@"Seeking Perfection" said: @rklute85 My application decisions have been driven by Top14 scholarship hunting and the far more plausible shot of a Harvard acceptance. This is the best approach for most law school applicants.

Is your PS strong? Might be best to forego the optional essay and submit earlier rather than later.
-
Columbia, Cornell, NYU, UPenn would potentially give you a bunch of money, depending on the rest of your application. Not sure they do full rides? Columbia and NYU offer a lot of scholarships. Cornell seems pretty desperate for top students. UPenn I…

With his softs+diversity, he'll definitely have a good chance. I'm not sure how many spots the T3 reserve for international applicants, if it is the case they do that. Who knows? Something to look into.
-
So, you're good on that front. Now a retake is potentially less of a risk for T3, Yale specifically.
-
I could study with you, if you'd like. It may not be 'full-time,' but I should be available often between now and June.

https://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/data-(lsac-resources)-docs/repeaterdata.pdf Based on the stats, it looks like your score is as likely to increase as it is to decrease.

@hlkoo1212 said: Reverse splitter means high GPA and lower LSAT? @jchamberlainf said: Their 25th percentile is a 166. While this isn't necessarily low, it definitely implies that they are willing to go low_er_ than other top 5 s…

Balance is important. It sounds like you put way too much pressure on yourself the first time. You can't study this test 8 hours a day, every day, without rest, and hope to see the improvement you're capable of.
-
A 173 is going to get you in anywhere if your essays are strong enough. I'd say your GPA is already good enough, though I don't know how the GPA conversion works from UK to US. That would be my only cause for concern, really. I've read that once you…

@LSATcantwin said: They're strict too. I registered late for the Dec test, and the only test center open was 30 miles away in San Francisco so I booked it. The next day a seat opened at the test center I wanted to test at and they charged me $…
-
With your softs, you'd probably get in at a few on your list. I'd say GT and Cornell/Berkeley are your best bets. Your essays should be tiptop, though.

I scored mid-140s on my diagnostic. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!! Reform and dive back in.

Have you already written your PS? You could knock a lot of this stuff out with a well-constructed personal statement. Stories of personal growth and transformation are a great way to show law schools who you are and why you want to go to law school.

@"surfy surf" said: @goingfor99th I do want an in person course. I went through 7sage already Well, then you should have money for a few hours with a tutor, I'd imagine. In-person courses are expensive.

That's not a totally awful idea, but you may be able to derive more benefit from a tutor than a prep course if you're struggling to grasp the subtleties of the test. What do you consider the 'basics' of the LSAT, if you had to say?

Bodybuilding and tracking my diet/calories helped me with discipline and energy. Any type of exercise will do, of course, but bodybuilding is somewhat unique in that building muscle actually helps your brain to learn! The most important thing you ca…

Congratulations to you! I mega-lurked 7sage, too, so your experience resonates with my own. I'm happy you stuck with it after a disappointing first take. :]

@rklute85 said: @goingfor99th That's the exact question that has me hesitant on paying for an edit. I am a year out of undergrad, so I'm hesitant to get in touch with old professors during this time of year. I've asked an old classmate to look…

Try to have your professors or trusted peers edit your statement(s). There is a specific section on Yale's application that asks you whether or not you received assistance in preparing your application (which includes your essays) and whether this a…

Yeah, it's confusing because it refers to both the object of the comparison and the degree to which the comparison is made. It seems to negate the status of the preceding term (whatever that is) by introducing a counter-premise ('otherwise'), and t…

Assumption negation technique is king! (I'm not sure what 7sage's specific term for the technique is.)

Great post! I've stumbled over the word in other stimuli before. 'Otherwise' seems to function as a 'logical opposite' indicator word. Do you agree? This word functions a lot like 'either/or' does, imo.
