  • @achen013 said: I am in a similar boat--high gpa but super low score...4.0 LSAC gpa, and a 147 LSAT score. I also decided to delay admissions for a year. Since you have the year, I would advise that you opt for a later test date throughout the…

  • @USER123456 said: I agree with @Alex Divine that you don't have a realistic chance at a T14. I disagree with some of his other points. My post won't be as nicely structured... 1. Maybe a 156 is the best you can do. I would try to hit the bo…
  • @smseraj3 said: @akistotle Thanks for your input. I will test this cycle and see if its worth it to retake, but im going to apply this cycle. I've written a strong PS and DS both of which are unique. I'll look into GT. Any other school…
  • @akistotle said: @smseraj3 said: @"Alex Divine" Im not a URM. I know my chances are super super slim but i don't think it'll hurt to apply ED. The worst they can tell me is no. I've posted this before but I have…

  • @dennisgerrard said: Finish as many PTs before PT8 releases. That's always an option, though, don't just burn through them. Take them as needed at a clip of one or two a week.
  • @cecilianieto95 said: I graduated from ASU Barrett, the honors college with a 3.91 and completed an extensive honors thesis. After taking a semester long Princeton review prep class that didn't seem to help my practice test scores at all, I go…
  • Duke and UVA will be out of play with those numbers, even considering ED. Are you a URM? My advice would be to retake the LSAT. If you want Duke or UVA it's best to aim at the high 160s or, better yet 170s, and have a chance at a decent scholarshi…
  • @username said: @"Alex Divine" Not really my point at all... obviously people get in below the 25% mark... which is why it's the 25% mark.... having an amazing personal statement, in isolation, is not going to convince a school to let you in.…

  • @johanna586 said: Will we be able to purchase the 7Sage explanations of PT 81 before September? I'm sure they will be available shortly after the test is available. JY was quite diligent with the explanations for PT 79. So I'm guessing that …

  • I keep promising myself to finally hunker down and get into a routine, but I found another job that I'm kind of enjoying and figured I may have to delay taking the LSAT yet again. Right now my routine is wake up around 6:30, get ready, work, eat, g…
  • LMAO @"Dillon A. Wright" 's meme game is the best on the internet. I am thoroughly convinced. I'm pretty sure my co-worker just saw me cracking up and thinks I've gone insane. Oh well!
  • @"lsat 1101" said: alex thank you, well said, and it helped me see things in a new way No problem! A lot of people tend to has misperceptions about what exactly the %tiles represent. Glad to be of some help! Kill the LSAT and write a kick-b…
  • @TiemyInLaw said: Thanks for the suggestion, it's really good to try something different. I solved the Einstein's Puzzle , but now I'm stuck on this one. I don't think it has a valid solution, though. Anyone was able to solve it? https://…
  • @LSATcantwin said: And it's a logic game.... If you want a fun puzzle that is something fresh from the LSAT try it out. https://www.brainzilla.com/logic/zebra/einsteins-riddle/ I've seen this before so I won't spoil it. It really i…
  • @username said: A better question would probably be whether or not that statistically matters. They probably do read it, as a matter of professionalism and course, but I think you'd have to have a pretty killer PS to make up for being more tha…
  • @TheLSAT said: Can you elaborate on your mistakes? What do you consider a "stupid" mistake? And when you narrow your answer choices down to two, why do you think you're selecting the incorrect one? Yes, also wondering this. The best universa…
  • @"Cant Get Right" said: I dunno. The new leadership has moved shockingly fast to implement a lot of highly consequential changes. Going digital is a sensitive process that has to be approached carefully and over time. I think the steps taken s…
  • @"lsat 1101" said: Hi, does anyone know for sure whether law schools even read your personal statement after seeing that your lsat score is not in their desired range? Yes, many schools (if not every school) claims to read every application…
  • I think all the webinars are extremely helpful no matter where you are at in your prep. They've helped me improve my skills, strategies, and motivation. I would say these are your best bet over discussion threads, just because they contain way more …

  • @"c.veneski" said: Im not all that sure how an admissions committee will view it but as a person seeing it I would be glad to see the determination to be better as a good sign of an individuals ability to thrive in law school This is somewha…
  • @RafaelBernard said: Northwestern only offers 150k for three years not a full ride. Their tuition is $61,784 per year. Just making sure you know that. Yes, absolutely great point! Still a great deal, but that extra money adds up!
