Retaking is not an option since this was my 3rd try in 2 years.
I have significantly increased my score every single time, I originally got a 143 which I took cold and did not cancel unfortunately... I took 13 timed 4 section exams over 20 days this time.

The LSAT can DEFINITIVELY be learned and anyone that thinks otherwise is choosing the lazy way out... Short of committing Seppuku since like all TLSers I wanted a 170, given the state of the economy and the cost of a legal education (I do not come from a wealthy background and can not secure US loans since I'm not a citizen) , are there any schools analogous to these ones where I might be able to get a little money?

-Connecticut
-Loyola LA
-San Diego
-Northeastern
-Seattle
-Oregon
-Syracuse
-Santa Clara


Do those who attend part-time programs receive any $$ if I am an admit according to LSP? Am I overly naive? Will I ever attend LS? Find out the answers to these and other questions on the next episode

chapman may give you a lot. maybe even full.

It would be offset by living in Orange County where I'd stand out like a sore thumb. Thanks for the reply though

How's your cycle going?

[twert]

i just said chapman because you applied to usd and loyola, which really aren't much different that living in orange county, and they'd give you more money at chapman.

my cycle ended last year, i'm at chapman

Wow, good for you. I'm applying to Pittsburgh soon. I was put on the wait list last year, and then put in a second wait list, but rejected before the school year started. I think I was negatively impacted by my late application, which wasn't put into review until the February LSAT. I unfortunately got the same LSAT score, 159, that I got last December, but perhaps I can get over the hump this time if I get my application out this coming week. I'd love to get money, but considering my overall LSAC GPA sucks because I was a math major for a while and was terrible at it. But at this point, I just want to go to the highest ranked school, in a market I'd be comfortable living in. I can figure out the money as I go along if need be.

Where else did you apply, if anywhere?

Thanks

It is a bit encouraging
