synonymous... are you debt averse? Most of these schools seem a big reach for your stats. If admitted, expect to pay sticker based on my experience last cycle.

synonymous: put your stats in at lsatdemon.com/scholarships for hard data on costs of these schools if that's a factor...

I'm not concerned about debt. I feel as though Maryland to Oregon will be all low possibility for me but would be fantastic if I got in. American and lower are my safer schools

I had a 163 LSAT last cycle and now I have a 174 because I did not want $250K+ in debt. If you can afford it, go for it!

SynonymousLettuce

14:14

That's an amazing website. Thank you for that and congrats on 174!

SynonymousLettuce

14:15

I think so too. I know some of those will be a major reach but I am hoping maybe one of them accidentally stamps an approved on it

did you apply ED to any of the schools?

SynonymousLettuce

14:17

No I am currently waiting on one LOR that I am getting tomorrow then applying to everything probably EA

SynonymousLettuce

14:18

hastings is my 1 and they don't do ED

Is the gw status checker down for anyone else?

WarlikeYellowShepherd

14:28

nope

BajaBlastFreeze13

14:29

Oh man. Whenever I try to log in the screen is just completely blank! And it’s not like that for my other status checkers either rip

WarlikeYellowShepherd

14:32

odd, is it working when you check it here?

@SynonymousLettuce: i have pretty similar stats but i'm going for some scholarships in applications. If i get accepted any of my reach schools i would 100% pay sticker tho

Fifty2eighty

14:33

i applied pretty broadly tho, i'm taking the oct lsat and hoping to bump my score to apply to some more t50 schools with scholarship potential

Fifty2eighty

14:34

its hard to weigh job potential at a schoool i may pay sticker vs one in the 100 rank area that may have poor job potential, essentially i'm seeing it as a full ride scholarship is worth a $25k pay scale difference for the first 8ish years after graduation

Fifty2eighty

14:35

since thats about what it will cost to pay off the loans

@BajaBlastFreeze13: did you submit the GW identity statement? I'm curious how important it is and how it's different from last year. Last year I submitted the optional statement but it wasn't written exactly like this years so I'm curious if this is just a traditional diversity?

@Fifty2eighty: I am also targeting schools with good IP programs and riding my STEM major/minor pretty hard to hopefully give me an edge at those schools

@SynonymousLettuce: Oregon doesn't seem like a major reach. I know someone with same LSAT and 3.05 gpa who was accepted directly. Your LSAT score is good and you can do a gpa addendum if you feel like explaining it.

does anyone think i can get into uc hasitings with a 150 and 3.7

Jepierson14

Anyone know anything about IUPUI Law school?

CanadaGoose

@Coconuts: You should really retake with a 150. If nothing else, it'll be to get more scholarship consideration.
