@BinghamtonDave said: Anyone care to delineate what is going on with Berkley on this list? Seems like quite a drastic drop. Berkley is my #1 school and what I am working towards getting into, so I always take note when I see them. Hmm... I…

Not surprised but also still kind of surprised. People have been talking about GT being knocked out of the T14 since like 2008, lol. Finally. Not that I care one way or another or it will matter THAT much.

@"nicole.ann.keim" said: How do you guys study full time? You mean you don't work at all? Well my personal journey to being able to study "full-time" was something like this. Sometime in September/October I realized there was no way I could…

@ScooterMinion said: I'm SO VERY HAPPY for you that you'll be able to give your LSAT studies full-time attention, @"Alex Divine"!!! I got the feeling you've wanted this for a long time! And here it is! I'll be following yours and many …

@"diya.jajal" said: @"Alex Divine" Thank you for your advice! You make very good points. No problem. I learned a lot of what I know from the wonderful sages on here and making my own mistakes with PTs too early.

@Mellow_Z said: I remember going back and forth with you on TLS last summer when I was committed to studying as well. Turns out my 60-70 hour work weeks made me sacrifice studying in a similar way that it seems like it plagued you. I ended u…

@poohbear 100% everything you said. I have a little work/office set up in my apartment where I study, but damn 8 hours will make you go stir crazy! thank you for the advice!

@westcoastbestcoast said: Hmm I actually thought of either working in finance or consulting before I began my LSAT journey, but unfortunately I struck out during those pesky case interviews . Working in Finance or IBanking would definitely be …

How are you with conditional logic? Getting really good and quick with it is imperative to do well on in and out games. They also used to be the bane of my existence, but I got much better as I began to truly get good with my conditional logic. So w…

I think finishing the CC first is generally best. Drill and do some of the problem sets as practice to learn and improve as you work your way through. Once you have completed the CC then begin to PT and blind review and review lessons and drill to f…

@akeegs92 said: @"Alex Divine" said: You have to sort of go "all in" sometimes and do a summer or two at a mid sized firm and hope for an offer, whereas big law firms tend to let you know upfront barring some major fuck up you'l…

@westcoastbestcoast said: Yes @"Alex Divine" , I'm definitely thinking of doing some law related job in order to build a network. I'm from Southern California and I may have some connections to attournies in public sector through family so app…

@westcoastbestcoast said: Hey @"Alex Divine". I really appreciate your optimism and you reminded me the importance of really thinking about your goals for law. I'll have to deeply assess my situation and goals to see if I can keep going. Thing…

Your potential is a 180. It is certainly potential(ly) possible ... It almost always comes down to a matter of time. 2.5 years is a long time prepping. If you want to keep going, I absolutely have ZERO doubt you can hit a 170. It might take another …

@akeegs92 said: @"Alex Divine" I'm pretty wide open right now with which part of law I want to do. I hope through networking I'll be able to narrow it down a bit. I've already started to tap in to the alumni network a bit too. Kelly Hart …

@combsni said: @akeegs92 @"Alex Divine" there are also some midsize firms that pay pretty well. For instance, in Detroit, Butzel Long starts people off at like a hundred and five or a hundred and ten thousand. Often, pay ranges from firm to fi…

@stepharizona said: I am moving into a similar full time mode, now that I am done teaching for the semester. Boo accelerated class for wrecking Feb for me however I ended up being really sick on what would have been test day, so I guess it all…

@ ilikephilosophy said: I've been studying "full-time" for about 6 months. Cold diagnostic was 146 with my last few PTs 165-167. Shooting for 170+ by June/September, and I've studied for probably an average of 4-5 hours a day at an average of …

@stgl1230 said: Just popping in to wish you the best of luck @"Alex Divine" . I think one of your posts was the first thing I saw when I joined 7Sage, so I know you've been at this a while. Not the advice you're looking for, but maybe jus…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Congrats Alex! I was working 60 hours/week for most of my study time leading up to my first two takes. Having the time to really commit to lsat was a game changer. More than 7Sage and more than the pressure of only havi…

@"Cant Get Right" said: So first, no, you can not add corrected confidence errors to your BR score. These errors are actually the worst errors you can make and you should give them additional weight and attention. For the level you're per…

P.S. Sorry to everyone for my constant grammatical and spelling errors on my comments. I swear I'm not that illiterate. I often sit up at night and answer from my iPhone/iPad and not a laptop/desktop. For some reason it tends to have me making more…

I listen to TONS of podcasts during my commute.work.home life. One I really like is Joe Rogan's podcast. HE usually has on some really interesting people. It's not my fav; but it's really opened my mind up to a a bunch of new people I've never heard…

@westcoastbestcoast said: Hey man, i appreciate the response. I saw your posts earlier on a previous thread talking about biglaw so i was hoping you would answer. I guess for lawyers theres no escaping big law if you want to make big money huh…

@westcoastbestcoast said: I apologize if this may sound like a stupid question but are there jobs for law graduates that pay six figures outside of BigLaw. Although unrelated, I was speaking with my 24 year old friend who is a compiler enginee…

This is something I would pay for the Admissions course/@david.Busis for. IT isn't a deal breaker, but like many C&F issues, wording and how you handle it is a BIG deal. The few hundred bucks now vs. 200k and no admission to the bar just doesn't…

@ something said: @"Alex Divine" Thanks for your answer! You definitely have some great points and info I wasn't sure of. I did just graduate from Texas A&M which boasts one if the elite alumni networks; extremely close knit and especially…

Hmmm this is a hard one because there are more state gov jobs in Mass/Boston, yet more competition for those said jobs. If you have no prob with living and staying in and around the midwest, I think Iowa at $$$ is a great choice. If Big Law isn't yo…
