@FixedDice said: @"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…

@FixedDice said: @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 d…

I would definitely recommend throwing an app to WUSTL. Also don't let this discourage you or lower your aims, but this might help predict your cycle. http://mylsn.info/9r38xz/

Law school numbers is good especially since it also provides scholarship info. http://mylsn.info/dispresults.php is a nice way to automatically sort through some of the data from law school numbers. The main problem with law school numbers is that…

Keep in mind that there is a margin for error on anyone test. There is a decent chance you could have scored 2 or 3 points higher or lower on either test purely by chance. So you could either have made less progress than you think or already be nea…

The schools follow US News since it's rankings determine where we apply. These rankings currently use the highest score which is why law schools use the highest score for admissions. The average is actually a more reliable predictor of law school g…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: @"Seeking Perfection" said: This is all still assuming that you have control over where you place on the curve. The evidence is mostly the other way. Most law school students seem to study close to as hard a…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: @"Seeking Perfection" As you mention above, the correlation between law school GPA and job acquisition is a strong incentive in its own right. However, it is more of a long-term incentive and one that does not necessar…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: Could be a good thing for you to be honest. Negative incentives aren't always bad. Nope, it's a bad thing. You already have a powerful incentive to get good grades(getting a job). You don't need to lose your scholarship a…

Like @terrynicholasj and @eRetaker I also scored in the 170s (a 172 and a 180), but did not always have extra time at the end of sections. In fact on my 180, I finished one of my two LR sections with about 5 minutes to spare, one with less than a mi…

We are talking about two law schools where there is a real possibility you will not be able to find a legal job or not be able to find a PSLF qualifying job so you can pay back any debt you aquire. If you can keep cost of living fairly low(live che…

Midwest firms can supposedly be pretty insular so I would lean toward staying in California if I were you. While I hate the extra debt, it is better to be in debt with a legal job than possibly without one if you go to Illinois and don't get high en…

@TheBatman said: @"Seeking Perfection" I see, thank you. I guess Ill be going to the store to buy some more ink and paper lol. And maybe a couple big spirals with page protectors for games storage/organization.

@TheBatman said: I have LGs from PTs 1-35, but each game is not split up into two pages, like modern LSAT LG games are. Could I just print 140 copies, and erase my work rather than printing 4 copies for each game? What's the problem with…

@"Leah M B" said: @"Seeking Perfection" FWIW, he didn't say that 160+ scores would go down to the level that they were before this 20%+ bump. He said it would likely be down compared to this year. So, could still be up like 15-18% relative to …

@goingfor99th said: @"Seeking Perfection" said: Trump effect will fade. First of all, I'm not convinced the increase was a Trump effect. Why would a Trump effect be concentrated among high scorers? Shouldn't people motivated to att…
-
I don't really understand the rational for why high scoring applications would go down. It tends to bounce up and down. That doesn't sound like it should explain applications above 160+ being up 20 percent. They certainly have not bounced up and do…
-
A lot of this seems like good advice, but I don't think any of it should be as restricted to any one score level. In general, I think the same things that get someone to a 160 get you to a 170 or a 180.

@"gerth.brooks" said: Thanks for your input everybody! I'm currently averaging 153 on PTs. I will probably postpone because I like the idea of having one good score on my record and know that I can score 170+ once I get "into the mind of th…

If it were me I don't know that I would say I wasn't in anywhere. Maybe just say you will attend if accepted(which is true because you want to go next year and have not been accepted anywhere else). Definitely tell them about the post 9/11 GI bill …

Joint degrees don't really make a lot of sense with a JD unless it is a JD/PhD at a really good school and you want to teach. Usually, the other degree is not necessary to get a legal job. For instance, if you are from a Top 14 in the US and get de…

Maybe practice taking sessions for a while that are timed in the sense that you look at your watch every so often and try to finish them in 35 minutes, but don't actually have the deadline. Once you are able to regularly finish them under 35 minutes…

There are a couple good arguments for postponing. Some schools(Yale) still definitely look at all the scores. So why have one there that is lower than it could have been? Additionally, if you come in underprepared you may underperform making the n…
