@"Mr. Singh" said: LSAC allows you to list a school that you are attending with a futuristic graduation date. When I listed it, I listed the date that I planned to graduate in the future. So, it was correct at the time because I had been accep…

Can you do handwritten letters and send them into LSAC? Would they photocopy it or something?
-
Since you have the LSAT Trainer already, definitely use the RC sections. It made a big difference for me after going through 7Sage's RC curriculum.

It's a lot of time and debt to get a degree you won't use. I guess if you wanted to do business law and get an MBA, that would be different..
-
@Bamboosprout definitely!
-
@Bamboosprout thank you. I actually would love to be a prosecutor, though I'll probably be in debt until I retire lol. The LSAT/scholarship is really going to be a life-changer for me because I won't be able to pay off loans as quickly as people in …

I take note of how long I spend on each question, which questions I come back to, and how long I spend on the questions when I come back to them. For example, if I spent a total of 3 minutes on a question that I still got wrong, I should've just ski…

Yup! Review this. https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/many-some/

Hey! I think it depends on what kind of score you're trying to get. If you're looking for a score in the 150s, the Starter package is a great way to start. You can always upgrade. But if you're trying to get a 170, you'll probably want Ultimate or U…

I would review the "some and most relationships" part of the CC, as well as invalid argument forms. It's always good to brush up on the fundamentals. I actually plan on reviewing advanced bi-conditionals and advanced logic today. The last thing I wa…

Well this might change the mood haha, but I'm a mass shooting survivor. I have to figure out how to write about this in a way that doesn't sound like I'm out for vengeance... but basically, I can't get with the fact that some people think that the r…

Definitely practice untimed, and don't burn through PTs. Once you start getting a little better than the score you want untimed, move to timed. For example, if your goal is -7, practice untimed until you can get like -4. You will continue to get bet…

I think you should try writing a diversity statement for each topic. Whichever one comes out better is the one to use. That's what I'll be doing, anyway. Maybe the other topic can be woven into your PS.
-
Hey! I have a group message going of people who like to study/Skype together. Lmk if you want to be added into that. It has been pretty quiet lately, but there are I think 9 of us in it rn. @evansiegal94 and I just reviewed some stuff recently, and …
-
I think you have a good idea with the PS topic. You could also look at schools' stats and see if any of them publish how many of their students are vets. I feel like I saw that on one school's website. If so, that will definitely help you out with y…

I can't wait to explain that I got a ticket for driving through a red light a second after it turned red. The officer who wrote me the ticket actually came to court to tell the judge not to give me any points for it. Also, I got a $77 fine (no tick…
-
Fool-proofing is so helpful, but you have to have the time to do it. I spent probably 4-5 hours on this one game about male/female snakes and lizards. I think I did the game 20 times before I could confidently get it in the suggested timeframe. The …

To echo @"Leah M B", professional LORs are ok in your situation. If you can get a professor to write you one, do it. But if that professor cannot speak to your personality and willingness to learn because so much time has passed, I would skip out on…
-
I would trust LSAC. I'm sure a lot of people who don't get into a school aren't running to LSN to post about it, but LSAC has ALL of the data.
-
Also, if you're really studying 12 hours a day, please do not study 7 days a week. Burnout weeks before the test is a nightmare.
-
Normally, I'm a huge proponent of getting the best package you can afford. However, if you absolutely must take the November exam, Starter should be fine. With a score under 150, learning the fundamentals is what matters the most. The Starter packag…
-
I agree with @"Leah M B" here, though I totally understand your frustration. I got 99s and 100s in multiple classes, but my school doesn't give A+s. Some schools also give As for 90-100, so A- isn't a grade you can get. None of it is really fair.
-
I would call the LSAC. No need to jeopardize your chances of admissions unless you have to. Idk how long ago you graduated high school, but it probably won't matter too much.
-
I have no doubt that the way you spoke to them was irrelevant... it was just a suggestion. People are often willing to work harder for you when you treat them like real people and not just employees (also not saying you did that). But I wish the LSA…
-
I have thought about this before, as I transferred from a competitive school to a completely average school (average median GPA and SAT scores). I think all the admissions committees are going to care about is my 3.80 GPA because it helps with their…
-
Most schools will only factor 120 credits into your GPA. Like I have 121 credits and I have a 3.80 LSAC GPA instead of a 3.79 (my actual GPA). So more classes won't bring up your GPA. I think that your paralegal experience will carry a lot of weight…
-
So I was enrolled in a school and withdrew after the add/drop deadline. That needs to be listed on my transcripts list. If you never attended a school, it should not be on there. I would write out everything you need to say and call again. Read from…
-
I had to submit a transcript from a school that I withdrew from in the first semester (after the add/drop deadline). I got 0 credits from that school lol. That's what addenda are for!
-
Unfortunately, it seems like you need to round down. But either way, law schools will see your actual GPA!

I think the clinics serve as resources for people who need lawyers but cannot afford to pay private attorney fees. Every school I have looked at seems to have different options from desk work to court representation. According to How To Get Away Wit…
