Yeah it's normal to go back and take tests. Take as many as you can. But, don't just keep taking test after test without learning from them, and thoroughly reviewing your errors.
There are some differences between old tests and new tests, like the …

Okay, so I haven't touched the LSAT since the September test. I have not reviewed the test itself, although I know how each section broke out (LR: -6, -6, RC -6, LG -3). I was / am relatively happy with my 163 although it o…

I'm assuming I'll be on a couple of wait lists and hoping this helps get me off them. This may be all in vain; however, hope springs eternal. TBH, it will also take my mind off status checkers as well.

No recommendations but I’m curious how the March score affects your chances. I’m nervous (unjustifiably) about my January score being too late. And now, I was thinking if January didn’t get me where I wanted to be, if March was a possibility. It see…

7Sage has been wonderful. I want to stay connected to the community--read and post on discussion form, etc. Also, I'd love to keep watching LG videos, and look at free admissions course stuff. …
I have all the same numbers. I'm planning on sending out apps in late January, clicking that box on the app that says, "LSAT scores still pending..." then contacting the schools with my January score on Feb 15 when scores are released. Does this sou…
If you go through 7sage's Core Curriculum, it'll be tough to get through it in 7 weeks, and implement the ideas in PTs. I'd say bust through that CC and try to absorb it quickly; do practice sections but make sure you're blind reviewing, and thoroug…

Are you taking the January test?
At this point, I don't think I will take the January test.
Totally your call but I suggest you do it, man. Give yourself the best opportunity to get …

Don't give more information than you need though. Yes behonest, yes take accountability but don't provide more information than you need.

This is apropos of nothing, but in that legendary cast I still put Jack Lemmon at the top. His character was so heartbreaking. Of course Al Pacino is Al Pacino, but Jack Lemmon's Shelley, in all his desperate attempts of enthusiasm even though life …
After listening to the podcast with that admissions officer from Cardozo, I am more thinking that every writing prompt is an opportunity to show your writing skills. I wouldn’t worry about whether or not the topic is common, but instead, how you wou…
I would echo what was just said but also add that you should add enough detail about the event to adequately describe it/what happened/the disposition. Definitely take full responsibility, make no excuses, and emphasize that you’re different now.

I don’t remember all the details but I sent it electronically from Parchment and it just worked. I remember wondering if it would, and it just did. It was perhaps my only personal triumph in this process haha

I agree about it being none of their business. But, and here's the twist, what if I list a school ranked far below theirs? Now they will think the other school is the safety school and they are the real goal!! Haha!! Sucks …

The entire process is mind boggling. It completely disenfranchises people of color and those who are low income, which are the people we should be seeking to add diversity to the legal field. I hate it and I’m going to reform…
99.9% sure they have no way of knowing. I’m not answering it. I don’t want schools to know where they stand in my batch. That info could affect scholarship money, acceptance. I really think it’s none of their business.

Hello @Louislepauvre, I'd love to swap PS with you. I write grants for a living and have done a ton of research on writing these things (probably too much), so I love to provide feedback on writing and have a good se…

However, my situation is quite different and I'm not having any of my college professors as recommenders--I graduated many years ago.
I’m also in that situation—graduated from undergrad in 2008. Did you double check that…

That common wisdom is still true. A lot of schools won't review your application if you have a pending LSAT. The absolute best thing for you to do to maximize your chances would be to apply next cycle of course, but if yo…
The highest ranked school I am applying to is Fordham which is in the 30’s. I’m only applying to schools in NYC, because my life is here and I can’t leave. The other schools I am applying to: Cardozo, Brooklyn Law School, New York Law School, St Joh…
I found it helpful to know that the reviewer receives one long PDF, and they just scroll through (unless they print them out, but I would bet only 5% of reviewers do that). I’m going visualize that process as I’m finishing my docs. Also, It makes se…
