Majority of schools have had their fees waived for this 2015-2016 cycle on LSAC. Others, I simply emailed the admissions committee, told them I took the December 2015 LSAT and wanted to apply. They all sent back a waiver code. If you don't ask, then you don't get! Since my LSAT score is weak I decided to swing for the fences and play the law of averages. More WL I can get on the greater chances of one of them scooping me up. P.S.- scholarship funds are cumulative (3 years) and rankings below reflect 2017 stats (US & News) ***1/11/19 update: Ladies & Gents. Demand is slowly picking up (average 8-10% bump in apps). Schools are cutting law school sizes & increasing average LSAT means.....Do what you MUST to get in ASAP!! See my strategies below.

What's bizarre is they solicited me based on my stats (i actually emailed stating if they saw my LSAT and GPA) then after 3 mo they rejected me. Look into US News Methodology.

Its progressive, hip, like an oasis in the middle of Indiana. Extremely diverse. B-Town is where it's @! I would have never thought being from a big city. Good luck to all on your journey!! It's a great time to go to law school. Oh BTW, ~150 pages assigned reading before day 1 of class--BE READY!!!!!!! *********************************************** 3/12/17---Hey all. just an update as i finally got some time as its officially spring break thank G. If your following me then you know i'm in my second semester 1L. Listen. Law school is Hard AF!!!!! The hardest thing you will probably come across. Cold Calls are sour, Massive Volume of Readings are painful, and Grades are soul crushing, relative to the competition. Everyone is smart. The margins on who's smarter are paper thin. Teachers can only give out a couple of A's and a couple of C's with the rest falling in between (you can fail of course if you don't study). You are in the library Monday through Sunday. Sleep is a luxury. Let me repeat. Sleep is a Luxury!!! Our Con Law professor said the other day "you guys are 1L's....you sleep when you die." #RealTalk. The good news is stick with it and you'll make it through. Time and dedication is the answer. HMU if you have any Q on what to do (not do) when you start up in fall/spring. Good Luck on your cycles! ********************************************* 4/4/17----Some motivation. I Just landed a 1L summer federal district court judicial internship....this is HUGE for 2L summer as employers choose based on your 1L experience and then extend an offer post 3L summer if you perform well. A lot of networking but the brand name really played a role. Work as hard as you can to get into the BEST ranked school it really makes a difference. HmU on the DM 4 any Q ************************************************ 8/24/17---2L life is so much easier! Hang in there....last year 10% dropped out of my class. What a mistake. This game is a long-term play. After LSAT weed out, they weed you out 1L. Now, we take only 12 credits and choose our electives. A reward for hanging in there. Only the strong survive in a room full of type A personalities. Also, you know how to read a case (find the holding & dissect the arguments fast) so familiarity is another sweetener. Good luck all. The reward is worth it! ************************************************ 9/2/17---Hey guys haven't been on here for a minute. don't think anyone is viewing this 2015-2016 cycle page but in case you do just letting you know that you DON'T have to be top 10-30% to land a pretty good internship. I got a great opportunity to work in an entertainment law firm (being middle to lower ranked in my class) and it was just about networking and showing interest. Good luck and keep at it! Any Q's DM me I would be happy to help. Cheers~ ********************************************* 9/17/17-New LSAC Policy (starting with Sept 2017 LSAT) allows you to take the LSAT unlimited times (no more 3x max cap within a 2 year period). Interesting to see results. Possibly a spike in LSAT takers. Maybe less pressure on takers. Maybe more demand eventually in applications (not good for scholarship $$ and ease of admissions). Only Time will tell. Good Luck on your December 2017 LSAT! ************************************************ HOW TO GET OFF WAITLISTS: ************************************************ Biggest Q I get asked is how to get off WL as I got off many WL! So, here's what I did. It may have changed and not work but I believe it holds true: DON'T PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN BY THE INITIAL DEADLINE!! THATS RIGHT, don't put a deposit down initially rather, ask your school you got into for an extension of time. I believe schools you applied to get a report (unless changed) that tells them who put deposits down and where. If they WL you, and see you put a deposit down in XYZ school---> your likely to not get in. Why would they make you an offer if you already committed elsewhere? That's the theory at least. For me, I didn't put a deposit down on 4/15 of my cycle and towards the end of my cycle I started getting off WL with scholarship $$. One more thing: I also remember speaking to some admission counselors