If the decision is finalized, it means people might be able to choose between GRE and LSAT even though they have LSAT scores on the record, right?
(This might save us in the future, @sillllyxo lol)
Not necessarily. It's…

I've heard about too with legal academia and I wonder why, like why is it so hard to get in with teaching?
Because it's an awesome job -- good pay, and not too much responsibi…
When they put a subtle trap as AC (A) in a question toward the end of the section, when they know people will be pressed for time and be more likely to take an answer that sounds good at first glance. Wicked, wicked people.

Kamala Harris (Senator of California) went to U.C. Hastings School of Law. Hastings is currently ranked 54 on USN. I think this might answer your question
And Mike Pence went to Indiana (Mckinney, not Maurer) School of La…

Hey,
I think going into a school that's not T-14 depends on what you want to do. As someone who worked at a really nice law probate/family firm in Downtown Dallas, sure you have your T-14 grads but we also had people who went …

Sometimes I get tripped up, I always assume the "most vulnerable to criticism" questions to be weaken questions.
Well, you have to knock that out of your system.
I'm not sure what the "is"/"out" flaw is. At any rate, when y…

I feel like they can't know...but that doesn't make it right. It really sucks a recommender wouldn't write the letter themselves...
It happens far more often than you'd think. People are pressed for time, and they want at…
Do you usually have a good idea of what the flaw in the argument is before going to the answers and you are getting tripped up only because of confusing language, or do you find that you are often going to the answers without really having a solid …

I was thinking of doing this; some schools will just hold off on reviewing your app until your Dec exam and others will give you the option to be reviewed on the basis of your past scores. For schools that will hold o…

One time, when on range, I couldn't find my ear plugs but wanted to shoot for practice. I smoked two cigarettes and plugged my ears with the butts. 0/10 would never do that again. No one noticed though, and they kinda worke…
The only purpose in taking a diagnostic is to give you a benchmark, so that you can measure how much you've improved. If that information is of no use to you, then by all means, skip it.

Writing your own letter and having it approved by someone else is considered "nonauthentic".
Are you sure this is true. In some circles, It's pretty standard to ask someone to write his own letter first.

It sounds from your post that you might be under the impression that schools can see if you postponed your LSAT date?
Good point! Sounds like you've been practicing necessary assumption questions!
If you're not ready, there's no question in my mind. Of course you delay. The fact that you're O,K. with waiting until next cycle makes this an even easier question. I don't really hear an argument in favor of taking. BTW, why June 18 and not Septem…
Some schools require this only for need-based scholarships, some require it for all scholarships, including those that are merit-based. You have to check school by school. You can fill it out after applying; it only affects scholarship money actuall…
@"Dillon A. Wright" The only thing I'd point out, though, is that Ultimate provides access to more recent preptests, which are of more value. Granted, one can buy the preptests, but if one wants J.Y.'s explanations, buying the course is the only opt…
True, but an important caveat: A sufficient assumption can address the gap by overshooting the mark, that is, it assumes more than what is need to cover the gap. Kinda like killing a bug with a nuclear bomb.
