  • Interesting. My good gpa may pay off more than I ever hoped it would! Kinda cuts into 7sages business a bit tho.
  • Sadly, not much in the way of Public radio around where I live. On a good day, sometimes. We don't have a great deal of culture on the radio outside of pop and country music.
  • And there I was, thinking I'd be the weirdo again and someone drops "Zimmer" and "Interstellar". I have an entire playlist of scores and soundtracks. I especially like superhero movies (Nolan's Batman series had some great music). The energy g…
  • @"Leah M B" Yep. Since before I sent in the first transcript, they were paid. I think it's just part of my ridiculous, "You have got to be kidding me" week from hell. Even my PT scores have suffered immensely this week. I keep wondering what a…
  • I would start the video, see if I could do the game board, then play and see if I did it correctly. Then pause and try to make my own inferences, and then play and see if I got that right. Give yourself a chance to figure it out after the first cou…
  • If I remember correctly, you have to agree not to talk about it till it goes live.
  • There's something about the ability to highlight and make notes and such in real books that ebooks still lack. But I can see the appeal of ebooks if it becomes a matter of weight and convenience. The only danger of ebooks comes if you, say, drop you…
  • It's been a month now since my second transcript was received by them (they now have 2/3), and I still have no academic report. So... they need more money for what, exactly?
  • It's a struggle, for sure. I find that running my pencil along the lines and forcing myself to read (and therefore internally say) each word can be helpful. But it's a massive struggle with some sections. Dividing up the section as one paragraph at …
  • Every hour I can get. I seem to be doing better at RC, so mainly some LR and mostly LG for me. Other than that, work, lsat study, lsat study at work, weekends, etc. I'll be busy till the week of testing. I'm so blasted close, and I really would pre…
  • Comes off as rude. Like, yeah, that's what students really need right now: head games and extra worry at this point to extend suffering and make them even more insecure about this process. Really? I may be misreading it, but it definitely gives o…
  • Oh wow. Didn't think I was that talkative..
  • Indeed. 150k isn't just 150k. It's more like 200-300k in loan total repayment, plus all the lost investment time and money lost while paying that off (as you pointed out with your calculations). It can be a great deal more than a lot of people rea…
  • I'd be miffed by this arrangement, too. To ask for binding commitment, but offer no details where it comes to cost / fin aid, is completely unfair in my mind. I'm kind of a "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" type of person. A full ride …
  • @"surfy surf" said: I spent mine on a cone for my cat thats pink and shaped like a flower lolol. she had allergies in her ear and kept itching but she stopped itching and got better by the time the cone was delivered Pets keep us sane and lo…
  • I am very type B. Everything is a mess to those who don't understand what they're seeing. It may well look like a pile of papers, but I know what's in that pile. Someone goes and tries to organize it, and now I can't find anything anymore. I am muc…
  • (cracks knuckles) Awww yeah...
  • Study, retake, and if necessary, wait a cycle and really hit the books. That scholarship money and those open doors are worth it. That's my fallback plan if June doesn't go well for me.
  • @stepharizona said: Yep. It's listed on the course page starter is 3 months and Ultimate is 12 months. Plus you can buy extra time if you need it and when prep test get released you can add those as well and that adds time too Wait.. buying …
  • @"Leah M B" said: Agreed with @Emily2122. If this came to pass, it would mean I could pretty much only attend a law school where I received full tuition. That basically would only cover living expenses at most schools. I won’t go down the priv…
  • @spitzy11 , thanks for that. I was just thinking about loans and the process the other day. I'm very thankfully on a scholarship for my BA, but even with a scholarship, I will need loans for law school. I've seen them offered to me for undergrad, b…
  • More likely, it'd just mean more students would have to go the private loans path. Just another way to hand private companies some more business. And yeah, I think it'd make it more difficult for people to get higher education (masters and up), and…
  • PT38 RC Q12 was pretty tricky. I got it okay, but yeah... what a mean question.
  • I agree with the others: mid sized would be preferable. A college town or maybe a town an hour or two away from a big city. Trust me. You don't want rural country living. Everybody wants to "live in the country" until they realize there's no money…
  • Yeah. As much as I'd hate to, I can always retake. Would rather not drag this out even longer though if I can help it.
  • Update: Just did PT 38 today (I apparently did not print 37 at work and therefore skipped one. Doh). I was sure I did terrible. The room I was in was noisy due to the extremely high winds -- 60+ mph gusts. (word of advice: dont pick the room unde…
  • I found that getting through the LR on the curriculum did wonders for my RC. Also, JY's techniques for summarizing has been very helpful, too. My pre-CC diagnostic was a 154 (on 7sage, it says 153, because I input a couple questions in wrong for g…
  • A little bit of all of the above. On some areas that I felt I struggled, I would drill during the CC. Now PTing, this is exactly my plan: use the PT's to make the analytics better, and focus on the problem types I am missing most often using the q…
  • @"Leah M B" said: 5 points is really good!! I think I only improved like 3 or 4 at the end of the cc and wanted to rage throw my computer out a window. LoL! I know that feeling. I was like "Really? That's it?" I mean.. I'm happy to see s…
  • @"Seeking Perfection" said: Keep in mind that there is a margin for error on anyone test. There is a decent chance you could have scored 2 or 3 points higher or lower on either test purely by chance. So you could either have made less pro…
