I'd totally be down for a swap, but am not super far along on my PS at this point. I'm 33, graduated in 2006. PM me if you want to even just swap some PS ideas back and forth! This is something I've been mulling over for a while too.

I realized a while ago while trying to read books while on the elliptical that for some reason my brain can't process visual info while exercising. Audio is fine, but reading just does not allow anything to sink in! I'd get to the end of a page and …

Checking in, but just as someone who like 75% of the time gets these wrong. Why can't my brain do them??? https://media.giphy.com/media/gz80mT4J5B3c4/giphy.gif

Yeah I was going to say, why not take in December and if it gives you the boost you want, apply then? If it doesn't, then re-take one more time in June or Sept of next year and apply early that cycle. I think if you can bump your score up just a few…

... gonna amend my statement and also say, of course make sure you pass, not fail! hahah Pretty sure a fail would reflect badly.

Highly recommend taking a year or two off! It'll give you a chance to breathe and evaluate, make sure you know what you want for your next steps, and give you extra time to prepare for the LSAT too.

I'm not applying to HYS, but I doubt that 1 or 2 would make a difference. I took a course P/F freshman year because I knew I was transferring universities and that I had already taken any classes that would be able to transfer. So I took a random el…

I'm interested in keeping an eye on this and any info/advice folks have. I've been somewhat debating applying for accommodation, though I think I probably won't. I have a joint condition that makes me get really stiff and sore sitting in 1 place for…

Agreed with everything @"vanessa fisher" said. Also, congrats on the amazing score!! I personally think the debt that you have to take on for HYS isn't worth it unless you are definitely going to do biglaw and will see a massive paycheck. But the f…

The only way that it would make a difference is if you think that you might not want to apply at all if your LSAT ends up being lower than you'd hoped. Otherwise, it doesn't make any difference. They will receive your app, probably review portions o…

Yeah pretty sure there aren't any courts that operate on Saturday so you should be safe. But if you have any questions, there's usually a line you could call and talk to a jury coordinator (or something similar) and you could let them know that you …

I have one of these accordion style folders with dividers: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/477088/Office-Depot-Brand-Poly-Extra-Wide/ Or you could get a 3 ring binder with dividers/sheet protectors to organize things. I think I'd like a bind…

I'm sure there are exceptions to every rule... I think most City Attorneys and state Attorneys General I've seen have been T14 or close. But take Kamala Harris - UC Hastings. I think it's always possible, just maybe a harder road if you're coming fr…

Pretty sure I saw that they do accept faxes but they highly recommend against it, since quality can be low and it may be difficult to read and/or take longer for processing. I think mail might be better.

Plugged your numbers into MyLSN and it looks like you have a shot at USC, but might be tough. Here's a link: http://mylsn.info/dwf3qj/ They put your shot at USC at 55%, but looks like everyone who got in received scholarship, so that's nice. Looks …

I use Chrome on a Mac too and sometimes have issues with the videos loading, but not with printing. What specifically is happening when you try to print?
-
Hi, @tocute1245 ! For the core curriculum (referred to often around here as just "cc"), you should just start at the top of the syllabus page and work your way down through all of the videos/lessons. You won't need any materials except for what the…
-
Thanks for bumping, @"Dillon A. Wright" I think it might depend on the situation for the schools you are applying to. If you think you are going to be on the edge of being accepted or not, I think I'd wait until near or after the December take to s…

The only thing I would add is that a lot of folks do score at least a few points lower on the actual LSAT vs. practice scores. So if you want that upper 160s, you'll want to aim for PTing in the lower to mid 170s.

@jkatz1488 said: I think there is a tendency to score higher on the older tests initially. Not because they are objectively harder, but rather because we source our drilling material from that era. The test writers employ different tactics of …
-
I feel like generally if you are dead set on T-14, you should either take the December LSAT or just delay until you have more time to study and can really nail the LSAT. There's a chance you could get in a couple of the lower ones, but if you raise …

Congrats!! So happy that you received a solid score. Now go crush in December!

Not sure if I could find it right now, but there was another recent thread with folks working full time discussing their study schedules (myself included!) and it sounded like the majority of us study around 2 hours per work day give or take, and mo…

I believe for most (if not all) schools, if you apply ED and they decide not to accept you for ED specifically, then they usually roll you into the regular decision pool and process it like any other application (and the decision becomes non-binding…
-
You could try for ED to Northwestern. It's possible that would give you a leg up (and a massive scholarship, which never hurts!). I think if I were you, I might ED at NU and still also register for December. If you're not accepted ED, then you could…
-
That's a tough call. It looks like you'd have better odds at USC than UCLA, if that makes a difference. That LSAT is median at UCLA and above 75th at USC. It could only benefit you to get a higher score though to make up for the GPA being on the low…

Just to clarify, you are saying you want to start law school next fall? Generally, the February LSAT may be ok for some schools but it will be too late for many, especially if you need scholarship money. As a rule of thumb, December is the last test…
