You don't have anything to lose with a February take. However, if it turns out really well and you don't think your results(either admissions or scholarships) reflect that or you think you could do better on another retake, seriously consider waitin…

I think it is a stretch. Northwestern really likes work experience so maybe if their median dropped to a 167 this year you might have a shot there. However, it seems like LSAT medians are more likely to rise than fall this year with the increased nu…

All the 7 sage logic games explanations are free online. I would start using them regardless of whether you get the starter course and do the core curriculum. Additionally, it might be best to try to master the games by type first. This happens nat…

@Hamaseh_S Thank her for the honesty and move on. This is exactly why we word the request that way. If they are reluctant whether out of laziness, business, lack of a high opinion of you, lack of confidence in their letter of rec writing abilitie…

Either write the diversity statement about something else or don't write it at all. There is no reason to steal the personal statement's thunder. That said something like a disability, poverty, or being the first generation in college are all things…

@anonclsstudent For me the reason for the line in the sand between paid essay services and free servicesseems easiest to defend so we will start there. My opposition is to anything which changes the landscape of law school applications in a way w…

As a former taker of the February LSAT, I can tell you there is nothing terrifying about it. It is scored the same as the others and I tested one point below my average. It was annoying to never know which sections I missed questions in. It also is…

http://mylsn.info/xema9f/ I think you might be being a little bit too grim about the literal chances of admission. I'm not sure how well it works for predicting URMs cycles, but mylsn which automatically searches through the data from law school nu…

WUSTL will be good for the negotiating power. Michigan could be good because they might give you some scholarships, have a fairly solid LRAP, and will be lower cost of living than Chicago or New York. Penn, Duke, and maybe Cornell and UVA might be …

@"marino.zach" said: @"Cant Get Right" that's a great point. My main thought process in doing that many was just to get used to the timing of the test and sitting and focusing for that long, since that's a challenge for me. I was going to do…

I'd try one right after the CC. If it reveals some weaknesses which is likely, work on them for a while before PTing again. PT again when you think the weaknesses are addressed. One of these early weaknesses is likely to be the whole games section a…

If you are applying top 3, then sink the fees and if it works this cycle, go. Generally, people worry about applying late because there are fewer scholarships available. Those schools don't offer merit scholarships so it is a moot point. If it doesn…
