@westcoastbestcoast Thanks! I do think I'll be able to put together a compelling application and my numbers will be strong enough. It's definitely not exactly a common career path for people in my field so it's encouraging to hear success stories.

I suppose my concern with taking my first LSAT undisclosed is I wouldn't have the option to see where I went wrong and work on those in case I need to retake in September. But I do think that it's best to be prepared than to ru…
@a97889 Good luck to you too! We'll crush it
It's definitely great to run into someone with a similar path to mine!
I personally say if you feel prepared in July, there's absolutely no reason not to go for it.
Hi! I am also planning on taking July. I don't think there's any reason to worry, it should be just as reliable as any other administration. I think taking July is definitely smart if you aren't finished CCing yet (I'm not either).
Sounds like ou…

Hmmmm.... sounds like an answer to one of the LR questions. I'm not sure which one though.
Definitely flaw: a non-representative sample. haha
@BrianSeo Yes! haha. I have just been wo…

Just noticed that line above - and lol'ing at the thought of floating your way through music school. I don't even know how that would be possible! haha.
There's definitely been no floating! haha
@"nessa.k13.0" thanks, definitely! I have some strong academic experience on the analytical/theoretical side of things, so I definitely want to stress all of that in my application. When you say people were curious about your theatre degree, do yo…

Holla! Yes, music major here! Yay I love music people.
I’ve only heard back from about half of my schools and the ones I haven’t heard back from yet are the higher ranked ones. So it’s a little tough to say definitively…

I believe @"Leah M B" was a music major....!
@akistotle thanks! @"Leah M B" would love to hear your thoughts if you have the chance! I've seen some of your posts recently and it looks like you've had some awesome success thi…

My undergrad was in Interior Design. Although my program was more about interior architecture, I am definitely concerned that my major sounds like a fluffy one without much rigor. Unfortunately what many people think when the…
I'm also in favor of reading the question stem first. I struggled with LR for a long time and once I started using 7sage's methods, including reading the question stem first, I started to improve a lot. I'm sure it's a lot to do with personal pref…
Congrats on your acceptance! I definitely don't want to discourage you from going to graduate school, but I have some perspective to share on this just as food for thought.
I am currently about halfway through grad school and working toward my Mas…
@"Cant Get Right" I am doing all of the problem sets. Did you go back through after you finished the CC and do the problem sets you saved initially? Also, which ones did you save? I find the hardest sets are the ones that help me improve the most, …
@"Alex Divine" Yeah, I have started skipping explanation videos for the ones I immediately get right but if I find myself confused or lingering on a question at all then I still find the explanation video helpful.
@"Seeking Perfection" thanks! that's what I'm thinking. There are definitely plenty that I get right but I'm not totally sure why or I spent a long time on, so the explanations are definitely helpful for those.
I just started the 7sage CC after having been through all of the Powerscore bibles and the trainer. 7sage's logic lessons are FAR superior to those in the LR bible, so if that's your weakness then I'd definitely suggest 7sage. I honestly felt like …
@"Cant Get Right" I'm currently averaging about 168 and I really want to be at least at 170 on test day (preferably around 172-3). So I definitely still have work to do. I definitely think I need to be doing PTs or at least full sections quite a b…
@kimmy_m66 That's great, congrats on your score!!
@"Seeking Perfection" That actually sounds like a really smart idea, I think I'll definitely give 2 in a day a shot. I may be able to squeeze in another mid-week PT beyond that but I like the idea …
@kimmy_m66 Did you feel like you were comfortable enough on the December test? I think I may try a similar strategy to yours.
@pioneer321 So far I've only been circling and reviewing those, but that could be an interesting strategy to try.
The gen…
@"Cant Get Right" that's a great point. My main thought process in doing that many was just to get used to the timing of the test and sitting and focusing for that long, since that's a challenge for me. I was going to do about 3 per week starting …
Thanks for the advice, everyone!
@10000019 what I failed to mention is that I've already used a handful of those PTs (52-57 and 62-64), so no I won't be doing 30 tests between now and Feb! I feel like I'm going to be ready to take the test in Feb …
