deposit due (and submitted) last Wed

was a gnarly turnaround and couple days for Jupiter

im glad u got in though

u missed some seismic breakdowns

despite the timeline being SHITE

yeah me too. they lowballed me on scholly but there is a nice long list of reasons why it made the most sense for me

A WIN FOR JUPITERMOONS

number 1 reason — South Bend had a Trader Joe’s bless tf up

nd alumni system is insane

like they will hook u up

that’s actually number one reason lol. that with the national reach for job markets… yuh

@badhorrormovie not that i’m any more informed, but this next cycle, if u need any advice or anything, my reddit is pretty much the same here (add 0108 at da end) and i will always offer a helping hand

first gen af over here and we gots to help each other

@badhorrormovie you scored 163 without studying at all? you're gonna KILL IT next time around

@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan this is what i'm saying

how do y'all think next cycle will be? less competitive or more

Registration for the August test is WAY up. That could just be people trying to get ducks in a row so that they can apply earlier, dunno.

people think it will be more competitive. I think the LSAT registrations are astronomically high

https://report.lsac.org/TestTakers.aspx

I don't think there will be more people applying overall, but there will be more early, and those might be better applications.

I don't think that one metric is enough to make a good guess either way

Basically, I think that high August number is mostly leftovers from failed applicants this cycle.

I saw people posting about it on reddit but its not conclusive

There's literally only one metric available right now. 😂 Applications aren't even open yet.

I think, on the contrary, there may be more apps bc I've seen a large trend of retaking and reapplying for this next cycle bc this past cycle was so competitive

election bump is on the way out. if economy does okay, that also trends toward fewer higher-ed applications. guess we'll wait and see

I agree the August LSAT reg numbers are likely just rollover from previous year, may signify an overall trend or just an anomaly

im wondering if it's becoming trendier to apply early

could be. definitely the smarter option

i think everyone should wait until I take the lsat 🥺

is there a seperate page for decisions regarding transfer applicants?

I don't think that's a thing on here since typically that process is based on 1L grades rather than uGPA and LSAT

any asu updates

hey guys! taking the lsat in February; little antsy. Any advice?

you got a **** ton of time, best advice is to make the lsat your *****

**** that **** up

slow stroke the lsats pussy til it creams

@Auburnkid22 I liked LSAT Lab. I had poor direction in my study, and their stats helped me focus on what was most effective for the final stretch. I raised my score by 3 points in the one week I used the program. I aimed for a practice score 4 points higher than my target score and hit right on target.

I actually raised my practice score by 8 points in that week, but felt ooky the day of the test, so the final outcome was 3 points higher than starting practice that week. I didn't retest because I'm not trying to get into a high ranking school.

There's a structure to the questions that you have to get used to, and there a bunch of tells that narrow the answers a lot.

Just visited IIT (Kent), anyone know how they are with splitters re: scholarship

If you don’t apply early to your top choice this year you’re regarded

Also there’s no more “public interest” law, will cease to exist. That flame is getting snuffed out at long last.

public interest to personal injury

stfu im gonna be a public defender and be a cool leftist

I love public defenders but I could never do it personally

I do close work with a public defender and he wanted to get "f*** cops" on his knuckles

he's a G and lowk my fave coworker (he's in his 30s, married with a kid and bald)

he's just like me fr

any asu updates?

its like those tiktok videos, day 7 of asking asu to accept me, day 8..., day 9 LMAO

day 40 of asking gulc to accept me with a -4 lsat

i fully intend to work as general counsel to Emperor Palpatine through whichever V20 he hires

rcvd an interview invite for ASU last week

(for the online program)

acab in your 30s , horrible stuff

the reddit life,

hiiiii

Why does this website suck so much - I have been struggling for two days just to create an account lol

i fear the issue may be within

@DarkEagle87

best of luck

reading lsat content on here makes me so glad im not in that shithole part of my life anymore

@windyMagician Public Defender is not Public Interest.

@LawCarrot Nice to see you again @ABCCarrot.

@saintcamp 100%. The PI networks draining soc

Society of tax payer dollars to grift bullshit are finally dieing. Thank God

Public interest refers to broder societal liberal bullshit. Public Defenders actually do work to help society.

Wow, you are 100% right. I can't even generate a prompt for this one @Blockdaemon

@JustifiableAnanas what's wrong with account creation?

walking into my haircut appointment today with pics of clairo and sophie thatcher as the inspo

what da helly what are you doing here chatgpt

shouldn't you be off helping the state bar of cali write the exam???