at various schools and they told me they strive to grab the high LSAT scorers first (up to March/April) b/c they know its easier to snag a high GPA at any time. So if they got their LSAT class mean set by April 15...then they go through their application list to see how they can get their mean GPA up. Therefore, if you have a high GPA and have not put a deposit you may likely get off the WL. Finally, visit the 2 or 3 schools you got WL if you can afford it. Say you want a tour. Get to know the admissions staff. This could help if they see you spent $$ to travel to them in addition to the other items i stated above. GOOD LUCK!! ************************************************* 1L TIPS ************************************************ 1/12/18-Guys this TIP alone will help you reach the top amongst your peers. I wish i would have done this last year. (1) The minute you get your West Law from home page--> click on Practical Law---> and (2) whatever class your studying search for the "elements". Ex- Contract Elements or Tort Elements. (3) Take these elements on how to prove or defend your claim and put them in Word (this is your outline!). (4) Every case you read in class add to these elements as examples. Cases after all are examples of facts/stories being applied to the rule of law. IF you try this out please post a message here & LMK. It may determine the difference between you transferring UP or getting more scholarship $$. Any Q's HMU in the DM. Also (Very Important): 1L YEAR you get your schedule from admissions. This means they will LOAD YOU UP with 3-5 BAR CLASSES (think: Mandatory CURVE--> YIKES!!). They do this b/c they need a way to separate the cream of the crop from others in your class b/c FIRMS that come to recruit will have an automatic cut off (top 5%, 7% only) to interview. BEST, best TIP I can give you----> get 1 course dropped. Go to registrar and ask them to drop one course (and do that course your second semester or your 2L or 3L year). FIRMS don't care about QTY of courses they care about GPA--Period. DO IT and you will kill it your first-semester b/c your peers will be studying for 5 classes where you will be studying (harder) for only 4. #UnfairAdvantage ; -)..... TIP on OUTLINES: People in your 1L class will want to trade or "share outlines" and will end up not coming thru (or give shoddy copy n' paste jobs from notes) at the last minute leaving you holding the BAG. YIKES!! Yes, it's very common. Trust No One! To get into top 5-10% it will be marginal gains that get you above your competition and into the highest paying summer jobs. TREAT each person in law school as a business competitor or adversary. Don't give away your TRADE SECRETS! Trust No One! Oh---> if you can find a 2L or 3L that has already taken that professor and class get their OUTLINES and review prior to starting or have it up and add/edit notes the way you understand it directly on their outline. THIS will save you tremendous amounts of time you can use for doing PRACTICE TESTS Yes---you need to do ALL or MOST of the previous practice exams your professor posts before your FINAL. You have ONLY 1 SHOT at hitting the home run. DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND THE CURVE!!! ************************************************** 2L TIPS ************************************************** 6/1/18-What's up all. If you are still following me I wanted to give you a quick update. So I made it through my 2L year and I crushed it. My grades were night n' day from 1L year. The major difference is you are in control of what classes to take. Also, I noticed some "gunners" end up slacking as they may have landed their summer gigs. So, this is the time for you to shine and notch up your GPA while theirs takes a ding. Class Rank is a zero-sum game. For you to make it to the top someone has to move a little lower to the bottom. I'm going to share a LITTLE SECRET (Shhh) with you on how to destroy your competition in your 2L year: Step 1: Pick small class sizes within area's of the law you like. Most class sizes that are small have a relaxed curve or no curve. Anything under 12 students per class. How to find this? If you go to a public university--> google your school + "grade distribution" and you'll find out exactly what is the typical trend with certain class sizes and past grades. Step 2: Pick classes that have a trend of the professor giving out A's, A-, or B+ (no C's). Past is surely no predictor of the future but if you notice a trend you can assume a likelihood of a continuation pattern unless there is some anomaly. Unlike a traditional "curved" class where the professor is req. to hand out C, C-, etc.. look for classes where 80% are A, A- & 20% are B+---> you just increased your chance of getting an A or decreased your chance (if not eliminating it altogether) of getting a C or lower. Step 3: Take more "skills" or "seminar" classes and DO NOT take more than 2 BAR CLASSES (think: mandatory curve) a semester. Usually skill classes such as (trial ad, pre-trial litigation, etc., clinics) or seminar classes (write 20-30 page papers) have no "final" and you can perform throughout the