WUSTL fee waiver!

For those who are aiming for T-20, or those who are planning to apply to some as reaches or as safeties, what schools do you like and why?

I'll be happy to report back about WUSTL once I start in August for anyone that is interested.

Are you the next Cuse?

"There were 21,802 LSAT test takers for the June 2014 administration. This figure is down 2,195 or 9.1% from June 2013."

Best news I've heard all day!

This, and securing a rec with brownies. It's a very good day!

I can do better than my earlier news and your recipe.

"The volume of first-time test takers in June 2014 was down approximately 14% from June 2013."

Amazing news. Not liking the increase in 170+ takers though, from a purely selfish perspective.

Eh don't worry about it. It's all of us TLSers following the TLS "retake" mantra.

Here is the final piece of data from June LSAT:

"The percentage of repeat test takers for this administration compared to the same administration last year has increased. For June 2014 , 27% had previously taken the test. In June 2013, 22% had previously taken the test."

Question to all:

If you receive an email from a law school that you have listed in yout application list on LSAC, but haven't applied to them yet, can they already kind of decide if they will accept you? For instance, I got an email from a law school stating my LSAT score and that coupled with my GPA should gain me acceptance should I apply. Are they just sending that to boost their applicant numbers, or do I really have a high chance of being admitted? I know we all get tons of law school emails, but this one was specific.

How are your numbers relative to their medians?

Yeah, this is the pertinent question.

In other news, I just started watching Suits on Amazon Instant Video and am now inclined toward biglaw, seeing as it's all cool pro bono cases and arguing in court as a first-year and participating in fun little mock trial games with my fellow associates.

FWIW I was at a GULC info session earlier today and the admissions person said their app numbers for this cycle are up.

no bueno

I would guess more people below GULC's median LSAT applied than before, so this might not mean much if I'm correct. Their 25th dropped significantly, maybe making GULC a more attainable reach for some.

Idk if the increase in 170+ scores is going to be a negative for any of you though. I'm too lazy to look up the data, but considering the amount of test takers and applicants have been steadily dropping, the percent increase could still yield lower absolute numbers of 170+ applicants.

Regardless of all these interesting data points though, just make the best application that you can and don't worry about all of this. You either have the right numbers, or you don't and you need to retake, that's all any of you can do at this point.

All this data is giving me a headache

You have a great LSAT score. Apply, and things will go well. But again, I think one of the most important things is to remain grounded and humble. You can make predictions off of LSN and whatnot, but schools don't owe you anything and you may not get places/money you thought you "should" and you may get places/money you thought you "shouldn't." Just make a strong application and be patient.

Suits is fantastic! So many great characters. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the name of the show is a double entendre...

Anyways, I'm going to try to brute force my PS tomorrow morning. I hope it goes well... or just goes. We shall see!

Good luck!!

Schools must think that I'm enrolled for Fall 2014 because I haven't gotten any waivers yet
