This was for this past fall's matriculants. It looks like that was the bottom as numbers appear to be slightly up this year, most significantly in the 160+ range so competition will be slightly tougher but it may also mean that schools can start inc…
Only do enough problem sets to familiarize yourself with the question type. Mastering strengthening questions during that unit in the curriculum is pretty pointless since the LSAT is all about switching gears from question type to question type and …
You'll need to tailor your PS to meet the requirements of certain schools, or throw it out all together at others. No need for any type of why law component unless it is explicitly asked for in the prompt. I had one school that had such a weird prom…
Sounds like you need to read some better journalism because the good stuff has never been better. There might be a lot to sift through but there are people doing amazing things in journalism today, they just don't work for the man.
Don't fool proof in the curriculum and stop doing all the problem sets. Do only enough to get a feel for the topic and then save the rest for your PT phase to shore up any weaknesses.
You can definitely give recommenders anything that you think might help them write a more complete and awesome LOR. Being able to read the LORs is a bit of a crapshoot and you would have to be supplied with a copy by the recommender because once it …
C is a classic trap answer in that it opens the door too wide for assumptions to be made. When an AC like this appears and you are allowed to choose one path or another and by choosing one path you can explain away the stimulus, but the other path w…
They stay there as long as you have an active CAS account. Some people get weird about it and want new dates so they have their recommenders change the dates and resubmit, but it is totally unnecessary.
You can't apply in June for the following year because apps aren't open yet. The big advantages for June are that you get two good backups in the fall and Dec tests, if you don't need those you'll have a head start and plenty of free time to work on…
No, evaluations are just a product LSAC made up that schools and adcoms generally loathe. They will not be adding value to your app. As long as you meet the minimum you're fine and LORs are all about quality over quantity. One caveat is if you are f…
Trust me you're better off being the only one without Evals... There is a reason some schools don't accept them at all... Also, if you don't have a fifth LOR in your back pocket then saving the fourth for a wait list can sometimes be a beneficial st…
You can start apps as soon as they open for each year, which is usually between 1 August and 1 October for matriculation the following fall, almost without exception. The vast majority are 1 or 15 September. You can always get resumes/PS/DS/addenda …
I go the opposite route. Give yourself a lot of distractions or at least a few so you won't be caught off guard on test day. I've done an entire RC section with my finger in a baby's mouth and it was no big deal and I scored better than my average. …
No hard and fast rules, you have to pick it up on feel more than anything. If there are more worlds than questions, maybe don't bother splitting up front. Conditional questions aren't always the best indicator because they might give you very little…
Well the other point is that you don't know what is on the apps from year to year until you open them and actually start them. And since LSAC auto-fills a ton of stuff well you can't really help but start the application once you open it. Plus you m…
