?

hey what was the process and how long did you study for the lsat? how do you get fee waivers? thanks

What kind of UG did you go to? Do you have any idea why you got deferred at C and C? What did you write your PS about?

hey great numbers and great acceptances. how did you study for the lsat and for how long? any advice for the lsat or the application process? thanks.
