@LCMama2017 From personal experience, I thoroughly enjoyed working with David Busis on my application. His help truly helped me write an essay that is representative of myself and I was able to get into a number of s…

Thank you @LCMama2017 for dropping some wisdom!! I will definitely prepare some substantive questions to ask during the tour. Would you also recommend going to the mixer if a law school is hosting a night out in tow…
I've been to several open houses and most people are dressed casually. My first time I wore business casual clothing with some nice higher-heeled boots, well, what a bad idea. I was so uncomfortable and there was a lot of walking. I now wear jean…

I'm glad you found it helpful Once you finish the CC, you should spend time fool proofing LG. I started in your range (my first PT score after completing PowerScore books was a 142; my cold diagnostic was probably in high 1…
I visited my dream school, Columbia, and decided it was not for me. I mean its not like I would have gotten in anyway but I still needed to visit. The commute, first of all, would be a nightmare. It would be close to two hours one way. Also, most…

@akistotle I didn't even think about lsat tutors. That is a great idea. The lsat score is def the key and you are right, much better way to spend my money. Thank you for that advice. I would love to go to school this fall but I am prepared to n…
@jkatz1488 I would rather not do that but I may not have a choice. I just don't want to because that's another year of delay and at 44 I'm not getting any younger. I agree with you that the LSAT score has to come up to a decent number.
Hey all - thank you for your thoughts. Very helpful. Target or realistic schools are Rutgers, Seton Hall, Villanova and Cardozo. Villanova is ranked 77th so that's probably as low as I'll go. GPA is sub 3.0 and LSAT was just under 140. Crappy an…

Mannnn being a splitter sucks! I wish I could go back 10 years and kick 18 year old me in the ass....haha
Me and you both... yep, sucks.
First - let me preface by saying that this thread is over 3 years old. But I wanted to post it because of the helpful advice by @blah170blah. In the last few days I've had some major anxiety over the June test (yes, June and its Feb). Dealing wit…
I think you should def include the extra activities. And def the honor sociery and leadership positions. Skills and employement matter but everyone has those. Set yourself apart by including your mentoring, boxing and dancing.

I would highly suggest you do the videos in order. There is also a schedule of how many hours a week you should be studying depending on the package you get and your test date. This will be helpful for you to look at before you buy.

You sound like me just about a year ago. I'm surprised that you found bad reviews for the LSAT Trainer - I've actually heard very good things about it.
Well, I'm a 7Sager so I am a bit biased but here is my story. I took Kaplan last summer and li…
Thank you David. I have been debating about contacting your team for help with the current cycle. This helps to get my butt in gear.
And congratulations on the paternity leave : ). Its nice to see men take the leave also.

This was exactly where I was last February. I had managed a 172 despite not finishing the logic games section and knew I could do better if I could improve on games.
I bought the starter course because I wanted…
Also - take a look @jkatz1488's response to another similar question to yours - "How do you guys identify your weaknesses/drill". He has a different perspective to consider re drilling while still working on the CC.
I think if you are doing very well so far then, sure, you may want to start drilling by combining a few of the questions of various difficulty levels. You can certainly continue to mix and match questions as you go further along in the CC. I have …

@xadrianas6x said: FYI, Walmart and some other places sell pre-sharpened natural wood #2 pencils (Ticonderoga I think?). I adore them. Ready to go, right out of the box. They'll be my go-to for testing. I haven't read that there is a limit yo…

@akistotle I didn't actually visit, haha. But I did hear from my friend in Philly that it was actually as crazy as all the news and barstool sports made it look!
So - it was all heasay huh? Mmmmhmmm.
