Thank you all so much. It’s so nice to have folks to celebrate with.
I’m crossing my fingers now on the $$$ portion... because that will really decide if I can actually go haha. But step 1 is acceptance and I will take …
I don't think wanting to help people is a barrier to enter the legal field. If anything chasing money is more of a barrier to entry, as most of the BigLaw jobs go to T14 graduates and high ranking students from T1 schools. Being a lawyer positions a…
what will you do differently? what was responsible for you shooting below your PT average? I think your decision to retake should be dependent on what things you struggled with and whether those things are easily fixable, like a less than perfect LG…

That is really important because schools will sometimes stipulate a certain GPA which seems achievable and then use the law school curve …
This is great. It really shows what I have learned myself that LSAT prep progress is something that you can't force into a specific timeline. To reach your practicable potential, you need to take time working through the fundamentals. LG is definite…
Hmm yale wont be an auto reject since there were people who were below 25th on LSAT and GPA who gained admissions. As for the 173, was your LG perfect? If it was less than perfect, you can probably aim for a 175 or more which would help you get alot…
I would take more time to prep for the exam, maybe expand it over 6 months. You have an unique, non traditional background which should serve you well in admissions time. If you pair that with a high 160s or 170 plus score, you can gain acceptances…
How long have you been studying? Also what question types have you been struggling with? With minus 6 on each section of LR, I would focus more on doing deep untimed work with a focus on sharpening foundational skills like diagramming and ID'ing the…
Congrats on a good score! I know you dont have a score breakdown but do you believe you had less than perfect logic games? If so, i would totoally retake. 169 is a great score but once you put yourself at 170 plus mark, you set yourself up for a lot…

I'm not inclined to take a formal class. I'd rather use the money on supplements and hornbooks and try to get ahead so I can practice taking exams either in the summer or earlier in the semester.
That said with…
Number 1 of what you said is so overlooked!! Even though this exam isnt graded on a curve in a traditional sense, it is scaled based on the past test takers when they took that section as an experimental. If a section is hard for you, it may be hard…

@westcoastbestcoast , yeah I'm usually a huge advocate of the "retake, reapply" motto but I've already got my apps in so I'll see what happens haha. If I don't like the outcome, I will most definitely be reapplying though!
Go…
