@dcdcdcdcdc said: First, I think you have to decide if you want to go to HLS. If you do and you have not signed some binding contract with your employer, then I would argue that those who are angered by or don't understand your decision to att…

@JustDoIt said: I have heard from several sources that it is more likely than not to negatively affect next years cycle if you turn a school down that you get into. I imagine this is true even more so for waitlists. I especially think this w…

I try to establish a sense of what it feels like to be, in my mind, 100% confident, with an obvious awareness that I may be wrong. For me, if I'm in my mind 100% correct, there's by definition no sense of looking at the other answer choices. The pro…

@JustDoIt Trololol Don't expect you'll fare poorly. You might as well not show up. Don't score-chase; that is, don't try to obtain a certain score. Each possible miss will pollute your mind throughout the test otherwise. Do your best as you always…

I think what @TheLSAT is trying to communicate is that, for the purpose of the LSAT (due to the specific language of LSAC), "exclusive or" will always lead to one or the other, when technically (and this part is outside of the LSAT), it may not. Ev…

Just so I understand, if you get into Harvard, you cannot leave your work? Or is it that you feel compelled to stay?

I suppose you could say Passage A is doing what's presented in "D," as a specific activity (insider trading) relates to trading in general (larger context). But I think Passage B is doing this, as well, where a specific activity (insider trading) r…

I see PM:TYD in everything. And this post to me stresses all the more to take your time with the curriculum. So many people worry that their pace is "too slow," when in reality, your pace needs to be determined (and I'd argue exclusively) by your l…

ohmygersh you used Paper Mario in your GIF! And the one from TYD, nonetheless!

Way to go! And thanks so much for posting!
-
I totally might, haha.

Great advice here, so I'm left with little left to say. That said, just remember that the logic inherent to the LSAT is akin to a language. This test isn't like any other aptitude test where you more or less have an arguably more predetermined ceili…

@TheoryandPractice said: My theory is that the passages are not necessarily harder but the questions are. The answers are more subtle and require more in-depth understanding of the passage as a whole. Inference Qs are particularly tougher as w…

@LSATman1 provides some very important questions. Your GPA probably won't demonstrably improve over one semester, even if you receive all A's for that semester. I'm sure you could do the math to find out. Are you planning on maximizing your potenti…

Have you tried leveraging these schools off of one another? I imagine you could get more money from at least one of these schools. Way to have those options though!
-
Cool idea!

I'll be dealing with this question at a panel at my former alma mater, and I expect to be met with criticism. I think three months seems like a lot to most anyway, so to say you need more time to reach your potential is just straight-up whacky in so…

@dennisgerrard literally on whatever you want, regarding the LSAT, of course. It can be on specific questions, general strategies, general application/goal-setting advice, et cetera. That being said, we often go off topic when all LSAT questions hav…

Softs can help build reliable intuitions from admissions officers. Numbers are king, for sure, but there's no doubt that softs (I suppose I would include your statements) make a difference - at least I have seen this in my personal application proce…

That's incredible! Well done!
-
I really don't know, but I would imagine your chances are about the same if their medians are the same. In the end, being more selective only means much of anything (at least, when considering the applicant pool as a whole) if the medians are up. Ot…

Wow

I honestly don't know. And those are two entirely different things, but I personally think a fantastic PS would carry more weight than the absence of volunteer work on a resume. I could be wrong, however. It also depends on the applicant. If your jo…

Good question. Mark Jefferson from Michigan's admissions told me, "If you're the kid who's willing to share the toys in the sandbox, you'll do well here. If you're the kid who wants to hog all of the toys, we're going to have a problem." Granted, t…

The video posted above was actually what piqued my interest for UVA. First of all, a 3.5 GPA and 170 LSAT would put you at 50/50, at best, in my opinion. But I don't have much evidence to support that. UVA is my top choice and is really the only s…

Update the T-14 schools with your udpate to see if they'll move now in light of your situation.
-
That's true, though some schools ask/require LORs from work if you've been away for 2+ years. So while you should probably only use academic LORs for most schools, you'll need the work one for a few others.

@joseph_cheung what are your issues with RC? A high RC variance is exceptionally common, since takers typically don't have many concrete strategies for the section. Likely, your issues stem from how you're reading the passage and/or your approach t…
