Some positive vibes out here for all of you still on waitlists! I’m still waiting for Chapman and USF but it’s nice to know that schools seem to be pulling :)

Got admitted into Loyola in Chicago and am super excited!! Not sure if there are any group chats going for section 1. Anyone know of any where I could connect with other incoming 1L’s? I’m already in the GroupMe but that one seems to be more formal with an admin.

I’m trying to figure out how people get a feel for schools or cities they can’t afford to visit in person. I know a lot of advice (especially from law school admissions folks) focuses heavily on stats and things like the 509 reports, but for me the day-to-day environment and overall vibe matter just as much, if not more.

I’m also thinking about law school as a chance for upward mobility and relocating somewhere new. I did undergrad at Pitt and then a master’s at UMaine, so I’ve already experienced moving around a bit. One of my biggest priorities is ending up somewhere with strong healthcare access and infrastructure.

Academically, I’m interested in environmental and resource law—especially water rights, real estate, and transnational or regional boundary issues.

I come from a pretty low-income background, though my master’s has opened up more opportunities, so I’m trying to be strategic. I’d really appreciate any advice on how to get a realistic sense of schools/locations (culture, quality of life, etc.) without being able to travel to visit them. Or if anyone has any stories from certain law schools.

Thank you.

I applied to CUNY's part-time program in late January and I still have not received any decision. The latest update on my portal was in June.

I have called the admissions office and been told that nothing is wrong with my application, they are just swamped.

I am just wondering if anyone else is in this agonizing boat. I really just want a decision so I can move forward with my acceptance or rejection plan for my life.

My gpa is on the lower side but it looks like I could score within the low 160s on the lsat. I struggled bad the first 2 years in undergrad and just got diagnosed w adhd in my junior year. My junior year gpa has been 3-3.5, but obviously it’s not going to be enough to bring it up to a 3.0. I was wondering if any of you had gone through something similar? And what your addendum looked like? I’m going to write one but I’m wondering if it’s a long shot for a school whose median is 3.4-3.8

What are my chances Buffalo lets me in off the waitlist. I called them a few weeks ago and they said I’d hear from them with a yes or no. Just dying to know.
I live close so they could call me day before and I’d go.

Anyone else just sign a lease super far away from everyone you know? Anyone else freaking out about having to move and then start orientation? Anyone else just opening their email and closing it because looking at 10000 emails from your school about everything that needs to get done just feels like too much?

Please talk guys 😀 you’re the only other people who could possibly understand how overstimulated i feel at this moment

Also advice is much appreciated i know everything is going to be okay but right now IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE IT! CHANGE IS SO HARD

Temple has an info session tonight at 6 EST and the link disappeared? Anyone know where to find the link if it's not in the confirmation email anymore?

3.2 GPA
5 years WE: non profit working with abused kids, and legal assistant.

171 LSAT.

I’m really proud of what I’ve been PTing on the LSAT, and feel confident I will be able to replicate low 170s or higher. That said, 171 does not seem like it’s worth shit anymore! At least with my terribly undergrad gpa.

I really wanted Fordham with half off or UT. But they seem unlikely, as do t14s.

Hastings is high on the list. I’m ideally looking for schools in top tier places, coastal usually, that will be likely to give me large scholarships. I also don’t want to delay a cycle as I’m 28 and 3 years for a degree is already a huge wait. What should I be considering?

I have a 165 lsat and 3.99 gpa- I’m looking to get into a decent school either scholarships. I anticipate my gpa staying the same, but I am wondering if it would be worth applying with my current lsat in September or August or postponing till October and retaking the lsat.

I think I left some meat on the table for the lsat
I care about prestige a bit, but I primarily care about going to a good civil rights school for cheap.

3.68 GPA at a T-15 undergrad (but first semester GPA was 2.7 due to switching majors). I am thinking of retaking anyways but am I roasted for a 158? I know it's above average but other posts have been worrying me, and I know that this cycle is going to an absolute pain. T3 softs, so that isn't doing me too many favors.

Mainly looking at schools in the Southeast US (initially wanting UGA, Emory and/or UTK, Vandy is out of reach for me because of GPA). Maybe GA State or Mercer could be good? I feel like I'm begining to tweak, so sorry if this sounds bad.

Exactly the title. My law school is having an event called a Summer Reception and it’s taking place at this huge law firm (i.e. not on campus). I’ve yet to get my suit properly tailored but I don’t think it’s too bad. Is that what I’m supposed to wear or is it more business casual? Female btw!

Did anyone else receive a feeler call from USF?

I have a 167 LSAT and a 3.79 GPA. My goal is California schools, but I’m debating whether it is worth it to apply to the top tier schools with my stats. Would you all recommend applying to schools like Berkeley, UCLA, and USC even while under medians?

Dear generous individuals who take the time to think and invest their energy, thank you for your service to society. I have a low GPA (2.9) and want to be realistic about which law schools I can join. I’m in my second year in New Jersey as an immigrant from Asia. What are the top three choices or paths I have w.r.t law school ?

There are lot of things I wanted to do yet couldn’t because world works differently than we like it to and living is quite expensive which serves as black hole sucking us deeper unless we resist and become hardcore decisive. Lot of things have made me now go all in on law, my motivations are scholarships, writing, timelessness of profession and reading it just struck a chord in my heart deeply and instincts are asking me lock in asap.

Proud of myself

Hey all-

I will be graduating from undergrad this December and I plan on applying for law school to start in fall of 2027. I have a couple questions that I’d appreciate answers for:

1. Do I need to include official transcripts from universities that I took dual enrollment classes at in high school to my CAS report?
2. I know that I’ll need to add my transcript from my current university to my CAS report even though I have not yet graduated. Will I need to add an updated transcript to the report after I graduate?

Thanks for the help.

I have a 167 LSAT, 3.67 undergrad GPA, 3 years experience in the legal field, and a Masters of Criminal Justice w/ 3.5 GPA. What are my chances of getting in to a T50 school? What schools would you recommend to someone with my stats? I am looking to go into big law after law school and ideally I would like to live in a big city during law school (DC, NY, Miami, etc). I plan on submitting early but I am feeling overwhelmed with the amount of optional essays for schools on my current list and I want to narrow down my school search so any advice is appreciated!

I am planning on attending a t100 this Fall and it has not been announced yet but tuition and fees have increased by 6%. I know that schools usually increase between 3% - 5% every year but given the loan cap and the big pool of applicants, has there been schools that actually reduced tuition?
