i was an escort at an abortion clinic 5 days a week for about seven months last year.
should i mention this on the app?

No. Just fucking no. What will it be tomorrow? You founded the Space Program in Botswana and want to know if that will help your application?

i would do it, you're probably looking at a 5 point LSAT boost at least

Why? I understand that it's a hot issue, but it helps show commitment to a cause. There are a few schools out there that would probably love this, but also a number that would hate it.

I feel like something like this might stand out from the 90% of other applicants who are supposedly interested in public interest but didn't put their money where there mouth is.

From yesterday...

i do have a diagnosis of ADHD going for me and a gpa of 3.5 for my last 21 credit hrs. after beginning treatment.
it's been four years since i graduated and in that time i've had 2 jobs, both of which lasted about eight months.
the good news is that the last arrest (of six, no felonies, only two convictions and no jail time served) happened just as I was beginning the drug therapy for the ADHD (yes i'm being ironic).
to top it all off i'm 37 years old.
is there anywhere that will accept me?

There's just no way this isn't a troll at this point.

your doing wonders for my self esteem.
i won't respond to your post because that will just prejudice me further thanks to your bullshit.
all i can say is that it's true and i am really looking for advice on this.