Margaret thatcher

@badhorrormovie pray you have a gen z hair stylist lmfaoooo

is this clairo shade?

nah, not Clairo shade. hairstylist shade

if anyone here knows clairo pls introduce me, cause were gonna get married, she just doesn’t know it yet

@JupitersMoons i've been going to my stylist for years!!! she's like late 40s but she gets me fr

is this clairo shade

i used to take the train back to my hometown to get my haircut with her because 1) chicago prices and 2) she knows me fr

my last haircut was like october 2023

ur name is insane i love it

i have bangs and my hair grows so fawking fast so i gotta trim them every 4-5 weeks it's tough

@ASU11 thank you! good luck to you as well!

@badhorrormovie curtain bangs or bang bangs

get banged

@badhorrormovie i think that having a go-to stylist is more intimate than a loving romantic relationship

@TylerDurdenxTravisBicklexReader bang bangs

@JupitersMoons my relationship with my stylist has lasted longer than any relationship i've ever been in

that's my ride or die < 3

y'all i have been enrolled in Canvas courses

i'm so naive why did i let this happen to me again

< / 3

schoolwork < / 3

Oh my gosh i got waitlisted on to harverd

Hardverd*

nah saying that public defense isn't public interest is crazy

windy I'm convinced it had to be troll ragebait

Yeah I’m a pubic defender

I imagine with 100% success. That personality is a better deterrent than a chastity belt.

j/k ily but that was wide open

yale waitlist movement?

i know this girl who was admitted to michigan got off the yls waitlist about a month ago

The status check success is not looking functional, unless I am misunderstanding what that means, which is probable honestly

any asu updates

ethel cain yaoi’d too close to the sun

i gave up on ASU

LMAO

i think they gave up on us

do u think they will take anyone off the waitlist at this point

penn state just sending me a decision

girl i know it was no but DAMN it took forever

i know a girl who's a bottle girl while she studies for the lsat and honestly that sounds like the move

wtf happened to llama

idk i miss him

@badhorrormovie I was never cute enough to pull that off.

that part

@PoisedDevilishChicken i believe in u

and u too @windyMagician

i randomly thought of llama but since no user lookup i can't even find them

bad u can still creep. u just have to put it in the url

https://lsd.law/creep/llama

jupiter i hear y

HEART

just got a rando profile and a 144 10 years ago could get you into goo schools....wowie

GOOD

woah i cannot type today

dw baby i also am having a stroke. everyone remind me to not drink on weeknights. my fwickin back hurts

anyway i just saw that someone with better stats than me that applied before me and got their decision at the same time as me was waitlisted for ndls. feeling awko

u shouldn't feel awko!! u worked hard for ur spot

me versus imposter syndrome

@JupitersMoons They probably couldn't write as well or had terrible mission alignment.

Actually I have no idea what I'm talking about except what I have read.

I'm a splitter just trying to get into a local hybrid so I can eventually be one tiny thing that slows the world from destroying itself while also providing medical care to my elderly cat lol :(

@PoisedDevilishChicken

god damn it. i was doing so good

anyway -- probably. still. need to swallow the imposter syndrome and have an unfounded amt of confidence before next month. rahhhhhh

i'm sorry about your kitty :( what is it's name?

@JupitersMoons They know what they're doing and they picked you. Him's name is Beeper. He's 15 and he's got asthma and anxiety, and arthritis and kidney disease, and I don't deserve how great he is.

He has to get an inhaler twice a day and then get his face washed because the fluticasone is an irrititant, and when it's time, I just sit in the spot we do it and he jumps up by my side to get the inhaler and face washies. It is insanely cute.

humans don't deserve cats. they are too perfect for this world

i'm sorry about Mr. Beeper's health problems, but commendations to you for being such a good caregiver for him

@JupitersMoons Truly. I am fairly old, and they are my guiding reason for doing this.

Aww, thank you.

i'm literally inches away from adopting a cat for law school. apartment is pet friendly and a companion would be so nice

They're good study buddies.

is Beeper your only cat?

Yes, my other cat passed away not too long ago. Beeper is very solitary (read: he will try to eat smaller cats) so I thought I'd give him his final years in peace. The one that just passed had to get medication or care procedures 11 times a day, so I'm well-prepared for the dedication and organization required of law school haha

yeah you sound like you could tackle a JD/MD lol

I'll do anything for cats lol!

me too. My family's had two cats and there's very little I wouldn't do/have done for them

That places you among the ranks of the finest humans in existence.

