@BumbleJD1624 I know it varies among schools, but I know that at some schools, if they do not accept you ED, they may defer giving you a decision and reevaluate your application along with the rest of the non-ED apps. However I am pretty sure if the…

Definitely retake!! Sounds like the September test just wasn't your test, given your normal PT average. Odds that that will happen again in December seem low to me, especially if you keep up the prep over the next 7 weeks or whatever it is. Don't se…

Love your attitude! So easy to get caught up in momentary failure and forget that it is indeed, only momentary. Keep on keeping on.

I would say closely evaluate the areas on which you did poorly on the September test using the score report. Unless your take that day was out of the ordinary, they likely will highlight the areas in which you should focus your attention. If you've …

Yeah from all I've read, you probably do stand a better shot at getting into Columbia ED with your current stats...also read that they don't dole out the $$ with ED as much though.. Is anything preventing you from retaking in December or are you alr…

@"alexandra.marlene" Definitely don't feel bad about waiting a year! Just wanted to make sure you knew though, that any college level courses you take after obtaining a bachelor's degree will not count towards your law school GPA.

Took the test abroad in Europe and my results just came in via email! Did pretty much exactly how I expected, maybe slightly better. Back to book for meeeeeeee
-
I am not sure I can ever look at these too much. Not sure if that is good or bad! But in any case, thank you!!

@"Cant Get Right" said: I heard that this year they were sending out scores from highest to lowest. So they'll send out all the 176+ scores in the first batch, then in the second batch, all the 170-175s, etc on down. AHH so mean haha that ki…

Have any international test takers gotten the score? I'm gray but no score, no email, nothing on the LSAC account except the gray waaaaa
-
Yeah I think this would be completely fine, but like the poster above mentioned, I think it could be wise to just leave Trump out of it altogether. By merely mentioning the political scene and rhetoric during 2016, the committees will definitely kno…

I'd recommend going through the 7sage curriculum. Really simplified LG for me after poking around some other test prep explanations that I felt were over-complicated.
-
First off, congrats on your improvement so far! That's a big jump! I would say I generally agree with everyone in that making a decision primarily because you feel pressure to keep up with your peers or out of fear of being left behind is definitel…

@morzoey said: @LindsMitch How many times have you taken the test?? Only once! December will be my second take.
-
If you have already come to terms with taking it in February, then I would say you should stop stressing about the December exam entirely. Create a new study schedule with the Feb. date and work towards that, giving yourself enough time over this mo…

@imadl95 Within the course, there are a number of sample PS that you can read, I don't remember one specifically about depression/mental health but that of course doesn't mean you shouldn't write about it. I really would recommend the course to you,…
-
I think the admissions course will probably help, as @FerdaFresh suggested. A major takeaway I had after completing the admissions course was that your PS should really try to convey "this is who I am" rather than "look at this thing I did." In thei…

This is honestly so bizarre...

So did I! Nothing like a good grammar refresher to bring me back to 9th grade English..

I think you are required to include it..I also have taken a few courses at a college after obtaining my undergrad degree. I emailed the LSAC about it and they told me to add it to my attended schools list and have the school send my transcripts. I d…
-
@cal270 Thanks for your response. I am still a little unsure though, because I am much more interested in them knowing about my graduate level work, but at the time that I will apply, it will not be published (if it is to be published at all). Would…
-
What areas are you most weak in? I would say drill those. If you don't have LG down with little to no errors then definitely work on that, should be "easy" points. Are there patterns in the types of LR questions you are missing? I also took in Septe…
-
@xtinextine Yes I figured that...luckily this is really the only scholarship program I'm interested in that has a deadline like this...I guess if my September score isn't too terrible I can apply by the deadline and then ask for them to evaluate my …
-
@Freddy_D I've been interested in the AnBryce scholarship from NYU as well..problem is the January 1st deadline. I'll still be waiting on my December LSAT score, so I assume it's not possible to apply? I'll have a September LSAT score on file, but i…
-
@"Cant Get Right" Ohhhh I see what you mean, of course that makes perfect sense, I knew they weren't averaging but I didn't think about the whole 3.5 or 4.2 would have the same effect on a 3.4 median. I guess I'm pulling for a stellar LSAT anyway t…
-
@"Cant Get Right" WOW! That's incredible, congratulations!! With scholarship money too! Sometimes it is crazy how life can unfold in a way that we never could have expected/hoped for even only a few short years ago. Question: I have a 3.76 GPA...I …
-
@"Cant Get Right" @"Alex Divine" Wow both great! 2.9 and $90K at Northwestern is incredible!! I want moreeeeee...I thought for sure this community would have tons of stories.

I think they are giving you the option of basically combining a personal statement with a diversity statement. So if you want to just stick with the required part 1 you totally can, but it is also allowed to discuss the topics in part 2.
-
To me it sounds like you have pretty average softs as well...I don't think they would be detrimental or anything but I also don't think they are going to set you apart as an applicant. With a good LSAT score and GPA, I think you'll be totally fine t…
