You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.

For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.

LSAT isn’t horrible you just have to lock in really hard for 2 hours and expect to be exhausted the rest of the day mentally

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

NemoPropheta

late march is way too late

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.

Hello. To the gooners that have been on this site for 2+ years, you might remember me, or you might not. I was a high school freshman back then asking for advice (obvi pretty dumb at that age), and now I am a junior going to apply to colleges this summer. I had a few questions for the T14 law students here.

1. Does major matter in law school admissions? I want to go into corporate and/or IP law, so I'm thinking about majoring in Finance at some schools and Political Science at others, depending on which is stronger. I want a good job outlook in case I change my mind in the process, I'm pretty young after all. 2. To the T14 KJD admits: Give me your best advice. I want to get into T14 law schools, and similar to college admissions into undergrad, I wish I knew a lot of stuff earlier. What are some things you can tell me that can increase my chances of admission significantly?

3. How important is the undergrad program you go into? Will it help you in law school admissions and/or job placement and networking?

4. My most important question: Think back to when you were 17 (my age). If there was something you wish you knew then, what would it be? This can be anything. I don't have many people around me that go into law (everyone either goes into business or CS/engineering), so your advice is valued and highly-regarded by me.
