letsseehowitgoesnow

any idea how fast law schools start admitting once they've done the first wave?

letsseehowitgoesnow

10:50

it can take time. they usually let in high lsat/GPA people first

letsseehowitgoesnow

10:50

then they'll start letting in others

letsseehowitgoesnow

10:50

from my understanding

okay. saw a uga wave yesterday but went UR 9/18 so trying to be patient

Look at their list and see if others who went UR 9/18 for in on that wave that have similar hard stats

ive heard BL in boston is very connections based with lots of boston people looking to stay in boston which makes it a teensy bit more competitive for outsiders

letsseehowitgoesnow

11:04

ughhhhhh

hello everyone

hi

AmusedRusticBeaver

11:17

is it possible to improve lsat score in 2 weeks

soapy

11:17

yes

soapy

11:18

you're going to want to do multiple practice tests each week, at least 2. every day, do some drilling (LSATDemon has a good free drillset). Blind review, then review what you got wrong

soapy

11:21

make sure to consistently take time to break from studying and have a little treat for after each practice full test

soapy

11:21

good luck!

AmusedRusticBeaver

11:21

can i use jan as my backup?

AmusedRusticBeaver

11:22

and thanks sm for the advice!

soapy

11:23

you def can! traditional advice from what i've heard is it's best to apply before December, though, if possible

AmusedRusticBeaver

11:24

do u know of anyone that has taken in jan and still got into law school?

soapy

11:25

def not unheard of!

soapy

11:27

you'd still be able to apply by February, so it's not impossible to get in, but I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to apply after the November test if it's okay enough, and then send an updated January score if later to the schools if you'd like? idk tho, you might wanna wait for the perspective of someone else too XD
