im wondering what the limit is. 3.23 180 here? am i gonna get yield protect?

2.23 and great LOR, who did you get to write you a LOR from your school?

Well, at least parts of this flame were fairly amusing...

Not flame dingus. I love seeing comments from people without the life experience to know what is possible. The irritating part is that these types of people don't have the life experience to know they don't have life experience.

I got 2 professors and my advisor.

In order to make your flame more believable try it without saying fuck, and turn that 180 into a 176.

If this isn't a flame: definitely write a PS about your experiences, and an addendum about your GPA (why it is low).

If this is a flame: don't you have something better to do on a holiday?

but do you think the content of my ps is way too "out there" for admissions committees? i mean what wud u think of the person who this happened to? u would probably think bad things.

No I wouldn't think negatively about a person who went through those situations. I mean if you explained it well, and made it compelling, it could work. If you are uncomfortable about adding everything, then take out some of the details, like spending three nights in jail for something you didn't do, and leave in the things that truly had an impact on you, your mom's issues, your dad's apartment, ect. Or you could just focus on one of those things, but include both if they really impacted you.

Stop continuing this. It's happened before, it will happen again:

lol, thanks.

LOL

look its not flame. i edited the posts in the other thread. i will edit these posts too.

Why edit? and what would you edit for?

Will you edit them to "A flame, a pwn if you will" ?

EDIT: Also, your last thread was during Thanksgiving and you haven't posted since... Do you only concoct flames during holidays?

btw, GeePee, the only one on this thread who is being dishonest and antagonistic is you. You got a 133 on the LSAT? That's a lie. That's flame.

not a flame? copy and paste your transcript into this thread in the next five minutes.

No. Definitely won't do that again.

Look this is injustice/unfair persecution on TLS.

Update: Holidays is when I have time to post/reflect/chat. Sorry, but I work. You wouldn't know the significance of that, since you are still in college, and have enough leisure time to post all day. Your limited experiences are fueling your ignorance and it shows with your skepticism and closed-mindedness.

Update 2: Why does posting my transcript prove I'm not flaming? Why would I make up an abysmal GPA? Don't understand the logic here. It's real you dingbat. I will not post my transcript because that's identifiable for one and secondly because the online system is closed over christmas.

of bad liars?

Superserial, what yr at CLS? If you really go there.

1L.

I don't know if it is really flame or not but does every tragic/unbelievable sounding story have to be flame? If I post my PS/story up here no one will take it seriously since it is way more turbulent than OP's...

I like his quote though:

"I love seeing comments from people without the life experience to know what is possible. The irritating part is that these types of people don't have the life experience to know they don't have life experience"

this is so true! I smile in class when people talk about they have had a hard life.

if it's not a flame then OP should easily be able to provide us with his credit hours and GPA on a semester-by-semester basis, and they should average to 2.23.

Do you know the crazy chick who asked for resumes and UG transcripts to see who could join her study group?

yes... I think the rumor is hugely exaggerated though.

But why should he have to prove anything? He asked whether a compelling or unbelievable story should be written into a PS, should he share his troublesome experiences. Why would anyone feel the need to validate this to be true? Maybe he chose 2.23 so he won't givaway his real ID should an adcomm google info in his PS?

Point is I feel like people want to challange a compelling story rather than just answer the questions. If you feel like its flame then let it die, don't answer the question.

and to OP, if it isn't flame, write it all. Your experience is what makes you who you are. I struggled with the same question when I started to write my PS and I decided to write my stories. They want to know about you, so you tell them. Maybe my PS can make an adcomm shed a tear and appreciate what I have accomplished. If you truly experienced what you said, then you need to put your accomplishment in perspective and context. Having a 2 something GPA is totally not a bad thing because a weaker person would probably be in prison or on drugs or in the ground, you have to point that out.
