<p><em>blush</em> sorry.</p>
<p>lol that's funny...all over the word dialect....or dialectic....</p>
<p>Hey noodle, with those stats and that essay, unless you've become an "axe murderer" ;) you're in. </p>
<p>Just curious, what are you planning to major in?</p>
<p>Thanks! <em>sharpens brand-new axe</em></p>
<p>well, neuroscience if i can get into the program. (They only take 25 students.) if not, Psych with a concentration in neuro and cognition.</p>
<p>Then a joint JD/MA bio ethics.</p>
<p>Then i'm gonna sleep.</p>
<p>my friend did Law at UVa and is now doing Med at Chapel Hill for Bio-ethics. It looks like UVa Law is now top 10 (according to US News).</p>
<p>I believe UVa's law school is ranked #9 in US news. In-state students have a pretty strong advantage here because 40% of UVa Law's students are residents of the commonwealth (last year there were roughly 5,700 out of state applicants vs. 870 in-state...pretty good odds). I definately plan on taking advantage of this as a VA resident...lets just hope my LSATs go smoothly. Noodle, have you taken the LSAT yet?</p>
<p>no. and i am not looking forward to it. got any tips?</p>
<p>Begin studying as soon as possible and no less than 2-3 months prior to your exam. I have already started and I dont plan on taking the LSAT until the fall of my senior year (about 1.5 years away). Def. take powerscore (the course) if you can afford the $1000...and on that note, the LSAT is a very learnable test (but admin officers do not like the idea that you can basically buy a 160+ so they will tell you otherwise).</p>
<p>any correlation between sat and lsat scores? verbal? math? just curious...</p>
<p>The only correlation between the LSAT and the SAT that i'm aware of is that your LSAT score is just an SAT score w/ a 1 added at the beginning and a 0 dropped at the end (ie. 145 lsat score=450 sat score). Aside from their general comprehensive skills they're design to measure, they are very different (LSAT basically is intended to give the admin boards a feeling for how you will do your first year in law school...where as your undergraduate record gives them a better idea of your verbal/mathematical skills).</p>
<p>rats. i wuz hopping dat bicuz i talk inglish rilly gud and cann due maf rily gud espshully longe divizhun thatt itt wud helpe mee doo rily gud onn da LSAT.</p>
<p>yeah, you should probably start studying.</p>
