I take what TLS says with a grain of salt. I believe that there are two kind of people that want to be a lawyer.
1) The kind that is only in it for the money and has not real interest in practicing law and wants to …

I am pretty sure LSAC GPA counts up to your first Bachelors. A masters definitely wouldn't count and another Bachelors probably wouldn't boost it either. A mediation certificate might be a good way to continue doing good work in a way slightly more …

I'm hoping to self study. The courses seem too short to actually contain much of value.
The general consensus from law students seems to be that reading Getting to Maybe or some other book about how law school exams work can be good, but you should…
Cost of attendance being equal seems unlikely. Cost of living at U of M is a lot cheaper than in Chicago. So with the same scholarship U of M would be a lot cheaper. If you have scholarship offers at both schools, the chance of Northwestern's schola…
Apply early in the cycle. It demonstrates interest. And frankly if they are going to let you in with a 3.7 they probably won't reject you before your fall grades are in with a 3.66.
If you apply early and then promptly send your updated grades you …

From what I have seen Top 25s are generally too risky to attend at full price. They can't match the LRAP(loan repayment assistance programs) of the Top 14. This means that if you don't get a high paying job it will be tougher to repay your debt. Add…

I used the LR and Logic Games. Bibles prior to 7sage. I didn't need the help in LR, but the LR bible didn't seem quite as thorough as the core curriculum.
In logic games the techniques felt fairly different than 7sage. I don't think it would be goo…

Thanks so much for the Logic Games Attack Strategy and for this AMA!

Do you think doing a journal is worthwhile if it isn't law review? What if it is law…
I think people usually send in the LOCI right after the deposit deadline because that's when schools start to look back to the waitlist. You don't want to send it in earlier because the later you send it(while still getting it in before they might s…
What does doing a LR section look like for you? I'm a little concerned from your description that you might just be doing a blind review and not a normal review too.
You should take each LR section timed, circling the questions which you are uncomf…
The way it might end up making you pay multiple deposits is if you were in at a school right now whuch you were willing to attend in fall so you deposit and plan to go there, but then you end up getting into another school you like more and deposit …
If the GRE is simply being used by GW to improve yield by attracting applications and then turning almost everyone down this may work even better in the short run.
You will be a splitter if you can get your LSAT above the 75th. And admissions are not hopeless for splitters. You'll have a fair chance, but apply broadly. First get the great LSAT score though. Then worry about whether you are a splitter and what …
The above advice is good for fixing your pattern of winding up on the last passage with 5 minutes left.
However, if you end up there anyway, I recommend bubbling in a random answer choice(I used c) for the remaining questions then reading through t…

Are there any patterns to the LR question types you tend to miss? If you don't know, you need to enter your practice tests into 7 sage's grader. If there is a pattern, go back to the CC and problem sets for that question type until you are confident…
