Hello, I'm an international applicant. I already send out most of my applications, but a few of them requires TOEFL. I recently received my TOEFL result but don't know whether I should send them to LSAC. From what I read on the LSAC website, they send the updated report to all schools that you have applied. But most of the schools are already reviewing my application, will the updated report slow down my application process?
Also, some schools that require TOEFL already put my status into complete and did not ask for TOEFL, does that mean they don't really need it?

I have given the TOEFL and it really was redundant. If you have a decent LSAT; which I guess you have since you are applying to these schools, then the adcoms are happy to waive the requirement. Just shoot an email abt LSAT, UG degree and I institution and you shall be fine.

Once you put in the LSAC ETS code, the score will automatically show on your CAS report.

I have a perfect 120 on my CAS report, and I don't think it made any difference at all for my T14 applications this cycle. ><

the poll only allows for ten options, so it is entirely up to my discretion to group the options to achieve that

Thanks for the new poll hereisonehand!

Congrats to Brady and jaws!! Brady, what is this JD/LLM program? It sounds really interesting. Is it like 3 year course and you receive both JD and LLM?

[Brady199]

Thanks muse! Yes.. It is a dual degree program.

Have to get extra credits so tons of work ahead. But it also has a cool Geneva/HK summer school and several international internship options.
Who else is coming to Duke?

That is too cool. Especially with the foreign exchange program. Yeah it will involve more work than others, but at the end of the day you get two degrees at a top law school for the price of and the duration of one! Talk about efficiency !

ditto for georgetown. also, if you've chosen "other" in the poll, do tell us where you're headed. or not. basically do whatever you like.

ETA: but whatever you do, don't forget to update the spreadsheet! future generations of international applicants will forever be in your debt

Aw, wish this had happened while I was still there. If you guys do meet up, hope you have a nice time. It's great to see a pretty decent representation of Koreans on this thread (as well as foreigners living in Korea ).

Thanks sorcer! Wish you could come too
