@"Seeking Perfection" said: I had a single formal reasoning philosophy class as a methods requirement for my major. It might have been useful in that learning it relied mainly on repitition(a learning technique which foolproofing has copied an…

@"Paul Caint" said: @TheMikey Yeah that's what I've heard too. I'm at their median LSAT and well above their 75th percentile GPA though. I think also because I'm a straight-out-of-undergrad applicant that they want to check my maturity. …

As everyone said, you're fine. The fact you worked at all and have some WE will be a nice soft though!

I would recommend making sure you have a solid and consistent approach to RC. Develop your own notation style, if you use one. Then I would practice doing timed RC passages (maybe 1-2 per day) and then BR them immediately afterwards and write your …

@Freddy_D said: In the beginning, I flashcarded the valid and invalid argument forms as well as the logical indicators for each group. Same. This worked very well for learning and instilling these very important concepts!

@"surfy surf" said: I was a Phil major with all As and one B+ in my major at a UC school. It didn't help me at all on the LSAT other than the fact that I'm able to read quickly (doesnt mean i'm retaining all info). Having an extra minute to pe…

Congrats! Thanks for the burst of positivity!

@"Logic Gainz" said: Anyone else get an undergrad degree in something other than philosophy? I know this test doesn't require outside knowledge, but I'm sure knowing some aspects of formal logic definitely helps. Any thoughts on this? If anyon…

@Abset710 said: I got one from Columbia too today. I do not stand a chance too(169). Don't count yourself out if you have a decent GPA. A 7Sager got in last cycle with a 3.9x/169

Why not? It's a personal statement. And while it should be well written, it's ok to use words like rigamarole if it works in whatever context you're using it in.

I've found it helpful to go back and compare how I've done certain games. I keep a log and like to find if certain ways I diagrammed or framed games worked better than others.It's also helpful to review games I had trouble with and sometimes just to…

I might be free towards the end of next week if you're still around! It will likely be sometime in the evening though. I'll pm ya

@"L.Etranger" said: Why not just print a new copy? My paper gets super messy after some games, and from a visual standpoint there's just no more room for me to write/diagram. For LG, I actually do re-print the games out! That's definite…

@"Marco Antonio" said: A follow up question: where can I find common RC prompts and strategies for them. I watched a webinar that Jimmy Dahroug did, and it was very useful. I wanted to know if there was somewhere else I could look though. I …

@PandaRamen said: I graduated last June and took the December test, short story is I am 95% sure that I did poorly. I am currently registered for the February test.I have called the schools I am interested in applying and they said that I will…

@HARSHJOSHI19 said: Well that specific watch has a chronograph and that is explicitly listed as a prohibited watch by LSAC. https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/day-of-test (keyword chronograph, youll find it) Watches like the 180 and Mastermind hav…

Stanford and Berk would be the way to go! You get the prestige and both are major feeders into tech, specifically in SV.

@"LSAT ISLAND" said: I have studied with power score in the past and have taken blueprint as well. Powerscore LR says to read stimulus first and then the question but blueprint is the other way around ( read question then stimulus). What is yo…

@westcoastbestcoast said: According to Spivey's data, there has been an overall increase in the number of applicants, specifically those scoring in the 160s to 170s, notably with a 262% increase in those who scored a 175! Does this mean that t…

@"Kings Never Die" said: From what i've heard, it's all about strategy to maintain their ranking or yield protection. Columbia tries to attract high lsat + meh gpa type applicants to maintain their ranking, while Chicago, their peer school in …

@cgracia12 said: Hello everyone, February will be my third and final exam, and making the final push now. Was wondering what your study week looks like? Do you guys try to do a bit of LR, RC, LG in a day, or focus on one section per day? …

@mcglz_64 said: Yeah what if you have a score already though? From dec? Is there a way to say "hey wait feb is on its way!!" Yeah, you can request for them to wait until your Feb score is in before they evaluate your app.

Depends on the school and the GPA/LSAT. Hard to make generalizations or give advice in a vacuum. A top school... probably not a great chance. A regional school... you'd have a much better chance. While there's truly no such thing as a reverse split…

@BinghamtonDave said: Hey group, I’m going to start putting together a cookie cutter flaw spreadsheet to better assist us in identify repeat flaws. We spotted circular reasoning last night. A link will be forthcoming. Thanks, Dave! This i…

@dansykes94 said: I believe they review your application and wait until your February score before finalizing it. I think the effects of the late application is overstated. If you have a nice sweet LSAT that'll boost the class profile, law sch…

@dennisgerrard said: Different schools have different weightness on LSAT+GRE. Do they? I haven't read anything that indicates this, but definitely interested to know if this is the case. For instance, GW and NU both place a different weigh…

@oberdysz said: This also could mean more time to register for lsat... but why? Is the pool of applicants shrinking? Or maybe LSAC fears the GRE? Na applicants are increasing (by a lot) Haha maybe GRE concerns? Or maybe they just realized ho…

@Hannah56 said: @"Alex Divine" so even if I score well on the GRE, my LSAT score will still impact their median? In other words their ranking? For Business schools, I know some applicationts who scored poorly on GMAT but were admitted based on t…
