Actually, what I mean is that models are good for making broad generalities. However, you cannot take that broad generality and expect identical outcomes when you make a prediction of a single person (yourself in this instance). Single person / n=…

I like the 7Sage predictor. Just remember, all statistical models break down when n=1.

I would take. I would also not cram in the last week. Do light work to keep yourself engaged, but give your mind a chance to rest so you can roll into the test fresh. Also, focus on the fact that you are taking January as well so you don't stress yo…

One more PT is probably not going to substantially change the outcome of your studies. One thing almost guaranteed to impact your test day is your mental well-being and confidence. Do whatever it takes to ensure you show up to your test mentally on …
-
Yeah, you should definitely disclose that.
-
I offer a slightly different opinion. Take as many as you need to take in order to feel confident you can attain your target score. One popular rule of thumb is take enough that your running average of the last 5 tests is 2-3 points above your tar…

@tekken1225 said: Thanks for the advice. So lay off PTs altogether now? Part of me is thinking take at least 1 more so that hopefully I will score what I have been scoring before this recent drop, to boost my confidence before the real thing…

No one ever likes to hear "postpone", but given how far you have between your best score and your goal score, I would wait.
-
Best thing I did for my mental well-being prior to my last test was to stop taking PT’s 2 weeks out. The hay is in the barn. I’d focus on light work to keep you fresh. Give yourself time to process all that you have learned and trust that you wil…

To me, this sounds like a "yes" and therefore you should disclose. However, I am a firm believer in the "when in doubt, call the admissions office" school of thought.
-
If you bring your mother, tell her not to make the student-led tour stop and wait until she finds the alumni picture of her son (applicant's brother) and two brothers (applicant's uncles) who all went to the same school. I'm so happy that they were …

7Sage does hourly consulting that may be what you want. I had an extremely positive experience using it myself.
-
When in doubt, call the admissions office. They are the best source of direction for these types of questions.

I've been to two open house type events this year. Dress - Business casual to both. Matched the majority of other applicants, although I saw the full spectrum from suits to shorts/jeans. Scheduling - The first open house was meet and greet, class…

Great job. Sending positive vibes out for you!
-
I would call LSAC as soon as you can and just be honest about your situation. They can tell you your options. As far as January, that depends on the schools you are targeting and how competitive you are. Its probably not too late as long as you ha…
-
I would call the school and not worry about it at all (easier said than done, I know). I guarantee this has happened before and its not a new thing to them. At worst, it will be very obvious when they go to watch the video that something is wrong. A…

Just started The Buffalo Creek Disaster because of this thread. It is really good so far. Thanks!

Please don't prioritize the LSAT over the birth of a family member...

If you did not identify with a culture before a commercial test, I would question your motivation an identifying with it now. Will you continue to identify with that culture after the results of this admissions cycle?
-
It varied for me, but I found my sweet spot to be right around 4 hours a day. Any more than that and I started to get fuzzy and burnt out.
-
Congratulations! Great effort and result.
-
If it were me, I would hit the question types you identified as weak first before PTing again. A PT is a diagnostic tool to me. It identifies weak areas that I then go try to clean up. Repeated PTs will likely just continue to expose those same weak…

Almost a month later. One happy acceptance, pending on 7 other apps. I've explored the dark and mysterious depths of reddit's "lawschooladmissions" and "lawschool", mylawschoolnumbers, and lawschoollife. I also check Spivey's Class of 2021 medians s…

Adding to @FixedDice 's comments, I also believe the "scaling" that happens is across the sum total of the last three years of testing (both US and international), not against the number of people that show up to any one sitting of any LSAT. ETA: 1…

I heard that when you paid your seat deposit, your school of choice would send you a t-shirt with your LSAT score and uGPA on it to wear to orientation. Is that not a thing?

@10000019 said: The schools mentioned all have solid loan forgiveness programs. I have one offer in hand that will result in me having $0.00 in student loans the day I graduate from law school. In my calculus, that trumps any student loan …

Agree this is totally on you and your goals. For example, as a guy who will sit for the bar at age 50 and will at most work ~20 years in the legal profession (in public interest), full ride scholarships (and graduating with zero student loans) are v…
