  • You wouldn't be locked in since you could still withdraw and forfeit the seat deposit, but you would have less leverage than waiting until the next cycle. If you waited a cycle you would be able to negotiate based on acceptances which you would secu…
  • @yawbrobbey said: Awesome! Congrats! What is CC by the way? The Core Curriculum.
  • @rklute85 Just to throw a little ethical wrinkle in here, I thought I would offer my opinion on the matter. I have not and will not use an admissions service to edit my personal statement because with all due respect to 7sage, I believe it is une…
  • I'm writing/have written at least one optional essay for all my schools and multiple if I feel they are applicable. I don't want any of my schools thinking of themselves as backup schools. That's how I wind up hanging out on their waitlists instead…
  • @"surfy surf" I don't really know much about many other options since like you, I decided 7 sage was my best choice. I will tell you the 7sage methods are sound(they got me to a 180). I would also say the biggest edge over the competition to my l…
  • @sarahmelton6 said: @kimmy_m66 answered my question @ https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/14336/here-was-my-study-schedule-for-my-20-point-increase. I'm still interested in other's advice too. https://classic.7sage.com/discussi…
  • @Christina-5 Sounds good. Just keep in mind you don't have to go in 2018 if you don't think whatever scholarship offer they give you after June is fair. You can always wait and try to get other accptances the next year to help you negotiate a bett…
  • It is not too much, but as @"Leah M B" said, most of the time is in the review. I did two PTs a weekend, but not one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Instead I did two back to back on Saturday. Instead of taking a break after three sections, I took …
  • @"lauren.kirichkow" said: Question, I received a 143 on my lsat and the school I'm looking at 25th percentile is a 145. However, my gpa is well over their 75th percentile. I have already submitted my applications, do I ask the school to hold t…
  • I'm not a 7sage tutor, but I would recommend that you work on foolproofing logic games if you are missing many in the section. They are usually the easiest section to improve in the one monthish time frame. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/di…
  • @LSATcantwin I'm not sure if you were planning on it or not, but I would definitely recommend applying to WUSTL. They are willing to throw scholarships out there for high LSAT scores. Regardless of whether you wind up going there or cracking the T…
  • I only know how to use one and only have taken a pair of classes on it and used it for a few other projeccts. Nonetheless, I listed it under languages as: Python(programming language): Intermediate Competency Then for balance in the language sectio…
  • @morelljt said: When should I start actually cracking down and studying for the LSAT? I'm a freshman in college so I know I'm suuuuper early, but many of my friends are pre-med and they're discussing doing MCAT study sessions starting this upc…
  • If you are PTing in the 160s I definitely wouldn't let one bad test make you think you are not mentally capable of getting that score. You obviously are. Either you perforned badly by chance or the pressure got to you. Either of these says nothing a…
  • @cal270 said: I'm hoping to submit apps in the next week or so. Just got my December score and am relatively pleased. Has anyone here reached out for a fee waiver? Is it too late to do so now? If not, do I simply make a polite request wit…
  • I have not been in the situation, but you should probably take it again and write an addendum explaining the bubbling error. Law schools won't have any evidence to believe it is a bubbling error until they see your retake score though. Additionally…
  • @"shanghuimei.li" said: What is an “accommodation”? Is it the same as writing a petition to schools for your February score to be considered for this year-round application? No, accomodations are when disabled test takers are given certain t…
  • They probably don't care that you scored two points lower(within the margin of error) so an addendum isn't needed. What does matter is that you don't have the higher score yet. A 164 is a big difference and a 172 a way bigger difference. If you kno…
  • http://mylsn.info/6wmzsi/ They don't look good with a 167. http://mylsn.info/sislgu/ They look solid with a 170. A lot of these schools have median LSATs between 167 and 170 so if you could just bump your LSAT those couple of points your odds go…
  • @clairealettabrady said: Hi there, I had severe test day anxiety and froze up during the test. I just got my score and its a 155. My preptests were solidly 170-174. I have a 3.98 GPA from a top college. I am applying for accommodations fo…
  • Harvard, Yale, and Stanford don't offer any merit based aid, but do offer excellent Loan Repayment Assistance Programs(LRAPs) and need based aid. The rest all offer full tuition merit scholarships. Some may even include stipends for their top schol…
  • @cgracia12 said: This is why I would really like to briefly mention it, since it did the same thing for me and led me to law. This briefness is the part that sort of concerns me. How do you intend to briefly mention it? It seems to me like …
  • I recommend answering all the questions on your applications that apply to you. I found my GPA on an old copy of my resume, but if I hadn't, I assume I could have just called my high school.
  • I am a splitter at some schools below 25th GPA above 75th LSAT. I gained 8 points from my February take to my September take(172-180). I only studied for 3 and a half months or so during the summer, but I studied close to full time. I definitely thi…
  • The reality is that what you do the day before is probably unimportant. My anectdotes: The first time I had only been studying for three weeks so I wanted to use every bit of time to study that I could and I took two PTs the day before. I got a goo…
  • @akistotle said: @Amaldonado178 said: There is a rule I am not able to understand and how I would write it out as a rule during my sketch. I believe it is a hybrid game...sequencing and not sure what else. In a game disall…
  • The plurality of advice seems to say not to title it, however I was not raised so poorly that I could fail to title an essay. In my opinion it is a matter of necessity to title all essays if not out of professionalism, then out of humanity. It als…
  • @goingfor99th said: The conversations that take place at T14 schools seem different than the conversations that take place at lower ranked schools. I don't say that to be cruel. At Stanford, the in-class conversations are hard to keep up with …
  • I would take them totally seriously. I think what they are saying though is a financial statement rather than one about what you should do. I think TLS means to say that unless you go to a Top 14 or could and elect to take a scholarship instead, law…
  • So just to be clear, you knew you were working on the wrong visa? Or it was an accident? If it was an accident, I think there is not too much danger here. You want to be in a position to understand the law and inform people of it because no one was…