year by achieving certain milestones. These classes feels more like undergrad where your evaluated throughout the year versus one time at the end via a final like a mandatory BAR class. Remember, many students take BAR classes to prep for their BAR exam and this means a bigger class size and a mandatory curve. So, you can take BAR classes but spread them out and take no more than 1 or 2 a semester. This way you can really go HARD studying and outlining for just 1 or 2 bar classes versus 5-6 like you did (or will do) in your 1L year (think: Brutal, Law School Zombie). Step 4: Most important step. Absolutely crush the competition in class. Become the GUNNER in these classes. Raise your hand, talk, be prepared. Remember some 1L gunners may drop their guard (not saying they will) so be prepared to seize the opportunity. Remember, if these classes don't have the one final at the end then you must also brown nose a bit with your professor. Visit him or her in office hours and make sure they know you are really interested in the course. If you pick a class that you like then this should be automatic. The point is make sure the professor knows your name before you finish the class. Remember towards the end, most students start to "participate" because they may feel they have not. Don't be a sheep. Jump in early. Step 5: Don't take classes with the lots of top 10% students. After your 1L year everyone will know who got the BIG LAW jobs or who got straight A's or close to it---> avoid any classes with these kids. They will do anything to stay on the top. Once you sign up for your classes (steps 1-4 above) look at the roster on canvas or blackboard and if you see a lot of 10% gunners--> get the F outta Dodge!! Find another class. If one or two, thats fine but preferably YOU should be the gunner with a bunch of average bell curve pool of applicants. Practical Point: Lots of firms won't even consider you unless you meet a threshold GPA. Therefore you have a second chance your 2L year. Just because you didn't get a "firm job" for your 2L summer doesn't mean you shouldn't do steps 1-5 b/c if you ever want to clerk for a Federal Judge or achieve a LLM they will want to see GRADES. What's better than showing them a steady North East trend in your grades. Bonus Step: Pay it Forward. This is just for good karma points but what I did was find a 1L that was cool and shared with that person the exact classes to take to BOOST their GPA. Any specific questions?---Post a comment or HMU in the DM. Good luck. Remember #believe in yourself and stay positive. You are built 4 Greatness. ************************************************** 3L TIPS ************************************************** What's up ladies n' gents. So i'm rounding 3rd base trying to finish strong here my 3L year. One thing i noticed is many of my classmates started slacking this year. Maybe they got their job offers, maybe they started to study for the BAR, who knows. All I know is I smell blood!! That's right. Crimson RED BLOOD Baby. Biggest advice I can give you on your 3L year is: 1. Choose your classes to BOOST your GPA! The tradeoff you will make is (less classes & bar prep time VS. more classes & no bar prep time). Why more classes? Because as your competition is taking the necessary requirements to graduate (e.g. 10 credits) you have the opportunity to max out at 16 or 17 credits to POP, POP, POP that ----> GPA!! Your goal is to dilute those lower grades (e.g. C+ or B-) with easy classes (seminars, skills, no curve classes). While your competition is taking the min. to get out of law school you want to take the max. Assumption of course is you get A's but you have a great chance to do so if you strategically pick the right courses (see 1A below). Remember, law school GPA is a zero-sum game. The pie is fixed. Your graduating class (175, 173, 180, etc) is fixed so if you move UP the rank, someone moves down. If you are NOT top 30% you have a massive opportunity to CREEP in there by maxing out your classes strategically. Most of my class mates slacked hard this 3L semester. Quality of their presentations were lukewarm at best. Spend an extra 2-3 hours, add the extra bells and whistles, separate yourself from the competition to make the professor justify how they can't give you anything else BUT an A. 1A. How to choose classes? See "2L Tips" above for the full M.O. but basically (1) less students the better (assumption is no curve); (2) skills based (no final, more baby step projects which alleviates everything riding on one exam; (3) choosing professors that are known for giving out no less than a B. This is most important. If you look up their past history of grades (applies to public law schools), you will notice what grades they historically gave out. So you will increase your chances of getting an A or A- if the floor is set at a B (vs. a large, curved class with the floor set at a C). 