Thanks for looking out!

@"Taha Jomha" I also work and found that I could not do more than one whole test a week but I could do individual sections. While there is something to be said for practicing the test in its entirety, if you do not have the time to take more than o…

@"LOWERCASE EVERYTHING" makes an important point that I don't think can be underestimated. The repeated violation is the bigger issue and will require a very good addenda to address. It sounds like you did not face any criminal charges, which is f…

By 15ish percent I am referring to an additional 3-4 wrong questions out of 25ish questions.

This is just more practice and more improvement. It is not unusual to have a gap in timed and untimed. Even at the highest levels it is there. When I was averaging mid 170' on PTs I was routinely scoring 180's in BR. Sometimes a little bit more …

This was a great reminder that I need to think about filing my Fafsa.

@karko2525 You are very welcome and please do share anything you learn. @LSATcantwin I really wondered how much of that collegiality talk was lip service in the competitive urban environment of Chicago, but I keep hearing the same thing from studen…

I don't think so. First of all, the admissions stats at Vandy are not as closely linked to interviews as at Northwestern because they stop scheduling interviews after November 15th or something. While interviewing with them would be enormously hel…

I do not unfortunately. I am going to be spending some time researching best practices for interviews once I get all my apps in. I know I will be interviewing with NU and WashU, hopefully I get some requests for other schools. I think there is a …

It is going to be in your best interest to participate in interview opportunities when you have them.

@poornima Given that you have just arrived and are seeking to learn from the experiences from others I think you are exactly the sort of person that will get a lot out of your 7sage journey. The best part of 7sage is how many people are here who wa…

I do not know for sure but I imagine they will take the number. If it is already in a GPA calculation no need to recalculate. Maybe there are some alumni from a similar schools hanging around.
-
Law schools practice rolling admission. If you are not a slam dunk accept (and even if you are sometimes) you are going to have a harder time after December getting in. 7sage had a predictor that shows you your odds in a given month. Applying in …

@ddeng888 Looking at that link you posted all is see is number of applications being up. That would support @lilpingling 's comment, which I will also echo. If more people are taking the LSAT and the LSAT is shorter so that each question is worth …

@Christopherr Congrats man, that is wonderful I am very glad you got that goal score after all your effort. I want to let you know that seeing the work you do on here to help others has inspired me to do the same once I am finally done with essays …

Coming from NC, I can tell you that if you look at top politicians/judges/lawyers in the state it is not Duke that dominates positions but UNC. They're only a few miles apart right in the middle of the state. If you do not mind being in the region …

You can certainly still apply this year but I do not thing, URM or no, that you are getting any scholarships at T14 with those numbers unless you have some out of this world crazy softs. You can certainly still apply but I don't think you have a g…

I do not have an interview at UChicago but I am interested in interview prep in general so following.
-
Congrats! It is definitely possible for non-natives to get those top scores. A non-native friend of mine recently got a 180. Don't let anyone tell you it isn't possible.
-
It really depends on what schools and what scholarships you are looking for. 26 is not too late though, neither is 27. I just turned 35 and I am applying now. I am also hardly the oldest applying this cycle from the 7 sage boards. Law schools re…
-
You are certainly welcome.
-
Just to chime in about being older and applying, 24 or 25 is a great age to apply, and though it probably does not qualify as non-traditional. Schools definitely prefer applicants that have at least a couple years of work experience and you are not…
-
I think many schools want an addendum for any increase of 6+ points if people are looking for a solid number.
-
@legallytired I don't know if this answers the question but I do not think, regardless of where your score falls, that you write an addendum for an LSAT score unless there is some unusual circumstance that requires explanation. Examples might be th…
-
Is it a timing issue or are you getting them wrong in BR as well?
-
At that range an extra point or two in January could make a big difference # 27 UNC and Iowa both have a median LSAT of 161, but you are already between their 25th and 50th now (158 and 156). That may change at UNC given that scores/applications ar…
-
I concur with what others have said. I also may be mistaken, but aside from the top couple of programs I think most Canadian schools are less focused on the LSAT needing to be extremely high. A 158 is around the 80th percentile already, so it isn'…
