Thanks for doing this! I just started the CC after about 6 months of doing the LSAT Trainer. I am taking JY's advice from his first video to study and take the LSAT when ready. If we are not sure we will be ready for the September test, would it be …
Thanks for sharing; I am interested to hear responses. I too will be a splitter (3.5 GPA) when I apply as I'm trying to get into a T10 school and most of those want 3.7s and above.

Thanks Bevs! This is helpful
@"Cant Get Right" she has raved about your Monday night sessions so I will definitely be logging on next week. Just so I'm clear on the pr…
@"Cant Get Right" @Sami
Oh absolutely. Nothing can beat the real thing; but for times when you want some down time, I figured some other puzzles or reading would come more handy than my Facebook app lol! Thanks for your input
I hope this helps! Sorry it's so long!
@ScooterMinion this was very helpful thank you! I have downloaded the Economist app so will peruse that when I have down time from LSAT studying. I'll also take a look at the other articles you sugges…

THANK YOU for this thread! On a good week I am able to put in 2 hours of study after work each day and 3-4 hours on Sundays. Between getting to work at 7 AM, running a household, cooking, cleaning and work travel its very difficult to do any more. I…

@tringo335 I finished college while in the army, my gpa is not exactly T14 material, and honestly the school im going is a good fit because it gives veterans tuition waiver and its number 56, (number 11 for the night …

Thank you @tringo335, @hhhiser_06 and @Mellow_Z. That was very helpful. @tringo335 I fell in love with the mission of 7Sage for the very reason that it wanted to level the playing field for all minorities- and as a socio-ec…

Your softs sound great to me! At this point, you might also think in terms of what could give you a good story for your essays—and being a CASA sounds like it might!
Thank you David! Just the encouragement I needed. Than…

@tringo335 and @shindavis16, I too am a non-traditional student and worry how that may impact my application. For those of us in the non-traditional basket, especially those of us with children, I think it is important to sho…

@tringo335 thanks for asking this question!! I've wondered this as well but did not even think to ask it on here! This is so helpful.
No prob @Ellie0257 ! I just started using 7sage a couple weeks ago and I'm finding the dis…
@thisissparta THANK YOU! This really added to the thread and helped tremendously. I've read up on the stats re: top schools but it was very helpful seeing it all in one place (and graphics are always a plus :0)
@Mellow_Z you are definitely right, g…
Shout out to @shindavis16 for being a female warrior!! Holding it down with the kiddos and a 4.0; you rock lady! Can't wait to see where that determination takes you.
Thanks @"Alex Divine" this is VERY helpful. Good info to know. My goal was to land a T14 school and after your explanation, I think I will stick to that goal ;-). Thanks again!
I'd have to agree with @Mellow_Z ... Since only one school has approved GRE, I think it would be best to stick to the LSAT. But thanks for the input @RafaelBernard ! I'm wondering if @"david.busis" can weigh in on my original question about softs?
Thanks @elizabeth23! I of course am volunteering with CASA for altruistic reasons. The reason I want to be a lawyer is to help others (hence the hard studying because I will need a scholarship as I don't intend on making any money once I graduate.) …
I work full time (40-45 hours per week) and study 1-1.5 hours M-F and 2-3 hours on Sundays. Planning on using this schedule for the next 1-2 years- however long it takes as I cannot increase my study hours while working Full Time.
I just started the CC but do want to offer this caveat - taking the first PT when noted on the study schedule as a baseline. I asked the group if I should skip this first PT, and most folks said no and that it would be a good gauge to 1. understand …
"May your curse in life be that your hard work is constantly mistaken for talent" You may not be the smartest person in the room, but you can be the hardest working. And that's all you need to succeed at the LSAT.
