When can we register for classes?

Any updates wave 2 applicants?

Later applicant, have had 4 date changes but still “in review”. Stats are iffy but don’t wanna put them out there.

Anyone else? I’m wondering if the 4 date changes are a good or bad thing.

One of my goals for the summer is to get my wardrobe in working order. I already work in the legal field so I have a good amount of dress clothes, but at the open house for my Flex Program they mentioned they would try to have networking events during our in-person weekends.

Has anyone who has done a hybrid program (specifically, Seattle U) have any insights on this? If I can go more comfy I want to since the day will be long but I’m also ready to dress to impress if I need to.

I applied to Dayton 3/10/26. Stats: JD Next score only - 815 (88% percentile), undergrad GPA 3.67. Currently in an MBA program at Purdue Fort Wayne and have worked in law firms for 13 years. Three LORs from lawyers. I’m in absolute agony waiting…like please just put me out of my misery already! I didn’t realize the “priority” deadline was actually the late deadline…I emailed late last week and they said my app was with the admissions committee. I feel like I’m just going to get waitlisted… Panicked and applied to Cleveland State last week too. Anyone else still waiting?

OMG I am in shock. I had written this school off as there is no way after I got on the waitlist. The costs were high as well but I got a good scholarship. Wow wow wow!

154 LSAT, 3.85 ugpa, 3.94 masters gpa, 9 years law work experience, T3 softs.

Are there any hybrid online law school program graduates that finished law school in their 40's that are still lurking on this thread that may have insight into what hiring looked like at that age? Was there a significant amount of career services involvement or recruitment in their programs? What type of law did they go into directly out of school? I have 10 years in academia as a tenured faculty member, and two master's degrees (one in information science, and one in software engineering) and trying to see what things looked like for career changers in their late 30's or early 40's at the time of graduation.

Hello. Is anybody currently waitlisted for the JDi program? I was admitted last year, and couldn't attend because of financial reasons. Unfortunately, I was waitlisted this round. Anybody have any idea when they might start doing big waves of pulls off the waitlist?

10+ years WE / 159 LSAT / 2.9 GPA

Hopefully slots open up!

I'm in NYC and am starting the process of preparing to apply for law schools. Originally I wanted to apply for '27 but will probably apply for '28.

A hybrid or online program would be amazing for me. It would be so helpful to be able to keep my part-time job, and I have 3 kids. However, I will want to sit for the NY bar and it seems that some people are denied that. What has everyone's experience been?

Mostly rejections this week which is interesting.

I received a financial aid email that included my SUID and instructions on activating NetID and accessing MySlice.

I’ve yet to receive an acceptance or scholarship email and my LawHub status hasn’t been updated.

What does this mean? Is an A on the horizon?

My boyfriend just received news today that he was offered a spot on their WL which he took. We’re trying to gauge his options so I wanted to ask - has anyone has been on SW waitlist in the past or currently?
Realistically - what is movement like on their WL?
I see a lot of people on this sub mentioning withdrawing their A

Despite getting accepted to a few places, I decided to put off applying for a cycle to improve LSAT and apply earlier in the cycle. Now that I've spent a uear working things out and getting more familiar with different programs. I had a question.

I live in Ohio. Within driving distance of Case and Dayton. I have to do online /part time simply so I can work at survive. I plan on staying in Ohio after I finish. That being said ia it better to aim for those two schools or to try for higher ranked schools like Arizone state or Northeastern?

If I do take an out of state school, what resources do they usually have to help me get internships etc. Is it just better to go to a lower ranked school that has local connections?

Hello,

I’m considering attending an online JD program next year and would like to better understand how these programs typically work.

For asynchronous programs, is most of the coursework delivered through platforms like Canvas, where lectures can be watched on your own schedule?

I’m also curious about how exams are handled. For multiple-choice or written exams, are students usually recorded through software similar to the LSAT Argumentative Writing section, or are exams monitored live by a proctor?

For written exams specifically, are they generally open-book or open-notes, and are they still recorded while being completed?

Any other information would be helpful.

I know I am no super star but I am genuinely disappointed they waitlisted me.

I have 8 YOE I am a Software Manager in a big tech company in Seattle.

Is this yield protection or do I just suck lol

0L and trying to get my workspace set up for the many many hours of school I have in front of me over the next few years. I work a full time job, which is WFH primarily, so realizing that I probably need to invest in a high quality chair and desk as the very least. Any other ergonomic tools? Law school specific desk stuff?

For the people that are doing a part-time online program, do you work?

I just got my schedule for my L1 fall semester. Eleven credits from Late August to Early December. I am assuming this to be about 35 hours a week in classwork and studying.

I currently work 40-45 hours a week, and while I was planning on keeping my job and going to school, I am not questioning that because I don’t know if I will be able to make that work.

Do you guys recommend trying to find something part time? What do you guys do and how do you balance that with law school?

Where can I apply late in the cycle?159 lsat, 3.3 GPA with strong upward trend, extensive work experience. I was unable to take the lsat until April due to illness, so I know I am very late. Applied to Dayton and Mitchell Hamline.

Exactly how many semesters is the online program? Can one cut it down by taking more creds a semester?
