For those of you who went to your UG in person to request a transcript to be sent to LSAC, how long did it take for LSAC to process it?

Literally minutes apart for me. She emailed me saying she sent it. When I finished reading her email I refreshed my inbox and i got one from lsac saying its processed.

wow really? i thought people had to wait like a week or something

Cara! Good to see you.

I have this foolproof method for PS generation. You should ask Jeeves about it.

Ya I assumed so too. Unless she timed her email perfectly and sent it a week after she sent it to lsac lol. Which now that I think about it would make sense cause I went to them about a week and a bit before I got her email.

Are you saying Cara should seek my advice or is this still your go-to search engine?

ETA: currently procrastinating starting personal statement / general app stuff

Hey dude...procrastinating on LSAT retake shit and spending too much time on TLS.

Welcome!

thank you thank you - we can now officially add procrastinating for LSAT retake shit to my agenda too. I unfortunately just registered... About to go check in to the study group so I can at least feel like I'm studying hahaha

Found a fee waiver for Miami in my junk folder today lol. Also bored as hell at work but firmly set on not using my time for anything productive.

[Bob loblaw law blog]

Checking in. Been Grinding all month to get my apps in order. I've officially reached the point where all there is left to do is to sit and wait for LORs to come in and stress. Only Fee waiver so far is WUSTL.

Do you have a checklist of what you've done? I always feel like I'm done and then freak myself out.

I'm primarily using this: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 11&t=75491

I do sort of have m own, although it's pen and paper and includes a lot more than law school apps (I'm KJD so lots of senior year stuff there too). It's mostly:

Take LSAT [x}
Get Score I'm happy with [x}
Get LOR commitments [x]
Figure out the LSAC system for how to enter in LORs [ ] (because they make nothing easy, I am still working on this)
Write PS [x]
Edit PS[x]
Have everyone you know look at PS and tear it apart [x]
Submit transcripts [x] (do this soon if you haven't yet, bigger pain than I thought it would be)
Figure out any C & F issues [x] (thankfully all I have is a speeding ticket from high school, Idk if I should even put that down)
Write "why x" for schools you want to [x] ( not actually totally done with this... but only in the sense that I might decide to write more of them)
Request fee Waivers [ ] (I'm waiting til the second half of the month)

Hey guys, just wanted to get some opinions. I'm a Florida native, and know for sure that I want to stay here to practice after school. Should I include schools outside of Florida on my app list? Right now, FSU is my top choice, and I'm sure I can get some scholly money if I apply early enough as planned. Thanks for the future advice, let me know if you need my stats to answer this.


EDIT: Biglaw is not a must for me, just to throw that in there, lol

This really gonna come down to your numbers. FSU (and UF, though I'm also a nole) are great schools, and if you are 100% on staying in FL they'll serve you well. But if you can get into t14 or are thinking you may want to spend a little time somewhere else you may want to look at other areas too

True. I got a 162 (not taking again) and a 3.8, URM. So I'm hoping those are good enough numbers to get in. My only out of state I was considering was UT-Austin, cause I always wanted to see Texas, but tuition here is so cheap.

Hey...welcome to the thread! About FL (anecdote alert): Mrs. Meerkat graduated from one of Duke, Penn, Virginia this last year. One of her close friends was top-25ish% after 1L year and grew up/graduated high school in Florida. This person received multiple V15 offers in NYC (definitely an accomplished individual) but, despite 3 callbacks at FL biglaw firms, couldn't land an offer to get back home.

So, I'd suggest you seriously consider the TLS-standard advice that FL is VERY uniquely ties sensitive. If you're dead set on practicing in FL, seems to me FSU might be a solid option (especially if you're looking at a significant scholarship). Good luck!

You should get into any school in FL with those numbers and get a bit of money too. It looks like T14 would be a stretch, as would Austin. I don't like the idea of putting all your eggs in one state's basket, but if you're a florida boy and it's where you want to stay I say focus on them.
