A quick definition of federal agency:

A federal agency is a group of people who work for the government to carry out specific tasks or responsibilities. They are like helpers who act on behalf of the government and have the power to make decisions and take actions that affect people and businesses. Federal agencies can be created by law or by the president, and they have to follow rules and regulations set by the government.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A federal agency is a fiduciary relationship created by express or implied contract or by law, in which one party (the agent) may act on behalf of another party (the principal) and bind that other party by words or actions. It is an organization established by the federal government to carry out specific functions and services.

Examples: Examples of federal agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Explanation: These agencies are created by the federal government to carry out specific functions and services. For example, the EPA is responsible for protecting human health and the environment by enforcing regulations and laws related to air and water quality. The FBI is responsible for investigating federal crimes and threats to national security. The IRS is responsible for collecting taxes and enforcing tax laws. These agencies act on behalf of the federal government and are authorized to carry out their duties on its behalf.

i know its hard to know because I haven't taken LSAT yet, but Im going to graduate with a 3.4. Idk if id write an addendum for my gpa because i just slacked off for a lot of college unfortunately. Plan is to start studying for lsat in October, and then take a gap year to get WE. T14 isn't even on my radar, but from people who know and understand the admission process better probably, am i cooked at even getting into a T50. I know lsat score is huge but reading people get rejected while having 3.8+ is anxiety inducing
23:25
@Sagamore: you can do applicant search to get closer results but there are plenty of ppl with a 3.3-3
23:25
3.4 that got into t50s-t20s (sorry i pressed send early)
23:26
i would just focus on maximizing ur lsat score
we always talk about fo pm but never about fo am

Don’t know if I’m about to make things worse but hang in there! If you’re stressed out get to your nearest trampoline and start jumping! It’s better than therapy! Hopefully you’re under some stars!
