You can feel free to take the Nickelback linear algebra exam for me. I struggled through Calc 3 and 4.0'd it recently enough to take the 96 hours and run rather than studying math for many many times longer. And who knows, you might pull it out. Th…

@Max_henry91 said: Hi all, (if this has already been answered please point me in the right direction), how do the T-14 schools notify applicants of admission decisions? Anyone with specific knowledge chime in and I can get a list going! Duke…

If things go badly at the very end of your prep don't panic. I hardly slept the night before because I was sick with a wierd version of the flu which also caused coughing and hiccuping in addition to the dry heaves. I also couldn't eat the morning …

Since it is binding and you therefore are unlikely to get a scholarship either way I would go with after the February test if you think you can do at all better.

Some schools are more generous than others, but you are going to have to apply more broadly because both admissions and scholarships are just going to be tougher to predict for you.

Your practice tests should have at least 2 LR sections. I would think a 2:2:1 ratio would be the most sensible if you were trying to mimic a 5 section test. Just make your experimental section an old RC section and the rest of the test is already th…

I just found the noisest part of my library. Except for one day where people sat next to me and shouted about their plans regarding Trump it produced a satisfying backround hum of distraction I was able to tune out. But that LR section, I almost did…

A couple of things... I'm not skeptical of TLSers motives in that I think they want us to fail. They have often already graduated and are not competing against us so that is of no aid to them. That said I am skeptical of the idea that they are any …

I doubt it is the timing. I got in on last Sunday with a 180 and a 3.78 which will probably be a below median GPA if this cycle is more competitive. There is a GPA update coming which will give me a 3.81, but they didn't know that when they accepted…

Make it a simple thankyou for the opportunity. Don't worsen any damage by sending an unnecessarily awkward explanation email. It probably isn't as bad as you think. These things are awkward by nature and they may see any stress you exhibit as an in…

It sounds to me like you don't need a PT to see where you are testing, but just need PTs to stay fresh. 1-30 will work fine for that. I got a 180 on a retake of a 172 so there is no eye rolling here. It is just that I had a very straightforward rou…

1) Cost of Attendance (after scholarships, financial aid, interest on loans, and living expenses are factored in) 2) Employment options with USNWR rank as a reasonable proxy within the Top 14. 3) Schools PI related resources including career servi…

I used the logic games bible for my first take and while it was somewhat useful spending that time on 7sage would have been more useful. Eventually, I fully assimilated to the 7sage way of doing games so you might as well start out there and avoid h…

It is much better to spread your prep out over a long period of time than try to do it swiftly at an unsustainable pace. Think about how classes are scheduled. People take several classes at once, but they are stretched out for at least a semester. …

Your not crazy, but it is sort of wildly optimistic. However, let's grant that you get your 165 and get into BC or BU. If you can get to a 165 by February, then you can get a much higher score by say June. I would recommend studying at least until …

I studied espicially reviewing LR questions I had missed while walking. My campus is too big to waste all the walking time on not studying. But, I agree with the sentiment that we all need to do something to relax and walking is a good option. Many…

If an inflexible question-specific approach gets you to the answer, it is still working. I think scanning the question stem first tended to save me time at no cost in terms of accuracy. I could do them the other way and often did at first, but found…

I think at some schools an addendum would be a good idea. I also have an 8 point increase and some schools ask for one if your increase is more than 6. Others in the Top 14 claim they will average if you don't offer a reason not to. Most people don…

I went more with the later route and I got in. I was mostly worried about avoiding yield protection. It is hard to know what you should do, but I didn't want my essays to repeat too much. I think the main reason to carefully address a school's prom…

The GPA addendum seems more important. However, uou could do both. The goal is always going to be to keep them short and sweet. I imagine the GPA one could be fairly brief. If you graduated top 10 percent, were you listed as graduating with honor o…

It is a small diference, but if you are not going to go through all the PTs, I would recommend going through more of the more recent ones first. The other reason 7sage people recommend this approach is that the core curriculum material is drawn fr…

It is definitely going to depend on your section scores, but the gist of it will be that you get to 175 or 180 the same way you got to 170. You learn how to do more of the problems, learn how to the problems more efficiently, or learn how to make fe…

I don't think an addendum would really hurt. However, I would focus it just on the SAT scores and the college GPA and maybe the born in Nicaragua and not exposed to standardized testing part. I would leave out the high AP test scores; they seem like…

The main piece of advice I would give is that it is really difficult to justify the full expense of law school outside of getting a big law job. At full cost, you are looking at over $150000 in tuition plus living expenses. The Top 14 schools have v…
