I wouldn't say relatively swift financial freedom. Unless you are a doctor or in the medical field
Financial freedom is subjective, but I think it's a bit ridiculous to suggest doctors quickly achieve anything.

From your posts, I've gotten that impression that you're a genuine and kind person. I'm happy to hear that you got into UCLA, and I wish you luck on the rest of your applications.
Your score is great. If I were in your position, I would casually study during the summer. If I saw my PT average was above 173, then I would sign up for a fall examination.

@10000019, Interesting. Thanks for mentioning this. How would someone find the time to study for both exams if they wanted or needed to get them both in before law school? I know some people who did it after getting JDs.

I think both; I'd vote for doing one (probably raising your LSAT) then doing the other one a year or two later.

Are you trying to start law school in the upcoming fall semester? Are you looking at full time or part time programs? Is receiving a scholarship an important factor? What schools are you looking at?
Your LSAT score is low and it's late in the appli…

Yes. I've sent in all of my applications.
Yeah I've got no idea then. LSN self-reported data doesn't have many people similar t…

so I can practice taking exams either in the summer or earlier in the semester.
Have any reputable sources recommended that? I would do something similar for undergrad. But I've heard from a handful of people not …
I don't have experience with any of those courses. Like you, I'd like to be prepared heading into 1L. I've heard that those courses are a waste of money. I'm still tempted to buy one myself.
My suggestion is to take advantage of any libraries you h…
Those online calculators are garbage. They use outdated and self-reported data. I doubt you're going to find a meaningful answer here or even from a professional consultant.
For the traditional applicant it's already vague how decisions are made. W…
I have a lot of free time before starting 1L...
These are the books I've read so far:
(1) 1L of a Ride: A Well-Traveled Professor's Roadmap to Success in the First Year of Law School (Career Guides) (3e)
(2) The Elements of Legal Style (2e)

I don't think there is a meaningful way to answer your question. "[G]ood chance of acceptance" is vague. You didn't mention the specific school you were interested in.
I think that giving yourself a few week time constraint is stressful. It’s an important part of your ?apps and there’s no reason to put a time constraint on it.
We don't know when the OP is applying to schools. I fast tracked my PS because I wa…
I provided my ethnicity. The way individual schools treat ethnicity isn't clear. If you choose to decline to answer, I speculate that there are no advantages.

I'm not going to lie to you, it's going to be an uphill battle. You probably have a better shot of winning the lottery than taking the September 2017 LSAT.

Why do you think that? I got my PS done in exactly two weeks. I'm not an experienced writer either.
I think if you give yourself sufficient time, and have som…

Hi @10000019,
If I'm understanding your question correctly, would you like to comment on the pages of the paid material (explanations) without the access to them?
Yes.
" I do not have much on my resume to back up my reasons for going to law school,"
Neither did I. Don't worry about that.
If you're still in school, chances are you have access to a free writing center. For less than $200, you aren't going to find …

How many LoR's can you have? Can you have a number sitting with Lsac, and then pick from them which ones to apply to which school application?
Yes
What were your sectional scores? I never did the reading CC. I think you should do the reading CC, but I don't think you should put everything else on hold while you work through that. If reading isn't killing your score, then I would suggest starti…
