Yale loves denying 180/4.3 candidates and admitting people whose pursuits tell a story.
Yeah, this is why all of the standard rules of admissions tend to come with a "well, except maybe Yale" tagged on to the end. I was up in New…

After reading pages and pages of statements a small difference does stick out a lot.
And this is a really good point. Be careful out there y'all.

I am having the same issue trying to keep my PS under 2 pages.
Yeah, the two page requirement is really brutal. I had to cut about a quarter of a page from my final PS and even that really hurt. Many programs have broader spec…

It seems like the jump to 170 requires that other level of thinking.
Definitely. Keep at it though. Like you said, you're only at the beginning of this.

I'd HIGHLY suggest dedicating yourself to reaching a score and THEN sitting for the exam. You're doing it backwards IMO.

Doing 12 tests in 6 weeks is highly going to result in diminishing returns.

Do you guys waste time drawing and visualizing things on paper?
I never waste time diagramming. But that does not at all mean that I never diagram. The distinction is that I've come to be able to identify when it's a waste of time…
It mostly just depends on the moral of the story. If the moral of the story is that you have become a stronger person for having lived through those things, that's a Personal Statement. If the moral of the story is that these experiences give you a …

I learned notations from the Powerscore LG Bible, but I don't stick to them 100%
If you're anything like I was on Powerscore, you probably spend a lot of time just trying to classify the game. I also found that the notations were …
You've got to include your name and LSAC number, and I'd want to label it as a personal statement in the heading as well. If you're on 12 pt font, you can bring that down to 11, but no lower. You may can manipulate the spacing to be 1.9 instead of 2…

some kind of nightly ritual.
Yeah, this is a great addition to this topic. I've talked a lot about my routine, but it really did become more of a ritual--both my mornings and nights. Very good for going into test day when anxiet…

I was wondering if this will be recorded?
Yep. May do a repeat at some point in the future too. This covers a lot of ground so I'm sure I'll continue to think of ways to improve it.
Yeah, I'd ask. I have no idea what it's like to be dying, but I can definitely imagine that I might very well prefer to feel useful instead of everybody going all sensitive on me. I guess it depends on the individual though. If he wants details abou…
It's definitely not an ideal situation, but there is a lot of damage control you can do with 5-6 minutes. You've got to read the passage quickly: Just read it, 2 to 3 minutes. Then just answer the questions without agonizing over anything. Read them…
I think this is one of those things that is going to be a little different for everyone. For me, the answer was to study as long as I could stay sharp. Once I lose my edge, it's time to break. Sometimes that means 15 minutes, sometimes that means a …

I did at least 50 games , using this course to check my strategies and answers about 2hours daily for 4-5 weeks and I got 22/23 .
That's how it's done! Congrats!

I don't associate with people who don't use the oxford comma. Goddammit, Joshua!
Oh no, haha! I just copied and pasted that from GoToMeeting! It's an automatically generated invite! I didn't know!
Here's where I think a grammatical breakdown of the stimulus can be really useful. I like to go bare bones and just leave "subject verb object." Here, that translates to "rate continues to rise." Everything else here essentially works as modifiers t…

I just hear JY's voice in my head going saying, "So WHAT!??"
I hear more of the "okay. . . so. . . what?" version. Yours is faster so probably better.
If it's not a factor at all, then there is no argument left. Just because it isn't sufficient doesn't do much. Maybe it's necessary. If it's a necessary condition for being the best war strategist and Michaels is the only one who satisfies that cond…
It's not that there's no value in early PTs, the problem here is that's just way too many on way too strict a schedule. You'll burn out and you won't have time between tests to study much. All those tests you're taking are going to expose lots of we…
I agree that this is the new norm. We just need to adjust our expectations. If I had it to do all over again, I might place increased value on the earlier tests. Systematic foolproofing continues to be important, but I'd probably use maybe the mid 4…
