I also got about 5 or 6 postcards and several emails from Liberty, the most recent starting with an epigraph: "Dear Mr. BVest, Robert Frost wrote of a traveler, 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood…' You too stand at the crossroads of an equally important decision. As you evaluate law schools, I encourage you to keep your ultimate goal in mind. Why attend a law school that will only teach you to pass the bar when you could attend a law school that will also provide the tools for a long and successful career?
I think they're lazy and show a significant lack of creativity or experience in writing. Those of you who are thinking of using an epigraph for your personal statement, don't. They want to know what you have to say, not Robert Frost. Though apparently it would work for people in Liberty's admissions office. Good grief. They didn't even come back to the metaphor to tell me I should take the one less traveled by. If they only wanted to convey that I stood at a crossroads, they could have quoted a blues song.
Not that I have much in common with Liberty anyway, but seriously? Last edited by BVest on Sat Jan 27, am, edited 1 time in total.

Yeah, there's tons of worthless emails from schools you've never heard of, but you could also get fee waivers to schools you'd already be applying to.
I saved a couple hundred bucks and all three of the schools I ended up choosing between in the end were ones that I got fee waivers from and I might not have considered them if it weren't for the waivers. I was wary of the idea at first because I've seen similar things for undergrad that were useless, but I'm glad I signed up for it. That is saving a ton of money. LSAC creates and administers the LSAT and serves as a clearinghouse for everything you will submit to schools as part of your application.
Below are the three registrations you should consider now. Your LSAC account will be the home for every aspect of your application process, including registering for and taking the LSAT, uploading transcripts and letters of recommendation, accessing each application and ultimately submitting all your applications.
Click here to create an LSAC account. CAS allows you to send external application materials to LSAC for verification, summarization and electronic transmission and to submit completed applications electronically. Law schools are then empowered to reach out to you with information about themselves, and sometimes application fee waivers! CRS registration is optional. The single most important criterion for law school admission is the LSAT score, so it is important to create a game plan to prepare for and take the LSAT.
Below we outline the key factors in determining your own LSAT plan. But even if the school is trying to boost their selectivity: so what? Should I start calling law schools?
No one wants to read that off to you over the phone. Email instead, but not right now see 2 below. Or two weeks. LSAC prioritizes informing candidates about their LSAT scores before sending score information to schools, so you are going to receive your score at least a day or two before the school can see your score in the CRS database. Sometimes it may take four or five days if scores come out right before the weekend. Plus, the school might not run their query the instant that the CRS database is updated.
Maybe scores come out on a Thursday, but the school runs their query weekly every Monday. Ok, yes, but now you should treat it like a solicited fee waiver. See our advice in Part 2 of this series for just how to handle that situation! Now, we will address a few questions applicants may have about unsolicited merit-based fee waivers: If I receive a merit-based fee waiver, does that mean that I will definitely be admitted?
I waited two weeks and still no fee waiver. Can I email now?
