Thanks for your service, @coolsamuel88. I'm a Marine retiree with 25+ years of active service (enlisted and commissioned) and a sub-3.0 LSAC GPA (a failed first attempt at college prior to enlisting, thanks 19 year old LSAT_Wrecker). My experience w…

I'd list them all. You never know what a reader might find significant. You earned the recognition. Reap whatever benefit you can get.

I'm sure it can be done, because people do it. However, you have to answer the question of what you want your law school experience to be. 10-20 years from now, will you still be happy if you prioritized the job over law school? Either way, seems l…

I can tell you from personal experience this cycle, gaps in your resume draw questions. As an aside, stay-at-home dad is apparently not good enough to cover the gap, but that's a conversation for a different forum.

This was a really good episode. Insightful look at the admissions process from the other side.

Know going in that each 7Sage level includes the exact same instructional material (the core curriculum or CC as we call it). So the actual instruction you have access to is the same regardless of plan level. What each additional level gives you is …

Answer all required questions truthfully. Schools don't "talk to LSAC and see them anyways." LSAC will send them all of your scores recorded in the last five years. You are overthinking it. Be proud of your highest score. Don't worry about the res…

Congratulations on a great acceptance! Enjoy Cornell.

If there is an area of weakness identified by a PT, I would re-mediate that area of weakness before taking additional PTs. If not, then I would expect subsequent PTs to continue to point out that area. In my mind, the LSAT talks to me in a smug voi…

LSAC changed their protocol about early release dates this year in response to "complaints" about uncertain release dates. You can find the below statement at the top of your LSAC home page: A NOTE FROM LSAC’S PRESIDENT REGARDING LSAT SCORE RELEASE…

@lsatplaylist That's a bridge I haven't crossed yet. I'm assuming the retailers will have decent idea of how to ship. At least that's what I'm hoping!

I sent all my recommenders an email thank you when they submitted, an update when I got my first acceptance, and I will send them all a coffee mug from my school of choice when I make my final decision. Good luck!

Not to make anyone waiting for your LSAT score feel worse, but I hate waiting for admissions decisions a whole lot more than I ever did waiting for my LSAT score. I did not think it was possible, but it is

FWIW, I called the county clerk for a adjudication of mine from 21 years ago. They looked it up in the system and told me the details on the phone. I no longer live in that state, but had zero difficulty getting the details.

This is based on an American school so YMMV: One admissions director for a school with "LOR's optional, not required" that I talked to said that 99% of applicants submitted LORs and that good ones usually help, not hurt your cause. Good luck.

I think the useful data point to the original question has been answered: Q: Do any schools pay your CAS fee, A: Yes. For that data point, thanks to the OP and the others who have confirmed this. I fear that this thread is now devolving into a "I g…

I'm not voting because I'm not accustomed to the analysis of retesting at scores of >170, however, I'm currently at or above LSAT median to all the schools I applied to. If (fingers crossed) I get accepted to my top choice school, I'm going to a…

This 30 minute video will make you an expert. FWIW, the admissions adviser at my top choice law school said that she reads the writing sample for the applications she reviews. YMMV. Good luck tomorrow!

It might help you to shift the focus from "what is the specific answer to this one question that I'm listening to" to what is the structure and form of this question, why is this one answer choice right, why are these four answer choices wrong, and …
-
Something that might help you is to shift away from using sections and PTs as scored events within themselves to instead using them as diagnostic tools. Using a section or PT as a diagnostic tool allows you to identify areas of weakness and then ret…

Shut yo mouth. #teamsoybean for life!

Since you are testing above your goal score, I'd take it and see. The worst thing that can happen is that you are not happy with the outcome and you delay a cycle. The best thing that can happen is that you hit your goal and hit submit on your apps.…

@john1roger said: Red Dead Redemption 2 I'd go with the full Matrix series (movies x 3 plus The Animatrix) myself, but I think we have the same idea of what to do with the time.

The test is in 5 days. Are you going to take 2 full PTs, review them completely, re-mediate identified weaknesses, and then give yourself time to mentally recover in those 5 days? Seems to be a tight turn IMHO. I would suggest lightening up the loa…

A few thoughts: What does "most of the course" mean? Most people here (me included) will tell you that 3-4 PTs a week is waaaaayy too many. Ideally, after a PT, you should be conducting an in-depth review of the test, identifying areas of weaknes…

@ChaimtheGreat said: Relaxing. Most of the hard work is over. You should know you approach to each section by now. I would continue to drill to stay sharp. Maybe repeat a section you did well on. This week is all about maintaining confidence. …

Do not take another test. Review the test you just took, learn from the mistakes, and engage lightly thereafter until test day. You have done the work. Let your brain process the material and recover from your studies. In my last PT prior to the Se…

I think your understanding of the 7Sage levels is a bit off. The instruction provided in 7Sage (the Core Curriculum) is identical in every level. What differs among the levels is the amount of additional drilling materials and PTs included. More of…

Personally, I'd go to the open house; however, I think an argument can be made for either. TBH, open houses < individual visits in making personal connections with admissions staff because there are usually many more people at open houses. Howeve…
