  • @Canadian said: So in my statement, I write about contacting a high profile player agent when I was younger to ask for advice on the path I should take. He is not a nobody, he is one of the top agents in the NHL and actually graduated from one…
  • @alwaysstudying1827 said: I have no official vaca days and I am too scared to risk it with a last minute sick day. I can’t do a drs note either since the test will last till about late afternoon and if its anything like my last one I will be a…
  • @cynnnnnn said: @"Alex Divine" @"Leah M B" @"Seeking Perfection" @tanes256 follow up question...do you guys have any recommendations for a 6-month study plan? I'm not sure how long it takes to go through the CC, but I'm estimating 1-2 months b…
  • @"Adam Hawks" said: There is the June 2018 BR Study Group that you can join. Sign up for the group and meet some of the people there and then you can find some buddies through the group. Yeah! Check out our group for the June 18' LSAT. We m…
  • @"andrew-4" said: @"Seeking Perfection" said: @"andrew-4" said: I've got a 3.94 out of WashU, and a 171 LSAT, currently finishing my senior year and applying in the next week. These normally seem like pretty safe …
  • @"Jonathan Wang" said: How many of you bought a spare copy of an LSAC publication for the express purpose of mangling it when frustrated? Be honest. I bought PTs 52-61 & 62-71 hardcopy just to rip up... ... and now life steps in. My …

  • @kimmy_m66 said: @"Alex Divine" Yeah that would be ideal. I'm not applying until next year, and said as much in my email, but I'm still giving a deadline of Feb. 28th. I think still giving a deadline is a good idea. I think I made up an arb…
  • @kimmy_m66 said: Took a class this past semester and I really clicked with the prof. I'm hesitant to email her until next semester begins because I know some professors keep (and deserve to keep) strict, operating-hours only timelines for chec…
  • @kimmy_m66 said: I think the intuition has to be built upon. If doing untimed drills/sections, I would diagram everything. This way you're keeping yourself on your toes. On the real exam, I would only diagram for ~2 questions. For one of …
  • @klkForver said: So I scored a 169 LSAT, but due to a really low GPA from a long time ago(2.8). My more recent academic GPA was a 3.3. Would I be in the running for heavy scholarships at schools with average LSAT of 157? Yeah you'd be in the…
  • @kimmy_m66 said: Okay. I figured it out. My bf has been incredible to me these past few months of studying, so I got him these socks: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074WLC7BB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 He's an a…

  • You have an awesome GPA and a nice soft with the Fulbright. If you want T14 you'll need to retake. With a high enough score you have great chances at every T14. Imagine how high you can score this time around if you put 100% effort in?
  • Most recently, I put my chattels towards a pair of Allen Edmond shoes. Always good to have a fresh pair of deal sleds.

  • When you email your professors for LORs, keep it pretty concise, but cover the following 3 things: 1) A refresher on who you are/the classes you took with them. Why you loved their class so much ... 2) Overview of what you've been doing since you …
  • @lsatplaylist said: @"Alex Divine", Interesting! I hadn't known this. Glad you mentioned it. Yup -- I suppose it may be hard to give out merit scholarships when such a large amount of admitted students are so exceptional. Also, they don't re…
  • @StephenASmith said: 2 sections/day + review I think is ideal Depends... First, there is no universal ideal. Second, if 2 sections/day plus review is ideal for you, then that's what's ideal for you I often find that when I'm doing too mu…
  • @cgracia12 said: @"Alex Divine" said: If, on the other hand, you have a history of poor standardized test performance, such as the SAT/ACT, but then went on to excel in college, you may have grounds for writing an addendum. …
  • The LSATMax one isn't banned, so you're still able to use it. But people have reported having problems with them because proctors aren't trained to be able to distinguish between a 180 watch and an LSATMax one.
  • I can't answer if you should or shouldn't upgrade, but I can tell you that it is worth it. You get all of the following, plus way more... drill by type packs for LR LG bundle all the tests in printable format 8000+ Question bank detailed vid…
  • Congrats @LSATcantwin on Sage status and @tringo335 on status !
  • Nope. No need to include an addendum. LSAT addenda should be reserved for things out of your control that negatively affected your performance. For example, many of the students who took after Hurricane Harvey had grounds for writing addenda. Many …
  • Hey everyone! This original OP for the June 2018 study group is getting a bit big. From now on I'd appreciate it if we could just consolidate discussion and requests to the most recent June 18' post. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussio…
  • @Sammie215 said: I’m in a very similar boat.... If you can think of a trusted friend/parent/mentor who could serve as an editor, then paying and having to disclose payment doesn’t seem worth it. But if you think some good editing could improve…
  • @cynnnnnn said: I'm not sure where to turn/what to do, except that I know I'm re-taking after scoring a 151 in December (first take). My highest PT was a 154 with a BR of 161, which was my target score. I made this score a few weeks leading up…
  • It seems like you're interested in attending a top school, so you already know you'll need to retake. I don't think the 5-6 weeks until the February test is enough time to study properly and hit the 160-165 range you're aiming for. Scoring a 148 mea…
  • You seem to only be going up! A 170+ with a 3.95 will have you sitting very pretty. I feel like you know you have a couple extra points in you, so totally worth a retake.
  • @demiiisodaaa said: Hello is it possible for me to join the study group?? You're in
  • @zeekanon said: Thanks you guys so much! Now I can have a little peace of mind and not regret the tattoo... I know it can be anxiety-inducing because of all of the social pressure to conform when you take a corporate job, but I've learned th…
  • @Kayyyyyyy said: Where are good places in the Northeast for someone with a 175 LSAT and 3.8 undergrad GPA to apply if they're hoping for full or close to full ride merit scholarships? Thanks for your thoughts! Do you have a preference of sch…
