  • Waitlisted at Penn.
  • At the 5 minute mark. Options 2 and 3 are cheating and if they catch you it could be serious. If you are going to have time left anyway as in option 4 then doing it at the 5 minute mark will be fine.
  • The blind review of 154 shows that you need to continue working on thing untimed for a while before you start worrying too much about PTs. If you can't get your goal score untimed, you are not going to get it timed. If you give us your section brea…
  • @goingfor99th said: It may take you a minute or two to re-engage with the LSAT once you return from your break, but I can't imagine you'll think about much else other than the LSAT while you are on the break. I'm sure that won't be much of a p…
  • @"Mr. Informal Logic" said: I have tried deleting and re-installing the app but the LG’s will not play. It has never worked for me either on either of my phones Galaxy S5 and LG G6. I assume the other videos from the curriculum will play ri…
  • I had been assuming they would contact us before the deadline. Maybe email them when the deadline is about a week away to both express your continued interest and ask this question. They'll probably just give you a later deadline if they accept you…
  • Yes, and some people do get big scholarships when accepted off the waitlist, but you only have leverage if after all the effort of waiting to get in, you are willing to say no if the price is too high and go with another option or wait a cycle.
  • @rbfqueen said: @"Seeking Perfection" Thanks so much again for the advice! A few questions...I already sent in my LOCI. I decided not to mention my intent to retake. For one, I'm not registered yet (want to wait and see how my prep goes o…
  • @rbfqueen said: Thanks for the enouragement, @"lsatisland", @"grace.tang.ca", and @"Seeking Perfection"! My first choice school is UNC. I'm way below their medians, so I'm honestly surprised that they didn't straight up ding me. I only ap…
  • @3984589235 said: It's not just law students. I read an interesting article about a guy who worked in a Big Law-type environment in the NY Times several months ago. He was addicted to drugs and I'd guess that he almost certainly suffered from …
  • I think we can post links. The imposter syndrome sounds like it might be particularly high at Harvard. The other things depression, anxiety, and alcoholism are largely baked into law school and the profession. 1L year is often described as one of t…
  • @spahnnster said: I'm waitlisted at my top choice. Not accepted anywhere. I'm already studying for a June retake, about to submit my LOCI tonight, and will have an additional LOR sent next week. What else should I be doing? Should I visit agai…
  • I think this is where it turns into a judgement call. I'm trying to negotiate before the deadline because I don't think my negotiation will actually work and my decision is pretty clear cut in the absence of a scholarship increase. I sent my negoti…
  • Negotiate. Even if you don't apply to other schools, they know you could sit out altogether and apply to other schools. I might actually phrase it that way if you are willing to sit out for a year. You could admit that they are your number one schoo…
  • If you have been accepted at any peer schools without scholarships, you could go to them and tell them about your main school's offer to try to get a better offer from them as leverage. They might only let you negotiate once so you want to make it …
  • @storm said: Hey, Any advice on dealing with GPA addendums that address very sensitive topics? I went to my first uni for freshman year and into November of sophomore year. Verbal harassment (and a video posted online of him doing it…
  • @mcglz_64 said: Just saw they also got some $$. I guess it could be yield protection - I'm not sure how YP works really. My numbers are right in their range though, but it's possible? Yield protection is always possible if they are not absol…

  • Tests you have nottajen before will be better diagnostics though tests you have already taken are still good practice.

  • I don't know what the process is exactly, but if you need accomodations for a legitimate medical problem you should definitely get them. There isn't an asterisk. Even if there were, there would be nothing to be ashamed of. Now as to your personal s…
  • @mcglz_64 said: I know it's early to think about this, but what are some typical/ideal jobs for the 1L summer? I know for your 2L summer you should be looking at law firms, but I heard firms are increasingly hesitant to hire 1Ls. Just trying t…
