@BinghamtonDave said: Are you asking this in a Jordan Peterson-esque way? "clean your damn room" I probably asked a little bit nicer than he would xD

@"Tim Hortons" said: Perhaps there's a correlation between very tidy rooms and doing well on the LSAT? Meticulous minds, attention-to-deal sorts. Yeah, i'd guess that it is associated with a person's aptitude for logic games. Also organizati…

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" applies pretty clearly here. It's cliche, sure, and your odds of getting a better offer next are very high. But, it would mean waiting a year for something that may not improve your odds of landing a job…

did you choose toronto or osgoode?

If your friends and girlfriend gave up on you during this time they weren't real anyway. Good work my dude. We can all gain something from this kind of post.

The 7sage community is always going to tell you to retake in this type of situation. Everyone wants to start law school right now but it just doesn't happen that way for most people. You need to give yourself plenty of time to study so that you unde…

It depends on your standing with similarly/higher ranked schools. If they're your top choice and you have no other schools waiting on you then it's unlikely that they'll be willing to send you any money. They hold all the cards - or they think they …

Study at the public library. The occasional noises will be similar to test day and you will have the benefit of study rooms and a quiet academic space. Also, look into mindfulness meditation. 20ish minutes a day helped me concentrate on LSAT materi…

Fool-proof LG's as early as possible. Try doing 2 games a day from PT's 1-35, you'll be done with the whole batch in less than 3 months and you should see significant improvement in LG, perhaps even -0/-1 consistently.

I popped up as an ENTP. Seems to fit my personality, then again, the test is a "One size fits most" type of test.
-
Not sure if this helps but usually a "hold" is more favorable than a regular waitlist. The hold usually means that your application is being set aside for further review as opposed to a reserve which probably means that you're there just waiting in …

I don't think that writing anything down is necessary for most questions. If you have time at the end of the section and your skips are still giving you trouble you can try and use some diagramming to help yourself see the question in a new way

Some of us would like the big city money and the small town lifestyle. Highly unlikely though
-
Gaps aren't good, but they're not going to make or break you either. I recommend that you fill your resume with something, anything. I spoke with the admissions reps from a few T14 schools and they all said the same thing - "we don't care what you d…

I think that this anomaly will resonate across more than just a single cycle. An influx of high LSAT scores can be explained things such as unlimited takes, improvement of online resources or even the strengthening of the economy. All of these facto…

Yes, write it. Law schools want to know that you bring a unique perspective. At worst it wont make a difference and at best it might tip your application into the accept pile.
-
Take the test under your own test day conditions. We don't take practice tests with 50% less time than we will get on test day, why should you? That extra 17 minutes completely changes the test. Try pushing your blind review score into the 170's an…

24 Hours with 24 Lawyers was a fun read. It gives a brief autobiography of 24 different lawyers - interesting but not necessarily insightful.
-
The simple answer to your question is yes. Your GPA is just as relevant now as it was 10 years ago. Law schools seem to care more about their ranking than almost anything else. Given that GPA is usually one of the largest determiners of said ranking…

@"Seeking Perfection" said: Law school numbers is good especially since it also provides scholarship info. http://mylsn.info/dispresults.php is a nice way to automatically sort through some of the data from law school numbers. The main pro…

I've heard that citing scholarship offers from similarly ranked schools is a useful strategy for negotiation. You can use bigger offers from other schools to convince your ideal school to match or at least consider giving a little more. Not sure if …
-
I also want to point out that this is a pretty fruitless debate
-
@"Seeking Perfection" said: This is all still assuming that you have control over where you place on the curve. The evidence is mostly the other way. Most law school students seem to study close to as hard as they can and some do poorly agai…
-
@"Seeking Perfection" As you mention above, the correlation between law school GPA and job acquisition is a strong incentive in its own right. However, it is more of a long-term incentive and one that does not necessarily have immediate implication…
-
Could be a good thing for you to be honest. Negative incentives aren't always bad.

I know that the admissions process only gets more infuriating, confusing and frustrating the closer it gets to the end of each cycle. I'm sorry to hear that you feel like throwing in the towel. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/590/1*DFm2IkZ1ofdX…

It depends on what you're scoring currently. It depends on what your career goals are. It depends what school you want to attend. It depends on whether you're shooting for scholarship money. The answer to your question, however, is usually to postp…

Thanks for the feedback all

Congrats to UCI on the big jump this year. Best of luck to you and your family How do you think that your perception of law school has changed in the entire process from pre-lsat to lsat study to 1L and beyond?

16 weeks studying 30 hrs/week then yes you will improve - 16 weeks studying 5hrs/week, probably some improvement, but not 15+ points. Most people take about a year to improve that much. A 16 week plan would require you to devote a lot of time each w…
