I think that may be part of it but I would guess more of it is more people with more time to study. People that score below their goals are much more likely to retake again in November or December or whatever as well. Those above 170 though, and e…

I would think so if it is an obviously missing word. You can probably send them an email and say sorry, attached the wrong file. Here is the correct one. This is a good question for a 7 sage staffer though.

lsac has their own as well. I am not sure what all the differences are.

@karko2525 you're very welcome

@"samuel.burton" said: The title says it all. Somehow I got a 179!!! Congrats, that is amazing. Thanks for sharing the info too. I am still waiting on my results since I waited a bit for the writing, but it is great to know that the curve th…

Congrats, that is great improvement for a few months!

Congrats

@MEGANWELCH97 First Megan, because I do not want to beat around the bush. You are not going to get into Harvard with that 149. There is almost no chance of that happening. However, the good news is that the LSAT is learnable. I do not know how f…

@kchurich and others. A high 150's is not the end of the world. I have a friend that got some scholarship aid at GW with a 159. A 3.6, 3.7, or 3.85 is a solid GPA outside the top 20 or so. If you have a solid application those schools are still …

@LSATcantwin thanks for your response. I appreciate that there simply probably isn't some magic formula to make it work. I have a ton of debt from grad school already, and want as close to a full ride as I can get. I have the LSAT score (waiting …

@chanyounglee You are very welcome. Hopefully they help you.

@godoycarla1 It has not finished processing yet. I'm back on the I'm okay waiting because not knowing means I do not have to stress about what the score means. I'm all over the place about this apparently.
-
@Climb_to_170 that is an incredible and inspiring journey. Great job, may your law school dreams come true.
-
It really depends on your GPA and other factors. For us to assess that we would need more information. It also boils down to risk tolerance
-
It's also an appropriate diversity statement element
-
This is an excellent suggestion and something everyone should do
-
Thanks, maybe I'll try after all then @yeahnice

In regards to what your question about GPA coming down, the important thing to remember is that it is not the average GPA, but the median. Because of that, while of course your GPA will be a knock against the school's three medians, all they need t…

Anyone else getting really stressed about their score? I really was not too worried immediately after, and did not even take the writing immediately. But now I am really stressed by the waiting on the score. I want to have it and know where I sta…
-
@lipgeneration brings up an excellent point. I think you should do some in the late 80's, the harder questions on the late 80's are a very different style from the hard questions on the earlier PTs in my opinion, but also assume that they are likel…
-
That probably depends how out of pattern it is. Are you a 3.9 student with a couple of concerning grades or a 2.5 student that had some issues? Did the same issues that led to you dropping the Con Law class adversely affect your GPA as a whole tha…
-
@LSATcantwin can you talk a little about your application process and strategy either here or in a PM? I am hoping for strong scholarship support but the word this year is that the number of 175+ LSAT scores on applications is more than double the …
-
I am in a similar situation. 2.5ish and I expect around a 176 on my LSAT score arriving this week. Right now I am planning applications for Penn, UVA, Northwestern, Michigan, Duke, Georgetown, Texas, and Wash U. I think for us a lot depends on co…
-
Well viewing that link was stressful. 126% increase in LSAT scores at/over 175. 25% or more increase in applications basically everywhere. Hopefully this is just a reflection of more people having had time to prepare applications earlier and not …
-
@lilpingling and @FindingSage You guys are both amazing and always have great input and insight. I definitely agree with them. Do what you can and PTs are, unfortunately, awkward to fit into a busy schedule. I used to do a section at work and ano…
-
Practice and perspective I think. At that range you are solidly in the 160's I think, right? I suggest taking 1-2 PTs a week and BRing with one or more people also in the 160's or higher. Really listen to how they got their answers and what their…
-
I also would say that @Christopherr 's advice is good with the caveat that it is not for everyone. If you are trying to improve speed definitely give something like that a try, but it it doesn't work for you after several attempts do not force it. …
-
I would think you just keep trying to prepare the way anyone in that score range would. Most everyone has a gap between their BR and PT score, there is just never enough time to give each problem all the thought you should. If you keep working and…
-
What did the conversation look like when you called about the writing? I definitely took mine later than many, and getting my score is not urgent since I am not done with applications, but am getting kind of antsy wanting to know at this point. Di…

I agree with @Logician If there are still points to make up in LG and on LR keep at it. You can definitely do it. That score jump is absolutely something to be proud of.
