Motivation

Going to law school is a life changing decision. It usually takes three years of your life and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Simply "becoming a lawyer" is not a guarantee to a happy ending.

It's imperative that applicants make thoughtful, well-informed decisions in this process. LSData was created to help applicants do so.

Law school itself showed us that the lack of helpful resources doesn’t get much better after you get into school. We expanded LSData to create a single place where people can find resources, gripe, and learn; before law school, in law school, and beyond.

Business

We make money from referral links, which are all accompanied by a disclosure.

We will never sell your data and will never preference products because we are getting paid for them. However, we need to make some money to keep this thing going and we figured we could either get paid for products you are using anyway, or ask for donations with a ton of banner ads (like wikipedia).

If you ever find a product cheaper somewhere else, please let us know immediately, and we will share that path with everyone else.

@crybaby2024: Yes that's smart! I would definitely recommend learning the language, too, to avoid any misinterpretation.

Are they SLS real?
seems pretty weird for them to be grouped like that and all private idk

Maybe they're updating before the weekend?

SLS class size is so tiny and yield so high probably best to ignore those when they’re all bunched up like that and private!

Also a good idea to ignore statistical outliers (even though I haven’t seen what their stats are!)!

If you interview with a dean after being WL how good are your odds of admission

Has anyone interviewed after being on the WL
ooooh which school

It is pretty good to be interviewed by dean if you are WL

I was just curious
why is yield % insightful to look at for a WL'ed applicant? sorry to interrupt everyones conversation
Ijustwannagetinman
22:51
It’s good for their ranking. And increasing yield is easier to do with WL stuff

Bc you can be more certain of an applicant’s genuine interest by their persistence
thank you!!
Question for the general chat. Sent an addendum to WashU today. Received an email that asked me whether I have deposited anywhere; if so, where; and how long I would like to remain on the waitlist. Does anyone have any idea why these questions would be asked, particularly the first two (I'm not confused about why the third would be asked). I don't have any problem with their asking these questions. I just found it unusual, since no other school I've spoken to since being waitlisted has done that.
I feel I must clarify that I know the probability of being admitted off the waitlist here (or anywhere else where I'm waitlisted) is low. Nonetheless, I am curious what you'll think the answers to my questions are. Gracias.
i definitely wouldnt 100% know, but if i had to guess I would say it's to gauge how likely you would be to accept an offer off the waitlist if it's given to you. like if you said you deposited at a higher ranked school and they have reason to think they wouldn't be able to offer you much in terms of scholarship they might try to pick someone else off the waitlist
or conversely if you said you hadn't deposited at a school or deposited somewhere significantly less prestigious they might think you are more likely to take an offer if it's given to you
I see. I could see that. Makes sense. Thanks.
