Unfortunately, I am white, a second generation college student, and a completely traditional student. Not sure why being "white", "2nd generation" or "traditional" is that "unfortunate", even in the context of Law school applications, but let's…

Big ups that you were able to pull off a score 2 points higher than what you had been doing in PT! Finding a way to center yourself and reduce stress is very important--although, I just blanked out on test day and was on this weird anxious auto-pilo…

Why my post came up in this format, I have no idea...Does anyone?

Finally getting to this; so sorry for the delay! I suppose that I should preface my comments with some qualifications regarding what I'm going to say. (a) I don't claim that this approach will be the best for everyone. All, I can say is that it wor…

Haven't forgotten this!--Still putting something together; I expect that I'll post over the weekend. In the meantime, I hope that you all are enjoying your gains and hard work!--A.c.S

Foolproof and work on cutting down your LRs for the next month. Don't worry about RC until the last 3 weeks, since you can make up a lot of points in those sections. I would say that, round Mid-Nov. I could reasonably see you halving your LR scores …

Wait, you took a proctored exam in June, received a 170, and are still one point below the median for northwestern? I'm missing something... either their median went up, you don't mean official exam by "proctored" exam or something else...

Oh, ok. Well, I'll post something on some of these points as soon as I get in front of my computer and have time (which might not be until tomorrow since I have to prepare a lecture). In the meantime, don't get down though. I actually think that RC …

Can you discern some specific issue that you have with RC (e.g., timing)? If so, what is it (what are they)?

It's odd that, in giving a personal statement, one cannot be "personal." Personally:), I hate these sorts of denials of self; while they aren't asking you for a political essay, to state your motivations is really intrinsically important. I take it…

I took it that the question is whether or not one runs the risk of being so judged, not whether those judgements are actually warranted...yet some of the comments above seem to run those two things together. Also, maybe I don't know enough about th…

While I agree with the general sentiment of the advice given thus far, I wonder about the underlying assumption that you cannot move from 162 to 167 studying full-time in the almost two months you have left. What is the reason for this, especially i…

Best wishes!!! Hope you're better soon!

Stanford, but I'm trying to decide which other schools to apply to (and I'm really open to some others though I haven't decided). One of the main reasons for Stanford is that I'm already getting my Ph.D here.

@"Alex Divine" That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the next line after...:) Also, regardless of your stance on any kind of AA--esp. race based AA within the US--it is curious that the failure of minority status to "bump" you is perceived…
-
I'm thinking that perhaps that LR was the experimental, which would complicate your situation even more--in terms of what to do going forward:/

@uhinberg said: @LSATcantwin said: > the less you can miss for a 170, the less you can miss for any score Not necessarily true. You can have differences in the amount of misses to get 170 between two tests, …

Glad it helped. You shouldn't confuse the domain of discourse with the notion of a universal set though. It might be that the domain of discourse only contains ordinary objects and not sets, sets of sets, and so on. So, there is no need to worry abo…
-
Just briefly scanned this, but doesn't the argue form assume that the C's constitute a non-trivial partition of the domain? Of course, if the complement set of (the set of C's) is empty, then you could have the situation that you seem to be hitting …

@"vanessa fisher" said: @acsimon As soon as I reached game 4, I saw right away which method was best and I felt I did really well on the games (usually my weakest section and had 5 minutes to spare at the end). So thank you! You're very welc…

@bsemb001 said: I split it into 2 possibilities. That game wasn't all that bad to me. The one that made me really angry was the theater game. I ended up guessing on the last two questions because I was out of time. Hmm... we're u a…

If I remember right--and these games kinda just all run together at this point--that particular sequencing game had too many possibilities to usefully split (and have it be worth the time). But, then again, I might not be remembering that particular…

I was sorry to find this in the message board earlier. I wrote this morning, was blank beforehand, but then sped through most of the sections so quickly that I wondered if I was trippin'. Seeing this, though, sucked because I know that you are a hig…

I should also mention that you don't have to be a memory master/giant to benefit from this. I, myself, had a hemorrhage about ten years ago which has affected some aspects of my memory (so hard for me to remember the lyrics to rap songs after a few …

I think you also have to present some form of photo ID--again, not fool-proof, but what is (besides, LG practice, of course). As to your other questions: I would be surprised if LSAC were progressive enough to make accommodations for our trans brot…

I've seen these questions often arise on the threads (in regards to RC). I've been meaning to write up a more thorough strategy guide for the RC, but have too much on my plate right now (as I'm sure most of you do). In lieu of that, let me chime in…
-
Just thinking, there are two other considerations to keep in mind here. One is whether the game pieces can double up (or more) within a category (which calls for a regular grouping game set up) and also whether the groups are limited in the amount o…
-
As you've said, the heuristic is usually helpful but not always. I usually consider games with repeats where there's more than 3-4 group categories as apt for a chart. For instance, if 5 or 6 repair people can either be certified in repairing a vcr…

I feel you, but I don't think that it will much matter whether you have one or the other. I would say that, had you been more prepared with the 7sage materials that you should plan on taking the examine on Sat AND in December. That way, this test wi…
