Darn you Harvard people!

No, I didn't get your feedback (reported!), but I just chalked it up to being busy with school. I got a bunch of feedback from LSD'ers and some lawyer friends, though!

I am going to the TX LSAC Forum tomorrow. I feel the love-- it seems like I'm getting "stop by table X" emails every 5 minutes!

The only challenge I ran into was setting up my targeted LORs for a few schools on my list-- these schools have their apps up, but the LOR target feature isn't working on 3 of my schools. I'll try it again next week or call Tech support.

Alright kids, what should I do about Bar/Bri and the multi state PMBR thing. If the money isn't an issue, which I don't think it would be, should I go ahead and register or whatever?

YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I took Barbri and the 3 day PMBR. I know people who did both PMBR (6 day and 3 day) and they liked both of them. I felt pretty good about just doing the 3 day. You can save some major money by registering early...although with this Barbri lawsuit prices may end up going down eventually. haha.

Absolutely sign up for Barbri now, particularly since you'll get some nice outline books that will help for first year. Barbri at my school also did programs during first year and on as reviews for various classes.

PMBR... ehhhhh. I did the 3 day, and thought it was sort of a waste. HOWEVER, the books are worth it, but you can buy them on ebay or from a recent grad (probably fliers around your law school selling them)

I read this on the "barely legal blog" by a law student and thought it was hilarious-- reposting it here:

Wearing Greek letters in law school doesn’t make much sense. Why announce to the world you are an elitist in an institution full of them?

He's got some pretty funnny stories about law school: http://barelylegalblog.blogspot.com/

I've gotten my first "You've gone complete" notice! Yay!

I did not do PMBR but did Barbri. Most of my friends who did PMBR said it was a waste of money. My multistate score was high, so I don't think it matters as long as you put in the work. But, lock in Barbri.

The funny thing is, since I'm in California, I have no idea about the score I received on the multistate! I thought PMBR was very helpful because prior to PMBR i was narrowing the answers down to 2 and then picking the wrong answer. It really gave me a kick in the ass and made me stop doing it....so it must have helped my score!

otter-

too funny. i was the same way with torts questions until my husband staged an intervention and then i hosed him on our scores.

(funny that torts, often thought of as the easiest, was killing me)

Awesome, congratulations! It does feel good to get that first notice.

Apparently, I'm a little weird because I really like Civil Procedure. Part of it is because my professor is absolutely awesome, but I definitely like the subject. Even the FRCP...

I liked it too, but that's because I had a good professor as well. I actually also felt like it was one of my best subjects when studying for the bar. Maybe I only like what I'm good at...LOL.

I'd suggest at the very least doing the 3 day so you can have sat through a full MBE under test-taking conditions.

I did Barbri, 3 day pmbr and the 6 day. I didn't pre-register for either- since the firm was paying pre-registering wasn't so important.

If money is no issue, why give Barbri your money early? Heck- put it in a CD and let it make money for you.

shinerbock · #**255** 10-06-2006, 10:51 AM

Yeah, I didn't lock in the price, I'm not really worried about it.
