@kdanne You should have no problem getting -0 on LG once you start to drill all of the games and use the fool proof method.
-
I don't think the RC passages have gotten harder, but the answer choices are definitely a lot more trickier. I personally find the comparative passages to be much easier.
-
A significant improvement is definitely possible. My diagnostic was a 147 and now I'm currently scoring between 170-175.
-
I'm currently up to PTs in the high 50s and I find them to be much easier than the old exams.
-
It's a strengthening question.

@168/3.79 Your numbers now will most likely get you into Georgetown and Cornell, FWIW.
-
Yes, I really enjoyed the forum.
-
I attended a L.A.W.S. forum with the T14 on June 30th. You will not really have the chance to network with the schools. You will only have time to ask them a few questions. There will be hundreds of students at the LSAC forum, so I imagine it wil…

@braytsin My advice to you is to study hard and take the exam when you are fully prepared. Less than three months may not be enough time to prepare adequately. Do not force-feed yourself PTs and drilling packets if you do not have the fundamental…

@hrjones44 @Pacifico I'm not sure about convictions, but I know someone with a sealed record with serious charges can pass the bar
-
@Gz412326 I think you have to be very realistic here. Unless your father is Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, or an alumni who donated a building to the school, I don't think you should an acceptance in the T14. I'm just being brutally h…

I personally do not think you should retake. Here's why. Your average was a 171, which means you performed as expected. In fact, you performed closer to your average than most test-takers. If your PT average was a 178, then I would suggest retak…

Do not take the exam without mastering LG. LG are free points on the LSAT once you get the fundamentals down.
-
@Pacifico +1 re your assertion about Wharton and Booth being quant-heavy programs.
-
Stanford, Harvard, Chicago (Booth) and Penn (Wharton) are king. The most elite investment banks and private equity firms to refer these schools to others, as they are the best of the best.
-
You can also click "Law School Ranking" under tools on 7sage, and there should be an option at the top of the rankings.

Type it into Google and several calculaters will come up.

The money he will receive in the form of a scholarship is less than the money he will receive working as a freshly-minted attorney.
-
Because he will graduate a year later with no gains.
-
@nicole.hopkins My theory is as follows: suppose he takes a year off and earns a score high enough to get a $50k scholarship. He will be losing out if he's planning on doing Biglaw, since he can allocate more than $50k a year towards repayment wit…
-
@seth.corley Now that I know definitively that you want to do PI, my advice is completely different. Why not go to a school like Fordham with close to a full scholarship? Why would you pay sticker at a T14 if you plan on getting a lower-paying jo…
-
@Pacifico I think you can rely on getting a Biglaw job if you go to a T14 (minus Georgetown). Over 65% (usually more) at most of the T14 schools get either a a Biglaw job or federal clerkship. Most of the other people don't want Biglaw. They wan…

@Pacifico I know for a fact Wachtell's bonuses are AT LEAST 100% of an associate's base salary. Susan Godfrey pays 1st year associate's around $100k if they bill a lot and produce high quality work. Bodies Schiller pays top billers around $50k the …
-
@jdawg113 @Pacifico I do not think he should retake. Here's why. Let's say you take a year off, retake the exam, and get a $50k scholarship to NYU. While a scholarship of that amount is great you are actually losing money, that is, if you plan …
-
I have found that studying for the LSAT 24/7 is counterproductive. I used to drill for hours every day and I would take PTs twice a week. Now I currently take 2 PTs a week and I take timed sections 3 days a week. The other two days I do a light B…
-
@"Quick Silver" Quick question: You mentioned that you were PTing in the 170s, but you scored a 162 on your first exam. Is there a reason why your score was way below your PT average? I know JY says to average the 3 most recent exams and your sco…
-
@seth.corley First off I would like to congratulate you on getting a 166 and graduating with a 4.00+ gpa. My LSAC gpa is currently a 4.03, so I am in the same boat as you (in terms of gpa, that is). I would say that your chances are not good, but …

@kicurtis Are you by any chance a VA resident? If so, I would apply ED to UVA.
-
@jdawg113 UVA Berkeley Georgetown Michigan Cornell (although those numbers for Cornell are not considered a reverse splitter) NYU has taken 100% of people with a 4.00 and a 167, FWIW. Chicago has taken many applicants who had a 4.00 and a 168. Colu…

someone with a 3.9+ and a 165 can get into a T-14, although it might not be a top 10. Probably GTown, Cornell, etc.
