Any word on Georgetown? Is it full?
SimonTWill
17:15
Georgetown isn't full, they said they would get back to some waitlisted people at the latest by the week of 6/12
SimonTWill
17:15
They let a few people in since they said that, but I would find it hard to believe that it is full already; their second deposit deadline is today, so well know more likely this week

Hey! so how does a law school look at transcript which has both undergraduate and graduate courses? I mean my degree is BALLB (BA-undergraduate and LLB- Law graduate) and so I was just wondering how will my GPA be calculated.
@SubstantialFertileNightingale: your lsac gpa will only be calculated using undergrad. dont worry about grad gpa, they dont care too much unless you failed

Anyone hear anything about SMU waitlist? They’ve been weirdly quiet
come one uga WL. so impatient
11:58
@Lilabeans12: nothing apart from confirmation that they received my LOCI
12:57
@UnrulyLoosePorcupine: same, if I got in off the waitlist that’s the only school that’d be an easy move, being in state
@Fatbear747: are you on the regular or priority WL?
16:58
So I was tutoring today and one of my students let it slip in what seemed like a very honest moment that they think I’m better at instructing the LSAT then the creator of the company I work for

Is it sad that this is the best moment of my life?

I feel like that blonde woman from Scarface who Tony’s in love with (he calls her a tiger 🐅!) when she’s at dinner, just stands up, raises her both her hands and says “I’ve got Freddy the pig as a friend, what kind of a life is that?”

Is the debt burden of a T14 at sticker that bad if you go BL?

@UnrulyLoosePorcupine: priority, lol. But I’ve seen their right line and they won’t take me with my LSAT
21:27
anyone else keep getting law school recruitment emails?
21:27
it's so annoying. I keep unsubscribing. There can't be this many law schools.
@ConspiracyLawyer: thanks but tell me one thing i each semester i have grad course mixed up with undergrad. So, if what you are is correct then they would essentially pull out undergrad courses from each and look at that only?
