5 points is really good!! I think I only improved like 3 or 4 at the end of the cc and wanted to rage throw my computer out a window. It also took a while for my scores to be consistent, I yoyo'd up and down a lot right after the cc. But after keepi…

Yeah, my first thought is burn out. Did you say your first post-cc PT was a week ago and you have done 3 more since then? That is way too many full PTs in my opinion. General consensus around here is that 1 PT per week is enough, 2 should be max. PT…

@ZizouFrieda said: @"Leah M B" UCLA is one of my five final options, but I couldn’t attend the ASW, and instead had to visit during their spring break. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your impressions? I met with two students and th…

Very on topic for me as I just got back from St Louis and LA visiting ASWs for WUSTL and UCLA. Are you applying to WUSTL? I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the school. But yes, Monday and Tuesday this week I was on the beach in LA, toe…

Thanks for starting a place to chat about this. I’m kind of one foot in both camps of people. Older and non-traditional, but single and no kids. I’m grateful that I can easily pack up and move to whatever school is the best fit for me. But I have so…

@sabah_khadri said: Has anyone heard from Northwestern yet? Not me. NU and UCI are my 2 I’m waiting on now. But I know they sent out a ton of WL and dings last week.

Ah ha, I was just going to ask if you knew what your total cost would be for both. Honestly, that is a great price for either school. If I were you, I’d go UCI. Keep negotiating though and see if you can get more cash! Do you have acceptances at any…

Obviously we’ll all have to just wait and see. Spivey has a lot of expertise in this area and has usually been pretty spot on, but also said that this has been the hardest cycle to predict. For us as applicants, all we can do is put the best app pa…

@westcoastbestcoast I don't think unlimited retakes would increase applicants. I do think it was a contributor to the increase in higher scores. But there probably aren't additional people applying to law school because of that. GRE seems possible, …

@"Seeking Perfection" FWIW, he didn't say that 160+ scores would go down to the level that they were before this 20%+ bump. He said it would likely be down compared to this year. So, could still be up like 15-18% relative to the cycle before this on…

Yeah agreed with @mcglz_64. I like #1, I might phrase it more as “I’m telling you this because if accepted, I will attend your school regardless of scholarship”. For #2 though... I feel like it’s not the best to tell them you’re waitlisted everywhe…

There's less of an argument now for postponing than there used to be previously. However, I would still say that if you are nowhere near your target (say, scoring consistently on PTs in the 140s-150s) then there's no good reason to take it either. …

Oh I also at some point came to the realization that I did not have the physical and mental capacity to work a full day, study, and cook. I gave up and took the stress off myself in what little ways I could, which ended up being a lot of microwave m…

It's definitely not easy to do, and everyone's work situation is different. My work is somewhat mentally taxing but not overly so. But it's enough that I can only do about 2 hours of studying in the evening, max. And despite the fact that I'm a tota…

I live in Seattle and was lucky to find a studio for $1200, so Ann Arbor does sound pretty cheap to me lol. It’s all perspective. Especially since many law schools are in major cities, I base the “cheap COL” relative to what it would be at other law…

I think that’s partially just the nature of the LSAT. They strive to make every test equivalent in difficulty but that doesn’t mean that every section is the same in difficulty. Some tests will have harder RC but they balance that out with easier LG…

Just going to back up what others have said - you absolutely won't lose any ability if you step away. I got burned out at one point and had started doing worse on LR. I thought I was losing my mind. I stepped away for 3-4 days, came back and nailed …
