Applicant FAQ Forum
Re: Applicant FAQ
If you got a withdraw pass, then you lose nothing by sending it in and only gain a bunch. I say you should send it.

send it in. it can only help youremadrid17 wrote:Maybe I should know the answer to this question but I'll ask anyway...
When I was in school ( a little while ago) I withdrew from a class. Following summer I took that course along with some other courses at a local school area and got all A's.
A. Should I send the transcript in?
B. How much of a difference will it make on when LSAC calculates everything
or
C. Am I spinning my wheels for nothing
Thanks.

Hey,
At that time I was barely passing (due to a shitty teacher) and Withdrew on the last possible day. Thanks for the advice. I'm glad I'm not spinning my wheels---i hate that. :-p

Re: Applicant FAQ
I also believe you have to send it... they require all transcripts, even if you only attempted but did not complete.

Re: Applicant FAQ
Question about international transcripts: I studied abroad for a full school year (so 9 months) and am wondering if I have to submit the transcript? The grades are not listed on my official undergrad transcript, and it only lists the transfer credits. The study abroad school I attended graded very harshly (was in the UK) so I'd rather not have it included...

Re: Applicant FAQ
From your description it sounds like no, they won't count. The general answer is also no, but you should read the LSAC policy to be clear.freestallion wrote:Question about international transcripts: I studied abroad for a full school year (so 9 months) and am wondering if I have to submit the transcript?

As above- since it was all transfer credit I do not believe you do.

Re: Applicant FAQ
Not ragging on you, but no one in the law school admissions game really cares much about your master's degree. The grades don't matter and as a soft I've heard it's pretty useless, unless it's in EE.yoiav wrote:i am going to be getting my masters in june 2012 but i havent finished it yet. what do i do if i am applying now?

Re: Applicant FAQ
This might be a dumb question to some, haha but that's alright.
If I make my current address (at UG) different than my permanent address in my application will schools send materials to the current or the permanent?
For example, in Voluntary Personal Data, UPenn asks "Do we have your permission to provide this information" to school orgs and such who then may send more materials. If I click yes, I don't want that stuff sent to my house, I just want them sent to me at school... so that's my issue.
Any insight is very appreciated. Good luck to everyone starting their apps!

Re: Applicant FAQ
Quick Question
The Employment section of the application asks:
"2. Full-time employment experience
Total number of months "
Is this at time of application or matriculation? Also, any thoughts on whether we should count summer jobs for this?
Thanks!

Re: Applicant FAQ
Unless they specify otherwise, put at time of application. If you have serious doubts, call the school's admissions office and ask. I'd call and ask about the second part of that question anyway, but I'd have to be able to see the exact language they use to have a better idea.der_rechtsanwalt wrote:Quick Question

Quick question from an undergrad.
While looking through the Cornell website, I noticed this:

Re: Applicant FAQ
I suspect it's a clumsy way of saying were accepted (not all chose to attend)
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
