OMG. This is the besssssst!! 😱🍻🙌🏻💃🏼🎉🎉🎉
-
Agreed with all the above. The only thing you really can do is work on your fundamentals and get good at all types of games. And then when you get a misc game, you have tools to improvise with. There are usually elements of sequencing or grouping in…
-
As the others said, the difference between them in BigLaw numbers is negligible. I think you’d likely need to decide based on what school you think is just a better fit. East coast and west coast are very different vibes, obviously, and the schools …
-
Guys I love the discussion here but think this may be in the territory of too much detail. We have to tread carefully about discussing specific things from tests before they are released publicly, per LSAC rules. @akistotle would be a better judge,…
-
Bumping again for today’s testers!
-
Yep, answer above. Email or call admissions and ask.
-
To my knowledge, schools will see it. They see cancel and absent, the only one they don’t is if you withdraw before the deadline. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. I’d call LSAC to see if they might possibly have lenience with the extenuating circumsta…
-
I know the feeling... I’ve paid for 5 LSATs and only taken it twice lol. You’re welcome, LSAC. Thanks for the withdraw reminder... I withdrew a few days ago too. Sigh.
-
I’d probably contact LSAC to complain because I do think that they should know when their proctors are terrible. But to my knowledge, that is the only remedy they offer - cancel your score and allow you to take the next one for free.
-
Wow omg. That is awful. I’d definitely be in touch with LSAC ASAP to find out how they will remedy it. Not a lot of precedence for that happening, I’ve never heard of proctors no-showing.
-
Ugh I’m sorry man. I really appreciate the way you are taking responsibility though. I think a very brief C&F disclosure would likely be warranted, I’m pretty sure all schools you apply to will receive the write up of what happened. I’d encourag…
-
@Bamboosprout Sort of. It's specifically for first generation students. The prompt is above.
-
Oh man... so sorry about the flu! I got it last year. Well, this year really... in late January, right as I was trying to finish applications. I literally sent out some of my apps while I was in my bed with a 101 fever lol. Just crossed my fingers h…
-
@jurislaw Sure. But again, the data have consistently shown that you have a better chance at acceptance applying early rather than late. Sometimes things happen, like for me last year, and late apps are your only choice. But if we're not discussing …
-
Interesting... I think that technically, the answer is yes. However, is that bolded text from LSAC or the school? That seems to say that they will either not send or not accept the CAS report until both letters have been received. I think what I wo…

Hi! I'm planning on applying to BLOS but haven't written an essay yet. Happy to read yours, and maybe a raincheck on reading mine in a few weeks?
-
@Rtwrtw08 I think it just depends on each school and how they handle it. I wouldn't be surprised either if the quality of the students applying earlier does tend to be a little better. Those are mostly going to be the ones who have been preparing, w…
-
Awesome, glad you got it!
-
I work full time, and generally spent 2-3 hours per weekday (take 1 weekday off to avoid burnout) and 4-5 each on Saturday and Sunday.
-
I think it depends on your own sort of processing and temperament. I know myself, and that if I BR an LSAT that I took, and especially if I bombed it, that I'll end up just kicking myself for my dumb mistakes and it won't put me in a good head space…
-
Agreed with the others. You need to wait to take the LSAT until you are consistently scoring on PTs at least in the upper 160s. With a 168+ you'll have a shot at T14. Low 160s won't get you there (unless you are a URM... then it might be a stretch b…
-
I would say no unless maybe if you were taking summer classes (if you did take summer classes, I would call admissions and ask specifically). The "academic year" is typically defined just as the school year... like September through May or whatever …
-
Nope, you're totally fine to do that as long as it's an analog watch. If you have a few dollars to spare, I highly recommend the Casio watch with a rotating bezel to make things even easier: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Classic-Quartz-Resin-Watch/d…
-
@NotMyName summed it up well. That's a very doable jump but a very tight time frame. I honestly think it's unlikely that you'll hit that goal. But, everyone is different. It took me about 9 months of studying while working full time to go from 155 t…
-
Generally, no. It might be a tiny boost, but not super consequential. Law schools like having diverse classes though so anything that makes you stand out can be like a soft factor. But it’s nothing you can count on or really measure.
-
It’d be nice, because that would sure make me feel better about bombing the LSAT this past June lol. But honestly, I don’t think there’s much to that. The LSAT is very well done so that the exams are all similar difficulty and the grading scale is …
-
Agreed with the others above! You don’t need to have some impressive thing on your resume. If you work for a year as a barista and take your spare time to raise the LSAT, you’d be in so much better shape than trying to rush. I know it might feel dis…
-
Yeah, what @Alex said. The only school I've heard of that specifically cares about it is Stanford. Unless the recommender is an alum of the school, tailoring it to each isn't required and may or may not be any boost. I think it'd be an ok approach t…
-
I'm late to this, but I think absolutely the best thing for you to do is stop studying and don't touch anything LSAT related for 2-3 days. Seriously. Your brain needs a break. PTs every 2-3 days is way more than I would ever even recommend. This has…
-
Yeah I had a feeling this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I agree with @msk12345 and @Louislepauvre. Your best solution is to take a year off to work after school and take the LSAT only when you're ready. You're not even close to your goal …