1B. While in these "easy" classes perform like your in 1L year. Raise your hand, become the "gunner," show the professor your engaged & visit his or her office once or twice even if you think you understand the material (don't over do it though). While your classmates are dreaming about their future (cars, homes, clothes, etc..) you will be in the present-crushing it! Bottom Line: Go HARD AF as your competition slacks. Creep into that top 1/3rd bracket. Even if you don't have a job remember down the road, clerkship, employment, LLM, whatever....the first qualifier to get an interview or the job is a floor GPA. Why? Imagine you make an error on a client's file & the senior partners at your law firm start inquiring into your qualifications. Doesn't look good to the client. Eliminate that scenario. Even if you go solo, it's always nice to say you graduated top 1/3 of your class. Also, if you don't have a gig lined up but you pass the bar and start networking and realize you have an opportunity for a plug, they will require a healthy GPA to at least get an interview. GPA, initially, is the golden ticket whether we agree or not, like it or not. It's the law school game and the passport to get gainful employment (initially). That's it for now. Any Q's HMU in the DM. Peace. ************************************************** 1/15/19: It Works!!! Just got my grades back from 3L and crushed it 3.8 GPA (for the semester) all A's and one B+. I implemented the strategies above. I had 2 "bar classes" and rest were skills classes, with small class sizes. One more semester to go b4 i graduate. The more my 3L classmates slack and don't care the more opportunity I got to shine (and you too). You want the competition to NOT be motivated b/c it gives you a chance to BOOST your GPA!!! If anyone has implemented the steps above or has Q's please HMU in the DM. Good Luck Y'all! ************************************************** 2/24/19: What's up Everyone. Just negotiated with BARBRI for the BAR test prep. There sticker price is $2695 + , got it down to $1495 OTD!! Don't Pay Retail! Any 1L/2L/3L's DM me if you want details. take care. ************************************************** 3/07/19: Just got notified today that I won the "CALI Award" for scoring the highest grades in two of my classes for Fall 2018! It's all a game ladies n gents---> See above tips to beat it!----It works!!! Check out: https://www.cali.org/faq/15688 btw--> amazing resource to do practice questions!!! I found out some students in my 3L class never heard of CALI or ever used it. Sucks 4 them... ************************************************** 4/20/19: Finals Begins!!! Ahhhhhh....J/K.. what's up all, I wanted to mention an amazing resource to prep for finals: West Law Practice Law Series. Imagine having your entire course summed up quick with all the excess fat trimmed out (i.e. most important holdings from each circuit for live practitioners in the field). Go to West Law--> Practice Notes--> Type in your subject (e.g. Crim Law) and download the "Practice Law." (i.e. for all the topics/issues, such as Mens Rea). Once you see one, scroll down and your'll see related issues. Download all of them (word is better to download them into your outline). Hands down, the best resource to save you hours.....NO more scanning through your 100 + page outline! As most of the 3L's are packing and drinking, I'm feasting on this gem to enhance my GPA and put a dagger in my competition b4 I'm outttta here! HMU if you have any questions. Otherwise, Peace out- ************************************************** 05/2/19---Whats up ladies n gents! just finished my last set of law school exams! whew... glad but sad cause grinding it out and learning the law with creative arguments was pretty cool...anyways one tip i wanted to throw out...know your professor and their style. For instance, my last exam, i had a professor that was known to give out A's based on word count. Yes, the rumor goes, that professor would first look at the word count before grading each students exam. Now, for my last exam, there was one student that finished 1 entire hour early...don't think he realized the type of professor he was dealing with....I stayed to the last second i think i might have wrote a 10,000 page MS lol. Anyways, don't know if its true or not but i rather be on the side of preference than not. Know your professor's preferences and look at their grade distribution BEFORE you take the final. take care- ************************************************** 05/04/19---GraduateD!!!!!!!!! Wow I'm done can't believe it!! Full circle..... It feels like yesterday that I paid to sit 4 my first LSAT exam....Time Flies... It's Over! The journey was Real!! A rough ride to say the least but I made it thru in one piece...and I know you can too...just keep up the hard work & dedication no matter what (b/c you will face severe ups & downs throughout the ride)! Just Never, never give up!!! Lot's of people in my 1L quit after a couple of weeks.....That gave me more motivation to slug through it......If anyone has any Q's please HMU on DM...I'll be more than happy to help as i take breaks from this dreaded BAR exam prep!!! ugggggh......Anyways, good luck on your LSAT's and getting accepted to your dream school's---------> Peace Out Y'all!<------------------------ **************************************************

