A Timeline for Applying to Law School

A Timeline for Applying to Law School LSAT Law School Blog Today’s guest post comes fromAnn Levine, president and chief consultant atLaw School Expert. Ann is the former director of law school admissions at two ABA-approved law schools and the nation’s leading law school admission consultant. Law School Expert provides hourly and beginning-to-end consulting, and Ann has personally guided over 2,000 law school applicants through the law school admission process. Ann is also the author of the bestselling law school admission guidebookThe Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert. A Timeline for Applying to Law School Law school applications are released starting in the end of August, but some schools don’t release applications until October 1. When you choose to submit your applications is mostly dependent on when you are taking theLSAT. A good rule of thumb is to try to submit applications before the nextLSATadministration. For example: If you take the JuneLSAT, you want to submit applications in September/October (before the OctoberLSATis given). If you take the OctoberLSAT, you want to submit applications in November/early December (before the DecemberLSATis given). If you take the DecemberLSAT, submit applications by the end of January (before the FebruaryLSATis given). If you take the FebruaryLSAT, you might be in big trouble! Ideally, you are not applying for the current year’s application season, but applying in the fall for the following year’s application season. If you end up doing well on theLSAT, you could potentially find a place at a law school that would love to have you, but it’s not a great strategy for getting into a reach school because the schools have waiting lists to go to at that point, if a spot opens up in the class. After submitting your applications, you should make sure the schools receive everything they need to render a decision. This is called “making sure your file is complete,” and it is your responsibility. After you do this, you should then expect to wait at least 4 weeks, and sometimes more than 4 months, for a response from law schools. Just because the schools say they will mail decisions by April 15 and require deposits by May 15, doesn’t mean you’ll have decisions back from schools. You should expect to find yourself on waiting lists (which can drag the process out into August). hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

Cross Country Star Committed to Reaching Goals

Cross Country Star Committed to Reaching Goals Cross Country Star Committed to Reaching Goals Zosia, 12-years-old, Math Level J Reading Program Completer Whether it’s a relay runner pushing through their leg of the race to pass the baton off to their teammate or a beginner who wants to improve their mile time â€" runners set goals to challenge themselves and strive for greatness. Runners often display tenacity, discipline and determination to focus on reaching the goals that lie ahead. 12-year-old Zosia also learned the importance of setting goals, both when shes running cross country and in the classroom. Just last year, she was the top performing runner on her middle school’s cross country team. Zosia continues to remain focused on the goals that lie ahead, and never lets any challenge get in the way. “I believe in myself and I’m competitive,” said Zosia. “Whether I am running, swimming, writing or solving math problems, I set my mind at being the best.” Zosia has proven to be far from your average student. At five, her test scores were off the charts, allowing her to skip kindergarten and landing her right into first grade. She was destined for success right from the start, and her story begins in Kumon. Zosia’s Kumon journey began when she was just three years old. She completed the entire Kumon Reading Program , which ends in analyzing high school literature, before entering the 8th grade. Zosia’s math skills have also proven to be above grade level as she’s already mastered algebraic concepts like exponential functions and quadratic equations. Zosia has even found time in her busy schedule to give back to the community. Having completed 123 hours of community service during the school year, she was recognized with the Outstanding Service Award. In 2018, she was awarded the first place prize in the Fond du Lac County Land Conservation Committee’s Conservation and Awareness Poster Contest. Zosia’s entry also took first place at the regional level advancing her to state. “I am proud of the way I use my intelligence, and have high hopes to become a neurosurgeon,” said Zosia. “I am proud that I don’t give into peer pressure because I know doing the wrong thing will block my way to reaching my goals.” What do you enjoy most about Kumon? I really enjoy working independently. Zosia shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe What’s the most beneficial thing you’ve learned in Kumon so far? Kumon has helped me overcome some difficult times in life. At times, it has been hard for me to make friends. Kumon has given me the knowledge to connect with other kids who share the same interests as me and enjoy math. I am also able to help my classmates get through difficult math exercises. How has Kumon helped you academically? Kumon has helped me academically because I was able to skip a full grade and move into High School Level Math as a Middle School student. I’ve also gained confidence in all subjects. If you could sum up your Kumon experience in one word, what would it be? Inspiring! Who is your biggest inspiration and why? I am inspired by my parents. They are very supportive and intelligent. They want what is best for me and they are always helping others to reach their full potential. What’s your favorite book and why? It’s hard to pick just one favorite, but I will say “Louisiana’s Way Home” by Kate DiCamillo. I love this book because there are many references to other books she has written. I think it’s so cool how she ties in so many books like, “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” and “The Magician’s Elephant” together in one story and building it into a new plot. I really like the plot because the main character Louisiana’s whole life has been a big lie. It’s interesting to find out the real story after her Granny sends her a note revealing the truth. It’s a must read! How did you feel when you found out you were selected to attend the 2019 Kumon Student Conference? I was amazed and overjoyed! I was so grateful to be accepted and had the support of my family! What was your experience like at the 2019 Kumon Student Conference, and what was your favorite part? The Student Conference was an inspiring experience! There are times when I’m overwhelmed by completing my work. Being in a room with like-minded peers who are in the same boat, gave me the motivation I need to complete the Kumon Math Program. I particularly enjoyed listening to Kiran’s story. I see myself in Kiran because I like to help others with their homework as well. What advice would you give to kids just starting Kumon? I know it can be difficult, but try to complete your work on your own before asking for help. You will be surprised by how much you can achieve! Discover even more student success stories.

