I think it's definitely worth asking other professors instead! I understand why you're taking it personally, but there's no way to know what's really going on here (she might just not have time and doesn't want to say no...). If you're applying this…
Northeastern isn't top 20 but is more focused on public interest than anywhere else (except maybe CUNY) and has an amazing full ride public interest scholarship.

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 d…
The fee waivers don't seem to be based on only stats alone. I've seen threads where people who have both lower LSAT scores and lower GPAs than me are getting fee waivers I didn't receive. I'm not sure entirely how it works. I did get Cornell's and n…
Sorry! I already promised it to someone else I took the LSAT already and never really used the trainer - not for any particular reason, but now I don't need it anymore!
My strategy is to answer each question at the first pass (so I have at least a filled in bubble for every question and don't run out of time and then lose the chance to guess at any questions I don't know the answer to). But, if the question is more…
I know there's a serious time crunch, but even taking 5 seconds to look away from the test, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths (maybe even while giving yourself a pep talk about getting psyched about focusing!) does wonders. It's basically …
This might sound silly, but I think as much as you can distance yourself from that score, the more confident you'll feel. You can clearly score higher than that - you were doing that consistently before! Everyone has off days, and maybe one of yours…
Even taking a break of a few days can help you reset your mind and bring a fresh approach. Remind yourself that you still have a lot of time between now and June -- LSAT improvement wasn't linear for me and I found that maintaining my optimism (even…
I think definitely time yourself in the whole section rather than just individual games. Part of the strategy for LG that I have found helpful is to not do games in order. I look at all 4 games and then do any seemingly obvious sequence games and tr…
For LR I actually think once you get to a certain comfort level you can save a lot of time by picking the answer out immediately without eliminating all 4 wrong answer choices. I found that doing that with any questions I could gave me enough time a…
I'm still really confused about criteria for waivers. I truly believe that higher ed and standardized testing (and the legal profession) exist to perpetuate the oppressive power dynamics of the status quo, so I'm really no fan of any of them but: I …
I was wondering the same thing. I haven't gotten some of the fee waivers that other folks with both lower GPAs and LSAT scores have gotten (Berkeley, for example) - can anyone offer an explanation? Ive been signed up for CRS since August. Money is a…
Thanks, yeah it makes sense that the schools would have the most accurate info but I don't really feel comfortable asking them these questions (seems kinda flippant when I'm then going to turn around and ask/beg them for admission!). Wondering if an…

@Kayyyyyyy , I understand the inherent problem with terms like "reverse racism," and I apologize if my comment came across that way. Racism is obviously not a legitimate basis for an argument.
To clarify my meaning…

Hey everyone, so far so good on this thread, but this is a sensitive subject, so let's all just bear that in mind and grant the legitimacy of the opposing argument. It's important and appropriate to debate this, let's j…
