@"Seeking Perfection" so I plugged in my test date into the 7sage study schedule. If I follow the schedule they give me exactly, I'll be doing on avg 15 hrs a week on the curriculum until March when it gets to the PrepTest part of the cc.
I was pl…
I found a small local prep course taught by an attorney who went to a t5 school with great reviews (students going from 150 to 170+). Starts in early spring. I think until then I’m gonna focus on LGs and if I master it I’ll go on to LR. I think my p…

That's not a totally awful idea, but you may be able to derive more benefit from a tutor than a prep course if you're struggling to grasp the subtleties of the test.
What do you consider the 'basics' of the LSAT, if yo…
I used the format of resume from my friend who went to UC Davis. The last couple lines of his/my resume says (title) Skills & Interests:
(Bullet point1) Languages:
(Bullet point2) Interests:
I recommend you do something similar. It can do n…
@"Alex Divine" on their site it says their merit schollys range from $10,000 to $35,000 per year.
I was really banking on getting at least 20k
How much more do schools even give out would it be too much to ask for 20k if all they’re willing to gi…
I feel like a lot of these answers are catered to people who got like a 168+ on the LSAT lol but I'll just stick to CA schools since I want to work in CA. Looking into ABA 509 stats on Boston U, Washington U, Fordham...huge majority of students end …

Hit insert page number on the header so that each page has its own page number...as you would in your high school and college papers...
@"Leah M B" I have the same attitude. Although i’m not looking into PI. I want a t50 with a lot of merit$ in an area I want to live and continue to work in the future. With my bachelor’s in philosophy, there’s not much I can do but get teaching cred…
@"Alex Divine" there was a thread on TLS about UC hasting’s awful bar passage rate making it difficult to really understand the employment %. i.e. if only 50% of the students pass the bar...and 50% of the students are hired as attorneys...
I really…
This could be really controversial so I'm not sure. I think if you were to go with that topic, it would be important to show the adversity you had to overcome in denouncing your faith. i.e. being shunned by friends and family. Try to steer clear of …

A lot of my friends have just changed their social media names to really absurd things so they don't show up when you look them up (i.e. everything they've ever been tagged in will now have a different name tagged). I'm not su…
I deactivated my facebook & searched myself on google and pipl.com to see if any random profiles exist out there and deleted all my random blank pages which I logged on to once and never used. I even went so far as to ask someone on tumblr to de…
I strongly suggest not letting your parents guide your admissions process in any way unless they themselves recently went to law school. If you asked your attorney for an LOR she/he would say no that is not appropriate. If you go onto any admissions…
One school asked qs about the gender I was assigned at birth and the gender I identify with now....how many of my friends dropped out of high school...the highest level of education my parents have...I highly doubt these are relevant in identifying …
I wouldn’t mention it for either. A lot of people switch majors. Even taking 4 classes is still a full time course load so there’s no need to mention it. My course load varied bc I took summer and winter intesession classes so I had room to take a l…
I was a Phil major with all As and one B+ in my major at a UC school. It didn't help me at all on the LSAT other than the fact that I'm able to read quickly (doesnt mean i'm retaining all info). Having an extra minute to pee at the end of one sectio…

I don't see a problem with using any word that captures what you intend to convey. Rather, I think an appropriate question to ask yourself might be: why am I writing about rigmarole in my personal statement? Is this perti…
@LSATcantwin right but the classes are over in May and I would hope I would be accepted somewhere by then. Is there a space to indicate that I have some classes in progress or something like that. I don’t want my application messed up bc I didn’t li…
