@Hugewhale2 said: I didn't respond till now because I was preparing to go abroad and trying to prep as much as possible prior to the Feb 10th test. Also I woke up sick at 3am on the Wednesday before the test. I went ahead and took the LSAT. …

@gaflparalegal said: Seeking Perfection- thank you for posting this. I had the same question!! Very helpful. Thanks, the one place where I may have sort of diverged from the consensus is that others may recommend getting a 7sage course earli…

@"Leah M B" The first ASW is this coming weekend from Thursday to Saturday. The other one is March 23-24th which is the next weekend. I think a large number of people may have trouble making either if admitted fairly late. I think the New York th…

I like the sprinting example, because I think it also gets at what I felt during the process. Sure its ridiculous to dismiss not being able to finish in time as just a matter of timing when the time constraint is what makes a lot of the test (espec…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: @"Seeking Perfection" Thanks for the thoughtful / thorough response. It actually caused an "ah-ha, that's it!" personal statement moment as I contemplated it during my morning workout. As it turns out, I have absolute…

Well to start with you should know a little bit about the test. There are three section types: logic games(analytical reasoning), logical reasoning, and reading comprehension. There will be 5 sections on your actual test. There will be two logical …

@fifthending @tylerdschreur10 @"Leah M B" @LSATcantwin @elisajelley You are the people I noticed expressing interest in Michigan. If you find out anything interesting, please mention it here so I can hear about it. Things that may be commo…

I'll take a stab at why the reaction to someone's motivation for going into law being "I want to help people" might be negative. First of all, the debt from law school is often crushing. The pay from the "I want to help people" jobs (mostly public …

@"Leah M B" said: @LSATcantwin So far I'm in at 2. WUSTL and a local, low-ranked school (like, sub 100 rank). Silence on everything else but I didn't get any apps in until the end of January, and a couple in mid-February, sigh. I'm expecting m…

It means you are at a disadvantage. They assume everyone has already applied by the deadline. So maybe they have accepted a person they would have preferred to take you over. Theredore, maybe they reject you or waitlist you when they would have acce…

I would retake. I'm forgetting exactly what sort of GPA range you have, but I think it was higher than mine. I had a 172 and about a 3.8. Looking at the numbers using mylsn and law school numbers a couple things were clear. The first was that a sl…

Did you make sure there is no minimum GPA stipulated in the scholarship? That is really important because schools will sometimes stipulate a certain GPA which seems achievable and then use the law school curve and section packing to make sure some …

Twice February 2017 September 2017 Edit: This could make an entertaining poll.

I'll read it if you message it to me, but I can't say I have any real credentials as a C and F addendum reader.

The fact that LSAC seems to lose tests in the mail every year is upsetting. I think you should take an old PT or two to get back in the rhythm and should blind review them again in as much detail as you can. Do that near the start of the week and …

On one of my appps when asked this I said yes and it gave me a description box so I described the 7 sage course. You never know if the admissions officers have someone they know who needs help on the LSAT!

@HarvardHopeful said: @"Seeking Perfection" @"Leah M B" @goingfor99th So since I’m not as done with the LSAT as I swore I was, especially after that brutal Feb release waiting trauma, I have a question. This may not be the best place to…

I feel almost the opposie. I'm still in undergrad and my job is through the university too. We are off for Spring Break and the lack of distractions from the waiting is killing me. I'm still glad it's break, but barely.

Yes, I think you should retake in any case, but especially if logic games wasn't perfect. Last February I took with a goal of 173 and recieved a 172. I was very happy with it, knew it put me in a solid spot, but knew there was a good chance I could…

@10000019 @westcoastbestcoast From what I've read online, it does seem like the risk is that you may learn a lot of material that is unnecessary or not taught from the exact same perspective used by the prof. From that perspective it would sort o…

I'm not inclined to take a formal class. I'd rather use the money on supplements and hornbooks and try to get ahead so I can practice taking exams either in the summer or earlier in the semester. That said with the cost of law school as high as it …

It's difficult to say. It might be natural to do it now in response to the waitlist. Alternatively, you might want to wait until they start getting some people who turn them down.
-
I'd email the places to let them know the good score is coming. They'll notice anyway, but you might as well make them feel like you went out and got the high score just to please them. As far as whether to negotiate now or in a few weeks, I'm not …

It might not be all that common, but it's worth it if there are points left you can get.

Last February logic games went poorly for me. I don't know how poorly, but I didn't finish. I scored well anyway, but decided to retake. 3 months of foolproofing later I had an 8 point increase. Foolproofing works.
