im working internship and studying lsat this summer so prob not

Turtles73002

21:43

was thinking winter classes/ delaying graduation for some extra classes tho potentially

manifestT14acceptances

21:43

is there any way you could get class credit for your internship

RightOneCaterpillar

21:43

GET A 4.0!!!!!!! WOOOO ROOTING FOR YOU

manifestT14acceptances

21:43

it would probably be ungraded anyways though which doesnt factor into a CAS gpa anyways nvm

Turtles73002

21:44

@RightOneCaterpillar: thx i really appreciate that. I just dont know if a 3.44 vs a 3.6 would make that much of a difference. really depressing that my freshman yr is potentially gonna kill the dream lol

RightOneCaterpillar

21:44

DREAMS DON'T DIE BUT THEY CAN CHANGE

babybunny

21:44

if you do some community college classes or something before you graduate you could boost ur gpa inexpensively

manifestT14acceptances

21:45

a strong addendum and displayed upward trend can do you good. also like idk how to say this but no ones life was ever ruined because they didnt go to a t14 lmao

babybunny

21:45

also you can make it into big law from outside the t14

RightOneCaterpillar

21:46

BUT YEA DONT GIVE UP!!!!!

is there any way to apply this cycle and submit my fall grades as i get them? want to apply as early as possible for the bump

manifestT14acceptances

21:49

thats usually the standard no? like you have to submit updated grades as they come in. idk i applied after graduating so

babybunny

21:51

you have better odds at higher ranked schools if you apply with your final (higher) GPA and some full-time work experience but if you’re not too picky then it’s fine

manifestT14acceptances

21:54

also be warned there is a school of thought that the early application bump is at least in part explained by correlation (as in people with good applications are likely to apply earlier). people usually say like "oh but it still helps to apply when there are more seats and money available" which is true but if they're going to hold onto your application until grades come in then you may as well spend that time working on writing good papers and generally enjoying undergrad

thx yall i appreciate it. guess ill see once i get the official lsat

[] ararara

21:58

Really nbd I think lsd is the #1 community 🫂

manifestT14acceptances

21:58

yeah piggybacking off of bunny if you just want BL then it might be worth applying this year but tbh if you really want t14 then it might be best to wait a little

21:58

Im so lucky the police haven’t come for me being parked this long at the airport idk how this is happening

manifestT14acceptances

21:59

i think youre more lucky they havent come for you while being on this site and driving /s

I just did my NYU wl Kira and omg can they please never watch that

manifestT14acceptances

22:19

one time i took a class on asl where we submitted videos for homework and i accidentally submitted a video for that class to a business management class' portal or something at like 3 am and i immediately sent a new assignment with the message "please please please don't look at the previous assignment"

manifestT14acceptances

22:20

i was less dramatic in my message but that's how i felt on the inside

do we think I can get away without putting a date or address at the top of a LOCI

jb2028

Yes, they already have that. It barely needs to be formatted as a letter

jb2028

Header: Name (left) Whatever the school calls a LOCI (center) LSAC number (right)

Or if you've done something slightly different with other essays, match that

("Barely needs to be formatted as a letter" = have some kind of intro s.t. you're "talking" to the dean/admissions committee, a line or two of boilerplate about your continued & strong interest, and then get to the substance)