An Open Letter To The Stanford Rape Case Judge

An Open Letter To The Stanford Rape Case Judge pixabay.com Sure, sentencing a young boy to years in prison wouldnt be the most fulfilling aspect of your job description, but that doesnt mean you simply dont do it. On a day that an innocent, broken down victim looked to you, trusted you, relied on you to do the right thing by her, on a day that America as a whole, looked to you to do exactly what needed to be done, you fell short. No, thats too forgiving. If Im being completely honest, you failed completely. And heres why: For one thing, rape is a serious crime thats all too often disregarded by our judicial system. Lack of proof and gray areas are just some of the reasons certain rape cases will never even make it to trial, while simple fear of reliving such a traumatic experience prevents even more victims from even reporting the crime. And what youve done in your sentencing does nothing but reiterate this concern to victims everywhere. What youve told victims is that their voice does not matter. Youve told them that their traumatic experiences, their recovery from this experience, and their fear something that oftentimes lasts the rest of their lives doesnt require justice to be served. Youve told them, and everyone else in the country, that a college athlete is above the law. What do you think the repercussions are going to be? You think that rapes are going to decrease now? You think that perpetrators are going to be afraid to commit this crime? Certainly not. All youve done is shown rapists the repercussions for their crimes arent going to be taken seriously. All youve done is taken away hope from victims and given it to their perpetrators. Whether purposely or not, this is what youve done. Let me fill you in on something that needs to be heard, not just by you, but by the entire system: athletes are not above the law. Athletes are people. And if theyve committed a crime, theyre a criminal. Their swimming time no longer applies their crimes do. A football player that murdered his wife is a murderer. A basketball player that robbed a bank is a thief. An Olympic gymnast that smuggles drugs, but that brought home the gold medal three times for the U.S., is still a smuggler. To put it into perspective for those that dont understand: athleticism does not make you immune to the law when you commit a crime. It just makes you an athletic criminal. I understand that the Stanford student was young. I understand he had a bright future ahead of him. But his actions are no ones fault but his own. One person, and one person alone ruined his future: him. Not sentencing a criminal because youre afraid of what it will do to them is laughably ignorant. Sure, this kid will come out mentally more stable than perhaps he would have otherwise. So what? What of the victims around the world who were silenced by your decision? All youve done is exchanged the well-being of one criminal for the well-being of innumerable innocents. As difficult as it is to be a judge to hand out sentences in the hopes that they are correct its astounding that such an unforgivable crime receives nothing more than a slap on the wrist. For the rape victims everywhere that are too scared to speak up, you are doing them no favors. Nobody should be put through this, and by handing out a light sentence, in a way, you are condoning this behavior if youre of a certain social status, or if youre an athlete. Its time to make a stand, to make an example out of someone that many would believe untouchable, but you instead did nothing to help the cause. Rape victims shouldnt have to go through such trials for such a minimizing outcome. This is exactly why victims arent speaking out against their assailants theyve been shown time and time again that their pain and suffering do not matter. That its their own fault, that even if they come forward, nothing is going to come from it. Its a sad reality, and thats exactly why now is the time for a change, and what better way to start than at the top? If you wont make an example of such privileged assailants who have no remorse, then we as a public have decided to make an example of you. The time for change is now no more waiting around for a change that we cant go on without. In the wake of this crime, youve let us down. And in all honesty, you wont be the last to do so. But we wont be silenced. We have a voice. The victim of this crime has a voice. And we are all going to start being heard. Like I said, its a time for change, whether the judicial system is ready or not. So thank you for your awful decision. Thank you because its made the rest of us stronger. Its brought light to an issue otherwise ignored. Thank you for your ignorance. Its made us stronger.
