just got back my 175 LSAT score. sweet. that hopefully makes my 3.37 undergrad gpa look better.

hah i think i'd rather have that than my 169/3.7 =[

either way, still got some t14 acceptances...you applying this cycle?

also screw december's -11 curve, we got -9, fvck.

trying for '09 but its gonna be super shayd getting it done. hoping columbia/gtown

you gotta get your LSAC GPA to figure out your chances, send that sh|t in

December test was hard man.

Anyways I got my scores back too. This personal statement **** is hard though.

www.top-law-schools.com has been quite helpful, I suggest you check it out with regards to any part of the application process.

Yeah I've been posting and using that site. Great site.

I've written 3-4 drafts of my PS so far, and I just am not satisfied with it. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm prob just gunna send it as is.

Your PS will get scanned quickly for hints that you're a minority, Nobel prize winner, etc. Other than that, make sure it doesn't have any typos and don't worry about it.

This.

I'm the definition of a borderline candidate at some of the tier 1s, so I thought they may pay more attention to it. Am I wrong?

vague breakdown of importance in the application process:
LSAT: ~50%
LSAC GPA: ~40% (these 2 differ +/- 10% based on schools)
Softs (i.e. WE/PS/EC's/etc.): ~10%

I mean, you might as well make it as good as you can within reason. Even if you are in the very small percent where it makes a difference, something which you'll never really know, the payoff might be worth it for a few hours of work.

If you have any interest in having someone read over it and give some general comments or suggestions, send me a PM and I can give you my e-mail.

wow this is epic. isn't this really really hard to do?

i got a 170 on my first practice test and found reading comp/logical reasoning very doable but got reamed time-wise on the logic games. i barely even got to the fourth game. i dunno if i can ever get fast enough. 8.5 minutes per game seems like a cruel joke

could somebody explain what this means too? i'm assuming this is with regards to lsat scoring
