@LSATcantwin Also I'm thinking of EDing to NU this year... maybe we'll end up at the same place!

Obviously U of Michigan is the best option. Ideally you could work on your LSAT until scoring high enough to make it less of a stretch. WUSTL would likely also be a good choice and is a great school. What about Minnesota?

AHHHHHHH omg!! I’m SO HAPPY FOR YOU! And so dang proud of you!!! For not giving up, believing that you could achieve it, and LOOK AT YOU NOW! T14, baby!! Congratulations!!! https://media3.giphy.com/media/vmtxnxveVUodG/giphy.gif

During your foolproofing, do you watch the video explanation? The best way to FP is to do the game once on your own, then watch the video, then repeat until you get it under time. After watching the video, do you feel like you grasp it better or are…

I asked over email for all of mine. My recommenders all live out of state from me. We only communicated via email. Is it ideal? No. But it is what it is, logistically. If you are currently in school asking for a professor to write one, I would try v…

As the others said, it is your LSAC calculated cumulative GPA that law schools will look at. From what I gather, they really are not interested in what your degree GPA is. In that case, it sounds like good news! Your LSAC cumulative GPA is higher th…

Hmm... I think if I were you, I'd prep like my life depended on it with the goal of writing in October. If you're able to financially, I'd register for both. If the October one comes close and you aren't ready, withdraw. November could be your back …

Agreed with the others that it helps to slow down. If you're selecting an answer choice as soon as you think one is right and not reading the others, then you should go back to reading every answer choice. I've found myself almost being tricked befo…

They definitely can see who is registered for tests, but I'm not sure of the details on how they get this info, if it's automatically sent to them or when. I've gotten many "good luck on the LSAT!" emails from law schools. Also if you apply and are …

Oh, forgot the most important thing I was going to say. Don't get down on yourself for eating what you do. There's nothing to be ashamed of or explained away. We're all different and have different tastes. I know the guilt about it... I wish I was o…

First of all I want to say, I hope you don't feel like everyone eats healthy all the time while studying for the LSAT. I mean... it's ideal, absolutely. But I'm right there with you. I'm not a healthy eater, and I try but it's difficult. The LSAT is…

Typically, LORs are fine to use a 2nd time (best to contact your writers just to let them know, in case they want to change anything or update the letter). You are better off re-writing your PS though, even if you use the same one. I've seen stories…
-
Yes, it's work experience. You're not the one being taught, you're working for the teacher.
-
My biggest hesitation with saying you should stop the medication is that while you need to get through the LSAT, obviously this is all leading to law school... which will mean more exams, and a lot of mental concentration. So I'm thinking more long …

@Nuraldeenb said: Is there somewhere to buy a digital copy of them in that case? Besides 7Sage.. I don’t want to have to buy a package just to get the tests. Unfortunately, no. LSAC put a ban on PDFs of the tests a few years ago. 7sage is al…

Most often: nothing. Sometimes some background noise is needed though, and I've really enjoyed playing some Sigur Ros. Explosions in the Sky occasionally, and some film soundtracks. Basically, I need instrumental only. Anything with lyrics is too di…

Your BR score is a theoretical maximum but honestly, not everyone will be able to close that gap 100%, or it may take a long time to get there. There is a big difference between being able to get to 175 untimed and doing it within time constraints. …
-
To be very honest, those stats would keep you out of T14 and be a crapshoot for T20. I think in this case you would be better off waiting until you had a better LSAT score on the books. The GPA will make you a splitter, so you really need to make up…
-
Hi there - as far as the LSAT goes, I really don't think you need to re-take if you're set on going to those schools. You're already a few points above median, and a score in the low 170s could tell those schools that they are back ups for you, whic…

It's worth trying! I personally take 3mg of melatonin every night - I see a naturopath who says that's a safe level to take long term without harming how much your body produces naturally. I also take a magnesium supplement before bed called "Natura…

I have no experience with anxiety meds specifically, so just spit balling here. Do you know if the brain fog and drowsiness is a product of the lack of sleep or is it from the medication directly? Like, if you try a bunch of things to help you get m…

Really agreed with everyone above here. Although I don't think you mentioned (sorry if you did), those 8 or so that you miss in a section: do they usually come from one category? Either the "easy" ones that you go through really fast, or they're har…

Here's a blog post from Spivey about this: https://blog.spiveyconsulting.com/how-many-test-takes-is-too-many-for-law-school/ Moral of the story is, if you're trying to get into a school that demands a higher score, keep going. But if you're already…

Honestly, I think signing up for 7sage and taking in June 2019 sounds like a great plan. Especially since the LG videos have been so helpful, I think you are going to flourish with the course. I started out with the PS bibles. The only one I got al…

@LSATcantwin in case you're interested!

Awesome, congrats @NotMyName!!!!

Well, I'm coming at this from a perspective of someone who worked full time while studying. I was able to study roughly 2-3 hours per weekday and 4-5 hours per weekend day. That's the max I could do without burning out. So, I had to be extremely eff…
