Hi there - obviously a lot in your comment, I'll try to touch on everything. 1) multiple majors would be considered a "soft" which might be interesting, but will not necessarily make up for GPA. 2) Yes, a rising GPA helps. You may want to conside…

@jkatz1488 said: Agree with Linds. I'd advise you against getting too caught up in specific sections because there are greater differences within PTs than between PTs. The test writers seem to maintain a consistent level of difficulty acr…

Agreed with a lot of the above. That's part of the reason that employment stats are so important to me in searching for a school, and why I want to go to the best ranked school possible while accruing the smallest amount of debt. That's part of the …

@rebeccius said: 36 years old here, applying after 15 years in the music business (what is left of it anyway!). Do any schools accept the June LSAT for this year's admissions cycle? Quick word of advice: it's been many years since you finishe…

I went to an information session, so a little different, but most everyone was pretty casual. For something where there will be more meet and greet time and interaction, I'd guess that the comments above are right. Casual-ish is ok but dress nicely.…

More or less, yes. I'm 33 and have been out of school for almost 12 years. Not quite as far along as yourself, but enough distance between me and undergrad to feel like a fish out of water when I think about going back to school. I know there's at l…

I have been out of school for almost 12 years now and the resume was a bit of a challenge for me too. I already had a regular resume I use for job applications and I'm adamant on keeping it to 1 page as much as I can so I omit most of my early caree…

I don’t know about the others, but contracts would for sure be my #1. I’ve done a fair amount of contract work in my job and enjoy it.

I think that it's really common to come out of the test feeling like you underperformed. In my view, there's very little downside to just accepting your score. Schools will 99% of the time only consider your highest score, so it doesn't matter much …

Hm, interesting situation. I feel like ideally you could have the academic one, and one of those supervisors. I might submit that attorney/school person only to the school where they are employed. Will they take 3 letters? I do think though that mos…

Agreed with above, #4 won't be that helpful. While schools do want to see volunteer experience, the LORs are really just for people who can speak to your abilities as a student and/or in a professional work setting. The volunteering can just be adde…

Definitely include all of that. I'm 33 and only omitted early-career/during school part time jobs so that I could keep it to 2 pages. But I included all those sorts of things.

I'm on team take-a-cold-diagnostic. I did, before I knew that it was recommended haha. I was just toying with the idea of law school and found the free test on LSAC's site and decided to take it, just to see how I'd do without any background knowled…

@ilokmaca That is written mostly for disclosed tests. This is also on the LSAT site: "Nondisclosed Administrations If you take a nondisclosed test, you will have online access only to your LSAT score, score band, percentile rank, and writing sampl…

@hiyer1 Oh I forgot the part about re-applying. From what I've seen, re-applying doesn't necessarily hurt you in the following cycle. You can re-use LORs but you will probably want to write new essays. I will mention 1 thing specific to Yale thoug…

I'm so happy to see everyone chiming in here. I'm right on board with everyone else. It's a fantastic curriculum. I started self-studying with the Powerscore bibles and while I made some progress, I was also left even more confused in other ways. 7…

Hi there! Normally I would say not to rush this, but if you are only considering applying for Yale right now, then it might be worth sending them an app this year. Yale only gives financial aid based on need and does not award any merit aid. That i…

Haha, yes repeating @"Habeas Porpoise" - that is indeed what JY teaches. So, good work on figuring it out! Generally, there are 2 ways that MSS are structured. It's often like what you describe, the stimulus contains premises and the conclusion is …

Aw, yay @HarvardHopeful!! I’m so happy to hear that. That was a good move with the meditation too. I’m so glad that you found our advice helpful. Fingers crossed for you!!

@"J.Y. Ping" said: Yeah, all that makes a lot of sense. Definitely will be adding text over time. Regarding searching titles, the instant filter, above and to the right, filters / searches titles of classes and lessons. This was mean…

Echoing the others above. If you mean graduating in May and after that, taking a year to study for the LSAT - yes, absolutely that is a fantastic plan. Although I don't know what your plans would be for work, but I would recommend at the very least …

Barring any unforeseen circumstances (bubbling errors, etc) I'd bet that your guess on the score range is accurate! Obviously your PT average is super high, so you know the material and know what it feels like to do well. None of the tests are very …
-
The best advice on when to take the LSAT is: when you are ready. Basically, you should be consistently scoring on PTs at your goal score or higher. What were your PTs like before these LSATs? Did you just drop down a ton on test day or is that prett…

This is awesome! A couple things to note... I tried searching for "bi-conditional" and it only brought up 1 lesson. Looking at it, I think that the search doesn't include the lesson titles. It didn't bring up "Advanced: Bi-conditionals" under Advan…

(FYI, this was section 3, not 2 ) This one is tough, so usually my first step in these is eliminating answer choices: A: we're not talking about damage, just the number of tornadoes, so it's irrelevant B: This seemed like a "trap" answer to me. …

Just so I'm clear, it sounds like you've been through the whole CC at least once, right? Have you watched @"Cant Get Right"'s post-CC webinar? It's so great - this will give you a lot of ideas on how/what to study: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/…

Shouldn’t be a problem at all. The only school I know that averages is Yale, although there could be others. But by and large, law schools only consider your highest score. I saw recent posts of students saying they had 5-6 takes and nothing unusual…

Woooooo! Yes!!! That’s so awesome, congratulations!!
