even their automated response email states: "Note that we do not accept February LSAT scores for admission consideration in the same year."

What you should do is to worry about spinning whatever GPA you wind up with later. For now get as high of a GPA as you can and then later as good of an LSAT score as you can.

It is late if you wanted to apply for certain scholarships from NYU with deadlines of Jan 1 or certain early decision deadlines from places like Northsestern.

The community is great, the reviews are great, but frankly I think the biggest selling point for me when I decided to buy was the free logic games explanation videos.

Hi Friends!
I am hoping for some advice.
My situation: I am a college senior who, due to unforeseen circumstances, only completed 1/2 of the CC last summer and hasn't looked at 7sage since September. Admittedly, I …
You should still apply before February though.
Just let them know you are retaking in February. They are not going to pretend not to hear the valuable information the February score tells them, they just want most of their apps in by February.

The Epstein thing? It confused me too. I gave up on it and maybe UCLA in general because I seemed unqualified for it and it still didn't seem to guarantee much. The website says most people have post graduate experience. I also just couldn't ever fi…

You sound solid on games.
It does sound like timing is something to work on with the other sections. I'm not sure how best to do it best without fresh PTs. I don't usually recommend skipping, but a more aggressive skipping strateg…

It could help you. It's hard to tell with that sort of a timeline.

I think you should still apply ED to Penn. If you get rejected and then perform better on the Febrauary LSAT then you won't have Penn in your cycle. However, you would still get some good result in the lower part of the top14. However, wh…
I would recommend not taking it in February. That said, if you feel you have to, I would try to focus on making substantial gains in one section before the test.
Usually the easiest section to improve is logic games so I would start with that. Begi…
