I guess they prefer people who go like, "I was thinking of studying political science in grad school but I already have a perfect GRE score, so maybe I should apply to law schools?" to people like me who spend years studying f…
I recommend at least a year off! Was going to go straight through (graduated in May and would be in LS right now) but decided against it. Was one of the best decisions I've made, I definitely think a break from school is great and it allows me to fo…

@TheMikey If only! I'm hoping I get fee waivers from all the schools I'm applying to hehe. Right now I got UChicago, Vandy, UPenn, Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, and Emory.
I wish!!
I also got Emory, but don't plan on applying. …
Of schools I care about, I've gotten fee waivers via email from Berkeley, Penn, Michigan, Vandy, and BU. If only these were acceptances
e: also 99% confident I got one from Penn so they could probably just ding my ass lol

Haha true! Also a huge thing about that is that a pass won't be factored into an LSAC GPA but…

Should we start studying for GRE!?!? I know someone who studied for GRE for a week and scored 99 percentile. I said “F%$#” when I heard that story.
There are geniuses who score 99 percentil…

I think it would depend on if the class is typically pass/fail or not. I come from a huge state school and the only class people normally take pass/fail is P.E. If this is a class that most students take for a grade (ex. biolog…
Nope, shouldn't hurt you one bit for any school. Maybe if you're applying to Yale it might but that I'm not sure of and I even doubt they care that much. The only way I can see P/F classes hurting is if you have a crap ton of them which MAY raise so…
Top schools won't be skeptical. I say don't submit one because having a lower score and then a high score shouldn't raise any eyebrows. Most likely all schools except Yale won't care about your 159 and they will want you for that 179. Just apply wit…
On a saturday???
either way, register for it and if for some reason the do call you to come in on a saturday (which seems very weird..?) just have them defer you and they will do it once.
You can definitely get good scholarships depending on what schools they are.
Is a school like UW madison a school you are looking to go to? I'd say you have a chance at scholly. If you're looking at a top law school I'd say your chances aren't too …

Diagnostic of 152, three months later took the September 2017 LSAT and got a 176. Thanks JY and co.!
that's a very nice jump lol congrats !
I got one from Berkeley and my LSAT isn't that great for them but GPA is. I wouldn't look too into it though. They send waivers out with like an automated system in which they put a range (for you and I, it was most likely based on GPA) that sends t…

@TheMikey where did you purchase the Cambridge volume? Thanks!
Cambridge doesn't sell them anymore but you MAY be able to find them on eBay or amazon but those who are selling them are selling them for ridiculous prices.

@TheMikey I'm fortunate enough where I don't have to worry about the price.
With a cursory reflection of my undergraduate years, I realized that I love school. I loved my writing assignments, I loved being a teacher's assis…
Unless you're willing to pay sticker (which is the most likely outcome since they don't need to buy you with money), I say don't ED.
Will the specialties and programs of even top 14 schools lock me into a certain career path? Not at all. Don't worr…
After the LR CC (which I revisited multiple times) and after tons and tons of drilling (went through an entire Cambridge vol 2 LR book twice as well, aka more than 1,000 questions almost twice lol) my LR on timed PTs got to about -1/-2 per LR. I wou…
7sage is one of the cheapest LSAT courses you can find, so I recommend 7sage! The starter pack is good because it has the entire core curriculum, but doesn't have the medium and hard problem sets. If you already have PT's themselves then it is no pr…
Assuming you are non-URM, probably out at all of your reaches, most likely in at your safeties and low chance at targets but I think if you get into any of your targets you may be paying sticker or will get very little money.
Taking a year off can …
Nah, don't do it. I feel like all they would say is "why didn't this person retake for a higher score then?". If you're going to apply with your current highest score then do so without the addendum.
If you were scoring in the 170's, I say just giv…
We'll all get through it, Sami!
Remember, although you didn't get your desired score, you got a score so many people dream of. Not only that, you scored around the 80th percentile (? sorry I'm bad with percentiles lol) right? I think a 164 is a gre…
