@katherine-8 if I can connect I'll let you know... but if I were you, in addition to the above advice, I'd just ask UVA.

@1230_sunny said: I thought positive is slightly different from 'sure' as 'sure' equates 'must' whereas 'positive' means having some degree of certainty, which isn't must. I think I went too far! Thanks for comment:) I don't think I'd agree,…

What exactly do you think the risk is in retaking? Schools see you as your highest score. It is against their interests to do otherwise. IMO if you are sub median GPA, you want to be comfortably above median LSAT. For a T14 that means as high a scor…

I think it would help you, and encourage others to respond, if you included your own explanation of the stimulus and reasoning for picking A.

What kind of struggles? The process would be the same as LR.

This one was best done via conditional logic mapping, which would have produced: A (some) B → C A (some) C Then you just match the AC to that structure. What's the difference in your mind between we can be positive, we can be sure, and we can …

Re: RC Practice active/critical/whatever you want to call it reading. Read, stop, paraphrase/explain inferences, repeat throughout the passage. Sum up every paragraph in high and low resolution, and again at the end for the whole passage. This help…

It's definitely productive, but I never did because I knew I was going to drill the game into the ground anyway. I don't think it negatively affected my progress.

7sage uses the original, as-released, sequence of sections, whereas lawhub puts them all in the same order (AR, LR, LR, RC).

Scott Jones used to be a 7sage consultant and is a UVA law grad, former app reader for UVA admissions, and current UVA med student. I don't know he'd want his contact info shared but if you can track him down via LinkedIn or something, he would be t…

Davis has slightly better numbers, but short of a personal reason to favor one over the other (like area), I'd think it would come down to financial aid. That said, you're not even accepted to both yet. If you favor UCD, wait until the deadline to d…

Saying no correlation between bacteria and kidney disease does not affect the relationship between the bacteria and ulcers. Even if kidney disease caused ulcers that doesn't mean bacteria doesn't. Furthermore the lack of correlation doesn't "rule o…

In addition to ↑, which T14?

LSAC has begun research and development into alternative ways to assess analytical reasoning skills, as part of a broader review of all question types to determine how the fundamental skills for success in law school can be reliably assessed in w…

No administration is objectively harder than another. But, I agree with the previous response. There is little to no reason for you to apply now. I could see applying if you were well above a school's medians, only wanted to go to said school, and d…

@LaFranca said: @canihazJD thanks for the response. I put a post on Reddit and TLS as well. Do you know anybody in the 7sage community that is or was in a simialar situation as me that I might be able to reach out to? I do not... as its a ve…

Not a transfer but I can tell you that grades, to a large degree, are a crapshoot. You will be entering an environment where everyone is smart, with graders that are incredibly subjective and inconsistent between classes. Necessarily, most students …

Broadly, you know what you dont know... which is good. Much better than confidently answering wrong. Now use your review to identify exactly what the issues are and form a plan of attack to address them.
-
You can reach out to schools to ask if they can expedite review, but that doesn't mean they'll do it. Part of the game, unfortunately, is sometimes having to drop deposits you may ultimately lose.

Concur with Josh... all relationships are complex. What your tutor has seen good results with won't necessarily work for you. I think diversity of perspective is valuable. You never know when just hearing something a slightly different way will make…

SuperPrep A is the Feb 1996 disclosed test.

Many plateaus can be attributed to the focus and results of review. Your review is the act of translating your performance in to an actionable plan to improve. Uncovering errors and weaknesses and devising ways to eliminate them. Then actually doing…

I'm at Cornell and our class median age is 23, ranging from 20 to 41. Each section probably has 2-3 people over 30. For admissions, I don't think age is as significant a factor as stats and experience.

I mean always follow the schools instructions. If HLS caps you at three I wouldn't go slinging apps at them hoping to miracle yourself in. If your app is strong besides the LSAT score, I guess my question is why not just improve your score and make …

I would like to ask whether it makes sense now to apply to the Law Schools I planned to (these are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, University of Chicago - no other schools, for personal reasons). People get into school below median every yea…

Let your scoring determine when you test. There is very little, if anything to be gained by taking the test just for the experience.

I've found these things to be consistently effective: In-depth written review of your PTs. With the goal of identifying weaknesses and outputting an actionable plan to improve. Then execute the plan. Focus on timing strategies. Find your wasted ti…

@moonstars5678 I'll try to make your M&M analogy better... Imagine a standard jar of M&Ms with equally distributed colors that you just grab into blindly trying to get as many blues as possible. You get 10. Now imagine another jar but now …

Just email them and ask for a fee waiver. Many of them have stopped sending waivers based on CRS data by now.
