I laughed (almost) out loud at that screwdriver question, something about it was hilarious to me

Boring question: If you are retaking (or are likely to retake), how much time will you devote to studying?

If I have to retake I will likely prep similar to how I did for June as I was pting high and will rack the retake up to nerves for first time. If for some odd reason I would retake a third time at that point I might get a psychiatrist instead of an LSAT tutor.lynn.wibi wrote:Boring question: If you are retaking (or are likely to retake), how much time will you devote to studying?

Very little early on but increasing in the final month. I find it was difficult in the middle to keep my obsessiveness high. So really, enough to not lose any practice, but really just focusing in on the final few weeks. I had to cancel my May study staycation due to turnover at work so I managed to schedule a week off in September so this could be good. Wait, what day is September test?lynn.wibi wrote:Boring question: If you are retaking (or are likely to retake), how much time will you devote to studying?

Anyone going to the LSAC Forum in DC next month? I've heard that fee waivers are given out like candy, and I was able to get a super cheap flight/hotel for that day. Should easily make my money spent back in waivers, and if not the conversations I have with admissions people can be useful for Why X essays.

Maybe, I was planning a trip out of town that weekend. If I'm in town I'll go since it's basically up the street.

I'm interested. I'm about 3 hours away but I'll make the trip for some fee waivers and exposure to that stuff.Slippin' Jimmy wrote:Anyone going to the LSAC Forum in DC next month?

The closest LSAC forum to me is in Houston. I don't mind making the drive, but it's all the way at the end of October and I'll almost certainly have submitted all of my apps except perhaps Yale. Is there any value in going at that point? If so, I'll make plans to attend.

Re: June 2017 Waiters Thread- Dowsing for gray
Is anyone else here involved politically? Just anecdotally, it seems like eager potential law students are drawn to political orgs. I was a Hill intern in college, did some volunteering for the Clinton campaign, and now I volunteer with Battleground Texas and my local Democratic Party. I have some concern that having such an explicit political bend might taint my app in the eyes of some adcomms, but given the liberal leaning nature of most law it probably isn't much to worry about. I can probably rule out a Gorsuch clerkship in a few years though.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Not sure how this would hurt you at all. Most top schools are pretty heavily liberal leaning - you'd be much more likely to face backlash if you had volunteered for the trump campaignHenryHankPalmer wrote:Is anyone else here involved politically?

I volunteered for Sanders quite a bit. Member of a small Marxist party but will probably keep that off applications.HenryHankPalmer wrote:Is anyone else here involved politically?

Shouldn't really be a problem, unless you come across as one of those naive "I want to be a lawyer so I can get into politics" type. You're correct, most law schools are pretty liberal, and even so, I doubt your political orientation would be the issue, it's really a matter of coming across as either 1) arrogant or 2) naive.HenryHankPalmer wrote:Is anyone else here involved politically?

I have 0 interest in getting involved in politics myself, it's almost more of a hobby. I have four PS ideas, and none include political activism for fear of being either of the two things you mentioned.Platopus wrote:Shouldn't really be a problem, unless you come across as one of those naive "I want to be a lawyer so I can get into politics" type.
