And you think YOU had a hard time taking the LSAT?
Categories: Uncategorized AtlasLSAT posted a great article today about the struggles of those currently serving our country who are applying to law school. I have worked -and currently work – with a number of law school applicants who are worrying about the LSAT while serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, or on warships. This post might help put your noisy proctor problem in perspective : ) Tips for Getting Into Law School
Categories: Advice, Law School Admission Deadlines, Law School Admission Trends, Law School Personal Statement, Law School Resume Tips I just returned from a really great couple of days speaking to the Pre-Law Society at San Diego State University and the Phi Alpha Delta chapter at University of California San Diego. Next week, I’ll be headed to NYC to speak to students at Fordham University. The school newspaper there interviewed me about my tips for getting into law school. I wanted to share this with my readers because I think they asked me some really great questions. Is the December 2009 LSAT too late for Fall 2010?
Categories: LSAT, LSAT Prep, LSAT; Rolling Admissions, Low LSAT, Multiple LSAT scores I hope everyone had a good weekend, but since LSAT scores came out I’m sure a lot of you were distracted and unable to enjoy your normal pursuits. A common question over the weekend was, “If I take the LSAT again in December, is it too late to be competitive for Fall 2010 admission?” No. It’s not too late. I had clients last year who were admitted to Harvard and Columbia with December LSAT scores. It’s not too late. The key is deciding whether you are set up to be successful with an LSAT that is only 6 weeks away. Here are some factors to consider: 1. Was the problem with your LSAT score in September a lack of sufficient preparation? If so, December is too soon to make a dramatic improvement in your score. 2. If the problem with your September LSAT result was a strange testing circumstance (illness, medication side-effects, noise, terrible proctors, missing an uncharacteristic amount of questions on a particular section, etc.) then it is feasible to raise your score significantly. The next thing you’re going to ask is: Do I submit applications BEFORE I take the December LSAT? Here are the factors to consider: 1. You only have 6 weeks to maximize your December LSAT score? Why would you cut into such a short time frame by spending time on applications? Especially when those schools aren’t going to review your application without your score. And especially if you have other obligations (school, work, family) that are going to demand your time in the next 6 weeks. 2. You can work on applications starting December 6th and still get things submitted sooner than most December LSAT takers.

Categories: Law School Personal Statement I just finished presenting to 160+ law school applicants through a webinar for MSU Law School. Everyone asked great questions tonight and I’m opening up this blog post tonight to answer any questions about “Crafting Your Best Law School Personal Statement and Other Winning Tips for Law School Admission” that we were unable to answer during our session tonight. Just leave comments and I will reply. Thanks so much for your comments and feedback about the session. For those of you who missed it, we talked about the do’s and don’t for personal statements and other aspects of the application process. Choosing an LSAT Prep Course
Categories: Uncategorized I want to thank Noah Teitelbaum of AltasLSAT for spending 45 minutes sharing LSAT preparation strategy information with my Law School Expert listeners. Topics included: How much you can really raise your LSAT score. The importance of having a good LSAT instructor. How it’s possible to perform at a level higher than your initial aptitude on the exam might dictate. How to know if you’re really ready for the LSAT, or if you should postpone your test date. How to know if you would benefit most from a class, a tutor, or from self-study. If you missed the show, you can listen to it at BlogTalkRadio.com or by downloading it on iTunes. If you have question for me or or for Noah about the show, please leave comments here. I look forward to your feedback. |
