@"Seeking Perfection" It's a transitional phrase.

@ohnoeshalpme I definitely use "cognizant" in my daily vocabulary...but then again I'm a huge nerd.
-
@"jack.igoe" You could mention something about when you were taking those advanced courses how your professors raised their eyebrows at such a young person doing them, but that you shined and proved their skepticism wrong. Idk just spitballing
-
Yeah! I think you should make sure your personal statement, diversity statement, or any letters of rec can attest to your maturity though, as that may be a concern for admissions officers.
-
You just have to make sure to assign them as your recommender on the LSAC website. Then make sure that you send them a letter request via the LSAC website - this will send your recommender an e-mail with instructions of how to send the letter of rec…

I don't have any advice but I thought this was an ad for the Samsung Galaxy S6 lol
-
YAY ! CONGRATS!
-
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...

@jack.igoe Honestly with those numbers I think you would be golden for a Cornell or Georgetown. Their 75th percentile GPAs are pretty low - you're way above them (as am I lol ). Even if your LSAT is a bit lower than their median, I think your GPA m…
-
@TheMikey Yeah haha that's my main worry - that if I apply now with a lower score I may get less $$$$$$. Do you know if I can report to them a higher score and demand more money? Lol.
-
@"jack.igoe" I think you should ask right after you get your midterm scores back. Make sure you go to office hours a lot and show that you're working hard in their class. But ask them sooner rather than later, give them a lot of time to write the l…

I had the same thoughts. I had spent a while with my professors already (previous classes, research, etc.), but I waited until I finished some assignments in the classes I'm taking with them now before I asked them for LORs. Make sure you do well in…

@lsatplaylist Yeah I think the skills you learn in the early RC can still be helpful. It's good practice to get used to going back to the passage for some of their questions. Just know that modern RC has a lot more big picture questions - inferences…
-
@mgzero2 It's good that RC is your best section, since most prep courses don't do a lot of RC focus. I do think that LR and LG are the two most "perfectible" sections though, but they do take a lot of grinding. Stick with it and you will see improv…

@FerdaFresh Whatever works for you! I just found for me that diagramming actually took my brain out of the passage. I guess I'm definitely more of a "narrative" thinker - I like to read like a continuous flow. Diagramming in any way, like circling…
-
@westcoastbestcoast Love your forest and the trees analogy. I agree. I think the older exams (PTs ~60s and older) tended to focus a lot more on "the trees" while the newer ones focus on "the forest." So different reading strategies may be appropria…

Double space...manually ?

A lot. The games also change over time too. The PT70s games are much different than the PT40s games, etc. So just practice everything!

I've gotten fee waivers from both NYU and Berkeley. 167/3.9

People don't get how hard the LSAT is. Just don't pay them any mind.
-
Call your employer/coworkers? Or maybe just guesstimate? You could just put "~25hrs/wk" to cover your bases.
-
Hey I'd swap
-
I would put hours if you were working concurrently with school - shows to what extent you were balancing school and academics. Also yeah, for such promotions I would definitely list them and call attention to them. For example, I put on my resume …
-
I was wondering this too!
-
I don't think so. I'm talking about how I want to pursue some kind of government/public policy work. I don't think it's ever bad to indicate if you have a specific reason for going to law school.

Yussss @Freddy_D; sliding in your DMs now
