I've 180'd a few PTs, and I think one of those may have been a true -0. This is the main thing: @sillllyxo said: Honestly I think -0 is a combo of luck and skill- someone mentioned even JY got I think -1 or 2 over the whole test when he was t…

I suppose my story might be pretty good, although it is ongoing. My GPA is a 3.74 which is fine, but enough to make me a splitter in basically the entire T14. Applying last cycle, I got in with big money at Vanderbilt and George Washington which had…

I know that I'm maybe a little late to this discussion now that the main body of the thread has been edited out, lol, but I'd like to add to this because I'm not sure that all admissions consultants even want you to apply to your dream school. Some…

@"Alex Divine" said: The biggest piece of advice is probably to not fall into the mindset that doing a bunch of PTs will or drilling by type will necessarily make you better. Second. Here's my webinar on how to go about this which elaborate…

I never did any in person interviews, but I know that generally, you want to get there early, but only check in about 5 minutes before time. You don't want to be too early; it's weird to have some one sitting somewhere just waiting on you, and it fr…

I think you're in good shape. Just make sure to value the newer fresh tests: Don't take them lightly. Use the earlier ones to identify weaknesses, use the earlier ones to address those weaknesses, and then use the newer ones to test once you think y…

University prestige is not a big factor at all. Your UG career will largely be boiled down to your GPA. Focus on maxing that out and you should be fine.

Confession. I'm really bad about writing on my master game boards. I write in really lightly and erase after each question. It's not a good thing to do. I'd've totally adopted this if I were going to test again.

Yeah man, I feel you. Just try to remember what you did before and try to enjoy it. Maybe start on some 0L stuff? I'm picking up the Short&Happy series and trying to get my feet wet.

Most of the C&F prompts I've read would seem to require you to disclose this. The language on those is usually pretty clear, so read closely and if there is any room at all for ambiguity, disclose. I got a ticket for an expired license plate aft…

Great thread. I don't know any law students or potential law students outside of 7Sage, and a lot of people probably already know Nicole's story (she did a webinar on it if you want to know more), but her success story was always really inspiring fo…

1) They really just want 2. If you send a third one, then all three had better be stellar and indispensable. 2) Look at the addendum prompts. Sometimes the prompt will indicate that a diversity statement is appropriate, sometimes not. 3) From ever…

Hey @"vanessa fisher" , that very well may depend on the school. The way it works at Penn at least, and most other schools I looked at is you do the entire 3 years of the JD, plus an extra year at the masters which takes law school classes as your e…

I always find that time distribution largely dictates strategy in RC. If you can get a good read in 2 minutes, you've got a lot of freedom to look back to the passage and confirm answers once you get into the questions. If you're more like me and us…

Different schools have different triggers. Many just blanket the list, but once you've got some stats in the system, schools can selectively target you. Once I had my LSAT score in, I noticed a number of additional schools jumping on the email train…

Going to a prestigious school can actually hurt you if they don't inflate your grades like everyone else. I know Princeton and several others are known to deflate grades. A 4.0 from X State University will still count as a 4.0, and a 2.0 from Prince…

@Kayyyyyyy , I understand the inherent problem with terms like "reverse racism," and I apologize if my comment came across that way. Racism is obviously not a legitimate basis for an argument. To clarify my meaning, there are legitimate arguments o…

Here's my webinar on this exact question: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/

@Victoria14 said: I had a friend who got tipsy and just wrote about everything that's frustrated her, or hurt her feelings. It was like 6 pages but by the end she had about 10 different topics about overcoming adversity. It's not the soundest …

-1 per passage is pretty strong. To improve, you'll have to get pretty picky. Focus on what you're missing and why. Are there any trends to the types of questions you're missing? Once you identify not just that you're missing about 1 per passage but…

Hey everyone, so far so good on this thread, but this is a sensitive subject, so let's all just bear that in mind and grant the legitimacy of the opposing argument. It's important and appropriate to debate this, let's just make sure to proceed with …

Hey, as far as scheduling goes, particularly in how to work in PTs and what to do in between them, I go into a lot of depth on this in my webinar on Post CC Study Strategies: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ …

This is a really interesting question. I'd suspect that the answer would be similar to the advice for applying with a resume. The personal statement is supposed to be your opportunity to humanize your application: to add a personal touch to somethin…

If you need to address pacing, take footage of your tests and then watch it back with a stopwatch and a spreadsheet. Once you see the data all broken down, your issues become really conspicuous.

Penn really emphasizes collaborative approaches to complex problems which is what really caught my attention. And it's not just some marketing thing they like to push on their website. They let me apply to a masters program using my LSAT score inste…

Make sure to mine their websites as well. Just go through and start opening up tabs and then go through them all. Look at their alumni stuff and faculty projects and everything. If you go deep enough, you may can write a why x statement just based o…

@uhinberg said: It's pretty crazy that LSAC can mess so much the difficulty of a particular section that someone like @"Cant Get Right" , who averages less than -1 on LR can find an LR section to be extremely difficult. I'm not sure it was…

@AllezAllez21 said: @"Cant Get Right" Thanks for sharing your experience. Absolutely rooting for you. I honestly think it was unfair to those who had to take the experimental RC first. Someone at LSAC should run the numbers, and I bet the…

@bswise2 said: I had the same exact experience with the first RC. My first section was the experimental RC and I did awful. They called 5 minutes before I got to the last passage and I was like..."What? That hasn't happened in like 8 PTs..." B…

@sillllyxo said: Do you remember the game types I honestly kind of Blanked. It's ok to talk about that right? You can really only talk about things very generally. So, you can reference that there was a restaurant daily special game, but …
