I was really drawn to Northwestern because they skew slightly older and there seems to be more married students than anywhere else in the T14 and more parents as well. I spent a while lurking on the alumni/student NU thread on TLS and they seemed pr…

Half my DS was about being a parent. I've wanted to be a father since I was about 12 years old which makes me somewhat of an outlier since most men don't really have that as a life goal starting in childhood. I really wanted to emphasize that point …
-
I'd say you need to start reverse engineering it a bit more and really lean on POE (especially during BR) to get your mind right. The really consistent patterns in the test appear more in the wrong ACs than the right ones in my opinion. So being abl…

Only one school I applied to had a word limit, it was 500! I knew the shortest page limit I had seen was two pages so I made mine exactly two pages so I could use it pretty much everywhere that didn't have a really restrictive prompt. Most schools f…

I'm just hoping they like adorable babies because I'm about to strap my 4 month old to my chest and roll up there for a visit

I'll have to find the link on my computer later tonight for you, but there is a great lazy person's guide to law school on TLS that essentially treats it as a 9-5 job (and isn't even that lazy TBH) and is what I plan on implementing because unless I…

What phase of studying are you in? You really want these and MP to be automatic as they are the lowest hanging fruit, even when things start to get dicey on the hardest questions of these types. While the dynamics are fairly obvious in easier questi…

Great post Iggy. We had a non-trad slash old folks thread before, and there are some good ones on TLS that I've frequented in the past. Also, unless a school asks for it specifically, "why law?" is pretty played out as Mike Spivey alluded to the o…
-
It is based on analytics of 7Sagers. If you analyze the dynamics a bit more closely you'll see there is a rough threshold for each difficulty level based on the percentage of people that get each question right. Even for level 5 questions the thresh…
-
Definitely not an addendum since you want to keep those to a minimum and six years is not even that long. You can address it in your PS if you like, but it is by no means necessary. The one thing you don't want is a boring PS, so if you can't addres…
-
I don't understand what you mean by "uneventful" or what it is to do with this situation. If you worked hard and contributed to the company then there has to be someone that could write a rec to reflect that. Furthermore, you are a fairly recent gra…

Don't review those on BR. You'll catch them as confidence errors if you get any wrong once you score the test and then you will still review them at that point.

While I can't say for sure whether Avery is actually innocent or not (I tend to think he is innocent as I agree with much of what Strang and Buting's investigator said about Avery not being intelligent enough to pull this off with so little evidence…

@lsatings said: it is also crucial to show evidence of growth and some sort of amendments you made to show you are 'not those grades'. This.
-
Totally depends on the passage. If I don't remember where the evidence was I will read all the ACs and then read the passage over again so I can effectively get rid of four wrong ACs.
-
I would say all else being equal, these scenarios are definitely different to a law school. If I had to rank them I would say C>B>D>A. However, if all else was not equal, as @"Mike Spivey" discussed last night, as the cycle wears on the dif…

Why would the alternative be sitting at home? You would have hundreds of millions of dollars... Get on that private jet!
-
Personally, I have never seen that to be the case and was not told to write one by my consultant and one grade out of ~40 is likely not going to make too much of an impact on your GPA. GPA addenda are for addressing low GPA, not addressing a single …
-
No, do not draw undue attention to this with an addendum. It's one class and it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. You want to write as few addenda as possible.
-
@nikdim67 said they used up 60+ so I suggest the 50s for fresh tests and 70s for the retakes since those are the most recent and applicable to the current dynamics, not to mention the fact that the timeline is pretty tight so they would never use up…
-
Definitely... I'd walk into HYS and ask them how many buildings I need to pay for to gain admission.
-
Just make some nice cold brew the night before and you'll be good to go!
-
You're about three weeks out so there isn't much room for improvement in this short a span of time unless you suck at LG. I would do 2-4 PTs per week and make half of them retakes of tests in the 70s and the rest I would use PTs from the 50s. Spend …

Or stop playing Fallout 4 and go watch Making A Murderer so you can join the discussion.

Clean copy is important but it doesn't mean you BR the whole test. And I think Dave addressed the confidence issues very well in his last post.
-
Oh yeah you definitely need to start circling. You're likely wasting an inordinate amount of time on easy questions. If you're in the low 160s you should be circling 5-10 questions per section at most. You will save yourself a ton of time and learn …
-
BR takes as long as it takes. Everyone is different and individuals will differ throughout their prep. That being said, how far along in your prep are you? And how many questions are you circling? Once you're into 20+ PTs or are in the 165+ range y…

Take it to the next level and use the Bruce voice!
-
7Sage no longer has a law school prep course. The guy who ran it still does one though. Most people get by without doing any prep (including top performers across the board), so why not just enjoy your last few months of freedom? Furthermore, I feel…

@lsatings is correct, no addendum necessary as it will only draw negative attention.