Majority of schools have had their fees waived for this 2015-2016 cycle on LSAC. Others, I simply emailed the admissions committee, told them I took the December 2015 LSAT and wanted to apply. They all sent back a waiver code. If you don't ask, then you don't get! Since my LSAT score is weak I decided to swing for the fences and play the law of averages. More WL I can get on the greater chances of one of them scooping me up. P.S.- scholarship funds are cumulative (3 years) and rankings below reflect 2017 stats (US & News) ***1/11/19 update: Ladies & Gents. Demand is slowly picking up (average 8-10% bump in apps). Schools are cutting law school sizes & increasing average LSAT means.....Do what you MUST to get in ASAP!! See my strategies below.

8/11/2016-I chose I.U. Bloomington (ranked #25). Amazing school. I love this town. Its progressive, hip, like an oasis in the middle of Indiana. Extremely diverse. B-Town is where it's @! I would have never thought being from a big city. Good luck to all on your journey!! It's a great time to go to law school. Oh BTW, ~150 pages assigned reading before day 1 of class--BE READY!!!!!!!

***********************************************

3/12/17---Hey all. just an update as i finally got some time as its officially spring break thank G. If your following me then you know i'm in my second semester 1L. Listen. Law school is Hard AF!!!!! The hardest thing you will probably come across. Cold Calls are sour, Massive Volume of Readings are painful, and Grades are soul crushing, relative to the competition. Everyone is smart. The margins on who's smarter are paper thin. Teachers can only give out a couple of A's and a couple of C's with the rest falling in between (you can fail of course if you don't study). You are in the library Monday through Sunday. Sleep is a luxury. Let me repeat. Sleep is a Luxury!!! Our Con Law professor said the other day "you guys are 1L's....you sleep when you die." #RealTalk. The good news is stick with it and you'll make it through. Time and dedication is the answer. HMU if you have any Q on what to do (not do) when you start up in fall/spring. Good Luck on your cycles! *********************************************

4/4/17----Some motivation. I Just landed a 1L summer federal district court judicial internship....this is HUGE for 2L summer as employers choose based on your 1L experience and then extend an offer post 3L summer if you perform well. A lot of networking but the brand name really played a role. Work as hard as you can to get into the BEST ranked school it really makes a difference. HmU on the DM 4 any Q

************************************************

8/24/17---2L life is so much easier! Hang in there....last year 10% dropped out of my class. What a mistake. This game is a long-term play. After LSAT weed out, they weed you out 1L. Now, we take only 12 credits and choose our electives. A reward for hanging in there. Only the strong survive in a room full of type A personalities. Also, you know how to read a case (find the holding & dissect the arguments fast) so familiarity is another sweetener. Good luck all. The reward is worth it!

************************************************

9/2/17---Hey guys haven't been on here for a minute. don't think anyone is viewing this 2015-2016 cycle page but in case you do just letting you know that you DON'T have to be top 10-30% to land a pretty good internship. I got a great opportunity to work in an entertainment law firm (being middle to lower ranked in my class) and it was just about networking and showing interest. Good luck and keep at it! Any Q's DM me I would be happy to help. Cheers~

*********************************************

9/17/17-New LSAC Policy (starting with Sept 2017 LSAT) allows you to take the LSAT unlimited times (no more 3x max cap within a 2 year period). Interesting to see results. Possibly a spike in LSAT takers. Maybe less pressure on takers. Maybe more demand eventually in applications (not good for scholarship $$ and ease of admissions). Only Time will tell. Good Luck on your December 2017 LSAT!

************************************************

HOW TO GET OFF WAITLISTS:

