Hey! Anyone else interested? I could use a few more readers who don't know me. PM and let's trade! I would also be psyched for a full-package swap: PS/addendum/diversity. I am trying to make sure I cover my bases.
@"Leah M B" thanks! I pulled mine from the state I grew up in where I was sure I had a ticket...none was listed. Maybe I'm misremembering? NY State also requires you to mail a check (of course) and a paper form. I am not even sure I have a check. Th…
How are y'all handling it when you have had a driver's license in multiple states? You are perhaps surprised to hear that the NYS DOL is not very helpful and maybe my google-fu is off but I can't turn up a definitive answer. Have you requisitioned a…
I have been in this with several schools. I'm in my mid-30s and also haven't had a financial relationship with my parents since my late teens - we're still working on a relationship at all and are only minimally in touch. This makes me so mad - ther…
It will definitely work from your phone. You can't view offline (a bummer for subway rides!) but everything else works and you can still grade tests, etc from the mobile apps. I am really into the curriculum, even just the starter one. Recommended.
I won the starter admissions kit, so just the videos and essay bank, in a test review contest. I would say I have found it moderately useful. It is nice to have a one-stop shop for everything admissions vs. trying to piece it together from other res…
I would call them and throw it at their feet. They can do whatever they want but they are the only ones that can help you and it is 100% up to them. I would emphasize the parts of the story where you wrote in the email that you just wanted your late…
Q: if I won't have time to BR on my own first, will this be a useful exercise? Trying to decide if I should push for this or instead wait til next week and do a different PT.
Are you missing across all games, only the last game you do, something else?
Are you missing a certain type of question? Always the last qs? Do you ever miss first qs? Are you misreading qs or misanswering them (ie, do you misunderstand the q/misr…
I was for a long time very skeptical about all the layout that JY does in his boards - splitting, multiple boards, etc. I have timing issues with the LGs and it seemed like it was going to be a huge waste of time.
But I've been trying it - who am I…
I just want to reiterate what @"Jonathan Wang" said above: if you don't specify, people will likely assume you are those things anyways. You may as well be honest and up front about it.
For my midway snack I brought half of one of those salads in a bag and turkey slices from the deli. POWER FOOD that lasts way longer than sugary/carby snacks and it easily fit inside my ziplock. Put a plastic fork inside your salad bag and you're go…
Some further thoughts:
1) Get the people you love to buy you pencils or an eraser or sign your watch or buy you shoelaces etc, etc. Cheesy yes but then you get to look at your pencils and think about everyone cheering for you who thinks you're the g…
Hmm. I just went to the forum in NYC. I found it kind of useful but not thaaaaaat useful ultimately. Admissions people are admissions people and their answers are pretty predictable. I did some asking of my carefully researched questions - and they…
@africannarp me too and I'm screwed. I decided at this point I'm just going to wait for my score but I keep panicking and almost registering. I will have to figure out where best to take it. Time to visit a friend nearby I guess.
I hope all the LSAC data entry workers are having a pizza party right now and waiting for the file to finish uploading before they have a little ceremony about how they are ensuring the future of the rule of law in our world and hitting a "GO LIVE" …
OK oldsters, I just went to the LSAC Fair in NYC and did a lot of asking. Here are some things I learned that generalize:
1) if it's been more than 10 years, your academic letter is important but not as essential. What is essential is good proof yo…
Bumping this! 33 year old, 13 years out of college, looking for PS pals and LoR sympathizing. I am also researching schools more intensely to prep for the LSAC forum and realizing that I am above the age range given in some schools, which is definit…
@coconutsberries said:
What does this mean? How do you know which noun is important and which one is not ?
Do you go back to the passage on detail questions?
Coming back to this - hmm. I think it is somewhat automatic. I am looking for nouns that …
I am always looking for these things/underlining:
1) what does the author think about what they're saying;
2) what are the sentences that express an opinion (even if it's not the authors');
3) what are the key nouns/sentence subjects (ie the things …
You all are the best. On the advice of some other folks, I am choosing to appeal the fee waiver decline - if that happens I'll have a lot more $ options, although I'm not sure if it will. Either way, I am glad to hear the starter was helpful in this…
@beyondsudi I was worried about traffic etc too and the risk of being a total n00b to the area. It turned out fine (it's early in the morning!) but you would know better than I in that regard. I also found a $40 airbnb the night before that was less…
