That sounds very strange to me, too. I would imagine that double urm applicants are quite rare and law schools should value that from a class diversity standpoint… I have no hard data on the subject, perhaps one of 7sage’s awesome @"7Sage Admin" adm…

@Determined_ aw, thanks! Always happy to help when I can! I’ll get on that post, when my essays are done
-
Format definitely matters, but more so in the sense that it should be easy to read and find information at a glance. I’d be happy to take a look if you’re concerned, I worked in human resources in my past career, so have seen a LOT of résumés. I hav…

It is my understanding that this is new, so we won’t really know till after this year. But if your gpa is well below the 25th, it can’t hurt for them not to see it, right? Especially as it’s your lsat score, graduate work, and essays you are relying…
-
That is super long for an addendum. My gpa addendum is one paragraph, for example. This is a clarification, not an essay, so be careful not to include more than is actually necessary to explain the circumstances. If you want to send it to me, I’d be…

Just keep practicing. The better you get at anything, the faster you will become. Just focus on the accuracy, speed will follow. Focusing on speed tends to backfire.
-
That really depends, how far are you from your goal score? If you are in the mid-upper 160s, you have a solid grasp on the fundamentals, and it is likely down to test taking strategy to shore up those last few points. Go through your BR in a painsta…
-
With regard to breaking your pattern, it looks like getting to a consistent -0 on games is within reach, and if I were you, I would focus primarily on RC. Are you able to get better than -4 on RC untimed? If not, I would take some time get to that p…

I think "why" is the right question. Why is the author writing this, and for what purpose (to educate, to convince, to dispute, etc). Their attitude speaks more to their motivation for writing the passage, of which we can only speculate based on key…

Thanks @WickedLost ! That makes my day!
-
That depends. You can do either, the actual test will have 4 sections, but scoring is different (real test only 3 scored sections plus one unscored experimental, standard test all four sections scored). If you simulate Flex, you could just add a ran…
-
The median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest, so it is the the score of the person in the absolute middle of the pack, and it could be any number so long as an equal number of people scored higher and lower, again…

@theromanempire , I haven't taken 92, that explains it!
-
Yes, they will look at both, but your CAS is the only one that “counts”. That is the number that gets reported, and is part of what is considered for merit scholarships along with your lsat. My CAS GPA is also significantly lower than my ugpa, I k…
-
Admission and scholarship decisions are completely unrelated. You are admitted based upon the strength of your application against other applicants in the cycle. Scholarship and financial aid are just one way to cover your expenses once admitted. It…

You can slow down the playback, could be helpful.
-
I think it is too many. Include two solid letters, maybe have a third on hand, but four is a bit much in most situations, IMHO.
-
As they have not reviewed your application, they have not passed judgement on whether or not they would admit you based on your current numbers. As a general rule your application will not be reviewed until it is complete, and it will not be conside…
-
I would say exactly that. Owning up to your failings/shortcomings and what you did to fix them, along with the numbers to back it up is exactly what your addendum should indicate. Keep it short, sweet and just about the facts. Focus on your upward t…

No, you can not read aloud during the test. I know folks have have muttered too loudly and were interrupted by the proctor reminding them not to speak.
-
It's absolutely fine, as long as you don't speak out loud, even muttering seems to be ok (I have done it on 3 tests, no issue).
-
I was referring to merit and need based scholarships offered through the individual law schools, yes. But for any scholarships (including private), you do not want to apply to them late in the cycle. The deadline is the cutoff, but they may well hav…
-
It won't so much tank your chances of admission to apply so late in the cycle, but a lot of the scholarship $$ will be spoken for by that point. That is the biggest consideration. I'd say apply early to the schools where you have the numbers (be sur…

I don't remember seeing any games about jr and sr hs with language subcategories... are you sure it is an official game?
-
100% agree with @"andrew.rsn", there is no one process for all schools, but not putting in the effort to show your interest in the schools you want to attend could effect your admission. If they ask for a WhyX, (even if it's optional), you should de…
-
You can write and addendum for anything in your application, but an addendum should only be included if it clarifies an element of your application that is not otherwise clear. I do find it odd that this post is on an LSAT prep course discussion boa…
-
Yes, you need to email the schools. Just keep in mind, if they know you want to be considered with your current score and are retaking the LSAT, they may assume that you are not very interested in their school.
-
I take one PT per week, BR that test, drill games daily to stay fresh, and review things I feel unsure or rusty about. Pretty much taking it easy, knowing I've already put the work in to succeed on test day.
-
Do you have a good skipping strategy? Often, learning when you need to skip a question can give you the perspective you need to make those DUH moments happen during the test. The general rule of thumb for when to skip a question and come back to it:…

I would verify your registration with LSAC and then call ProctorU. Don't risk not getting your time!
