10/30- In review at Campbell

11/7- IUPUI called and requested a phone interview on the spot, about a 30 minute conversation about why IUPUI, "why do you want to be a lawyer", and "what happed on the LSAT"... She said thank you and hopes to speak soon...

11/10- Creighton status checker says "decision letter sent"... fingers crossed since this is long shot for me.

11/13- Received letter from Creighton Law. Small envelope with a pretty generic rejection in it.

11/14- In review at Vermont.

11/15- Rejected for Fall2018 @ Baylor via status checker, they did however offer me to apply for summer 2018...I'm sure everyone is offered this as well.

11/30- Un review at Ave Maria

12/12- Received email from Ave Maria, requesting me to schedule a phone interview. Status checker has a blank space for the current status. Email stated they look at all parts of the APP and for people who they are "unsure" of accepting they ask for an interview.

Hey Good Luck to you!!!

I know this isn't something you want to hear, but the LSAT is a learnable test. I would really, really, really advocate you find work for two years and study a few hours a week for the LSAT. I am more than happy to help get you started-- I got a 170 and studied on and off for two years. I'm also a test prep tutor. Right now you're going to be going hundreds of thousands in debt to attend a school with low employment rates. Drop a note in my mailbox if you'd ever like to talk about the test, no charge or obligation.

I suggest 7sage for LSAT prep

Check out 7sage.com. it's helping me immensely. Best of luck to you, I am retaking in Feb as well.

I'm gonna be the asshole here...
Friday, October 13 2017 at 03:01 PM

I seriously don't think you should be going to law school if you can't raise your LSAT above 150 or so...

Tuesday, September 19 2017 at 02:10 PM

@ vegasman23, Retaking in Feb. and pt's are averaging 151 so thanks for the advice and good luck to you!

Friday, January 12 2018 at 02:30 PM

did Nova say why they rejected you? I am in the process of applying. Have a 141 LSAT score and a 3.53 GPA. hoping to at least get AAMPLE from them

Nova
Tuesday, September 19 2017 at 02:10 PM

@Mandstein, they said that others had better numbers and applications. I know my downfall was the low LSAT and GPA. I am retaking the LSAT in February, NOVA did not want to wait for that score i guess... :/ oh well.

Friday, January 12 2018 at 02:30 PM

Hopefully my GPA and LOR's work in my favor since our LSAT score is same. Good luck on the test in Feb

Wednesday, December 27 2017 at 12:19 PM

Any update from St. Mary's?

St mary's
Tuesday, September 19 2017 at 02:10 PM

@stinnetta- No, still showing complete and under review.

Wednesday, December 27 2017 at 12:19 PM

My numbers look like yours and I am debating retaking the LSAT in Feb. Strenuous test to have to retake! Looking to apply at St. Mary's.. Keep me posted and good luck!

St Marys
Tuesday, September 19 2017 at 02:10 PM

@Stinnettaa- Yes tell me about it! I am retaking on the 10th of Feb. I am hoping to bring it up into the 150's but I will let you know If I hear anything from St Mary's! Good luck to you!

have you had any updates from IU?

IU
Tuesday, September 19 2017 at 02:10 PM

@wanderlust13- I am on hold until the feb lsat is released. I did however do an over the phone interview with them a few months back and they asked if I was interested in retaking the lsat but we will see. I should have updates at the end of the month or early in march.

Monday, February 13 2017 at 09:30 AM

i'm in the same boat as you as well. good luck to you!

Best of Luck
Wednesday, March 14 2018 at 10:49 PM

Question- so they waitlist you until you take the LSAT over again? then they give you an immediate decision? i am awaiting a decision as well and the anxiety is killing me.

yea
Tuesday, September 19 2017 at 02:10 PM

Not 100% sure how it works... I know scores are out and have been submitted to the schools. I have only heard from a few about decisions. I wrote a LOCI as well to Ave as well as filled out the form on their website.

Wednesday, November 06 2013 at 12:45 AM

Monday, July 16 2018 at 05:23 PM
