@AngusMcGillis Yeah you make a good point, in this particular question the "many" isn't being exactly treated the same as the answer choice C. However the way I read the logic of the first sentence of the stimulus and answer choices C and D is that …
-
Yep, it's a bit counter-intuitive but @"surfy surf" is correct.
-
@AngusMcGillis yeah in real life "many" would mean more than two generally. Unfortunately in the lsat world, you can have 2 too many.
-
Hi @username_hello this is a case where the question states "most similar." I agree the structure is close but answer choice D is almost word for word the same as the stimulus (albeit with subject change). Answer choice C would work if D didn't exis…

@Giselle112 I have a similar issue with the amount of part-time jobs. From what I've seen, it's school specific and schools generally list what they want in the app. For example Berkeley's stated to list all jobs after High School and that seems to …

@marie3lise Since you're retaking either way in November, just keep it. It definitely sounds like there is a possibility of a higher score than June so it will be in your favor to keep it and then submitting an LSAT addendum. You also don't know if …

@mew41195 I also didn't get it from Cornell/Georgetown and Berkeley took away the waiver they gave me so I am a bit salty too lol

U Chicago fee waiver via email!

Well it certainly makes you wonder how insanely rare their softs must be. There are plenty of applicants with very strong softs that are routinely rejected each year with much higher numbers. I would imagine it is probably an Olympian or Nobel Prize…

@tekken1225 you can go on the LSAT analytics tab from the Resources drop down box to see what each section's difficulty is on any given test. But yes, as far as the recent tests go, I noticed that there has been a trend of one LR section being reall…
-
@sx23 Yeah I'm starting to think it might have an error for that Berkeley waiver as well and they decided to correct that mistake since they also claim to not give merit waivers.
-
@sx23 I was looking through LSN and last year people received Penn, Chicago, and NYU as soon as 9/7, but not sure about Columbia. However, some other forums confirmed Columbia waivers in LSAC page last week despite them all being below both medians?…
-
@sx23 @ChaimtheGreat Thanks for the confirmation, I thought it was a little weird. Still nothing from NYU, Penn, Columbia, and Chicago as well.
-
Just wanted to let people know that I originally saw my Berkeley app as waived on LSAC (no email) but when I checked again today the $75 appeared again. So I guess I got unwaived? Anyone else notice the same issue?
-
I read this from a former T-14 adcomm who said that some schools use it for statistical purposes and other schools use it for yield protection. His advice was to just make sure that the school in question isn't the lowest ranked school you list, if …
-
I usually have no more than 0-2 point gaps in my actual scores and BR scores. Usually the points people gain in BR are from logic games since that's the section where anyone can get -0 with enough time to bruteforce. If you have a 8-10 point gaps I'…
-
@Bamboosprout Oh thanks for clarifying! I thought you were saying both Chicago and Penn were your second dream schools for some reason lol. It looks like either way you won't be qualifying for much merit aid being admitted ED or RD, so I would actua…
-
Eh I don't think you have burnout. That last game is legitimately hard. Plus, it was your third time taking it so I'm sure something just clicked then.
-
I recommend everyone in school, esp with demanding academic schedules, to study after they graduate and work. Your main focus should be maintaining your GPA.
-
This is like the perfect example of the 0.0001% of the time where a cancellation is justified.
-
I am assuming this is Columbia's ED program? @Bamboosprout if completing an additional app will not take significantly more time then by all means you should apply for your reaches just so that you won't have regrets. However, if the application fee…
-
@"Lucas Carter" is correct. PSA questions are slightly different from SA questions due to not needing to be fully sufficient, but honestly the vast vast majority of the time the PSA credited correct answer might as well be the correct answer for an …
-
@NotMyName yeah good point. If OP is far away from Target range then definitely do not take.
-
As a retaker, I definitely think my first take helped prepare me for what's to come on my second take. I experienced a pretty significant score drop on my first test day and hit exactly my PT average the second time. I attribute that difference part…
-
I think that game is pretty smooth once you split into 5 game game boards with the GG hour block split into 3 boards first. The dinosaur game is definitely harder but in my opinion the CD game from preptest 31 is the hardest of all time.
-
@lsatplaylist There are some pretty noticeable variations from the LSAC calculator and Law School Numbers (LSN) chances. One big issue I've noticed from the LSAC calculator and even the 7sage predictor after playing around with the numbers is that t…

@Nunuboy1994 personally never read much up until HS since neither of my parents spoke English. I think if anything my STEM background helped the most in terms of getting the logic and strolling through the RC science passages.
-
@sx23 said: @eRetaker @NotMyName Just found out apparently I had a fee waiver from Berkeley on LSAC, no emails. I guess I'm gonna recommend checking your boxes every once in a while for easter eggs then:) I know Berkeley said to you they don't…
-
@Nov2018Taker nah from what I've seen online, it's been pretty random who GULC gave fee waivers to in terms of stats.

PT 30s Hardest, 42-54 easiest LGs in history, and 55+ gets hard again.
