@"Alex Divine" I keep going back and forth, being such a splitter makes it so hard to predict. I'm putting max effort into my apps and hoping my LSAT carries me! And at the end of the day, odds are I'll have $$$ at some t14 schools, which I'd probab…

@"Seeking Perfection" Some excellent advice, I was thinking somewhat along the same lines. Focusing on the upward trend, that way I don't fall into the trap of making up excuses for my poor performance first semester. Sadly my school didn't have aca…

@"Alex Divine" absolutely, the "astrophsyics" blurb was meant more as frustration with myself, i totally agree, would be futile and harmful to say anything like that to admissions! Thanks for the input, new I could count on you!

It is very hard. Once you are at 170 every extra point is as hard as 5 if you're in the 150s and 160s. 2 extra questions right or wrong is make or break at that altitude. My best advice is to drill any weaknesses hard, practice like mad, BR like you…

I think the first thing you need to do is confirm your goals. Is there a specific area of law your interested in? Talk to some practicing lawyers and looking employment numbers in that field. Recognize that a job after graduation is not a guaranteed…

@"Seeking Perfection" OMG, sneak reading under a blanket until 3am!! So real! My parents had to hide all our flashlights because I never got any sleep! Jokes on them, allowance+bike=dollarstore flashlight->Redwall books all night! Hope someone c…

Definitely try both. Write up a quick, super rough draft of each and i think you'll be able to tell pretty easily which is worth pursuing. I'm currently writing on my 5th topic, sometimes a good topic just refuses to cooperate and germinate a good p…

I believe NYU requires a letter, iirc

I never did warmups before PTs, but perhaps I should have for consistency. On actual test days I would do 1 RC passage, 1 game and a dozen LR questions. All "easy" ones that is seen before to boost confidence and avoid fatiguing myself unnecessarily

Whoo, Cornell fan club! I think what you said would be sufficient. I think i said something along the lines of Cornell's reputation made me look into it, and then student testimonials made me apply. But all flowery and eloquent like

Clarification: when you say you run out of time and have one section unfinished, is that for RC, LR, and GAMES? Or is it just one of the three? If it's RC, I echo @Sami you're missing the forest for the trees. Everyone is different, but the general…

No idea, but Cornell has been creeping up my list of preferred schools, so following this thread!!

I hear you! Last summer I was working 55 hours a week, studying nights and weekends and I felt like I was going insane! The biggest thing that helped me was exercising/Being active. It's hard to do because it seems like time taken from studying, bu…

@uhinberg said: To sum it all up: Yes, 162 is a really good diagnostic, and all signs point to a potential for mid to high 170s score, BUT it won't come automatically, only with hard work. The points from 160s to 170s are the very hardest to c…

It's absolutely possible! I had my early life crisis at 22, February of 2017 and started considering going to law school kindof out of the blue. I took the free june 2007 test just to see if it was realistic, so I'd consider that the ultimate cold d…

I would shoot for a retake in June, if you rushed your study the first time, you probably still have quite a bit to learn and improve to reach your full potential. Rushing to take in February will probably result in a minor bump, if any. Plus youll …

Just got my acceptance email from UofM yesterday!! Maybe we'll be classmates next fall @elisajelley

Option A!!!! That's literally the perfect character to write about! I also think you are spot on saying they want you to make the character real through your writing. Go for it!

On the ethical conversation, I think the type and degree of editing matters greatly. My personal "line in the sand" is content added. If a service, paid or not, or professor, friend or brother edits for grammar and makes suggestions like "get rid o…

Very helpful, thanks for sharing @"Paul Caint" Good to hear some first-hand experience of an interview. I would agree it sounds more like a confirmation of a personality and social skills. Hope they thought it went as well as you feel and you get th…

@"Seeking Perfection" said: @LSATcantwin I'm not sure if you were planning on it or not, but I would definitely recommend applying to WUSTL. They are willing to throw scholarships out there for high LSAT scores. Regardless of whether you w…

Addendum to above ^^ The only reason to force in extra PTs as opposed to timed sections is if you're worried about stamina. Timed sections are just as good for timing and material, but you do lose the realistic effect of doing RC after 3 hours of t…

One hundred percent agree with @"Leah M B" My study schedule was Full PT on Sunday, blind review monday and Tuesday, 2 timed sections with review wed and thurs, Friday off, 3 timed sec with review Saturday. It worked really well. Blind review is w…

I don't have direct experience, but I've heard that Feb and even June can be used for this purpose, and also for scholarship negotiation. One possible drawback could obviously be significant score drop which is a consideration at Yale and Harvard. …

You deserve It! Congratulations and merry christmas!

I have my score!!!! And it's good! Joy and jubilation! Good luck everybody, and merry Christmas! Remember no matter how high or low, a number does not define you or measure your value or potential, you all are awesome!

It could be as early as 2, but in all likelihood it will be between 4 and 6 green goes grey

Whos ready to be completely distracted and utterly useless at work all day!!!? This guy

I have never felt so blindsided. I'm a mess of anxiety, hope, surprise and confusion, tempered with suspicion. Why is this happening? What did we do to deserve such an unexpected wrench in the holiday works? Is this even real? God save us all

@"Cant Get Right" said: I’m working on the literary character one. Huckleberry Finn. Really tough. 250 words is either way too much or way too little to say anything. I agree so strongly. I have the same problem with my Yale 250. I can't ela…
