@"Leah M B" said: Yeah. Only thing to do is to learn from it. What is a C&F disclosure? Ohhhh, I see. Character and Fitness. Got it.

@"Leah M B" said: @Bamboosprout Sort of. It's specifically for first generation students. The prompt is above. Interesting. Thank you for explaining

@LSAT_Wrecker said: This 30 minute video will make you an expert. FWIW, the admissions adviser at my top choice law school said that she reads the writing sample for the applications she reviews. YMMV. Good luck tomorrow! This is …

What are your other options? What is the opportunity cost here? If you have nothing else to do, and could use the money, then why not? Otherwise, you could consider working full time in the meanwhile, and the money from the job can potentially balan…

I think it fully depends on study habit/methodology. I don't know how much material is actually out there, but from what I have, just in terms of materials, Manhattan has about 5x more material than the LSAT Trainer. Manhattan prep has MUCH much m…

Is it basically a diversity statement?

The application process is confusing for everyone, yup. And international students statistically have a lower chance of acceptance. T_T

wow... I'm impressed.

That's a yikes from me, friend. Patience is a virtue, and study until you get a 168+. Then, perhaps it may be a yeet. Excuse my attempt to stay young and relevant.

I think it's important to have a system. I'm terrible with details and nuances, so I fall back on systems. Over time, I change and update the system to adapt to mistakes I make, including silly mistakes. I ask myself, how can I make sure I don't mak…

JY has been helping us with the BR sessions that he's been hosting, so he probably hasn't had time to make all the videos yet. Unfortunately, if you missed the BR sessions, you may not be able to get a good understanding of the questions until after…

@"hinds.rakim" said: @BinghamtonDave Points for quoting blood meridian lol. So many parallels between the book’s gruesomeness and applying to law school! Woah... sounds like a scary book.

Great monkey! @"J.Y. Ping" said: Good monkey. If we ignore the 7sage lore, is JY talking to himself here?

Try re-watching the first few videos of the core curriculum again. It really helped me solidify my techniques. JY talks about three methods that basically cover all basis: blocking, bridging, MBT.

I think georgetown is a great school, but you'll need to be in the top 5-10% of the class to get what the 50% of the class gets at HYS, or CCN. This unique circumstance is because GULC accepts so many students(with only harvard's class size close to…

@Harvey_l said: I really recommend reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Great book, stoicism is quite similar to much of the philosophy principles in this post! I agree completely. Modern readers just have to be aware of the context it wa…

Hahahaha, awesome response @BinghamtonDave, and thanks for leaving comments, @keets993 and @AudaciousRed. I've been binging podcasts a bit too much recently, with serial, this american life, heavyweight, guys who law, knowledge project, thinking lik…

I'm pretty much just going to write what I think without regards to what I wrote last year. But I'm not just resubmitting them. I'm writing new ones, but the content will be similar.

Oh, what a nice surprise! Thank you~

Nvm. Woot.

You can definitely improve before the test still, but it's hard to give any suggestions to you since your situation is so nebulous. Can you think back to the test experience and remember why you chose the wrong answers? If not, try doing some time…

@"Pride Only Hurts" said: I hope you'll reach your target score. That said, it might not a good idea to focus on target scores. After all, having that target can help keep a fire lit behind you, but can do more harm than good approachi…

@aholtzer said: Thanks for the input. Not really counting on any T-6 schools but might throw my hat into a couple. I am grateful for my current score and like @Bamboosprout said the opportunity cost and risk of getting a lower score might no…

Right before, and during the test, meditating and taking deep breaths will definitely help you. But that's just a bandaid for a bigger injury that can't be solved quickly, and needs to be addressed beforehand. Yeah, to reiterate some of what @keets…

FT studying - 5-6 hours PT studying - 1-2 hours (These times are not counting breaks or going on fb or any of that sort. I don't even include time spent planning or meditating. They are purely time spent on LSAT material.)
-
Take a bit of time away from LSAT and law schools considerations to recollect yourself and remember why you're doing this in the first place. Believe that you can improve, and that the lower score is just bad luck. Wish you the best
