Yup. As well as a few 'women in law' groups.
Have you been replying to them? I wonder if it'd be ok to ask them some questions about their admissions process?
I haven't been, mostly because I don't really have the time between work and trying to finish up apps. But if the email indicates they're willing to communicate, I don't see why not. A few of the emails I've gotten are from organizations hosting webinars, which I think might be the best method of direct communication.
ok, awesome, thank you!

I replied to a couple last year. If anything, it kind of helps you get oriented to groups on campus, and ask questions you may not have access to if you have no friends at the school.

AA Male here. Submitted my apps this week and decided to finally check in! This site has been a godsend throughout the LSAT grind and application process. Blanketed the T-14 plus a few other local schools. Good luck everyone!

Thanks! And yes, I wrote a why Duke. I'm below their median LSAT and above the median GPA. I know it's easy for me to say now, but try not to see this as a litmus test for the rest of your applications. Just know you've done something right just to get the PT invite in the first place!

Also PM me if you want exact stats, softs, etc.

You'll be fine, don't worry about it. I have only received it from a couple of schools. Where are you thinking of applying?
Thanks :mrgreen: I do like to stay connected. Mostly HLS, YLS, and maybe Georgetown

I'm more concerned with demographics... tough decisions so far one application is ready
