Yeah, it is set up that way because it is the best method for most people. If you do not have a solid understanding of what questions are asking to you do or why they are written a certain way it is hard to even understand why you got things wrong.…

Keep going. You have already shown you have the determination and will to make your goal a reality, and your improvement thus far is remarkable. Keep at it.

I definitely agree with what was said about the first two points. Regarding the last point, the Dean of Admissions at Michigan discussed this recently. She feels strongly that if you are part of any society and it is not obvious what that society …

Congrats, that is awesome
-
I took it in October, probably a busier test date because they had domestic and international applicants testing, and got it back in a week, 5 business days.

I think it is fine to write your PS about it. You won't have the job when you go to law school anyway. I would say though that if you submit your applications after quitting and write your PS about the job make sure it is clear that you left it an…

I would also suggest including it unless you have a very long relevant work history. Financial knowledge is very relevant to law and it sounds like a valuable industry related certification. Unless you have so many other important things to put on…

This is really cool. I don't think I will be able to drop in, but love that you are doing this @Christopherr and @DINOSAUR
-
I think the problem is many people do not do problem sets under timed conditions. They would not want your performance to be inflated and you have an unrealistic expectation of your abilities. However, I think they could create a system where you …

@jseigel94 Congrats! That is wonderful! Now go get those admissions!
-
@gulfamhdhillon Congrats, that is wonderful. Glad things worked out for you. It is a great program, I will be applying there myself.

The rush is taking when she has time to prepare I think. When would you be job start? Would you put off law school for three years while you moved up? I'm leaning towards saying take in January but if you're going to be in the middle of a stressf…

To echo weed @"LOWERCASE EVERYTHING" said, if you're above the LSAT median at all you're going to be a very strong applicant. A single point above the LSAT matters more than .05 GPA. Part of the reason for this is I don't think it's a big deal for…

@"Martin. T" I hope everything went well for you. Good luck!
-
@"Granger Danger" A lot of schools do have support for anyone interested in public interest of one kind or another, I think the easiest way to check is to narrow down the field to the caliber or location or whatever of schools you might be interest…
-
@T14plssss Agreed, though there is much to be said for applying ED at schools with guaranteed scholarships. I think this whole thing is very subjective to a person's individual circumstances, desires, and goals. @tringo335 I just realized you also…
-
Genuinely hoping you did well. Don't stress too much waiting on that score.
-
@cpeaks13 I did mostly all Flexes because doing full 4 section tests is just too hard usually working full time. I would do the second LR section and then BR it the same day on Monday. Tuesday I would take the 3 section Flex, Wednesday I would BR …
-
@"Hans Zimmer" don't stress too much. Studying for the LSAT is definitely doable while working full time. I and many others have done it. Make sure you have a weekly schedule, maybe get some BR buddies that will stick to the schedule and force yo…
-
The difficulty will certainly affect the scaled score somewhat, but usually the tests mostly balance out so that effect is limited outside the extremes I think. I felt the October test was pretty easy too, but the scaled score at 70 was still in th…
-
I am going to point out for anyone seeing the above comments that applying to 20 is very unusual and not financially realistic for most people. Apply where you want to go. If you have infinite resources and time apply to more, but for many of us b…
-
@tringo335 I don't think there is a magic number you should apply to if you are only interested in 5. There is an argument to make to apply to similarly ranked schools you aren't interested in so that you can maybe better negotiate scholarships, bu…

You don't forget really. You can work on a LG game a day as you do LR just to keep it fresh. At some point though you should fool proof LG until you go -1 or -0 most of the time. That might take a few weeks but it's worth it
-
I think that accommodations would be a big help for you. I also think it's going to be a better idea to focus on where you are weaker rather than RC. LR and LG are much easier to improve than RC. It's very difficult to substantially change your R…
-
I do not know this for sure but I strongly suspect they do not have any access to that information as they are a separate school within the university.
-
I took in October but I got the nerves and surreal experience. It was really hard to even remember any of the LR section after. I don't know if it helps but after feeling that way I scored 3 points below my average, 2 more questions than I usually…
-
@danakila I am not an expert in this but I think that Iowa has an absolutely excellent reputation. There might be better options near DC but they would not come with some of the great things about Iowa. If you want to work federal jobs DC is a bet…
-
Same. I am taking a break from LSAT studying to apply. I scored lower than I liked and am retaking for better scholarship consideration in Jan but focused on apps for now. Studying for the LSAT was so much easier and more enjoyable than applicati…
-
I think we need more information to know whether you should apply this year or not. You alluded to having a poor GPA. If you GPA and LSAT are below median at a target school you are probably not getting in. Additionally, as others have pointed ou…

Also, January is a long way off. You can certainly improve considerably between now and then on the LSAT and become a much stronger applicant. Have you fool proofed LG yet? If not you should be able to improve there a good bit between now and Jan…
