So the stimulus is saying these craters are all over the earth, but there are way more in "geographically stable regions." Then it concludes that there must be more meteors in those regions because they are stable (i.e. because of the "lower rates …

Maybe add in some of the earlier harder logic games towards the end of your study, if you haven't done them already? https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid-153335-killer-games-the-11-hardest-lsat-logic-games-of-all-time/

When are you planning to take the LSAT? If you have a substantial amount of time, I think that's fine--naturally, you'll get faster with practice---if you can take at least 10 properly timed prep tests with strict timing. 50% added might be too much…

Sounds like a challenging dilemma. If you're fairly positive you can bump your GPA up from 2.7 to 3.0, I think that's your best bet, because that could make a considerable difference and it'd be more for certain (whereas, the payoff of extra months…

DEPENDS ONLY ON You could either look at this as a logical indicator, or as an indicator of a correlation. Take this example: weight loss depends only on having a large enough caloric deficit You could interpret that as: Weight loss -> Large E…

I think its definitely doable! If your mistakes are usually from overlooking little details, continuing to practice at that pace will take you a long way. How are you reviewing errors? Are you using Blind Review? At your score level, in addition to…

@"kmarie.s" said: Yes, it is to apply to law schools. Traditionally speaking, your GPA is still supposed to be on there if it is above a 3.5. According to whom? It's definitely to your discretion. I second Mario Robo above ^

It's worth noting the law school predictor doesn't take into account where you went to for undergrad (or for your MBA). And it definitely does make a difference.

It depends on the school. I know some who say they will wait until the Janaury score; others will process your file UNLESS you explicitly let them know that they should wait; some even have a question that asks you which you'd like them to do. So I …

I would just write the best personal statement you can write right now, as if your old PS didn't even exist.

Congrats on the U of T acceptance! They just called me today too. One thing to consider is that its easier to practice in the US with a degree from U of T than it would be to practice in Canada with a degree from U of Minnesota. For the latter, you…

Good work!!

Hey there. RC was my worst nightmare, but I overcame it and scored a 179. Based on what worked for me, I have a few recommendations: Practice as many RC sections as you can. If its your weak point, then focus on them disproportionately. Though, th…

Nothing wrong with skipping them. If you don't have time to go back to them, that means skipping them was the right call. Just make sure you do them on Blind Review. If you do have time, but you just skip them because they're annoying, then its tim…

Echoing the above. I would say go for it. Absolute worst case scenario you don't get into whichever schools you're looking at, and you have to apply again the following cycle... no harm in taking it in January and giving it a shot. Especially when y…

A few tips that worked for me: Don't take notes on RC. Instead, read the passage SLOWLY, so that you make sure you aren't skipping ahead without REALLY understanding what you just read. Keep connecting what you're reading to what you read earlier,…

With the fun facts section, you want them to learn something about you, about your character, about what you'd add to Columbia and how you'd interact with others as a student. So instead of just saying a fact--like that you prefer speaking Spanish o…

I think the difference is actually a bit subtle, and has to do more with differing levels of certainty than anything else. Let's say I drop an apple. I "presume" that it will fall. Why? Because, well, gravity. And that's a pretty reasonable presump…

Applying later with a higher LSAT is virtually always better--even if you can improve your score to a 160, it would be worth it to apply later. Remember, a 158 jumping to a 163 means going from 70th to 87th percentile. That's a huge leap.
-
Well, it depends. What's holding you back? Are you running out of time on the sections, or getting questions wrong despite having enough time? A little more context might help, especially to understand where your weak points are. And how are you st…

@noonawoon said: @TheDeterminedC I have read that LSAC calculations can increase GPA if your school awards A+ in the sense of writing it on the transcript but does not count those grades as anything above 4.0 in the GPA calculation. I'm …

I studied LR, LG and RC relatively concurrently--a little bit of one, a little bit of another, etc. like a triangular spiral, if that makes sense. It's nice to at least get to a certain level of preparedness/knowledge in all three categories so you …

Small suggestion: look for the easiest logic games out there, and practice those without doing any diagramming first, to train your brain first to be able to do those questions. It sounds like, if it is normal to note be able to do the super-hard on…

Yes, if it is a professor who can testify to your strengths in an academic setting and knows you well, by all means it can only benefit you to include it, especially when you already have two more letters from the institution where you received your…

I'm in the exact same boat (struggling to cut it down--currently 3.5 pages). Maybe you have too many offers to swap by now, but if not, please DM me with your email and I'll send you mine and you can send me yours.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. That is really tough. Can you postpone taking the LSAT until at least November or December, but still apply this cycle? Why are the only options to delay a whole year, or take it in October?
-
How are you doing on PTs? If you think you have a good shot at scoring 170 in November, I would lean towards cancelling, but clearly I'm in the minority opinion here. Either way, don't sweat it too much, because neither option will be disastrous.

Did anyone NOT have an LR question about conspiracy theories? Just wanna make sure that was experimental. (I had LG LR LR RC LR, and this was the last section). Or alternatively, was that the same section with haunted houses? I believe I had a ques…