************************************************ Biggest Q I get asked is how to get off WL as I got off many WL! So, here's what I did. It may have changed and not work but I believe it holds true: DON'T PUT A DEPOSIT DOWN BY THE INITIAL DEADLINE!! THATS RIGHT, don't put a deposit down initially rather, ask your school you got into for an extension of time. I believe schools you applied to get a report (unless changed) that tells them who put deposits down and where. If they WL you, and see you put a deposit down in XYZ school---> your likely to not get in. Why would they make you an offer if you already committed elsewhere? That's the theory at least. For me, I didn't put a deposit down on 4/15 of my cycle and towards the end of my cycle I started getting off WL with scholarship $$. One more thing: I also remember speaking to some admission counselors at various schools and they told me they strive to grab the high LSAT scorers first (up to March/April) b/c they know its easier to snag a high GPA at any time. So if they got their LSAT class mean set by April 15...then they go through their application list to see how they can get their mean GPA up. Therefore, if you have a high GPA and have not put a deposit you may likely get off the WL. Finally, visit the 2 or 3 schools you got WL if you can afford it. Say you want a tour. Get to know the admissions staff. This could help if they see you spent $$ to travel to them in addition to the other items i stated above. GOOD LUCK!! *************************************************

1L TIPS

************************************************

1/12/18-Guys this TIP alone will help you reach the top amongst your peers. I wish i would have done this last year. (1) The minute you get your West Law from home page--> click on Practical Law---> and (2) whatever class your studying search for the "elements". Ex- Contract Elements or Tort Elements. (3) Take these elements on how to prove or defend your claim and put them in Word (this is your outline!). (4) Every case you read in class add to these elements as examples. Cases after all are examples of facts/stories being applied to the rule of law. IF you try this out please post a message here & LMK. It may determine the difference between you transferring UP or getting more scholarship $$. Any Q's HMU in the DM. Also (Very Important): 1L YEAR you get your schedule from admissions. This means they will LOAD YOU UP with 3-5 BAR CLASSES (think: Mandatory CURVE--> YIKES!!). They do this b/c they need a way to separate the cream of the crop from others in your class b/c FIRMS that come to recruit will have an automatic cut off (top 5%, 7% only) to interview. BEST, best TIP I can give you----> get 1 course dropped. Go to registrar and ask them to drop one course (and do that course your second semester or your 2L or 3L year). FIRMS don't care about QTY of courses they care about GPA--Period. DO IT and you will kill it your first-semester b/c your peers will be studying for 5 classes where you will be studying (harder) for only 4. #UnfairAdvantage ; -)..... TIP on OUTLINES: People in your 1L class will want to trade or "share outlines" and will end up not coming thru (or give shoddy copy n' paste jobs from notes) at the last minute leaving you holding the BAG. YIKES!! Yes, it's very common. Trust No One! To get into top 5-10% it will be marginal gains that get you above your competition and into the highest paying summer jobs. TREAT each person in law school as a business competitor or adversary. Don't give away your TRADE SECRETS! Trust No One! Oh---> if you can find a 2L or 3L that has already taken that professor and class get their OUTLINES and review prior to starting or have it up and add/edit notes the way you understand it directly on their outline. THIS will save you tremendous amounts of time you can use for doing PRACTICE TESTS Yes---you need to do ALL or MOST of the previous practice exams your professor posts before your FINAL. You have ONLY 1 SHOT at hitting the home run. DON'T GET LEFT BEHIND THE CURVE!!! **************************************************

