I am heading out on vacation but Steven and Ellie will be taking care of things until I return on July 16.  Please contact us when you get your scores so we can start planning on where to go from there.

With another 10 days or so before the scores come out, now is a good time to think about some of the application components that you can get done during the summer.  The two best would be getting your transcripts sent off and start working on the letters of recommendation.  Make sure to contact all of the schools you attend, including running start and community college institutions.  For letters of recommendation, the form can be found after you "add a recommender" under the letters of recommendation section in your account at www.lsac.org.  Once you have added them, you will see a "print form" button.  Let me know if you have any questions about the process or if you want to talk about who will write a letter for you.

We wish all of our students the best of luck today on the LSAT.  Please get in contact with us if you want to talk about your test, find out where your experimental sections is or what other people thought of the different sections of the test.  Because LSAC does not allow discussion on the internet about specifics of test, I will not be able to post anything about it.  You are welcome to call and listen to the message or come meet with us.

With one week to go until the LSAT, a couple of thoughts.  One is make sure that you read the instructions that come with your ticket very carefully.  Your ticket is in your account on LSAC, located under the LSAT header.  Don't mess with the instructions.  You can be turned away from the test if you don't follow them.  The big ones being, everything comes in a 1 gallon ziplock plastic bag and then other - no cellphones.  As silly as the rules may seem, they are for your protection.  Also, it is time to start thinking about if you are going to take the June test.  If you are good with where you are scoring right now, then go for it.  We can talk afterwards about where it felt good or not.  If you are not where you want to be and think with a few more months, you can get there, then it might make sense to wait until October.  You can't change your test date at this point.  Just don't go next Monday.  The law schools will see that you were registered but didn't take it.  They truly don't care.  If you decide to put this off, get in touch with us so we can create a study plan for over the summer.    The best of luck to those of you who take it on Monday!
