A quick definition of declaration:

A declaration is a statement that is official and important. It's like saying something very serious and everyone has to believe it. If someone lies in a declaration, they can get in big trouble for not telling the truth.

A more thorough explanation:

A declaration is a formal statement or announcement made by someone, such as an affidavit. It is an official proclamation that can have legal consequences. If the person making the declaration, also known as the declarant, lies in it, they may be charged with perjury.

A witness in court makes a declaration under oath about what they saw or heard.
A politician issues a declaration about their stance on a particular issue.
A company issues a declaration of bankruptcy, stating that they are unable to pay their debts.

These examples illustrate how a declaration can be used in different contexts. In each case, the declarant is making a formal statement that carries weight and can have legal or social consequences. It is important for the declarant to be truthful and accurate in their declaration, as lying can result in serious consequences.

Hey if I am on a bunch of waitlists am I screwed ?

@AlejandroAI405: Not for certain. You can get off the wait list, however it can be difficult. Would you consider reapplying next year or/and retaking the LSAT? You may drastically increase your choices/outcome(s)/and possibly get a scholarship

I genuinely do think being a reapplicant has some influence on a school’s perception of you, like we didn’t want this person before so why would we want them now? If you apply to only a couple schools your first cycle and then reapply with a higher LSAT and apply more broadly you will prob have good odds at the schools you didn’t apply to before

LMFAO why wait a year to go form UGA to chicago? You make the same biglaw salary lmfao you can get the same elite pi if you finish high, which you should if you are capable of getting chicago with a r and r. This means you advocate them not earning what they could over 4 years - 90k and study then 3 years of law or 3 years of law and then 260k salary? lmfao r and r only makes sense for FC

If someone applied with a 155 and can get a 170, a lot diff than a 168 hoping for a 172 and wasting a whole year for that

BUt if you want 171 r and r to get a 176+ for top FC at the top schools? okay. Everything else? Take your t25.

Scholarship dollars? Tuition + 90k income is the same or slightly less than the big law salary, but without a year of career progression.

It is not a smart move to r and r, long story short, despite what people who want you to pay for essay review and lsat tutor and lsat tutor service say

The other point I would make is that with medians rising your 3.92 GPA might be above median at your dream school one year and below the next

Both of you make valid points, but if you do not get off the W/L your only options are to R&R or just not pursue. So yea if it makes sense and you can go this year, it may be better than R&R in hopes of better prospects next yr. the devil you know is better than the angel you don't where devil is this cycle and angel is next cycel

i don't think reapplying is going to hurt you from a previously WL/denied school

badhorrormovie

13:35

just make sure you're coming with new things on your resume. maybe a higher lsat or some work experience. a school may not of wanted you this cycle, but if you come back with stronger stats, you're gonna be what they might be looking for.

overall, i'd say work on boosting your lsat though!!
