I think approach it like you would any other resume - put in the relevant and recent stuff, cut off things in the past that don't matter as much. I've been out of school for 10+ years, so I didn't put in old summer jobs and part time things. There's…

@eRetaker That's good to note. I wonder if BR scores factor into that difficulty rating in LG? That's the main reason I don't pay much attention to analytics for LG. It's not that I have trouble with certain game types, but I mostly miss questions o…

Yeah, I think that's generally pretty true. Although, I feel like game 3 is usually the hardest and 4 a little less. Almost always, the first game is pretty easy, often a 1 layer sequencing, 1 star rating. I think game 2 is sometimes more like a 3 d…

I think generally it's better to have a letter from a supervisor than a colleague. I think your internship supervisor would be a great choice. And no, they won't look down on not having one at your current job. I'd use this 3rd letter only if really…

I've never noticed, but thinking about it and it could be true. It's not a huge difference though, and it's set up the same way, with the correct page lay out. That makes sense what @turnercm said though, probably actual size would make it closer.

Congrats, I'm so glad this worked out for you!

I know this is an old thread, but throwing it out here anyway. I've always wished that the admissions course addressed non-traditional students a little more. I've heard varying things on how applications should be different for non-trads. Is it mor…

I think the biggest argument for the GRE is for dual degrees (like JD/MBA). I think it makes sense that law schools would accept it in that scenario, allowing applicants to only take a single exam. But otherwise, it makes more sense to take the LSAT…

It's not ideal. I'd do a lot of research too, to double check that it would be acceptable by the state bar where you want to practice. It would limit your ability to participate in clinics and get other hands-on experience. It's good that the ABA se…

If you want T25, and that is a very reasonable goal, you should push back a year and re-take. I know right now it probably feels like this is it, this is all you can do. But I highly doubt that. What study materials have you been using? Older test…
-
The only thing I have seen people recommend is The LSAT Trainer. I don't think the Powerscore bibles are either that helpful or work well in conjunction with 7sage. 7sage material is really all-inclusive. I think it has the best foundation to work f…

No, it doesn't have to be law related. It's more that they like students who have 1+ years of full time, post-college work experience. But that doesn't mean K-JDs aren't accepted - they are. But it's a little friendlier to older folks who have more …

There's still hope! It's a tough break having a lower GPA, especially when it's lower than you'd thought it would be. It sounds like this is going to make you a "splitter." Yes, schools will consider your GPA. It just means that you'll need to make …

@keets993 do you know about Canadian schools? I feel like I've seen you on some of the Canadian threads.

I think MSS doesn't rely so much on logic. It's more about parsing what you're reading. That said, I wouldn't worry about doing all of the question sets right now. As long as you feel like you mostly understand the material and how to do those, go a…

Every school words their C&F question differently. I would guess that it would apply to some schools and not others. If I were you, I'd call admissions and just ask a general question, of if they are including high school in that question or jus…

@"carlos.raiz23" It's the cumulative GPA. @NotMyName Good point, that's fair. Just wanted to note if you send a law school, "Hi my name is ____ and my GPA is _____" you need to be using the LSAC one. If your individual school GPA is higher than you…
-
Yes, LSAC transmits your info including your GPA to the schools. I don't believe anyone asks for it separately. But that said, if you are ever asked your GPA, or send it separately to a school for any reason (like while requesting a fee waiver), for…

Great, that's super helpful. Honestly, leave RC alone. It's too tough to improve quickly in that one. You can improve, but it's a much slower process. Agree with @eRetaker that you should work on intensely foolproofing LG. I think that could get yo…
-
But that said, there are also lots of folks around here or other LSAT/law boards that will do essay swaps with you and help you out. There's something to be said for your essay being a true example of your writing skills, without professional help.
-
My personal feeling is that professional editing on your essays can be very helpful, but unless you have really specific circumstances (like are an extreme splitter, or aiming for schools way above your numbers), the full consulting is really all th…

Have to agree with @Ohnoeshalpme. I think you should study your butt off between now and the November test. If you're still working on essays, I'd even mostly put that aside. You could pick that back up as soon as the Nov test is done and apply in l…
