I think this depends on which optional essays you're talking about. On schools that (seem) to engage in yield protection, I would suspect "why x" essays would be more important. Is the Yale 250 optional?--if it is, anyways, I would do that if you're…

I have some of my graduate talks and commentaries on my resume. The only difficult thing is finding a balance between including that stuff and not running over two pages. If you're running over that, I perhaps would think about prioritizing in terms…

Big things! Doesn't it feel so good to have it behind you forever and with no reservations? Enjoy the holidays and your accomplishment--A.c.S

The fuck...this is awesome! What a great achievement. Big ups!!! Enjoy the holidays with your score and, far more importantly, your family--A.c.S

Big things! Many congrats on the improvement!!--A.c.S

Congrats on the gift! Now you can celebrate in style--A.c.S

You should look at myLSN and also provide more info about potential softs, so that ppl can give you more accurate advice.--A.c.S

Big, big ups, man!!! So great to hear that the hard work translated into results--A.c.S

Good luck to everyone!

@"Leah M B" said: My thinking is the same as many others on this thread; yes and no. I can’t stand TLS for the snark and condescension. I don’t fully agree with them, but there is some truth to this concept. I would say, don’t go to any non-T1…

Take them seriously. The elitism is terrible, but the underlying rationale should strike you as important: you don't want to be racked with debt and have a difficult time finding a job in the field that you racked up that debt for. I think it is cau…

I draw a three item sequence and circle it. After practice you get used to distinguishing this from a three item block. It's just a quicker notating method after a while.

There are two additional things we should bear in mind here: (1) The "extra-study" hypothesis about accommodated test takers has to be a bit sophisticated given that (a) there is a difference between retake scores between the non-accommodated popul…

The fact that this even matters is depressing.

I think of it as kinda like just having a dating website profile after you've already started dating someone. Almost inevitably, you're tempted to check it every now and again if you just let it sit; if you delete it, however, the temptation is much…

Been off fb for almost a full year now, and it's been good. It's just that it seems like such a shitty thing to do on the part of evaluaters given that fb plays multiple roles for ppl that aren't professional. It fosters and sustains this pc/puritan…

Of course, accommodated test takers are a population that probably has distinctive properties as compared to the non-accommodated test taking population. It is reasonable to suppose that, on average, these folks prepare more than others. However, th…

Yeah, I can send it to you now. Cheers

I would just say that there is a major difference between this and the voter fraud analogy: the payoff distributions are totally different. I can see why someone might be more incentivized to lie about accommodations, but I'm unsure why anyone would…

I'm on board with what has been said. Though you studied a significant amount of time, it's nowhere near the high end. You should take it easy on yourself and remember that. Good luck!---A.c.S

Cool, cool. Just sent it to you.--A.c.S

Are ppl still swapping???

Yeah; I mean, I think knowledge of propositional logic (i.e., 0-order logic) might help but really the benefits of formal logic are probably more indirect than anything with respect to the LSAT. Of course, the contrapositive is second nature if you'…

Big ups!!!!

@"Seeking Perfection" , yes, I had the same response to the quoted percentage: not quite that high, but still significant. As for reasons, there can only be speculation about multiple causes. I've found it curious because the increase in scorers of…

@"Paul Caint" Why would there be any strategic implications?--If I were either a splitter or a reverse splitter with respect to these schools I would still apply to both. Were you referring to expectations that either camp should have with applying …
-
Ah, yeah. I would say that canceling is more reasonable then. The only thing that I would add is to make sure that you sign up for either the June/Sept administrations (I'm not sure how they are going to change these going forward, so I'm assuming t…

Why would first gens tend to be splitters and not reverse splitters? It seems that there are more URMs that are reverse splitters than there are URM splitters, so I'm curious about the first-gen case. Did you have any evidence, or was it just a hunc…

How imperative is it that you apply this cycle?
