Confusing BC question on language proficiency
Anyone else confused by this one? Am I just reading it wrong? Seems to me like nothing here applies to me, but it's a required question and there's no "n/a" or "none of the above" option. Number one would apply to me except the bit about "legal education at the university level" ... I don't have any legal education yet right?

Send an email to the school asking about this. Presumably, they mean your undergrad.risa wrote:Anyone else confused by this one? Am I just reading it wrong?

Re: Confusing BC question on language proficiency
That looks like an LLM application, you probably started the wrong one.

Re: Confusing BC question on language proficiency
it does sound like that but I just double checked and it says it's the JD 2013 application. I guess I will email the school...

Re: Confusing BC question on language proficiency
I called the admissions office and before I could even finish my question she knew what I was going to say. Apparently I'm not the first person to run into this issue. This morning there's a "school updated application - review your answers" note on LSAC and I see that this question is no longer *'ed as required.

Re: Confusing BC question on language proficiency
Seems like an LLM application question made it on to the JD application form.
