Worry about the test first. Because none of it matters right now. Until you get the offers in your hand, focus only on the test.
I agree with this. No point in speculating now.
I don't think it's common to notate the argument structure for every question in a timed test. If you watch the videos where JY takes the test timed, he doesn't do that.
Your approach is fine. But you may want to observe whether notating those word…

Hey I don't have much to say about the ordeal you went through, but I wanted to wish you luck next cycle. I feel like this transcript issue definitely is what kept you back. I applied ED to a T14 school around the same time you did with a slightly l…

They only care about 3 things: LSAT, GPA, race. Trust me. Law school is a business and the above 3 factors count the most because they influence school's rankings.
I'm assuming that wasn't a hyperbole. Softs can be a huge fa…

@LSATcantwin With the exception of Harvard and Colombia, my gut feeling is that those schools think you're going to get swept up by a higher ranked school.

For the record, when I said "what if it is true?" I wasn't attempting to refer to her exact claims. I was referring to the general sentiment that one group is performing well below the average. I don't think the Dean's remarks refuted that. The per…

Go ahead and ask. I think you could:
1) Tell them you're unlikely to attend unless the scholarship offer is higher.
2) Some schools still have applications open. Apply to schools where you're likely to get a significant scholarship. Use those scho…
