... that UNLV is sending out the last batch of letters this week. Thanks Sinister. I'll definitely assess my options. I quite a few people at Metro and I have considered it as a career option.
Why are you applying to just one school? It's not too late you might be able to get another couple apps out if you wanted to. I applied to a couple schools last week and am complete already at one of them! Just an idea.
i hope it works out at unlv with you
Good luck to you.
Hi - It mostly came down to a quality of life issue. It's going to be a brutal few years and I was not convinced that commuting everyday back and forth to the city was for me. I live on Long Island so my commute would be an hour and a half round trip. That's an hour and half I could be studying EACH day. Plus, the cost of the school is up there. I can't really fault them because that's the going rate for a law school education in NYC. COL is out of control there. Always has been, always will be. Anyway, enough about me. I wish you the best of luck in the future with UNLV.

I think you might have a chance to get in this year. Every year, the pool of applicants changes. Secondly, UNLV favors residents. Thirdly, you applied for part-time, so hopefully for you that will make a difference. I wish you luck. My first LSAT score was a 148. I did retake it and got a 151, but still. I think you have a chance. And the MBA program at UNLV is a good option for you, if you didn't start there already. I took a joint Management Undergraduate and Graduate Pooled Course and it was great. I also know a couple of professors in the MBA program. So if for some reason you don't get in this semester, the MBA program is a great alternative option. I am a very verbal and open-minded person, which is why I have shared what I did. Honesty is always the best policy anyway. The people who refuse to realize that I was simply expressing an opinion and offering insight are probably people hiding other information or lying about certain things in their profile. That being said, good luck with UNLV. We probably won't hear until April, but who knows. I love Vegas, and it would be great to go back there and have a fresh start. Yes, UNLV has a curve, too. But it's nowhere near as bad as the on at Kent and they have a wonderful community service program.
Yeah, I still haven't
Boy, don't you just love when computers do their own thing? LOL!!! Anyway, I still haven't received any letter from UNLV. Perhaps I'll get one today, but I was going to call them today. I guess I won't bother now. I have larger issues. So who knows what's really going on with that. My health has been so poor, I have had other things I've had to worry about. But..let's just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

Yeah, I was waitlisted. Not exactly thrilled with that. Good luck in your mailbox!
Stage, Sorry you didn't get in for PT this year. Since you didn't even get in for PT, I'm a sure rejection for FT. My first score was the same as yours and even if they used my second score, I don't think it matters. I doubt a 151 is good enough for the FT program. I think I'm going to be like you and just attempt to re-take the test in the Fall. Spend the money on some stupid a$$ prep course and see if it does anything for me. It's been over 2 years since I took that stupid test for the second time, so perhaps three times will be a charm on the test, since 3 times does not seem to be a charm on the cycle. Speaking of Kaplan, I took their free practice tests twice. They are pretty good. My scores pretty much mirrored my LSAT score. 149 and 151 were my practice exams and my regular scores were 148 and 151. So I'm not in the least bit surprised about that. But they are so damn expensive. Oh well. If I don't get in this year, I'm not going to have a choice. I'll take another year or two off and re-apply next cycle after a prep course of some kind. Are you only going to apply to UNLV next year as well? Or will you try for somewhere else?
Thanks man. I just look good on paper, don't know a damned thing about the law. If you don't get in to the law school you want, consider commissioning in the army. They are starving for 2nd leutenants, METRO is hiring heavily as well.
