I think that's a very wise decision to postpone until June. I also want to note that you absolutely need to make sure you don't sacrifice a single point off your GPA while studying for the LSAT. You can go to law school any time, you could wait unti…

@"J.Y. Ping" said: @EvetteCee Good! I'll talk more about (D). From the information in the stimulus, we can loosely infer that Demosthenes was not reading aloud from the tablet / was just reading very quietly or silently to himself. This f…

Congrats!!! Illinois is a really solid school! So happy for you.

Hi @zaimali! Welcome to the community, and to LSAT studying. If your goal is 160+ and not having to pay for school (which is absolutely a great goal to have) then you will be hard pressed to do that this year. The February test which is this coming…

@lsatplaylist said: @"Leah M B", That sounds amazing. I like the PNW. Are you from Seattle or did you move there as an adult? I grew up in Oregon but moved to Seattle in 2010 after being in Los Angeles for work and school for a while. So, as…

Yes, agreeing with the others above. Schools cannot see if you withdraw your registration before the test day. I withdrew from 2 tests myself. If you sit for the test and cancel it on test day or within the week after taking it, schools will see th…

@jyarmo It's so cliche but true that the older you get, the less you know. I'm so grateful for that! I'm a much wiser, more thoughtful person than I would have been if I went to law school 10 years ago. "The best-laid plans" and such.

This thread kinda blew up right after I started it and I realize I never gave my answer haha. For me, law has always been appealing and seemed like a fit for my strengths. I've always loved reading and language (strongly considered being an English…

Yeah, that's where I just don't agree with TLS. There are tons of people that have good careers and went to non-T14 law schools. It does depend on your goals though. Are you wanting biglaw or anything specific? And if you are set on staying in CA, a…

I don't know much at all about FAFSA. I do know that I went to an event for University of Washington and they said that you absolutely had to submit the FAFSA by January 15. I don't remember if that was because of scholarships or grant consideration…

@"Alex Divine" I didn't say that specific one was unnecessarily rude. But telling someone to take the GRE and that they will never reach their goal score is more or less telling them to give up. I wasn't commenting on anyone else's responses in ther…

Here's an example. I clicked around just a couple of threads and found: "If you’ve studied 15-20 hrs/mo for 5 months and are still below 150 then my advice is to either A) take the GRE instead, or B ) adjust your goals." Sure you could make a case…

I was in LA on vacation a couple months ago and didn't do an official visit but went to USC and UCLA and just meandered around the buildings a bit. As background, I lived in LA for a few years so I have some knowledge of the city. But I moved away …

To clarify, are you basically asking if UCI is a good school to go to? Like, what are your job prospects? If that's the question, I think UCI will serve you well. Yes, it's a new school. But it already has a very good reputation. Their employment a…

Holy sheeburgs. I only rarely visited TLS, but some of the posts were chock full of good information that's hard to find anywhere else. So sad that we're losing that resource. And, well... there's a difference between telling the truth and being a…

Agreed with @Sprinkles, it'd be best to use just your name or with an underscore, middle initial or a short number if you need to. I'd agree that the meister could come across as unprofessional.

This is a fun thread! Nice to hear more about people. I'm Leah. I'm 33, originally from Oregon, went to school in southern California, and now live in Seattle. I work in admin at a small record label. I studied music business in college, and have b…

Wooooo! This rules.

I've never been able to hear any tick from it, maybe if you held it up right next to your ear. It's very quiet though.

Hi there! I think your goal is realistic but it’s going to be a very tough time frame to do it in on top of your other commitments. I agree that it’d probably be better not to commit to a set number of house per day, just try to study as much as you…
-
Congrats, that’s a really solid score to start with. I think it is reasonable that you could get to upper 160s by June but moving from 168/169 into the 170s is a really big jump. A lot of people plateau around that level and it can be a grind to get…

This was a super tough one. I got it right on the exam, but only narrowed it down to being about 80% sure. So, my best take on it is that C is correct because essentially, the modern historians are arguing that the writings about Caligula being cru…

@tylerdschreur10 said: @"Leah M B" Maybe I should apply UW! I'm a little off-put by the reputation for rainfall tho. Is it as bad as everyone says? Yes and no. Right now is the worst time of year. From January to at least April, it's very gr…

Oh my gosh, this is so helpful. Thank you @needmylsat180! I haven't done any interviews yet and have a lot of anxiety about them. Seeing it laid out like this helps a lot. I don't know about anyone else around here, but I'm an extreme introvert and …
