Agree with BD above that JY is referring to the allotted times for each respective game from his videos. Although your strengths may differ, generally these are good guidelines to shoot for. If you're finishing below the time, great! Keep doing what…

@westcoastbestcoast said: Apologies if i am overlooking something but have you considered waiting out a cycle. Even if you got a higher score on February, you would be worse off than if you waited a cycle and applied with that new score and ap…

Gotta agree with @Ohnoeshalpme Getting your score up to 175 in 4 months is about as likely as getting hit by a shark or getting attacked by lightning, it can happen, but it's not going to. I don't mean to discourage you, it's achievable, but that …

170+ is definitely possible, but getting there by June is a toss-up. Last year I was you. 162 cold diagnostic, studied about 25 hours a week while working full time, tested in June and got 170. I kept studying and ended up with a 176 in december, it…

I just want to add that the differential matters. If your LSAT is 5 points above 75th while your GPA is 0.01 below 25th you're pretty much a lock. However a 2.5 GPA could be prohibitive if your LSAT isn't 99th percentile. Definitely apply broadly t…

What these guys said ^^ Also, was your test score significantly below your PT average? If not, then take the time to really learn the lsat material and strategies and wait to retake until youre ready. If it was, then maybe you need to find a way to…

OP, this is probably unnecessary, but I'll say it anyway just in case. Make sure you always do 5 sections! Before my first test I exclusively did 4 section test because I didn't realize the point of wasting a section. But that stamina is vital on te…

@"Seeking Perfection" I only wrote the Why Duke, so I'm actually working on the optional essay now. At the time I originally applied I didn't really understand the principle of yield protection, now I need to convince them I'm really interested, whi…

@"Daniel.Sieradzki" said: @tylerdschreur10 I would not worry too much about it. This is a bit of an odd cycle. This week, a bunch of people with amazing stats (including a 176 LSAT + 3.95 GPA) were waitlisted at Chicago. I think that the …

Apparently no news is good nes, bc I just got waitlisted...what fresh hell is this ?

@LSATcantwin said: I do! Duke had to close because of the weather! I called them as well and got an e-mail back today apologizing for the delay but they were closed for few days! Ah, that explains it then!!! Good looking out brother

Not to rain on your parade, but the weather in LA is pretty brutal. Nowhere near as pleasant as buffalo, ??

Following this thread, didn't know these existed until last week, now I'm intrigued. Internet seems divided, as usual. Most reviews I've seen say these courses are generally helpful, tho by no means necessary, and mayne not worth the money. I've hea…

Definitely apply early and put extra effort into your PS and GPA addendum. It's always hard to predict splitters, especially as extreme as you, but odds are good you'll get into at least one t14. I would apply everywhere but t6, write every Why Scho…

First, let me concede that everyone is different and of course use the strategy that works for you, not what others suggest. If you can score a 180 by closing your eyes and channeling the force, kudos, and go f*** yourself, haha! That said, I think…

@Sammie215 said: Hey there-- I'm in a similar boat and wrote a GPA addendum, but it's a risk you get to decide for yourself. Just wanted to also say that the school has access to the LSAC academic summary report, which sort of shows where you…

Haha, that sounds like a good plan tho. Plus you'll be in an awesome position for 2019, LSAT dominated, plenty of time to put together some dynamite essays, and you can submit all your application on like september 5 and get max aid and admissions c…

@pioneer321 said: @tylerdschreur10 are you me lol? Also got 176 on a retake (although my first test was lower than yours), and also with STEM undergrad punishing my GPA. I’m writing both the LSAT and GPA addenda, but until I have final drafts…

I really don't think it's going to hurt you as long as you don't try to make up excuses that aren't valid. I'm in a similar position, 2.9 GPA first semester, graduated with a 3.6. I ended up writing an addendum, mainly said my first semester was a …

I don't really have one, but my slamdunk yes if accepted is probably Stanford!

If you're from the southeast and not fixed on TN, some other schools to consider might be Texas, Georgia, Bama, and Emory especially.
