I personally used 2 academic + 1 employment letter since schools let you send up to 3 or 4.

@BinghamtonDave said: I wanted to echo what others here have stated about the dearth of solid data for gre acceptances in law schools. One thing I wanted to ask those who might have experience with the gre, is it really that “easy”? I do…

If you could have the games in the 30s then the games in the 70s will be manageable. For what it's worth, the games in the 80s have been relatively easy.

@"Another Day" said: Hi... I need some help in depicting what went wrong. I started studying since mid-April with a 149 start. My first exam in July was a 155. I've been consistently PTing around 160-164. And my September exam w…

Check if your schools would even process your apps. A lot of schools wouldn't even review it if they know that you are signed up for a future LSAT date.

Retake. Obviously taking it 3+ times isn't ideal but at the end of the day only the highest score really matters. I think you should really re-evaluate your fundamentals. I would suggest looking at the LSAT Trainer or Manhattanprep series before dri…
-
Delay a year and study more for the best possible score. Your parents sound like the type that would shame you for not getting into top schools so, either way, whether you apply early with a bad score or delay with a better score, they'll be less th…

What was your section by section breakdown? Depending on how many questions you got wrong in LG, you can just fool-proof for a month and take the Nov test and apply this cycle. If you were already near perfect on LG then sit out this cycle and study…

I would say retake if Logic Games was holding you back. In one month, you can probably get close to -0 with the fool-proof method. Also mention your concussion in your addendum since that's a legitimate reason for your under-performance.
-
To answer your original question, do not retake. A higher score won't change your financial aid outcome. Since you're an international student, do you have a LSAC calculable GPA? If you do and it's near the ballpark of a school's medians, then I'll …

I was pretty nervous both times, but the guy next to me told me that nervousness and excitement are both coming from the same core emotion. It helped a little.

Strengthen and Weaken questions get unbelievably tough in the 70s+, so that's my vote. Every other type of question can be formulaic after a while but some of the credited answers for Strengthen questions are coming from out of left field lol
-
@BinghamtonDave said: @cqas190517 Thank you for the insight from the tour. I wanted to ask, the idea of more than 1 LSAT take not being a "good look" strikes me as odd, aren't schools only required to report the highest score? I wonder how t…
-
It's a bit difficult for me to be dead-set on one school since financial aid/scholarships matters so much for me yet they're much harder to predict than admission chances.
-
I ran into this problem after my first take. What ended up helping me a lot (and what you seem to plan to do anyway) was retaking PTs, it will really help you see things that you haven't before. I recommended it before, but I would also suggest tryi…
-
You should have a really good shot, better than 50/50 generally. The rankings actually only consider a school's medians and not its 25ths or 75ths so although schools publish those as well, they aren't as important as maintaining the medians. School…

@NotMyName yeah that's super strict....
-
@"Leah M B" Yeah LSAC seemed to have rejected people with incomes below $30k for fee waivers.

Yeah

1 page double spaced or less.

@sx23 I saw it when I opened the app, but I did not receive an email about it. @"Michaela.Pratt1" Yeahh more money saved!
-
Check your NYU apps, saw hidden waiver come through today
-
@Traianus Yeah from the sound of it you seem like a strong candidate so just apply broadly and you should get some good offers. Off the top of my head, Chicago, Penn, UVA, Berkeley, and Cornell likes the high GPA applicants. Penn is a good example o…
-
I personally don't feel nervous but I am quite often uncertain. I circle around 5 questions by the end of each section that I feel a bit uncertain about. Rarely do I feel like I destroyed a section when I finish and that feeling of uncertainty gets …
-
Median LSAT means that half the people in the class have below that score so why wouldn't you think someone with above the 75th GPA and 25th to 50th LSAT could be accepted lol
-
@tekken1225 @10000019 LSAC actually releases uGPA and LSAT scores from undegrads so you can check which schools are the most grade inflated. Princeton has a average of 166 LSAT and 3.55 GPA and Berkeley has a average of 159 LSAT and 3.55 GPA. Of not…

For the original question about undergrad prestige, Spivey mentioned it used to matter a lot more back then due to a lot more schools using faculty review but now mainly Yale uses it. Only time it seems to matter significantly is when you are applyi…

Work exp > grad school

Yeah your situation screams "retake." Many schools in the top 50 are splitter friendly so get that LSAT at 165+ and so many more doors will open up for you. Your strong work experience + a gpa addendum may even net you wash u at 169+ lsat. Don't giv…
