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

@UnrulyLoosePorcupine: same, if I got in off the waitlist that’s the only school that’d be an easy move, being in state

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

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?”

@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?
