I know I will do well in law school. its my dream to be there and I will succeed You might be in for a rather unpleasant surprise... Transferring is based on a number of big, big, big, big assumptions. Some of them may well turn out to be fals…

Academic works or philosophical writings would do, especially older ones. But stay away from Kant, Lacan, and Žižek. Visit website of any decent research institution. Find the list of its professors, scholars, or researchers. Pick any one of them,…

I am inclined to think that using a simulated proctor in a variety of environments would be fine. If you can afford the expenses and really, really, really want to experience that test day vibe, however, then by all means go ahead. We live in a free…

Relevant premise: Environmentalists have opposed all developmental proposals. Relevant conclusion: Environmental concern is not the environmentalists' real concern. For the conclusion to be true, one must assume that the environmentalists have at …

@paulmv.benthem @keets993 Your friends and families must be dying to see you complete your legal education, am I right?

Ride out the waitlist while studying for the LSAT. I personally see no reason as to why one should attend an institution he or she doesn't like, especially with a five- or six-figure loan looming. Getting waitlisted at a T10 with 3.4 and 150 with a…

This image made me realize that for each LR section we tackle, we weave our way through 96-104 "bullshit" answer choices. 296-316 if you include both LR and RC sections. No wonder my tolerance for BS logic has been declining on a daily basis...

I don't think you need to submit your high school diploma. In fact, I don't think suspensions are recorded on high school transcripts. In any case, I think both law school admission offices and bar associations have better things to worry about tha…

You might find some of your answers here, but then again, soul crushing and disliking are two different things... https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/15605/whats-your-least-favorite-rc-passage-s I second Eileen Gray. I also dislike Ro…

No need. Make sure that volunteer experience is included in your application though.

@simplereally said: wait is this true? i'm under the impression that law schools don't care THAT much about gaps ... especially for newly grads... instead they care about your LSAT and GPA. Depends, really, like so many things related to the…

@spitzy11 said: I agree with you completely! I woke up 2 a.m. and couldn’t go back to bed and then started having anxiety because I couldn’t fall back asleep. It was terrible. But that traffic can be even worse and I’d never want to endure tha…

Have a friend who took the LSAT at that location. She said it was okay.

@spitzy11 said: I would highly recommend staying there the night before unless you live really close. I did and I don’t regret the extra money spent at all. If it’s not close to LA Live or something, it might be a good experience! I don't kn…

Your choice, really. I fail to see why in the world your so-called position of privilege should nullify the LGBT dimension. As for your second point, it would really depend on how you deliver your story, something that you might want to keep at the …

"Please, please don't apologize for being white, male, and middle-class - every white middle-class guy does that." - Anna Ivey, The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions, 89.

"If you attended a college in the United States that provides evaluations rather than grades... schools will review your evaluations to determine whether you were a serious and committed student... [and] will be forced to rely more heavily on your L…

Let me take a stab at this... The first and second phrases seem to be referring to the same idea, A -> B. They both designate A as a condition that allows B's occurrence. "As long as" and "so long as" mean the same thing, by the way. The third …

I don't think work experience will make a drastic difference. Plenty of people have legal backgrounds in one way or another.

Strictly speaking, "some" and "many" are not interchangeable. "Some" includes everything other than 0, while "many" by definition designates a substantial number. What "substantial" means is context dependent, but it's... substantial. Twenty or one …

@"Seeking Perfection" said: As far as I can tell there hasn't been. My shiny 180 has got me about what it should have or maybe a little less given my softs and GPA of about a 3.8. I got big scholarships where I got in at the lower Top 14, a To…

I'm not a big Thoreau person, but the passage seems to be warning about dangers of pursuing wealth and fame. With that in mind... The ways by which you may get money almost without exception lead downward. "[A]lmost without exception" denotes freq…

@hawaiihi said: Would you all say there's a big difference in admissions chances -- disregarding softs -- between those applying in the 175-180 range? What I'm saying is, in that range, does a point or two make a difference...a 175/176/177, fo…

Rearranged, rewritten, or parenthesized as I saw fit: (The ways by which you may get money) lead downward almost without exception. (To have done anything by which you earned money [only]) is to have been truly idle or worse. If the laborer gets n…

Depends on many factors including, but not limited to: What is your ideal score? What are your target schools? How much time do you have left? How much time can you afford to spend? How much practice do you want?

@LSAT_Wrecker said: @FixedDice Our crew is down a member, how is your driving? Can you handle this: I once managed a 60-mile truck trip without any prior truck experience, so why not? Just don't expect me to pull a Fast & Furious.

@jenmar18 said: They aren't! I asked one of the admissions officers and they said they create sections based on a randomized generator that mixes students based on LSAT/GPA scores so each section has high and low students. Wouldn't hurt to g…

@jenmar18 said: Have to maintain a 3.0 GPA at the end of each year to keep the scholarship. I feel like I could do this though (have at or above the 75% LSAT and GPA at SC) Is Santa Clara one of those law schools that place all of their scho…

Foolproofing and practice come to my mind. You can also speed up on the actual questions. It's just like RC: The more time you spend on analyzing the given information, the less time you will have for questions.
