Congratulations! I think if at all possible you should definitely visit both schools. Have you received any financial aid information yet? That will also be a big factor.
-
I believe your understanding is correct! I think if you are at both medians then that school should be a "target" school for you. Meaning, not sure enough that it's a safety school but there's a good enough chance that it's not necessarily a reach. …

I would recommend picking one curriculum and just sticking with it. I started with Powerscore before I found 7sage, and while I don't think it hurt me, I did have to learn different methods when I switched to 7sage. I think it's better to just learn…

I think it's good to do at least a few five section tests but to be honest I always did four sections in practice and on test day I didn't feel too tired for the fifth one.

What is your goal score? Is it going to be feasible to have such a rigorous study schedule while you're still in school? I started with Powerscore before I found 7sage and I don't think that using both hurt me necessarily, but if I were to go back a…

I think that they all are meant to exclude Spain.

Welcome back! I'm preparing myself for the possibility of a round two as well after September, but I just can't bring myself to study until I have my score. I don't feel bad about the test but I have a hard time predicting my scores. I know what you…
-
Yeah I think so
-
I'm not sure about the computer program, but another option that I've heard of people using is to just print one copy of a game and put it in those plastic page protectors and write on it with a dry erase marker (it wipes of easily and you can reuse…
-
It’s not really “permanent” if they’re willing to change it with a letter from the school. The “evidence” that they have that you went there is that you said you went there. You say they don’t trust anyone, but you also think that they shouldn’t tru…
-
Yes, you should disclose it. It may not seem like a big deal, but it’s better to disclose and be on the safe side. I’d also be careful regarding the way you talk about the incident in question- sexual misconduct is really serious and hurts your char…
-
That's unfortunate but hey at least you got into a better school! And you learned your lesson with something that should be relatively easy to fix, so try not to stress too much over it!

How come you're taking both November and January? Is it for ED purposes?
-
The November test probably isn’t a good choice if you’re trying to score around 150. It takes a couple months to go through the core of the course and that wouldn’t leave you any time for practice tests. Having said that, which course you choose pro…

@GermanLSATtaker it's definitely okay to reuse letters of recommendation
-
The reason that I would consider ethnically diverse/LGBTQ more of a diversity factor is because schools report their numbers on those groups. It's seen as a boost for the school to have a certain percentage of non white students, etc. Almost every s…
-
I'm sorry you had such a rough time Which schools do you want to ED to? If you believe you did worse than a 160, cancel. If not, I'd keep the score, even if it might only be a few points higher.
-
Being mentally ill/overcoming a mental illness isn't diversity in my opinion. It could make a great personal statement for sure, and I'm not saying that it isn't powerful or that you shouldn't bring it up, but diversity is more like international/et…
-
Hi! I'm not going to this one, but from my limited experience with law fairs, I'd definitely go with business casual. They don't want your resume. If/when you apply to their school, they'll get it then. And the people at the fair aren't the ones mak…
-
@CeeCarino although it is strongly preferred to have at least one academic letter, if you have no way of contacting your former professors/they won't remember you at all, then it's okay to have recommendations from other people such as employers/sup…
-
I think if you had two professors and wanted to use the dean as a third non academic letter, that would be okay too.
-
You definitely need to choose 3.0-3.49. If you had a 3.495, then you miiiiiiight be able to round up, but unfortunately that's not really an option here. The disadvantage of fudging about your GPA range is that admissions people will see right throu…
-
I went to a law fair last year and (in addition to having a really fun time) learned a lot. As far as clothing goes, I'd go with business casual. I think that the questions you ask should be whatever ones that you're genuinely curious about. I would…
-
@AudaciousRed that is such a sweet story about your husband. Definitely a keeper I think if you were to check that box it might honestly be a really good experience because it seems like not ever being able to fully come out is a little upsetting, …
-
@keets993 summed it up perfectly. Keep everything you like and just tweak things/polish it up so that it doesn't seem like you didn't bother to put more effort into it.
-
I think if your Dean taught a class that you took or was your advisor for some sort of academic project/paper, then that would be fine. The fact that the Dean is in academia isn't enough to make it an academic letter though, because as the commenter…
-
Are you skipping the really hard questions? If you skipped two per passage and got the rest correct, that would give you your -8, and it would give you more time to hit all of the passages. Are you usually missing a certain questions type, like infe…
-
@lsatstar absolutely! And as far as being open to the world by checking yes to being LGBTQ, I don't think that that's necessarily true. The admissions people would know but they're not going to actively out you to the rest of campus, so you'll still…
-
The only benefit might be if they think it's suspicious somehow to not answer the question. I can't see that really having an effect though.
-
That will definitely be the best practice for the LSAT. If you're looking for stuff to read outside of specific study time, I would read history/humanities books since you have trouble with those passages. Heck even watching history documentaries in…
