They may batch all applications that are priority and address them all first. Not all schools necessarily address applications in first come first served order. They may sort them by what they currently need this cycle, for example LSAT versus GPA…

Agree with above. Unless you absolutely bomb the test, for example you don't finish one and a half games and guess randomly on a whole passage in RC, there isn't much reason to cancel. If you get a 165 they are hardly going to throw out a 171. Ev…

I agree with @"Law and Yoda", who as usual has good advice. I haven't been burned out by LSAT studying, but after the October test I took time away from studying to work on applications. Man, that process took longer and was way harder than I thou…
-
@sharinsa I don't know for sure, I imagine it depends on how many test takers there are and what percentage submitted writing samples, but my first take was in October and I took the writing later than I probably should have. I got my results 4-5 d…

@hopefulling @cmoren21 With that said, many people don't necessarily change how they prepare between exams and often take subsequent exams. Don't let what is true about most LSAT takers cause you any anxiety, the tools and community at 7sage defini…

@canihazJD With the dedication, focus, and helpfulness you have displayed during your preparation on these forums I am confident you will impress someone when they get your application and/or interview you. Looking forward to the score report rele…

@"Madam TA" if you log into LSAC and click on the "Credentials and CAS" tab you will see an option to "Manage LORs." Click on that and scroll down. You will see every school you have started and completed an application to. One of the headings is…

@ColinTurner610 I think you have already gotten good advice about how to study and prepare, so I will skip that, but I just want to provide some encouragement for your journey. I think it is great that you are at a point of being utterly okay with …

Great perspective @"Aristotle Jones" I wish you the best!
-
Thanks for your advice everyone. @canihazJD As usual I can count on you to have the facts. I had no idea they see the last three writing samples. Given that, there is no reason at all to retake since I could only potentially increase the number o…

Congrats everyone

@2ndTimestheCharm I am happy to join in reading some of these books when I am done with the application process, and have settled what I am going to do about renewing my visa or moving to a new continent in March. Hopefully I can get an extension o…

Don't stress and know that you can do it. This test is absolutely learnable, and you will certainly be able to break into the 160's this year. You've got this!
-
Congrats, that is wonderful. I wish I was there, it would make figuring out whether to extend my visa here or not a lot easier. Good luck in the fall!
-
@LSATbekee I second @RazorSharpBanana Ranking isn't everything and there are many legal careers where you can be successful from lower ranked schools but you definitely don't want to pay for them. Get your score up if you can to make yourself more …
-
You could probably apply for accommodations, though you'll need to check what qualifies according to LSAC and of course your doctor would need to approve. I would guess though that clinically recognized and medicated Generalized Anxiety Disorder ma…

I don't have information on this, but checking the deadlines for scholarship applications or when the scholarships are awarded will give a lot of clues. I would also think that you are better off worrying about securing admission first and then the…
-
I will echo what was said. Some schools avoid tapping into their scholarship funds too heavily before they know what kind of applicant pool they will have in a given year in the first place, which doesn't usually take shape until the winter months.…

@whatsmyname What a good goal is really depends on your score goals and where you are with your other sections.
-
I think that many people feel this way with recorded video interviews and perform this way. Don't stress it too much. For one thing, nothing to do about it, but for another, you are definitely not alone in this. I have never met someone that did …
-
@whatsmyname Definitely don't stress, even if you have been consistently having trouble with the newer games you'll learn and master them the same way you did the old. No worries. Hang in there.
-
@karko2525 Yeah, I think I may have to do that when they open back up if I haven't heard anything.
-
@karko2525 How long did it take you to get the interview link from Northwestern? It might be because I submitted over the holidays but I still haven't gotten any communication from them since I submitted my app.

@ianmorrison1904 It is definitely possible. The lower the diagnostic the more room for improvement. LG games especially are easily improvable and a 137 should leave you plenty of room for improvement in LR as well. Just doing the curriculum on 7…

@asdf12345 Congrats! That is great. It is a hard plateau to break.
-
@shannon_beaman1 I agree with everything @canihazJD said. Definitely take him up on that offer first.

If you do choose to put your GPA on your resume, I would put the school's GPA. CAS GPA is only relevant for law school and when you write your resume you list the education you received and the institutions you attended and what you did there. Many…
-
To clarify, I don't mean question types or anything like that. Some people swallow the 7Sage curriculum whole and have a great grasp of how to diagram conditionals and things. That was never me, but I have an excellent understanding of language as …
-
I think you definitely have room to improve. What do you think you are strong on? What enables you to score in the mid-160's? Finding out why you are doing well and how you can make those strengths work harder for you is a good way to get a few mo…

This is indeed what has happened in the past. Be prepared, last time the international time slots were available from night to early morning East Asia Time. Here available times were between 5 PM and 7:40 AM.
