Yes, you will have to perform well, and better than URMs. You probably can't bank on getting anything lower than the median GPA/LSAT for a school you want to attend.
Does that mean if you're a split…
I guess the point of my post was whether or not you think this system is right or wrong, it exists. Law school admissions is a game. You're dealt your hand, you gotta play with what you got. Focus on changing what you can - your GPA, LSAT, LORs, Res…
Moving beyond the philosophical arguments, let's take a pragmatic approach:
Yes, you will have to perform well, and better than URMs. You probably can't bank on getting anything lower than the median GPA/LSAT for a school you want to attend.

Write your personal statements and other essays? That's what I'm doing with the time.
Same.
I felt that gap too. May as well fill it with being productive

Half of every incoming class will be below the median GPA
Haha it's so easy to forget that. I always think about needing to be above the median GPA for a school, when in reality half the people they take are below
@LSATcantwin @not2lindsay
You guys are summing up exaaaaaaaactly how I felt. During PTs I feel like I'm really understanding each question, parsing through all the answers, and picking the right choice. But on the real LSAT, it felt robotic..it fel…
@acsimon See, I wouldn't even say that the passages in the experimental were difficult. In fact, they felt kinda straightforward and simple..but for some reason it just felt long and I ran out of time..Idk why...maybe the passages were longer? Not s…

I had the same exact experience with the first RC. My first section was the experimental RC and I did awful. They called 5 minutes before I got to the last passage and I was like..."What? That hasn't happened in like 8 PTs..." B…
This is a great question. I think only two of the schools I'm applying to have specific "Why X?" essay prompts; I'm using a blanket personal statement for every other school.
I'm not aware of any website/source that discusses the idiosyncrasies of …
@"vanessa fisher" According to the LSAC, the projected release date for the September scores is October 12.
As part of a recent trend, the LSAC has been sending scores out 1-3 days early. But, they've released it as early as 13 days early in years …
Overheard: How long is each section?
Real LSATs taken prior: ~35
How many questions guessed: 1 or 2 - educated guesses though
Expected Score: Not where I wanted . I think probably mid-to-high 160s.
Cancel - No
Timing Issues - Only on the experi…
@"Cant Get Right" Yeah. I've decided not to cancel and just see what my score is like. Praying for a big curve.
And yeah, that RC experimental just wrecked your mind...it didn't seem fair at all. I heard the experimental games weren't too bad or mi…
@acsimon That was how I felt too! I just felt like I was moving so fast that I must have missed something..like I could easily see myself getting -3 to -4 on each LR section, and then -5+ on Reading Comp. Maybe perfect on the games, but then again w…
@tylerdschreur10 I agree completely..It's annoying how many proctors don't understand how important this exam is to the people taking it. Any little distraction or noises/mistakes they make is potentially hurting someone's future.
@AllezAllez21 I think there's something unsettling about not knowing your score immediately after taking the exam..Like with PrepTests after each PT I could go back and check my answers immediately and figure out what I got right and what I got wron…
@xtinextine So the first 3 passages of the RC experimental felt SUPER easy to me! But then the proctor called time and I was like what the heck?! Part of me thinks the proctor actually called time early. I couldn't get through the last passage. Was …
I never guessed on any questions, and I finished each section with a bit of time to spare. But I just didn't feel cognitively 100%..idk I might just be psyching myself out...
My first section was an experimental reading comp. section. But I didn't realize it was experimental until the end
The proctor called 5 minutes when I hadn't even read the final passage...I started tearing up right there and my confidence was just…
No reason to be scared! YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
J.Y. is watching over you. He will be your guardian angel. You have nothing to fear.
Hey all. So I did my research. In previous years, your photo was not printed on your admission's ticket, thus you had to bring both a photo AND a ticket.
This was recently changed to where your admissions ticket has your photo - they are one in the…
