  • I'm 25 and live in Oklahoma with my parents wooooo! Actually would not have it any other way because they are awesome and very funny people. My mom has recently gotten into baking "healthy" snacks, like stuff where you don't use eggs and sugar and f…
  • Haha yes I have been quite lucky to find such cool opportunities. Really glad I gave myself permission to take the time off...my first year out of undergrad I felt a bit stressed that I wasn't immediately beginning law school but the more that time …
  • Sounds like you definitely need a break. I say as long as your break doesn't turn into a month long study hiatus, you deserve at least a couple days off. Let your brain and body rest. Be well!
  • TBH, I wouldn't pay much attention to them. I get a ton of them too, I'm sure we all do if we are signed up through the LSAC website, especially if you have an LSAT score on file. I took the September '17 LSAT and knew immediately I would be retesti…
  • Based on your PT performance, it does seem unlikely that you would score lower than a 173 on the retake (though of course, things happen), so it seems a retake would only be of benefit to you. 173 vs. 179 is a pretty big jump. Seems worthwhile to me…
  • So awesome, Congratulations!!!
  • Upgrade I say! I upgraded from premium to Ultimate a couple of weeks ago and do not regret it at all, even though it was a bummer to spend the extra $$, completely worth it in the long run if you are able to.
  • I also would suggest giving your professors as much time as possible...my advisor was constantly telling me how frustrating it was when she got requests for recommendations and only had a week or two to complete them...she said she always did it bec…
  • I guess it depends on when you are wanting to take the test. If you are going for December or even February, maybe going through it all the way again and taking the time to make sure you understand everything thoroughly may not be the best use of yo…
  • I am quite certain LSAC will only take into account your undergrad GPA, so your LSAC GPA will likely be around 3.18 (though sometimes it fluctuates slightly). Any courses you take post-first undergraduate degree do not count towards LSAC GPA.
  • Have you tried understanding LG through 7sage? If not, would definitely recommend. With JY's videos, you don't have to wait for a tutoring session to understand why you can't figure out a game and in my opinion he approaches the games in the most st…
  • I signed up for February just in case too. Seemed like a no-lose situation to me.
  • Take the year!! I don´t think the year would be wasted at all if it meant you will be more successful later on in law school after a break. A year may sound like a long time but it´s really nothing in the grand scheme of life. And you have the oppor…
  • Hahaha this thread is gold.
  • @"Dillon A. Wright" said: Saw you upgraded, @LindsMitch, so I added on an extra +10 months since you'd be missing out on that. You are the bomb. Seriously 7sage is the best.
  • Yeah I would be surprised if this has any real impact on admissions stats, at least over the next few years...second what a lot of others said in that I feel like the number of people who would end up applying with only a GRE score are probably peop…
  • @AllezAllez21 @"Alex Divine" Yeah I think you guys are probably right. Upgrade it is! I'm not too worried about likely not being able to do ALL the PTs. And I would be open to compiling my own LRs by type but buying the PTs off Amazon isn't really …
  • @ryan___m There could very well be some sort of correlation, not denying that possibility at all. I just think there are so many factors when it comes to how people prep for the LSAT that it would make it hard to clearly see this relationship. For …
  • @"Paul Caint" said: @LindsMitch I'm reigning in my excitement, but ngl I'm still excited - I'm still gonna retake the LSAT to try to be more competitive in their admissions I'm in the same boat!!
  • For those who are able to achieve a high LSAT score more quickly than others with less effort, I think that is great. I don't think that necessarily means they will be able to get through law school with less effort than someone who had to spend 3X …
  • @Kewlaidd said: @LindsMitch said: @Kewlaidd said: Gosh I asked this on TLS and they're making it sound like if I don't make it above a 170 I'm going to be cleaning toilets. So should I just apply now …
  • I would say for sure you have a chance! I know of someone who also had a low GPA (not even sure if it was in the 2.0 range) but he got a 174 on the LSAT. He ended up going to a very well-respected law school in his area, which was great for him as …
  • @Kewlaidd said: Gosh I asked this on TLS and they're making it sound like if I don't make it above a 170 I'm going to be cleaning toilets. So should I just apply now or retake December sorry I keep asking I just don't know what to do T…
  • @"Paul Caint" said: @stepharizona said: Yeah beware of number inflation (thats the term @deansr) aka sending out fee waivers to people they would not admit to increase the size of application pool and on the other end of the spectr…
  • @"Alex Divine" said: @LindsMitch said: @"Alex Divine" are you drilling LR from the older tests in a similar way that you do LG? Yup! That's exactly what I'm doing. The only difference is that I do most of my LR work untimed…
  • @"Alex Divine" are you drilling LR from the older tests in a similar way that you do LG?
  • @LauraC829 Just to clarify, I wasn't saying there is absolutely no way you'll be ready. If you were just beginning your studies now I would say it would be unlikely you would be as ready as you could be by December. But you are already quite famili…
  • The schedule sets up for you based on your end date will include whatever PTs come with your course level. So if you follow the schedule then yes you'll be done with everything a week before the test. However, of course this doesn't necessarily mean…
  • I understand that it can seem like there is absolutely no way that you could take the test again..but maybe just consider delaying a year? This of course could throw a huge kink in your plans, but I also think you may later regret not fully committi…
