@"Seeking Perfection" Yes, I see what you mean, although I do think the concern is probably a low one. Could always happen, but yeah I think more something for the thief to be worried about than you. Regarding why people don't share personal stat…

Interesting questions With the plagiarism concern, I think Personal Statements are hard to plagiarize considering that each person has unique life experiences. In fact, if your essay was easy to plagiarize and could easily have another name on it, …

cool idea! sending mine

For what it is worth, for myself I find that I need to keep all three sections going throughout the week. I find that if i neglect one section for a while, my mastery in that section goes down. So even if I'm focusing on one area for the day, I alwa…

@LSATcantwin "RC I pray." LOL

I've never been good at math either. I found this book (which I shared here a while back) really helpful. It's called How to Lie with Statistics. It's a classic and goes through all the common ways that people lie with numbers and stats. Super short…

@"Rigid Designator" No idea what your comment just said. I might be reading too many LR passages @uhinberg I'll definitely check out the study. interesting convo for sure
-
@uhinberg that's interesting. I wonder though for someone like me who has been out of school nearly 10 years, if LSAT will matter more. My guess is yes (as well as what I've been doing the last 9 years, which will probably weight a lot too). I do…

@BinghamtonDave Thanks so much for the tips! That makes sense about gaining mastery first before moving to mastering these particular question types. I've been working on LG for a long time, and till tend to score around -3 to -5. Under timed con…

@"Rigid Designator" yup sounds about right!
-
I'm looking forward to joining this. I can just jump on tomorrow right?
-
cool thanks! Will check these out. I like the idea of eliminating the obvious ones and then coming back and just brute forcing through the ones left. That is probably the best advice. I think I freeze up a bit on these questions just cause I see th…

sorry was editing response to this and accidently deleted! have to run out the door but maybe someone else can pick up on the answer

Haven't looked at the specific question, but from my look at your example, I'd

@"Alex Divine" Couldn't agree more. Always shoot for your dreams, but also have a back up plan
-
Agree with previous comments. Also just to add that I think that while it is true that all of law is competitive, I don't think we can actually say other law jobs are equally difficult to get as a professorship. Getting a job in legal academia is …
-
One other question for you guys. I don't know as much about Stanford but wondered if you guys think it is worth considering more deeply? My sense was that it was more specialized in IP law and business. Am I wrong?
-
@RafaelBernard Yeah what you mentioned about academia is what I was mostly meaning. The prof I talked to at UofOttawa also just mentioned less freedom in research and more loops to jump through. And as @"Alex Divine" pointed out, getting a profes…
-
@RafaelBernard Totally agree with you about Yale. At least from the research I've done, it's an incredibly well-respected school. I think if you are going into corporate law, Harvard would be the better option, but for other areas of law I actuall…
-
@mnr12345 thanks! I appreciate the added thoughts and you make some really good points. One thing you spoke to, which I think is really valuable to consider, is the fact that one could do a JD here in Canada (for cheaper) from a good school, and …
-
Great advice!
-
@thisissparta yeah totally hear that. That is one of my main concerns about studying in U.S too. Hard decisions. Also, on a somewhat sidenote but related note, I think the U.S tuition crisis is about to be the new subprime loan crisis. I'd read j…
-
@thisissparta yeah I did a tour of the UoT campus and it is pretty nice. Was also surprised about the no LORs. You planning on applying to UofT or going for a less expensive school?
-
Also, really nice to have a little Canadian corner here
-
@thisissparta Thanks so much for this! I'll definitely check out these resources. Appreciate the info. Also, was just curious from your research, and based on your last paragraph. Are you saying then, if you are in Canada (and don't want to do co…
-
@"Alex Divine" It's interesting that you are in NYC as I was literally just talking to a friend about NYC the other day. I was thinking about if I did get into and ended up going to Yale or Harvard, that I think I'd have be willing to live and wor…
-
@"Alex Divine" you could always come here
-
@therealnas Totally did! It was actually my top pick with UofT. Great reputation and the cost is only 9K a year! And you don't need to write the LSAT. I also thought learning the mix of civil and common law that is so unique there would be really …
-
@akistotle Thanks! Do you do the full PT ahead of time?
-
@spitzy11 actually I have struggled with this same issue. I find less so now as I did before, but I still notice that the initial section is harder and I have more nerves. Once I'm in, I feel like things go smoother. I've found warming up with a …