My first cat I ever owned will literally forever hold the dearest place in my heart. She was going to come with me to college but passed away before and I still think about her once or twice a week, if not once a day.

to all the dog people, I also love dogs and have owned 3 dogs in my life, but cat love is so different and dare i say, better

im super allergic to cats

im allergic to basically all cats except my sisters, so I assume ive developed some sort of immunity to its specific dander

which bodes well for any future cat I get, although I do want a sphinx the most

best friends! there ar4e hypoallergenic cats!

you can gets cats that don't produce the chemical that humans are allergic to (or they produce less) or cats that shed less so the allergen is spread less

i'm mildly allergic but have no problems with specific cat breeds

girl idk i see a cat and im already dying

you would prob still have a reaction to hypo cats, but theoretically less of one?

anyway i'm sorry i hate animal allergies

mines not too bad but one time I catsat for someone and their cats fucked me up

@JupitersMoons I'm so sorry about your cat. You never do forget them. I love dogs also, but I can't give them a good life right now.

I used to be super allergic to cats, but I just kept hugging them and eventually my eyes stopped swelling shut lol. I think my body figured out it needed to drop the allergy or die

Not that I recommend this method to anyone. I was a kid and there was no stopping me.

I wear my cat scars as a badge of honor

my school's groupme having backpack/tote bag/roller bag discourse

oh me too I have gajillion. I have a few scabbed scratches from my mom's beloved monster (he probably needs a friend to beat up instead of me, but this relationship works for us rn)

wait what's the consensus windy i'm on the same fence lol

tote bag obv

tote bag is most stylish, backpack most functional, roller bag is legit crazy

Is there consensus? lol

I have a backpack I like already, but I'm not sure what the book carrying situation is now that we're living in the future

backpack

There are some stylish backpacks. I have the Fjallraven Raven

is anyone gonna do the CALI summer challenge or is that a ndls thing

Hmmm. I'm interested, but still not sure if I will bail on the school I'm in right now. Feel a little unethical taking their access.

what's that?

it's a prelaw prep course done by a "a non-profit consortium of law schools that creates online, interactive learning materials. Almost all law schools are members."

i started the jd advising course but it was too boring

lol

relatable

any asu updates?

i wish this whole process was finished and i knew where im going next year

yuuuuuuup

same

boys and girls and theys -- we're doing federal loans over private loans, right? someone help me tell my immigrant mom why

If you want to do public interest you need fed loans for PSLF

was just talking about that with my coworker who is also likely R&Ring, just wish we had an answer already!

Do you have a private loan option with a decent interest rate? If not, federal loans without a doubt, because why take out higher-interest loans that can't be forgiven under PSLF?

its fo pm somewhere

watching pride and prejudice and drinking a BIG glass of white wine

real sad boi hours

pride and prejudice is not a "lock in" movie brother

you are setting yourself up for failure

all of life is failure

Drinking a benson Boone flavor matcha labubu

It's so good

theres this matcha place in nyc i walked past that like has a line around the block constantly

you're drinking a what

my friend tried the benson boone crumbl cookie and flipped twice because of how much sugar there was

just had a second round for a research position yasss pls gimme that sweet sweet research role

i'll never eat those cookies. i want to live!

does one live more or less by depriving themselves of opportunities and experiences in the name of longevity?

I have found a lot of peace in seeking joy in what is simple and nourishing. It amplifies the power of things that are simply pleasurable, like cookies. It's not easy, though. Also, I'm old and have a lot of memories of great stuff to pull from when I'm eating the same vegetable pile for the third day in a row.

So I don't know. Maybe seeking enough experiences when you're young will help you do the boring stuff when it really matters because you're old and a poorly considered meal can screw you up for a week?

what if i no like and waste oney on man cookies?

Watch Perfect Days

@TylerDurdenxTravisBicklexReader I think I will! That sounds lovely.

After that watch Paterson, two of my favorite films

Whoaaaa, yessss. Are you a psychic?

love wim wenders

wings of desire was i think literally the first criterion i ever bought

one of, at least

perfect days excelelnt movie

it's about respect, structure. we will lose to third worldism

i have not seen perfect days but given wim wenders filmography i am very skeptical that he would make a movie about that!

it’s definitely not about that lol

its about contentment and finding joy in simple pleasures

When you're sober and avoid sugar (it does weird stuff to me) things like eating a cookie or having a strong cup of chamomile can be like psychedelic experiences

Just found out my *** LSAC GPA is 3.6

cumlative**

Chat am I cooked?

I wish there was a word for "sober" that conveyed that I don't have a problem, it all just makes me feel incredibly terrible

Looks from "Chance me" like it's possible with v high lsat

@LawRookieGuy nah bro black people are goated in the admissions process and you got a lot of WE

any asu updates?

