@"Mia Fairweather" said: @Bamboosprout do you remember specifically which ones JY has video footage for? Tried to go through the passages for PT 84 and saw nothing ? PT 84 might be too new. 83 should have it, if you have access to them, and …

Wow, you people are amazing.

If you have an application that doesn't cut the school's stats, then you have to retake, and apply when you get a sufficient score. Doesn't matter if it's Sep, Nov, Jan, or Jun. If you don't have to retake, then apply ASAP. Each month can decrease…

Here's my method: LR - I consider skipping any question that has its own column (I also look at what type of question it is) - I consider skipping any parallel method or flaw question (I also look at how long, and how complex the stimulus is) LG…

@madaging said: Will not answering it, if the application allows it to go unanswered, hurt you? Will it make you look suspicious and/or draw attention to you? I'm really tempted to just leave the question blank on all my applications that…

@"Leah M B" said: Ah, I was confused too. I did 2 or 3 of those Kira interviews last year. I think Cornell's is the one I bombed the worst lol. Yeah, these automated video interviews are just dang tough. I think the best approach is to ha…

@"m.dearden" said: @Bamboosprout Thanks for the help. I was looking at U-Chicago's, so probably a bad idea to list Harvard or Stanford? Or any school whatsoever? It doesn't specifically say "optional," but nor is it indicated as a required…

Here's what I did when I was in your situation. I re-did the 7sage CC. Takes a long time (about 2 months), but it works. If you don't have time for it, maybe get a tutor to get some guided weakness recognition and practice.

If I remember correctly, they're basically trying to play game theory with their competition. I think there is absolutely harm in giving them your list if your list makes it look like that school is one of your fall-backs, or if you have a big lis…

@"Testing..." said: @"Tatyana L." said: I feel like “some type of” to be equivalent of “exactly one of a set” where “set” is 1 or more. Where the fact that “type” is singular is key to this concept. So people have exactly one secur…

I think that predictor starting in October has a very good reason, which is anything before October doesn't offer a big difference. Disclaimer though, I'm not too familiar with the subject and math behind it, but I think the correlation is not a str…

@akistotle said: @Bamboosprout said: Here's my perspective: It is clear that we should all do as many practice interview questions as possible. But honestly, I didn't feel like it helped all that much. I spent 2 days searchin…

Hey, if Stanford is your dream school, and you're close to your recommenders, I would just recommend having a chat with your recommenders about this. Honestly, they know themselves best, and only they really know if they can or want to write a Stanf…

@"Pride Only Hurts" said: Honestly, if you don't see yourself at a school why bother applying? Serious question so anyone feel free to pitch in. I know blanketing the t-14 is a common strategy but if I'm not enthusiastic about what a school h…

Start keeping a Personal Statement Notebook. I've kept one with me for the last 6 months, and been writing down every significant thought or conversation I had in regards to law school, my life, and why the two relate. It's now 10,000 words long, so…

Are you familiar with any methods to increase efficiency and speed? Confidence drills are effective for me, since I have timing problems too, so not reading everything and skipping helps me a lot. Timed practice section can be helpful (I like to …

Good question. For the resume, I am planning to do the lowest denominator so that I can just submit the same thing for as many schools as possible, since resume doesn't really matter too much. But yeah, for columbia and duke, you might want to adjus…

I think you should try it. Personally, it doesn't work for me, because it distracts me from my process of making inferences and connecting it with other rules. And doing an acceptable situation question after making the inferences gives me some ti…

@loosekanen said: This is super great advice. Definitely use the things under the resources tab, and check the analytics. What kind of studying did you do in your 1 hours a day session?

@"Leah M B" said: Hmm.... this might be a case for @"Cant Get Right". Have you worked with a tutor? You can see this thread for the list of approved tutors. (It's an old thread, but mods keep the main post with the tutor list up to date.)…
