URM 2013-2014 Cycle Thread

[twenty]

I thought it only appropriate to get this party started with creating an official thread for the upcoming cycle. With applications down, a pending Supreme Court ruling and the general unpredictable nature of URM admissions, I am looking forward to seeing what’s in store for the year ahead.

EDIT> Cycle results will be posted here in July or so.

What’s CLEO?

Made a couple fatal mistakes last cycle. Hopefully this cycle will be slightly different. ;D

@Xixak

What’s CLEO?

Council on Legal Education Opportunity, a nonprofit organization focused on helping disadvantaged URMs gain access to law schools.

More info below:

They have a variety of seminars and a six-week program throughout the year. They include ASAP (Achieving Success in the Application Process), AIE (Attitude is Essential), and the CLEO Summer Institute for students already admitted to law school.

I had followed your previous cycle. I am hoping the same for you .Are you planning to keep or re-take the LSAT?

[Mojosodope]

Will be sitting for the LSAT in Oct, and applying this cycle.

Goodluck everyone

You’re retaking a 171? Assuming you can improve, you’ll be enjoying New Haven next year. Good luck with that, man!

[Typhoon24]

Took June, waiting on results. Hoping I don’t have to retake.

Good luck everyone else

Tag. I will be sitting in October and applying this cycle as well.

Excited about the upcoming cycle, hopefully I feel that way when I get my June score back.

I know some already sat for the June LSAT and are awaiting results. I am scheduled to sit in October. I already have most of my application components prepared, will be attending CLEO ASAP next month and the National Black Pre-Law Conference in Houston later in the year. Who else is applying? Good luck to all! Hope our cycle is as epic as the last.

What Supreme Court Ruling are you referring to?

I didn’t study right the first time and and I’m only at a 3.5/3.6 GPA so I want to maximize my chances.

Thanks!

Hopefully applying this cycle if the LSAT score is right. Doing everything I can to make that happen. I plan to sit for the October exam.

[mono172000]

Definitely applying this cycle. Took the LSAT a couple years back, but will probably take another swing at it October for good measure.

[biznardos]

Moving to Spain for the year to teach and reapplying! Just took the June LSAT…

Unfortunately, I’m maxed out until next June. I’m fairly happy with my 166, though I don’t think that’s where my problem was.

[Quan292]

I’m applying this cycles after applying for the 11-12 cycle and not getting the results I wanted. Fingers crossed to get that extra push this time around. Thinking about retaking lsat in october as well.
