For sections that you don't check the "this section does not apply to me" box, it is generally better to fill in as much information as possible, even when the information is redundant. Otherwise you end up with a lot of blank space on your applicat…

Also when you look at the graphs on LSN the reverse splitter friendly schools will have a broader horizontal distribution while the splitter friendly schools (like NU) will be much more vertical in their distribution.

What range of schools are you looking at? Berkeley is the most notorious for this in the T14, along with a few others. And what actual numbers are we talking about here?

Yale is the only school that really looks down on more than one take. Pretty much everyone else will take the highest score if you take it two or three times. Once you get into taking it four or more times it changes the perception a bit but dependi…

Have you done any sort of course/curriculum? Between this and other posts of yours it seems like you're wandering around in the dark in regards to this test. If money is an issue I would pick up a copy of The LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim and work throug…

Some schools specifically ask or provide space for you to provide explanations for low GPA/LSAT and other issues they might find in your transcripts. Even if you don't see those prompts, I would still write a very short (one paragraph) addendum basi…

It was everyone guessing what the "curve" would be on the test which here is represented by the number of questions you could get wrong and still get a 170. It turned out to be a -12 "curve" so you could get 89 out of 101 and get a 170.

Definitely retake in June. I'd grab the Trainer and the Starter pack and take a few months to get through all that. Then pick up with PTs in the 40s, 50s and 70s in March or April and do some excellent clean copy BR and you should be getting some go…

Absolute worst case scenario you just write an addendum to explain a terrible score, but it is more than likely that you won't need to.
-
Highest score is the score. You can pretty much throw out Y just for retaking but everywhere else will take that low 170 (or higher) and go with that. You can't change anything you've done so just get your apps on point and you'll be fine.
-
Yes the number that starts with L is your LSAC number, your CAS number, your LSAT number and whatever else you might find use for.
-
There are only two real rules: answer the prompt and don't be boring. If contractions work then go for it. This isn't an academic paper or one that would otherwise require such formality.
-
You don't have to address this anywhere on your application.
-
Don't bother binding. Turning the page takes the same amount of time bound or unbound and if you have made it this far in life you shouldn't have an issue with this on test day just because you didn't bind your PTs.

If you're all but set on Big Law then you need to forget about USNWR and look at rankings like these: http://tippingthescales.com/2015/02/the-2015-go-to-law-schools/ Fordham and BC are much better options for Big Law than most of the non-T14 above …
-
Just make sure you specify that it is your degree GPA as of whatever date you choose to cut it off. They will see all your GPAs regardless so it shouldn't be a big deal.
-
Also it doesn't matter if the UG prof was in a law related class. Just get the best second academic LOR you can regardless of the area of expertise of the professor, or the class you took with them.
-
You really should have at least two academic if you can. You're not K-JD but you aren't far off so I would say your best bet is two academic LORs and one from your employer.
-
What school requires them? I haven't come across that yet...
-
Evals are a joke. Don't waste their time. They add nothing of value to your application and are pretty redundant if you get them from your recommenders.
-
I would wait another week and see if anything materializes.
-
And on the off chance you really confuse them then they will likely reach out for clarification if they even care at all.
-
I wouldn't write anything. They're not outliers and you don't want to make them read something that is unnecessary. Everyone has to live with their LSAC GPA and schools primarily only care about that number and if there are any positive trends that …
-
Yeah they don't acknowledge anything until it's all completed so once you finally hear from them it means everything is good to go. Probably not going to hear back until after New Years at this point.
-
It can take anywhere from a day or two to a week or two from personal experience. Often it takes longer for it to show up at LSAC from the school you requested it from. But if you haven't done so already you need to get on this because it should've …
