I am really bummed! Just got my LSAT scores yesterday. I actually studied for over two months... I do not think I will retake the test....

I know what you mean about the LSAT. It wasn't exactly my favorite test either. I took it 3 times. The first time I canceled my score, the second time I got a 142 and the third I got a 145. The third time I took a month off work and drove over a thousand miles away to take a Test Prep class. The class was immensely helpful... I was hoping for a minimum of a 150 on test day, but I guess my nerves (or tiredness) kicked in at the last minute and so I ended up with a 145. 3 times is definitely enough for me... I want to get on with my life and start law school and a career!

Best of luck to you, you have a lot going for you! I know that law schools will look really highly on your work experience.

Thank you for your message and support! Wow, you have a phenomenal background. I'm currently working on refugee issues and what you've done thus far is amazing!! All that work experience is definitely a great asset for law school. Stay positive and strong, and don't worry about the negative things that people might say. When you want something really bad in life, you have to keep going at it. I'll be tracking your progress and wish you the best of luck in this cycle! We're going to make this happen! :)

Hey there, I heard back from St. Thomas today, but on my profile I put 1/16 because that was the date of the letter that they sent to me. Best of luck to you, also! Do you know anything about St. Thomas's conditional program, how hard it is to pass and how many students are competing in the class?

On their conditional letter it says that the top 20 % of the class is admitted. But it doesn't say how many students are in the class... I think that makes a big difference, too.

funny you ask...I JUST received their decision about an hour ago...and and see you did too...Congrats!!

Talk about same boat. I feel you. I crammed the LSAT and got 155 from 145. it is doable. If you don't get into another school and have time to just cram the AAMPLE i say do it. I hear it si like boot camp but it counts for some prereq class and it gives you one up in year one as they are real classes.

I just got accepted to AAMPLE too, have you heard anything about it yet? It's my best chance yet I think, but I'm not sure how to come up with the money.

I got into AAMPLE. I probably will not do it unless it is my LAST resort. I am moving out of FL in 2 weeks to NC and I have been living in FL my whole life. I am ready for something new! Good Luck!!

I have not heard from nova. do you know how i get on to the status checksr???

I received a letter saying that my application has been put on hold. I don't expect anything from them soon, so i decided to withdraw. Considering i got into U of Maine, which is a higher tier, better reputation, and much more affordable(adding in the cost of living). Good Luck to you in the rest of the cycle. God Bless.

I also got accepted into the AAMPLE program. I am probably going to do it since my only other option was FIU.

Hey, I was just surfing this site and I ran across your profile. Your numbers look a lot like mine. Have you ever considered a Cal Accredited Law School. I am just about to finish my first year at the Monterey College of Law and have enjoyed my experience. Monterey College of Law reviews your whole resume and not just the numbers. Some great perks are we are on the Beach, the tuition is less than 50K for your entire attendance, our professors are practicing attorneys, and many student are returning to grad school after working or starting a family. My campus focuses on helping the student not just learn the law but how to prepare for Bar. If you have any questions just shoot me an email. Good Luck, Wendy

Hi. Are you participating in Nova's AAMPLE program? I am taking the classes online b/c i live in Indiana. I am just trying to meet others who are doing the same. Good luck to you.
