This 9/15/2011 nonsense is driving me crazy.

[bitterpessimist]

AA Female checking in. I hope to have my applications out by 10/1, I'm still polishing my PS. Anyone up to reading an almost-final draft?

[Moomoo2u]

sure pm me

[Sh@keNb@ke]

I'll give it a read as well!

[dkt4]

is it more interesting than contracts? if it is, i will

[horrorbusiness]

Will be applying this cycle.

Just got my LSAC gpa this morning - 3.37. A pleasant surprise, since I myself had calculated a 3.3.. not a bad little bump. Taking the October LSAT, and willing to ED, depending on my score.

Looking hard at Cornell, but generally planning on applying to t-14+ UCLA, USC, Vandy, GWU, and maybe Davis and Hastings.

Oh yeah, Half-Mexican URM. I'd love to have a few fellow applicants check my PS/DS (when I write it), and am willing to look at others' in return.

[Player21]

I'm applying this cycle but really considering pushing back my October LSAT to December. Does this hurt URM applying late December? I know if you have amazing stats, it doesn't hurt at all. I know some who have applied after the deadline and got accepted to great schools. And, my stats definitely aren't great.

[serdog]

GPA: 3.53
LSAT: 165, 170

PS: about how learning Korean gave me a passion for helping others
DS: about losing and accepting my argentinean background

What are you best 3 years ? Toronto is a reach with that GPA(Median are 3.85[calculated on best 3] and 168 ), however if you have one bad year go for it

[jamesbond]

damn man nice #'s you're a shoe-in at t5 downwards, lucky.

Lol muchas gracias. Hoping HYS looks favorably upon me in the next few months. You're not going to have a terrible cycle yourself, either.

Espero que no pero nunca se sabe :\

you guys wanna post stats/schools you're applying to like they did in the other 2010-11 thread? EDIT: realized benalize already said this haha.

I'll start

i should have most of my apps out by the end of next week. i wonder if that's an indication of a decrease in urm apps? though, i know a lot of us apply later anyhow...
