I used the “perfect score” watch. There was actually a picture of it on the poster board depicting acceptable items at my test center. The newest version (v5?) is a lil sketchy bc the watch hand falls out of place sometimes..but it seems to only hap…

@"Tatyana L." said: 7Sage has a calculator based on last year’s cycle of how likely you are to get in based on ED, gpa, lsat and month applied. If I raise my LSAT score by 7 points, my chances go to 50/50. Apparently it’s not as binary as “bel…

For some schools, the November lsat is the latest test with which you can apply ED. Make sure to notify the school and ask them to put your app on hold until you take November. Although, I’m not sure why you would retake if you’re at the 75th, nor w…

First of all you did a great job on the LSAT from just studying for a few months. I agree that you should print out employment stats (Aba and NALP data) and print out the LSAC chances of acceptance at a top school with your current lsat score vs. y…

their reply is going to be -- you can sign up for September 2019 in March 2019 or whatever the sign up date for the LSAT is. Just get request a refund for November if you still can.

4 times in a year? Either apply as is this cycle, or give yourself a few months off to regroup and figure out what you really want, and then take next September. You shouldn’t be taking the lsat so many times in a cycle unless ie you were sick the f…

Yeah you’re fine a lot of times people travel one country over bc their country doesn’t offer the lsat.
-
And to think you were considering cancelling!!! Congrats!
-
You don’t have to do anything. I wouldn’t bother notifying them. It doesn’t matter if your LOR is a year old and the dates don’t have to be the same on each of your LORs ie you could get an LOR from a professor your junior year of university and the…

Lol no you need a 185

That LR question about seeds being sifted and having to be exposed to 1 hour of sunlight and then sifted back under the soil still haunts me lol

I think once you get out of the t20 schools (arguably t12...) the ranking really doesn’t matter. Go wherever gives you the most scholarship $ or just retake so you have more options/get more $.

You should certainly mention this. Leftist activism would look great on a resume. You could prob write a personal or diversity statement on that if you don’t think you would be able to formally describe it on your resume. Not really sure why any law…

I think that could be briefly mentioned as something that inspired you to pursue volunteer work/your job and then the bulk of it could be about your volunteer work/your job. Or a publication or whatever. I think your PS needs to focus on you and som…

An admissions advisor gave you a tour? It wasn’t a student? They said the exact words “it’s not a good look”? Kind of hard for me to believe that an admissions advisor would say that in those words. Usually admissions advisors are kind of dodgy dire…
-
Ask for all of the recs and figure it out later as some professors/employers lag on responding. I agree that you just need 2 academic LORs unless you’ve been out of school for more than 2-3 yrs.

I don’t think A+s are given out in community college, or at least they weren’t in mine. And in my university, the criteria for an A+ was subjective. Few professors labeled anything 96% and up as an A+, most labeled 99% and up as A+, and many just di…
-
Yeah I’m not really sure about any of those either. It sounds like you did volunteer work and helped victims of domestic violence? Focus like 70% on that and maybe 15% on an intro describing what inspired you to start doing the volunteer work and th…

Hopefully i’ll be just about to turn 24 and i’ll have...6 years of work experience

They can tell if you change the margins and there is no reason to do so. Now is your chance to practice being an attorney and being concise and cut some of the fluff out of it. Last year I sent a 4 page PS. 3 page PS, 2 page PS, and 1 page PS to acc…

I wonder if it's ok to just write a generic PS and then a more specific Why X... I think it would be difficult to incorporate anything specific to the school in your PS without making it seem like a disjointed final paragraph or random sentences thr…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: @"surfy surf" Not that it helps, but I just had a similar experience yesterday during my last school tour before I submit apps. Good tour with a student, more pleased with the school than I thought I would be, but then a bl…

I would call admissions about #2. Maybe you can just write the years/months you worked there and write something vague about the nature of the job and note that it’s under an NDA so you can’t specify. It wouldn’t look good to leave a gap in your res…

I don’t think either of those prompts are specifically asking you to describe what appeals to you about either school. Both prompts seem to be asking - what will you contribute to law school. Your personal statement overall should be saying somethin…

I think Stratus counseling is another cheaper service which seems to be somewhat reputable. I haven’t used it, I just considered it as a more budget friendly option when I was looking into editing services.

I’m on a Mac so I convert my .pages to pdf as there are often formatting issues when I convert to word.
