Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Law School Job Market Is Now One Big Bet
Q: Sean asks about consistently breaking into the 170s, what should they do?
Focus on higher-quality practice, analyze wrong answers with a Socratic method, and consider starting tutoring early to build a strong foundation and avoid bad habits; a structured plan and regular practice tests are key.
The Law School Job Market Is Now One Big Bet
Q: Alex is asking, any advice on choosing between Pepperdine with LA big law placement and UCLA with more debt but better odds of big law?
The host suggests weighing tuition differentials, debt, and big-law outcomes for each school, encourages looking at ABA filings for specific data, and notes that staying local to LA can influence Pepperdine's relative advantage; the decision hinges on exact numbers and personal debt tolerance.
This Law School Pays You to Skip Georgetown
Q: Should I delay applications to improve the LSAT?
If practice tests show rising scores and you're close to a target, delaying can be worth it to achieve a higher score, which usually leads to better outcomes and could justify waiting a bit longer.
This Law School Pays You to Skip Georgetown
Q: Is 173 enough to get into WashU with a full ride?
It's strong, but it's technically below their 175 median, so a full ride isn't guaranteed; your GPA and overall profile matter for scholarship decisions.
This Law School Designed Your Scholarship to Disappear
Q: What is the best way to approach negotiating scholarship offers?
Bring strong, competing offers and demonstrated numbers (LSAT and GPA medians above the target school's medians) to create leverage, then request price matching or better terms based on those numbers.