Hi everyone! New here- was wondering if anyone knows how GPA's work for transfer students? My cumulative GPA at the school I went to freshman year was 3.94, and my cumulative GPA at the school I graduated from was 3.89 (they didn't factor the other school's grades in).

@TylerDurdenxTravisBicklexReader thanks bro gives me hope

@edvardmunch LSAC will report a cumulative GPA that includes all undergraduate work from all institutions

am i cooked with 2.25 and 176

nah this is the whole point

A country feels more egalitarian when people in low-status positions are the same kind of people that are in high-status positions.

It feels like everyone is in on the same project together and making a contribution.

it's a national project, built on respect. finding meaning in simple things, repetition. A cog is admirable

if you watch it and think youll know what it's about

yeah but the whole point of the interaction with his sister was that high status people are worse off than the low status people that kind find joy in the smallest of lifes pleasures

@TalentedReasonableIbex446 I hope you like St Louis

@saintcamp i think you can argue your point, but not that its warning of the dangers of third worldism, having respect for every cog in the machine is inherently a Maoist belief

I think Perfect Days and Paterson are very maoist in thought

And those themes are present in much of Wender’s and Jarmusch’s work

I am going to name my firstborn child New Order

law school license plates?

Wanted advice. About to take my 3rd and hopefully last LSAT this august and was wondering how many practice tests should I take a week rn? I am accommodated for ADHD so tests take a lot longer. I have taken 75% of modern PT's and used to take them about once a week.

id say no more than 3 a week, no less than 1. Consider doing a couple of 2 a days to train stamina. Also consider taking them in distracting environments ie while Trout Mask Replica or Death Grips is playing

Death Grips ftw

captain beefheart mentioned!

Whenever I see a profile with a sub 160 LSAT getting into multiple T14s I wonder if they're the most interesting/ hardworking person with a crazy backstory or if they just have a rich parent.

or their stats are fake

true

prob just trolling

I should study some more but I'm not in the right head space for it

Anyone know what would happen with my GPA once it's converted to LSAC. I have a 3.73 overall but i had 29 credits transfer from HS (IB credits - no grade just credits) I had 1 P/F class (only offered as P/F). My school also doesn't do A+ A is the highest. Im just confused on how it'll turn out for me GPA wise. Appreciate any helo!

the only way to know what will happen is to check your LSAC GPA

you can use a calculator but it's very time-consuming and allows quite large room for error

ap/ib doesn't factor into your gpa

also yeah just get your lsac gpa

reverse splitter here, (168 lsat 4.02 gpa KJD), what schools do i have a better than 50% at?

mmm that gpa is yummu

do u have any you want to attend? t-14's might be funky but i think you have a good chance at any outside of that

I think youd have a shot at some T30s, probably some good scholly offers at T50s

^^

saw a post on reddit that reminded me to not neglect the other section of the lsat (RC) so im doing an RC section rn. so far so good but im at work and had to take a break for a sec. i hope im doing well. my timing is good. I spent about 7 mins on the first passage

oh I know so many people who neglect RC for LR and eventually RC becomes their worst section by a pretty wide margin

don't be them

nvm yall i mightve beefed it

RC imo is easier it just takes longer. All the answers are in the passage, you don’t have to do as much inference/intepretation as LR

i beefed it

@TylerDurdenxTravisBicklexReader i def agree. i feel into the trap of being scared about how shitty i am at lr

yeah for RC you just gotta be confident. If you’re wishy washy about an answer choice just go back to the passage, the justification will always be there

I end up skimming the passage like 3 times

definitely

hello pwincesses

i'm on second round of interviews for a university research job

@StereotypedDidacticMongrel i think you could get into uiuc very easily with those stats

agree with tyler durden and nosy, check out t-30s and 40s, and emory and washu

and 20s ofc

any asu updates?

@ASU11 did you post on reddit lol

has anyone heard anything about SMU?

@JupitersMoons

Yea lmao

didnt get the full spivey pro bono but I got a free 1 hour consultation which is nice

do you think they read all my lsd messages and thats why

is there an WL movement for UWisconsin?

hey cuties

hey bad ;)

y'all got games on your phone

i got minecraf

i bought my first pair of nice headphones and i get the hype now guys

question about rc

actually no this is a skill issue

i hate science

When I got good headphones for the first time, I went back and listened to my favorite albums and there was SO MUCH STUFF that I never heard in them before. Like background riffs, texture. It was wild.

^this

@NosyBeagle

kms. anyway. what's the rc issue
