House of Representatives

Read a random definition: archbishop

A quick definition of House of Representatives:

House of Representatives: The House of Representatives is a part of the U.S. Congress. It is made up of 435 people who are elected every two years. The number of people from each state is based on how many people live there. The House of Representatives is also the name for the lower house of some state governments.

A more thorough explanation:

The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the United States Congress. It is made up of 435 members who are elected every two years. The number of representatives each state has is based on its population.

For example, California has a larger population than Wyoming, so California has more representatives in the House of Representatives than Wyoming does.

The House of Representatives is responsible for creating and passing laws. They work together with the Senate, which is the upper chamber of Congress, to make decisions that affect the entire country.

Each member of the House of Representatives represents a specific district within their state. They are elected by the people who live in that district.

For example, if you live in California's 12th congressional district, you would vote for the person who will represent that district in the House of Representatives.

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!
