If my brother wants to go to law school this fall? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?

He took LSAT last May. When he will recieve the decision from university whether he has been accepted or rejected.





I am talking about 20 top law schools in the country.





Thank you so much.If my brother wants to go to law school this fall? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
When did he submit his applications? The date he took the LSAT doesn't matter if he submitted his applications after taking the LSAT (and if he took the LSAT last may, he must have applied last fall, and not the fall before lsat, right?)





So, in what month did he send in his complete applications.





Responses can be as fast as 3-4 weeks, or as long as 4-5 months, at the top 20 schools.





You can get a fast acceptance if your GPA and LSAT are clearly high for the school, or you can get a fast rejection if your GPA and LSAT are clearly below the school's standards. But if your stats fall somewhere ';in the middle,'; then it takes longer because the law school will wait to see what other students are applying to them before they decide on your application.





Of course, essays, extracurriculars, and recommendations also matter, and can speed up your application (if they are very good or bad) or slow it down (if they are very average--again, the school waits to see other candidates). But LSAT and GPA matter most.





So, it's not possible to determine exactly when law schools will respond to you; it depends how you compare to the other applications they received.





When I applied to law school a couple of years ago, I got into Duke, Columbia, and Harvard within 3-4 weeks of completing my application. However, it took 5 months for me to get into Stanford, and I was also rejected from Yale and U Penn ) about 5 months after applying.If my brother wants to go to law school this fall? 10 points for the best advice.

lawyer suck. they get paid to do nothing
IIRC--and I'm not sure I do--decisions arrived in April.





Check the websites of several of the places he applied to. They may say when decision notices are mailed.
He did submit applications last fall in addition to taking the LSAT, yes? They're not just going to look at his score; they need to read his essays, too.





That said, assuming he did send everything in, I don't know that it looks very good for him if he hasn't heard anything yet. My friends who are applying for 2008 already have several offers to choose from, plus some rejections and waitlistings.
The words ';If my brother wants to go to law school this fall?'; is meaningless. It is not a question and no one can decipher what you want. Try again
It really depends on his LSAT scores. Some of the law schools also require a letter of recommendation from one of his previous professors. Keep your fingers crossed that he will be accepted.
