@picklerick I am in the same boat. An extreme super splitter trying for $$$$ at mid to lower T14 and I really needed to hit around or above my average of 176. I hit 173 which, given my sad, sad undergrad GPA may not even get me admission. The T14…

@nicholaswebernyc Good idea, just make sure you leave it on DND and put it in the closet. No additional digital devices are allowed in the room.

@Khushy_33 Absolutely agree. It is the community that sets 7Sage apart as much as the features. Wonderful community, which is attested to by how many people continue to provide advice and insight years after they gain admittance to law school.

@"purple nurple" I do not believe there is inflation on individual LSATs, my understanding is that each test is scored on its own curve, but I think we are just seeing a lot more people taking it and applying. The number of high scores are probabl…

Just as context, these feelings or realities are not limited to any particular range. Nor is moving down a few spots too terrible, except perhaps moving far out of T14, T50ish, or T100. I was a bit disappointed with my score, it is several points b…

@robotsoap I think, without reading your paper, that this might be an issue of the strong liberal tilt in academia. If you were applying for a PhD program I think your professor would likely be correct. However, law school is not the same as acade…

Congrats, that is wonderful!

@tmh5947 While I covered things related to this in your other post, it is really going to come down to what your final GPA and LSAT stats are. Try playing around with both 7sages and LSAC's law school predictor. LSAC gives you an overall range, 7s…

@tmh5947 I definitely got on this journey in a different way, finished undergrad 10 years ago, but I think you are on track. I would definitely encourage you to keep that GPA up, and also to take the LSAT again. Maybe study for it over the summer …

Congratulations!!!

I would agree, don't do it because you're above both medians. Unless Columbia has a guaranteed scholarship program for ED it's not a good decision for you. Apply normally, then also apply at some rival schools. Even if you're set on Columbia you …

BR with other high scorers. That's always my advice. It got me from around 170 to my 176 PT average before the October LSAT. There may be other suggestions people have as well, but decidely find a BR buddy, decide what PT you want to do together,…
-
UNC and Iowa at 27 would be your best bets around 25ish now. Maybe 24 Florida as well. You're still not at both medians though.
-
I think if you're just talking November you're much better waiting. You could do the "please hold my app until the next LSAT thing" which some schools allow. I would say though that since with those numbers you're likely below both medians you sho…
-
@jdy_995_004 You could do both, but if you are rejected from early decision I do not think you would get the chance to submit the new LSAT score from January. You are in a hard spot with NYU, particularly because applications are up this year. Hav…

@sun3201 If you have not done so yet read over the information on accommodations on the LSAC website. If you have received accommodations on past standardized tests like the SAT or GRE it should be a fairly easy process, just show them the letters …

Congrats man. You did it!

American University, the # 76 school which vastly outperforms their ranking career wise, has a 75th median GPA of 3.62 and a median LSAT of 159 but a 25th median LSAT of 151. You're therefore already above the 75th GPA and between 25th and 50th LSA…
-
@Mike1111 decidely do what @JDream2020 says. However, your existing stats sound like they would serve fine to go between 50 and 100. A 3.7 would be above median for many of those schools
-
@dianao6512 So the good news is that you decidedly don't need to T14 or even T20 to go Big law and really don't need to T14 to save money. The bad news is that if the purpose of big law is to save money and money is a concern neither DC nor Cali ar…
-
@LadyLawyer to evaluate this we would need to know what your target schools are and how your GPA and LSAT compare to them. You do not have to give us exact numbers if you are uncomfortable, but above or below what median is necessary to even give a…
-
@fruitjam Then, as best as I can say without knowing more, writing your essay about religion is acceptable but, like with any mildly taboo or sensitive topic, it must be done well.
-
@dianao6512 It sounds like you are a really great applicant and would be an asset at any law school. Unfortunately Stanford and Berkeley have an enormous number of excellent applicants and rely on GPA and LSAT to eliminate candidates. They also ma…

You cannot even have google open.
-
@fruitjam The bigger issue for me here with this personal statement topic is how does that tie in to you wanting to pursue law? Religion can be a wonderful topic if done correctly for either a PS or DS I would think, but you mentioned here how it …
-
Congrats @bmarsee123-1
-
@godoycarla1 For sure I would be more anxious about knowing if I was registered for another LSAT right now. November is not an option overseas unfortunately.
-
@"Alice Chung" I honestly think that if your goal is just top 30 both paths can get you into a school you desire, but one is, in my mind, better. Looking over my spreadsheet, a 167 is above 75th at most of the 21st to 31st ranked law schools. Emor…

Congrats! That is a great score!

@"Christina Walton" congrats, that is incredible. I think you have a great shot. Good luck in Boston!
