[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi my kid just graduated undergrad and took the LSAT.  I am a lawyer but nearly 30 years since I graduated.  She got an interview request from Wash U saying interview before your LSAT comes back.  I don't recall this solicitation campaign when I applied to law school but I was lucky to get in anywhere with my GPA and LSAT lol--lucky the law schools didn't get a restraining order in my case.

Is this a thing?  She got a lot of solicitations when applying to undergrad but I recall for undergrad it was basically to boost the school's stats.  If it helps, her LSAT is unknown but she went to a lower tier Ivy (Dartmouth, Brown, or Cornell).  Has near perfect grades (close to 4.0).  Assume they asked for her school and GPA when she registered for the LSAT with LSAC.

Thoughts?  Appreciate the help.  [/quote]

OP, you say she graduated? just this year? what is she planning on doing in the interim should she want law school? It should have an "oomph" factor as mentioned above. And I assume you know that applicants today use coaches or prep services for a year or more? And that applicants sometimes take the LSAT several times? (you can write off one bad score if you act within a certain time frame). It's nothing like when you and I just purchased or borrowed test prep books and went in and took the exam. Several of my mentees used Spivey. [b]My DD used a private coach. Also be aware that the LSAT is dropping logical reasoning this which is a boon to those not good at logical reasoning[/b][/quote]

Oh, FFS. The mommies are out here spreading all kinds of inaccurate information. The LSAT is most definitely not "dropping logical reasoning" -- and if you are "not good at logical reasoning" you have no business in law school. [/quote]
