Wooooo! Congrats!!! I don't know about WL interviews but I have heard for regular admission, the interview puts you at about 80% chance of getting in or so. I'd imagine it would be at least that for a WL interview. It's definitely a good sign, but j…

At least 1 or 2 schools that WL'd me specifically mentioned in their correspondence to send LORs through LSAC. Which makes sense. But you could always place a quick phone call to admissions to confirm.

No, they won’t likely give you any sort of leniency on your score because of it. However, it is a good soft factor that they will consider, that you are racking up some very good work experience. I know, it’s really difficult and frustrating trying…

Um... that's crazy. That's possibly the worst advice ever haha. The average age of incoming 1Ls is 25-26. Many, many people take time off in between. Many schools and employers prefer that so you have some prior work experience. And paying a ton of …

Yeah, agree with the others. The early games are kinda funky but I think they have been really helpful to me. I just started them recently as I never foolproofed them early on. Some of them have been kicking my butt! And I normally average around -1…

It seems to me that yes, on average the last 4 or 5 questions are generally difficult. Or sometimes just longer. The first 5-10 or so I think are usually on the easier side. But there are difficult questions spread out through the whole thing. Not a…

I saw a few folks on LSN got in Cornell off the WL in like February which seems super weird. A couple people backed that up on LSL. I guess it was folks in NYC area that had in-person WL interviews and they let them in on the spot. So they must have…

You could also throw a hail mary and call LSAC and see if there's any way they will have mercy on your soul! Haha. But, they are not the most easygoing. I think it's very unlikely. But if you are desperate, try calling and see if there's any back ch…

Unfortunately, LSAC did away with late registrations. They made only 1 registration date (which previously was the late reg date, so we have longer to register now) but I think it's firm. There is a July test though, and the deadline for that is Jun…

It's not really so much a matter of closing the gap between score and BR score. Typically, both of those consistently go up as you study. Like soon, your BR will be 170 and your actual test is 160. And then BR is 175 and PT is 164. Etc Etc. They don…

Update for anyone on Michigan's waitlist - they aren't planning on admitting anyone from it. But noted that they think it will be a busy waitlist season so spots may open up later as others shuffle around. https://www.law.umich.edu/prospectivestud…

YES! This is awesome. And finally, something at a time that I can do after work on the west coast! Lol. All those 3pm or 4pm pacific times kill me. Thank you, JY!

I work full time and am trying to get back into a routine... it's tough when you've been off the wagon for a while! (I took the December LSAT and have now decided to re-apply, so retaking the LSAT in the meantime.) A good study week for me looks li…

Hi there! I think it depends on where you are at and where you are trying to end up. Do you have a diagnostic score and a goal score? If you're not too far apart, then yes you might be able to make it. But if you're 10 points away from your goal, th…

If you want to exhaust all of your options and you can afford it, I say go for Ultimate+. I began with just the Starter since I had already purchased most of the prep tests on Amazon. But after now having Ultimate+, I can see what an invaluable reso…

Awesome! I just got my first ever notifications this morning, thank you!!

I spent 3 years at a university that doesn't award A+s at all, so we all have our thing. The law school report that LSAC sends out though also shows mean GPAs for your school and your percentile rank, so schools will be able to see not just your GP…

The answers above were fantastic. I would also add that if someone said that a deficit increased, that means that there is less of something. Say that a company's budget remains the same year to year, but this year their deficit increased. That mean…

I just saw this additional note on that transcript page: "If you attended an institution within the United States, its territories/associated states, or Canada and are unable to obtain transcripts from that institution due to a financial obligation…
-
@Reissies73 Gotcha. I was the same way with LG and for me, learning to skip the rule substitution questions is what got me into good territory with them. I think it's also important if you get to the last game and know you are short on time, not to …
-
Ah ha, found the actual thing @"Logic Gainz" and @LCMama2017 When you go to enter answers into analytics, there is a check box at the top that says "Do not save results". It'll score it as if you just didn't complete the other sections so like the …

As always, 7sage is the the best. Thank you, @studentservice!
-
@gettysburg Totally get it, that is my only regret - I paid ultimately $560 to take the test once (paid a $100 change fee for one and also changed test center location once for $100 ugh). Hahah... it's a money suck, that is for sure. I support the i…

Generally, I think the best advice is to take the LSAT when you’re ready. I did a similar thing last year, wanted to be ready in June (started in late Feb/early March lol) but realized as June crept up that I was nowhere near scoring what I wanted. …
-
Ok, I see what you guys are saying now. I personally sometimes still used analytics for individual sections but to avoid having a test with just 1 section, there's an option to check that says something like "score without saving" so you can look at…
-
Agreed with above and @"Cant Get Right" laid out the best way to study. If you don't truly correct your errors between tests, then you just fall into the same patterns and aren't really progressing. The real growth comes in really wrestling with que…

@LSATcantwin said: Last but not least - Irvine Waitlist bringing my total waitlist up to 8 UGH ridiculous. I think that they just accepted too many people early in the cycle. I really think you would have had a shot there earlier. (Also, ho…

Unfortunately, it is required to submit all transcripts from any school you attended, so you will need to find a way to clear the financial obligation. From LSAC: Law schools require transcripts from the following institutions you have attended: …

I really think just early apps will make a huge difference. I'd also consider applying ED somewhere that has a full tuition or other generous scholarship. Northwestern and WUSTL ED are both solid options. UCLA has these 2 scholarships (Distinguished…
