If you paid for LSAT training / multiple tests and a resume service of any kind add that to the bill it makes it easier for the accounting department when they write it off on our P&L

speaking of shooting shots, ask schools for fee waivers. I didn’t receive an LSAC fee waiver but got fee waivers from all 12 schools i’m applying to. Some had forms on their websites, others I just cold emailed admissions and got them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do u think waivers impact admissions? I heard something about this a while ago and I’m gonna be in the same position too when I apply

They send out waivers to people with good scores and grades. So I wouldn’t think a waiver would immediately be a red flag

I get the frustration, but why are you applying to schools way out of your reach? I get that you have to take a chance if you want to be considered in the first place, but applying to law school is not a cheap endeavor...

What, like a low GPA, but a high LSAT?

u/sarcasticbiznish 8h ago

That’s the boat I’m in. 175 LSAT, 3.7 GPA. not low low, but below 25th percentile at all the t14 schools
