@Patroclus said: I really hope Spivey's prediction of next cycle holds up. I wonder why he thinks next cycle will be less competitive though, it just seems strange because of the huge amount of applicants this cycle. Unless there's some reason…

Great! I've been waiting to see these.

@acsimon said: @LSATcantwin said: Brother, it's this cycle...it's brutal. Don't blame yourself, it is clear that you are 100% worthy of Harvard. The issue this cycle is so are 1,000 other people. I would blame your result on timing…

Adcomms can tell when applicants don't extensively revise their essays and applications. I would guess that your decision to not seek feedback on your application prior to submission hurt you. This part of the application process is critical to succ…

Yeah, I don't see why not.

Numbers only mean so much, even if they are the most important thing in the vast majority of cases.

It depends on the other answer choices and how well they correspond to the stimulus but yes this will often make an answer choice incorrect. See: 'is-ought distinction'

CONGRATULATIONS!

Rejected at Harvard a few minutes ago!

Yale awarded me $37,000 for this year. Awards are recalculated every year. :X I feel like I commit a crime every time I tell someone.

We've all done this many times. To eliminate this tendency, continue to make note of when you do it. Also, double-check your rules once you've written them all down.

@"Seeking Perfection" said: It seems much more impossible to 4.0 every class to me than to get a few A+'s to balance out a few A-'s. As such when I know someone on law school numbers has a 4.01 LSAC GPA I find it dramatically less impressive t…

Berkeley has always been a great school. I wouldn't worry about any significant drops in the ranks for them for a while, tbh.

@Aspiring1L said: @emily2122 "to suggest that one should turn out Harvard for Hofstra is frankly absurd". I completely agree with you. However, it's absurd if you go to Harvard and graduate with $150K+ in debt then go to Hofstra with that 75% …

One of my law school advisors told me, "Law school is no longer the path to guaranteed wealth, if it ever was, but Yale still is." That should give you some perspective on what the ranks actually mean. Going to the highest ranked school you can has…
-
The hard truth is: Rank does matter. The higher up the ranks you go, the greater opportunity there tends to be. You should not enroll in a low-ranked school with the expectation to perform as well as, or better than, your peers at a T14--it is poss…

I think it goes like this: If Applicant A is identical to Applicant B in every single way, but A has two majors whereas B has only one, then A wins. Your majors are "softs." Think of softs in this context, and then try to imagine a world in which t…

Get that LG down, retake. Do your best going in to know that you will perfect LG, though.

I suppose it would be difficult to achieve high speeds without touch typing since you have to copy text in order to gauge your typing speed. https://s17.postimg.org/5xrtb4xan/91wpm.png

You should postpone enrollment and study for the LSAT over the summer. The LSAT's ROI potential is massive.

You should talk to Berkeley about your financial predicament. If I were you, I would go to Berkeley regardless. Taking on debt is not the end of the world if you have access to a Big Law job or a decent LRAP upon graduation.