2L TIPS

**************************************************

6/1/18-What's up all. If you are still following me I wanted to give you a quick update. So I made it through my 2L year and I crushed it. My grades were night n' day from 1L year. The major difference is you are in control of what classes to take. Also, I noticed some "gunners" end up slacking as they may have landed their summer gigs. So, this is the time for you to shine and notch up your GPA while theirs takes a ding. Class Rank is a zero-sum game. For you to make it to the top someone has to move a little lower to the bottom. I'm going to share a LITTLE SECRET (Shhh) with you on how to destroy your competition in your 2L year: Step 1: Pick small class sizes within area's of the law you like. Most class sizes that are small have a relaxed curve or no curve. Anything under 12 students per class. How to find this? If you go to a public university--> google your school + "grade distribution" and you'll find out exactly what is the typical trend with certain class sizes and past grades. Step 2: Pick classes that have a trend of the professor giving out A's, A-, or B+ (no C's). Past is surely no predictor of the future but if you notice a trend you can assume a likelihood of a continuation pattern unless there is some anomaly. Unlike a traditional "curved" class where the professor is req. to hand out C, C-, etc.. look for classes where 80% are A, A- & 20% are B+---> you just increased your chance of getting an A or decreased your chance (if not eliminating it altogether) of getting a C or lower. Step 3: Take more "skills" or "seminar" classes and DO NOT take more than 2 BAR CLASSES (think: mandatory curve) a semester. Usually skill classes such as (trial ad, pre-trial litigation, etc., clinics) or seminar classes (write 20-30 page papers) have no "final" and you can perform throughout the year by achieving certain milestones. These classes feels more like undergrad where your evaluated throughout the year versus one time at the end via a final like a mandatory BAR class. Remember, many students take BAR classes to prep for their BAR exam and this means a bigger class size and a mandatory curve. So, you can take BAR classes but spread them out and take no more than 1 or 2 a semester. This way you can really go HARD studying and outlining for just 1 or 2 bar classes versus 5-6 like you did (or will do) in your 1L year (think: Brutal, Law School Zombie). Step 4: Most important step. Absolutely crush the competition in class. Become the GUNNER in these classes. Raise your hand, talk, be prepared. Remember some 1L gunners may drop their guard (not saying they will) so be prepared to seize the opportunity. Remember, if these classes don't have the one final at the end then you must also brown nose a bit with your professor. Visit him or her in office hours and make sure they know you are really interested in the course. If you pick a class that you like then this should be automatic. The point is make sure the professor knows your name before you finish the class. Remember towards the end, most students start to "participate" because they may feel they have not. Don't be a sheep. Jump in early. Step 5: Don't take classes with the lots of top 10% students. After your 1L year everyone will know who got the BIG LAW jobs or who got straight A's or close to it---> avoid any classes with these kids. They will do anything to stay on the top. Once you sign up for your classes (steps 1-4 above) look at the roster on canvas or blackboard and if you see a lot of 10% gunners--> get the F outta Dodge!! Find another class. If one or two, thats fine but preferably YOU should be the gunner with a bunch of average bell curve pool of applicants. Practical Point: Lots of firms won't even consider you unless you meet a threshold GPA. Therefore you have a second chance your 2L year. Just because you didn't get a "firm job" for your 2L summer doesn't mean you shouldn't do steps 1-5 b/c if you ever want to clerk for a Federal Judge or achieve a LLM they will want to see GRADES. What's better than showing them a steady North East trend in your grades. Bonus Step: Pay it Forward. This is just for good karma points but what I did was find a 1L that was cool and shared with that person the exact classes to take to BOOST their GPA. Any specific questions?---Post a comment or HMU in the DM. Good luck. Remember #believe in yourself and stay positive. You are built 4 Greatness. **************************************************

3L TIPS

**************************************************

What's up ladies n' gents. So i'm rounding 3rd base trying to finish strong here my 3L year. One thing i noticed is many of my classmates started slacking this year. Maybe they got their job offers, maybe they started to study for the BAR, who knows. All I know is I smell blood!! That's right. Crimson RED BLOOD Baby. Biggest advice I can give you on your 3L year is: 1. Choose your classes to BOOST your GPA! The tradeoff you will make is (less classes & bar prep time VS. more classes & no bar prep time). Why more classes? Because as your competition is taking the necessary requirements to graduate (e.g. 10 credits) you have the opportunity to max out at 16 or 17 credits to POP, POP, POP that ----> GPA!! Your goal is to dilute those lower grades (e.g. C+ or B-) with easy classes (seminars, skills, no curve classes). While your competition is taking the min. to get out of law school you want to take the max. Assumption of course is you get A's but you have a great chance to do so if you strategically pick the right courses (see 1A below). Remember, law school GPA is a zero-sum game. The pie is fixed. Your graduating class (175, 173, 180, etc) is fixed so if you move UP the rank, someone moves down. If you are NOT top 30% you have a massive opportunity to CREEP in there by maxing out your classes strategically. Most of my class mates slacked hard this 3L semester. Quality of their presentations were lukewarm at best. Spend an extra 2-3 hours, add the extra bells and whistles, separate yourself from the competition to make the professor justify how they can't give you anything else BUT an A. 1A. How to choose classes? See "2L Tips" above for the full M.O. but basically (1) less students the better (assumption is no curve); (2) skills based (no final, more baby step projects which alleviates everything riding on one exam; (3) choosing professors that are known for giving out no less than a B. This is most important. If you look up their past history of grades (applies to public law schools), you will notice what grades they historically gave out. So you will increase your chances of getting an A or A- if the floor is set at a B (vs. a large, curved class with the floor set at a C). 1B. While in these "easy" classes perform like your in 1L year. Raise your hand, become the "gunner," show the professor your engaged & visit his or her office once or twice even if you think you understand the material (don't over do it though). While your classmates are dreaming about their future (cars, homes, clothes, etc..) you will be in the present-crushing it! Bottom Line: Go HARD AF as your competition slacks. Creep into that top 1/3rd bracket. Even if you don't have a job remember down the road, clerkship, employment, LLM, whatever....the first qualifier to get an interview or the job is a floor GPA. Why? Imagine you make an error on a client's file & the senior partners at your law firm start inquiring into your qualifications. Doesn't look good to the client. Eliminate that scenario. Even if you go solo, it's always nice to say you graduated top 1/3 of your class. Also, if you don't have a gig lined up but you pass the bar and start networking and realize you have an opportunity for a plug, they will require a healthy GPA to at least get an interview. GPA, initially, is the golden ticket whether we agree or not, like it or not. It's the law school game and the passport to get gainful employment (initially). That's it for now. Any Q's HMU in the DM. Peace. ************************************************** 1/15/19: It Works!!! Just got my grades back from 3L and crushed it 3.8 GPA (for the semester) all A's and one B+. I implemented the strategies above. I had 2 "bar classes" and rest were skills classes, with small class sizes. One more semester to go b4 i graduate. The more my 3L classmates slack and don't care the more opportunity I got to shine (and you too). You want the competition to NOT be motivated b/c it gives you a chance to BOOST your GPA!!! If anyone has implemented the steps above or has Q's please HMU in the DM. Good Luck Y'all! **************************************************

