Article: A great way to get insight into the admissions process and life at Harvard Law is to contact current students. The Harvard Law admissions office will be happy to put you in touch with a student who will share their experience. You can call them at 617-495-3179, or email them at jdadmiss@law.harvard.edu. Harvard Law uses rolling admissions, so according to the dean, there is an advantage to applying early before too many of the places are filled. The application typically goes live in late September. For the best chance of getting in, you should be ready to submit your application then or shortly thereafter. You will apply at LSAC website. You'll want to start early in order to acquire recommendations, complete the LSAT on time, and make sure your personal statement and resume are as good as you can make them. The application consists of 7 mandatory parts: A fee of $85 The application form Your resume A personal statement Your LSAT scores 2-3 recommendation letters. (At least one should be from an academic. If you have been out of school for a long time, you may submit non-academic recommendations, or consider taking extended education college courses to get to know a professor.) Character and Fitness Questions (to determine eligibility for the bar upon graduation) An interview (granted to approximately 1,200 applicants) Harvard Law strives to admit a diverse mix of students. A diversity statement gives you a chance to place your achievements in the context of your background and to make a case for how you would increase diversity on campus. Particularly if there are discrepancies in your application, such as a low GPA and high LSAT, consider including an addendum to explain them, preferably in a way that turns a weakness into a strength. For example, if you had low undergrad GPA, you might address it up front, and explain that between working your way through school and your commitment to an extracurricular (sports, student government, debate, etc.), it was difficult to maintain your grades, but you learned valuable things from these other experiences.

Problem: Article: To play Solitaire, you will need a traditional 52-card pack of standard playing cards. Open your pack and discard the instruction and Joker cards. Before you start dealing, shuffle the cards a couple of times to make sure that the deck is all mixed up. Deal the first card and place it face up on your left-hand side. Then, deal six more cards face-down in a row to the right of this card so that each card has its own spot. When you are finished, you should have seven cards total. The first one on the left should be facing up and the other six should be facing down. The cards that you are dealing are called your "Tableau." These are the main cards that you will use to play solitaire. When you are finished dealing all of the cards, your Tableau will look similar to an upside down staircase. Next, you will need to deal six more cards onto the stacks. Place the first card face up on the second stack of cards from the left. Then, deal one card face down card onto each of the stacks moving to the right. Starting with the third stack over from the left, deal one card face up. Then, deal four more cards facing down on each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Starting with the fourth stack over from the left, deal one card face up onto this stack and then deal three cards facing down. Place one card onto each of the stacks to the right of this stack. Count over to the fifth card from the left in your row of seven card stacks. Deal one card facing up on this stack and then deal one card facing down onto each of the two stacks to the right. Next, count over to the sixth stack from the left and deal one card facing up onto this stack. Then, deal one card facing down onto the stack to the right of this stack. This stack should be the last one in your row of seven. There should only be one stack left that does not have a face up card on it. This stack should be all the way on the right of your Tableau. Deal one card onto this stack facing up. Now this stack should have six cards facing down and one on top that is facing up. After you have dealt this last card, your Tableau is complete! Dealing the Tableau is the hardest part of setting up solitaire, so the next part will be easy.
Summary: Shuffle the deck. Deal seven cards in a row. Skip the first card and then deal six cards. Count over to the third card and then deal five cards. Deal four cards starting with the fourth stack. Skip the first four cards and deal three. Count over to the sixth card and then deal two. Deal one last card face up.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will not be able to reduce your payments if you continue to accumulate more debt. Figure out a budget you can stick to, and avoid using credit credit cards, taking out loans, or taking on any other form of debt. Take some time to track your spending habits, so you can see where your money is going. Try hard to to stick to your budget and avoid living beyond your means. Limit how often you eat at restaurants. Prepare meals ahead of time and bring your own lunch. Limit superfluous expenditures. Consider cancelling streaming services or moving to a lower data plan on your phone. Avoid making any large purchases until you can successfully reduce your debt. Contact each of your credit card companies and/or loan providers and ask if you can work out a new repayment plan. Doing this may help you avoid late fees and default, while lowering your monthly payment. You might say, "I am no longer able to make these payments successfully. I would like to create a new repayment plan, so that I don't fall behind." Many creditors offer special plans for individuals experiencing economic hardship. Sometimes these plans will require you to close your account. Although it may seem counterintuitive, paying more now will allow you to have lower payments later. If it all possible, try paying more than the minimum amount due. The best way to lower your monthly payments is to reduce what you owe overall. One method for getting out of debt involves prioritizing your highest interest debt. To do this, figure out which of your debts holds the highest interest rate. Pay only the minimum monthly amount on all of your other debts, and put as much money as you can toward your highest interest debt, until it is paid off. Once your highest-interest debt is paid off, move on to the debt with the next highest interest rate.

SUMMARY: Reduce your credit spending. Work out a long-term repayment plan. Make larger payments now. Use the "waterfall method" of debt repayment.

At random intervals, or if practicing with your team or friends, at the signal of a whistle, execute a jump step. On whichever foot you stop or the leading foot when the whistle blows, drive downward with that foot and perform a small hop. Alternate which foot you drive with to build symmetry and prevent the predictability of favoring your dominant side. Remember to use proper stance: keep your knees bent, body low, and head up. You should switch between sides so that you aren't predictable to your opponents. You should practice coming to a complete stop following the pivot to limit traveling calls. If you had possession of the ball prior to performing this move and have already used your pivot, you may not pivot a second time following your hop.

Jog slowly down the court. Drive with your leading foot. Land on both feet simultaneously. Pivot once.
