do you guys know if we're supposed to put our LSAC GPA or our actual undergrad GPA on the application on LSAC (under the Education section)?

I put my degree GPA. my LSDAS GPA wouldn't be accurate to put for any given school since for me it's made up of more than one institution.

I spent a lot of time going back on forth on this before deciding that short of calling adcomms there's no way to get an answer to this--and it can't possibly matter relative to your LSDAS report. None of the places I took classes calculated GPAs, so I figured it was fine to just use the LSDAS formula to input it myself; at least then the relative weights going into the LSDAS GPA are clear if anyone cared at all. If you have a legit degree GPA that makes tons of sense though/is probably credited.

So how many schools are you all applying to? I'm thinking I'll apply to 11 schools, maybe more, maybe less depending on my LSAT score.

Probably 5

My list is at 22. But depending on my LSAT score some will come off the bottom or top. So probably 18 or less.

[Winston1984]

I'll have 19 if I submit these last four.

19 as well here.

[Hand]

I plan on 14 right now, still debating a couple beyond that.

I've applied for 18.... I may apply for 1 or 2 more. A lot of fee waivers though.

Yep, I am still waiting on one of my most important recs. So scary having everything basically done but playing the waiting game.

Just want to say I like your username/that song.

13 schools. I'm finally ready to submit. I had forgotten how excruciating writing a PS is for me.

I'm jealous. Although I did get 1 of my 3 letters in!

[Dream_weaver32]

I'm beyond frustrated at this point. Applications have been finished, all my statements have been done for like 2 months. Asked for LOR's in late July/Early August and here we are almost halfway through October. I was expecting to submit within like a week of apps opening. I realize that they are busy, but the fact that I have a lot riding on this process and I have no control at this point. I'm stressed and starting to question what it is i'm going to do.

Have you sent them a gentle reminder yet?

Seek out backups now. Have them as an option on LSAC, and if/when your preferred letters come through, just don't assign your backups to any schools.
Prepare for the worst jic, though.
