@octablue said: Do you guys know if Kira records during Cornell's written questions? I'm thinking of having some notes as prep but I don't think it would look good if they see me glancing at papers, even if its for the written questions only (…

Yeah I’d give it a couple days to see what happens and then call LSAC. Sometimes things just take a minute to process I think.

It shows you’re passionate about something and have been advocating for people. Not sure why you’d think law schools wouldn’t want to see it. Many people with law degrees go on to careers in politics. It’s very relevant and I think it’s great for yo…

I would say yes to 1 and no to 2, unless you talk to the prof and ask if he would be able to write a strong letter. A letter from a prof that describes you as just an ok student won’t help you get into law school and could hurt. They’re not looking …

Yes I’d recommend looking into accommodations if you think extra time would help. And it’s hard to say if you should re-take without knowing your goals. T14 aside, where do you want to go? What do you need to go there?

@"Tatyana L." said: Do I have to request that they generate a report? I got an email today that all my transcripts have been received, but no report that I can find. It takes a while for LSAC to process. I think minimum 2 weeks, but this tim…

I did most of my PTs at a local library, to somewhat simulate noise on test day, or at least having other people around. I occasionally even did a PT in a coffee shop, to practice having lots of distracting sounds. Always practiced with the 7sage pr…

I don't know about Columbia, but I do know that NYU has student housing. I feel like I've read not great things about it, but it's an option and significantly cheaper than renting on your own in Manhattan. I really don't know NYC at all, so not sure…

In LG, I've started skipping the rule substitution questions. They are a total time suck for me and I'm bad at them. I'll come back if I have time. For LR, especially when the clock is winding down, I'll sometimes skip questions that are longer. Li…

Ah, I was confused too. I did 2 or 3 of those Kira interviews last year. I think Cornell's is the one I bombed the worst lol. Yeah, these automated video interviews are just dang tough. I think the best approach is to have your thoughts jotted down…

I think 3 is the ideal number to have on hand. Agree with @Alex that you should at least get the letter, and you can decide later whether or not to use it. I think you should default to using the 2 academic LORs, and if you need a 3rd for some reas…

Yes agreed with @Bamboosprout here. So in the first statement, we know: many people have some type of security system. Things that could be true: Of the people with security systems, some have 4 types of systems installed (video, alarm, motion s…

No, you cannot infer that from the first example. Let's say there are 2 As that exist. So we know, all those As are Bs. But what if there are 50 Bs in total? So those 2 As are only a small amount. Then, even if most Bs are Cs, those 2 Bs that are a…

Yes, LORs need to be sent in to LSAC from the professors directly. There is an option in the CAS system for you to choose to waive your right to see the letters - this is very highly recommended to be checked. You should waive that right. As far as …

@NotMyName Just shy of T20, but I looked at some old emails to refresh my memory and I received a waiver from Emory prior to having an LSAT score last year. I got way more fee waivers after I took the LSAT though, so I think many won't send until th…
-
@Ohnoeshalpme Very true. I think the question here is along the lines of when a person on the board asks for help breaking a plateau and we all ask about BR to see if you have "fundamentals" down. I think of issues like timing, skipping, etc to be m…

@"Claire Z." said: Leah, how does LSAC standardize our GPAs? Thanks for the good advice. I definitely don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I appreciate it! Here's some info on what LSAC does to convert grades: https://www.lsac.org…

What @akistotle said. It’s highly highly advised that you choose to waive your rights to see the letters with LSAC (something you would’ve had to choose before your recommender uploads your letter. But, you are allowed to see it if your recommender …
-
I don’t think it’s as much of an era thing as it is school by school policy. I’m in the same boat. I transferred from a school that does give A+s (which I had one) to a school that doesn’t (boo). LSAC standardizes our GPAs, though it irritates me th…
-
I very very much only would like to go to one particular school. But short of getting a lot of scholarship money (which looks iffy), realistically it may not happen. I don’t know if I’d want to push back yet another year just for this one school tho…

35 haha. 13 years of full time post-college work experience. Old timer.

As someone who applied last year in January and February, that is not technically too late, but I really believe it is too late in practice. I got waitlisted from a few schools that I otherwise don't think I would have if I'd applied earlier. You al…

Yeah I think it makes much more sense to personalize the why x and not the PS. I used the same PS as much as I could last year, but there were a couple schools that it didn’t really fit the prompt. Not gonna lie, it’s all a pain in the ass lol. I re…

@Nabintou said: No resume (specifically) formatting issues? @"Leah M B" Not that I saw. I didn't use any particularly unusual formatting though. It probably wouldn't hurt to convert to PDF, but I didn't have any trouble. And again, you're ab…

Hmm.... this might be a case for @"Cant Get Right". Have you worked with a tutor? You can see this thread for the list of approved tutors. (It's an old thread, but mods keep the main post with the tutor list up to date.) https://classic.7sage.com/…