2/24/19: What's up Everyone. Just negotiated with BARBRI for the BAR test prep. There sticker price is $2695 + , got it down to $1495 OTD!! Don't Pay Retail! Any 1L/2L/3L's DM me if you want details. take care.

**************************************************

3/07/19: Just got notified today that I won the "CALI Award" for scoring the highest grades in two of my classes for Fall 2018! It's all a game ladies n gents---> See above tips to beat it!----It works!!! Check out: https://www.cali.org/faq/15688 btw--> amazing resource to do practice questions!!! I found out some students in my 3L class never heard of CALI or ever used it. Sucks 4 them...

**************************************************

4/20/19: Finals Begins!!! Ahhhhhh....J/K.. what's up all, I wanted to mention an amazing resource to prep for finals: West Law Practice Law Series. Imagine having your entire course summed up quick with all the excess fat trimmed out (i.e. most important holdings from each circuit for live practitioners in the field). Go to West Law--> Practice Notes--> Type in your subject (e.g. Crim Law) and download the "Practice Law." (i.e. for all the topics/issues, such as Mens Rea). Once you see one, scroll down and your'll see related issues. Download all of them (word is better to download them into your outline). Hands down, the best resource to save you hours.....NO more scanning through your 100 + page outline! As most of the 3L's are packing and drinking, I'm feasting on this gem to enhance my GPA and put a dagger in my competition b4 I'm outttta here! HMU if you have any questions. Otherwise, Peace out-

**************************************************

05/2/19---Whats up ladies n gents! just finished my last set of law school exams! whew... glad but sad cause grinding it out and learning the law with creative arguments was pretty cool...anyways one tip i wanted to throw out...know your professor and their style. For instance, my last exam, i had a professor that was known to give out A's based on word count. Yes, the rumor goes, that professor would first look at the word count before grading each students exam. Now, for my last exam, there was one student that finished 1 entire hour early...don't think he realized the type of professor he was dealing with....I stayed to the last second i think i might have wrote a 10,000 page MS lol. Anyways, don't know if its true or not but i rather be on the side of preference than not. Know your professor's preferences and look at their grade distribution BEFORE you take the final. take care-

**************************************************

05/04/19---GraduateD!!!!!!!!! Wow I'm done can't believe it!! Full circle..... It feels like yesterday that I paid to sit 4 my first LSAT exam....Time Flies... It's Over! The journey was Real!!

Just Never, never give up!!! Lot's of people in my 1L quit after a couple of weeks.....That gave me more motivation to slug through it......If anyone has any Q's please HMU on DM...I'll be more than happy to help as i take breaks from this dreaded BAR exam prep!!! ugggggh......Anyways, good luck on your LSAT's and getting accepted to your dream school's---------> Peace Out Y'all!**************************************************
