  • I echo others' thoughts about focusing more attention on LG, especially given that you already are aware of 7sage and can make use of the LG videos! If you said you are currently missing 7-8 in LG, even if you didn't improve on either LR or RC, you…
  • That's great to hear! I had a similar diagnostic score and am still working to break the 170s. Highest has been 169 but then I bounced back down to 165 Right now I'm just struggling to maintain a consistent study schedule and to consistently miss …
  • Didn’t apply this cycle but my brother went to law school there and loved it. Great community, great opportunities. He lived in the lawyers club his first year and had a positive experience there. I visited him twice while he was in school and was S…
  • @"nessa.k13.0" said: Lolllll GGU sends SO many emails That is the realest thing I've read today haha. Emails and physical mail, it is overwhelming.
  • And to add to the questions, when did you submit your app? I've been wondering if this cycle has proven to be as abnormal for applicants who submitted "early" in October or if the applicants from Dec/Jan/Feb are the ones mainly feeling what appear…
  • @"Seeking Perfection" said: U Chicago likely would have got a similar little boost for location and its historic importance in law and economics, but the dead crows which were laying on the ground next to the law school being squawked at by …
  • Hmm that's tough. Are you absolutely set on the fall 2018 cycle ? Waiting until June to submit a completed application does sound a little risky, so I can see the appeal of testing this Saturday so you can go ahead and submit an app. If you do this,…

  • I don’t really think it is harder. I scored a 159. While I haven’t taken a significant number of PTs since then and have actually stopped taking them entirely while I’m drilling/redoing CC, all the ones I have taken have been in the 162-166 range wi…
  • I also think the true diagnostic is helpful. I think it helps inform the CC a bit better... JR talks about strategy throughout the CC and I think it will click better in your mind having already taken a real and timed PT. Also cool to have a true i…
  • I have the 6s and while this particular issue doesn't happen, when I open an actual discussion thread it often will only load momentarily and then when I begin scrolling to read comments the comments disappear. This also may just be my phone.
  • Cannot recommend 7sage highly enough. I did some self-studying prior to joining 7sage, mostly with PowerScore material (which isn't bad either, but not nearly as comprehensive). Not only are the explanations so thorough (for every single question!!)…
  • This policy is so annoying...both because it is outdated and also because it seems to be interpreted differently depending on the testing center/proctors. When I tested in September, I had to leave my phone at the hotel I was staying at and walk 20…
  • Thanks all for your feedback. Interesting! So it sounds like even if there is some disagreement over whether the overall section is more difficult, I may as well shift to drilling with the newer tests.. nothing to lose !
  • I say hold off...if you are already scoring in the 160s missing half of the LG questions, you could relatively easily move up into the high 160s, maybe even 170s by just improving in that section along (don't know what your exact breakdown is). You…
  • Seems like just added stress on you to try and take it this weekend if you are already not planning to apply until next cycle anyway. I don't see the point. The June and July tests seem like more attractive options.
  • Hm interesting. I am also postponing...though I just assumed they would resend waivers again next year if you remain an active applicant. I hadn't thought about sending thank you emails.
  • I wouldn't sweat it. To be honest, I doubt either action will really bear any weight on how your application is reviewed. If it relieves some anxiety to respond again then do it, if responding will cause you more anxiety, then don't. If both action…
  • It often seems like the people (friends, family) who are advising "just take it" have no real concept of A) The difficulty of the test/amount of studying required and How life-changing even an increase of a couple of points can be. As hard as it m…
  • Are you pretty set on staying in CA?
  • @"lady macbeth" said: This is when all the formals are, everyone's taking their coats off, running around, drinking and you're sitting at your desk trying to figure out who if Joey gets picked 3rd and who gets picked 2nd if Mary gets picked 6…
  • @"lady macbeth" @beezmoof I can vouch for boybrow. I bought the little duo brow and highlighter stick kit and I honestly love both. I am not into this super clean perfect overly defined eyebrow look going on right now ...and I feel like boy brow is …
  • While I don't think it's necessary, I don't think it would at all hurt your application to include a short and sweet explanation of the circumstances. Obviously your GPA is great and you fulfilled the requirements of your degree, so it's not like yo…

  • @"lady macbeth" @beezmoof On the skincare topic, have y'all heard of this brand "The Ordinary" ? I've just recently discovered them and am going to soon place an order when I run out of my current skincare stuff. It is SO reasonably priced and has p…
  • I've only been to Texas and Michigan. Texas I just happened to be in Austin for fun and so I did a self-guided tour of the campus. The law school is quite self-contained, obviously UT's campus/student body is massive. I wasn't particularly impressed…
  • Bummer not being able to see where you went wrong, I took the LSAT abroad this past September, which means my score breakdown is also not available to me. Quite frustrating ! Have you been tracking your PTs using 7sage's analytics feature? This may…
  • Is the first school your first choice? I would say yes, leverage away. I mean, it's not like they are going to say "Who does this guy think he is, we are rescinding his offer altogether." Worst case scenario in my view is that you end up in the same…
  • @Hamaseh_S Yes sometimes I think oh I should have tried to be more involved on campus, but in hindsight I was pretty busy with classes/work/internships. So I feel anything I actually tried to participate in would have been more perfunctory in nature…
  • @"J.CHRIS.ALST" said: Ok, so I have been legitimately considering doing some writing for money. Mind if I ask how you got started with that? Yes! Definitely can be lucrative if you can get lucky (which is code for apply for a million writing…
  • @andrewjsetaro Have you noticed a pattern in the types of questions you are missing in LR? Like Necessary Assumption, Flaw, etc.? Not sure how many PT's or LR sections you've taken so far, but isolating problem areas can be an eye-opener. Also have…
