Oh, looks like there was a leak. abovethelaw.com/2016/03/breaking-the-2017-u-s-news-law-school-rankings-leak/
-
I'm still just seeing the old rankings. Where are you accessing this?
-
Yeah, it sounds to me like you're getting ahead of yourself. It's hard not to, but try and resist looking too far ahead. I think it would be fine to go walk around, but I'd feel weird about contacting the school for any kind of official visit. They …

@nanchito Yes!! And add in, "What in the world" "Well, there you go." And of course, "Fuck the seagulls, always shitting everywhere."

@"Nicole Hopkins" I'm probably showing my age, but someone had to do it.

MOICHENDISING!! 7Sage the T shirt! 7Sage the coloring book! 7Sage the lunchbox! 7Sage the breakfast cereal! 7Sage the flamethrower! The kids love this one.

@runiggyrun basically covered it. Considering your BR score, it sounds like your fundamentals are strong. You need to look at it more holistically, because it seems like the questions themselves aren't necessarily the issue. Whether it's panic or ti…

That's a really good question @Belgianwaffles . I'm working through the curriculum and have often wondered when to reinforce the lessons with material from the bundle. I totally get the process for Games, but it is less clear how to approach LR and …

That's a huge upswing! Hard work and good resources go a long way. Congratulations!
-
I would assume LSAC would make your writing sample available along with your score. For the most part though, it’s my understanding that nobody reads them anyway.
-
@runiggyrun said: I generally finish LR with 5ish minutes to spare, so for me personally I don't feel that the few seconds saved would be worth the risk. I think that’s a really good point. I think I’m going to be close to a consistent 30 minute …
-
I think I'll very cautiously try it out on some PTs, maybe only on the first 15 and even then only in the case of overwhelming certainty. I'm aiming for 15 in 15 minutes on LR, so maybe that will help put me over the top. Although, I haven't taken a…

@allison.gill.sanford That's definitely where I was before. I'm uneasy skipping over anything. Then I came across a question on which I was just so utterly confident on that I just knew. I went ahead and read everything and confirmed that my answer…
-
@"The 180 Bro_OVO" I kind of expected what you said to emerge as the consensus. I imagine the difficulty there is in self gauging one's own comfort/skill level. I think it's probably a good strategy to at least try out in PT, and then BR will proba…
-
Oh well. Maybe the diminished applicant pool will help blunt that somewhat? I am totally chasing my score, so at the end of the day, I’d rather have an extra five points and be called a score chaser. That’s fair and I can live with it. Then agai…

@Pacifico said: Plus some of those top schools are not big on a third take. I’ve seen this mentioned in several threads recently. Could you possibly elaborate on that? I know large jumps are uncommon anyway, but when they do occur what’s the sti…
-
Yeah, that happened to me too once I got into the 70s. I definitely agree that the LR and RC get trickier, and the games started tripping me up more as well. @runiggyrun basically nailed it. It’s probably a more frustrating process at this point …
-
Yeah, I guess that makes it hard to judge on that metric. I guess the question becomes, how do you continue to study effectively if you’re out of materials? If you can answer that and identify where you have room to improve, that might be a good w…
-
Aim for fall. If you still don’t feel ready when the time comes, no big deal, withdraw and hold off for December. One thing that’s maybe more important to me than it really should be is early admissions. The good folks over at admissions have a l…
-
Dropping a few points from your PT average is really common. What I’d do is sign up for it, and study like you’re going to take it. Then when it’s time, see where your average is at. If you’ve improved your average, retake it for sure. If not, t…

Sign up with 7Sage. Delay until September, and don’t burn any more PTs until you’ve gone through the 7Sage curriculum. Basically, what @runiggyrun said. As for motivating yourself, I always find Survivor helpful and AC/DC too depending on how I’m…

Everything @Pacifico said, plus Iowa breaks away from the pack at the 4-way tie at #22 by using GRE applicants to up their LSAT median.
-
I’m concerned that you've possibly underestimated how much work it takes to get to that level on the LSAT. It’s worth putting in the work, and by all means go for it. But if you’re planning to score in the 170s on the LSAT, bring your CGPA up an e…

@rakinalikhan and @Micaela_OVO I would have to add “what in the world!?” to the JYisms that pop into my head. What in the world indeed.
-
As much as I’ve been agonizing over it, now that you say that and I think to myself, ‘Okay, September then,’ I feel really relieved. The idea of June still really stresses me out. Unless a really compelling reason to go for June presents itself, t…

You made a good choice. Welcome!

Right on! Go get ‘em!

@pritisharma I know a Harvard Law grad who did exactly that. She graduated top of her class, worked for like two years in a big law firm, and then quit to go back to school for tech. Everything I've heard about working at the big, top firms is th…

@amurphy said: I'm very disappointed in myself and my top three schools are almost certainly out of the question now. Even my second and third choice schools are not that likely, so I'm considering how I'm going to respond. This happened to me aft…
