Curious as to why you would ED if, and let’s assume when, you make significant strides in your LSAT score. My curiosity issues from my understanding—potentially false—that you should not ED at schools if you’re at or above both 75ths. Perhaps, in s…

Not sure the value of this data point, but I had a 3.7 and 175 and did not get into Yale this past cycle (I’m also first-gen and was finishing up my PhD if that helps; the latter soft doesn’t seem to matter as much as the first). So it’s not a shoe …

Big ups! That’s an amazing jump!!!

Prepare as if you’re taking in sept. either way. I think ppl have the tendency to push back but then really slack in the meantime and so wind up in the same situation as they found themselves in to start. This is a bromide, but really be vigilant of…

Good luck!!!

Ha @"Paul Caint" ... not sure if I’ll ever make it there, but I feel a little better knowing that you’ll make it to the promise land. Really great accomplishment, no doubt!

Props, man!

Just saw this scrolling through: this awesome! Big, big ups on this one!

This matter is complicated—a bit— by the fact that “not all” and “some” don’t mean exactly the same thing within classic first order logic: the latter requires that the “restrictor” of the quantified (i.e. “skilled artists”) be non-empty, whereas th…

@"Paul Caint" sorry, didn’t see this before. I haven’t really been on lately. To answer your question: I honestly don’t know. I don’t think the interview went terribly, but I can’t see it “from the outside”. I definitely could interview better beca…

Big, big ups! Not sure if it’s trolling, but who cares about the URM thing—really not the point of this at all, and the story, I’m sure, generalizes. Enjoy tha’ Chi

It sounds like you, for various reasons, have been forced into taking official tests without adequate preparation time. It increases anxiety and ensured that your scores weren’t huge improvements on one another. So I up the accommodations rec, but I…

@"Paul Caint" said: @"Seeking Perfection" Ya I'd agree. The area around UChicago has a relatively low cost of housing/living (but it's also a high crime area), but Northwestern is in Evanston which is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo expensi…

First: I’m really sorry to hear that you’re in this jam, but glad to hear that all is not lost. To throw my two cents in: I agree with many of the sentiments above, although I would give you a bit more charity in the claim that you “must” attend. I…

@LSATcantwin said: U.Penn wait-list Now I’m: 0 - 6 - 4(5) on apps Really sorry to hear this—but as @"Seeking Perfection" said, a couple of the WLs just have to pan out, no? I just have to believe that; pulling for you over here!

Your intuitions are right on this one.
-
This is great stuff. Would definitely use it (especially the focus on the why-questions which I think I could flesh out more) if I had the opportunity to interview. Glad you did ur thing with it though, and congrats again on admission!
-
What section(s) is it? Also, what’s your drilling technique(s) for that section? Also (again), do you employ a skipping strategy?
-
A big thank you to all who’ve thrown in their two cents thus far—I’m sorry I couldn’t get back and say so earlier because I’ve been traveling.> @Gladiator_2017 said: Sorry to hear about the Harvard decision. I'm all anxious about this cycle a…

@LSATcantwin said: Brother, it's this cycle...it's brutal. Don't blame yourself, it is clear that you are 100% worthy of Harvard. The issue this cycle is so are 1,000 other people. I would blame your result on timing of the application more so…

@lsatplaylist said: Plenty of well-qualified lawyers didn't go to HLS. It's disappointing to be rejected, I'm sure, but I don't think it's going to have much, if any impact on your other apps. Of course, I’m not a “prestige ape.” At this poi…

I do, but I didn’t use it for the LSAT—just generally in life. I suppose, though, that it could be especially helpful in the final three weeks of studying. And it does, but more than that, it helps with taking a different attitude towards otherwise…
-
Many congrats on that! Great news!!!!

I was pretty good on the RC, but hated studying for it because I found a lot of passages boring (how many times can lichens come up?), but I think that there was a fractals passage I remember being particularly annoyed with.—I knew what fractals wer…
-
Yeah, it does seem to have that implication. Namely, for all C such that there exists an A which is C, then C=B. This would actually give rise to the inference, though, that A=B. Strange. To the extent that this construction is has a welformed Engli…

@westcoastbestcoast said: How long did you study? I would say retake. The law schools that accept a 140s score arent worth attending I would disagree in this case with this particular statement, as I know of two successful alum of Depaul spe…
