@splitter_saga said: @PearsonSpecterLittUp @Patroclus i've been wondering why he thinks that too! if you go back and look historically, once an upswing starts, it's not a one-year affair... and why would the trump bump be only a one year thing…

Combined with the unlimited retake and more information about the benefits of attending T13 being available, I can see why scores are increasing. People understand that the benefits of maximizing their score and people who otherwise wouldnt have ret…

You need to reapply. This cycle is already competitive as is for those who submitted early. You are doing yourself a disservice by applying late and losing out on offers and scholarship money.

Read all of the rules once before you diagram. Read the rules as you diagram the rules. And read the rules again as you try to make inferences. Finally read the rules for those elimination questions. This would be reading the rules 4 times and that …

What are your numbers? Did you feel like your essays and supplementals were strong? This cycle was particularly competitive and I feel that schools took a much closer look at PS and other statements than they otherwise would've. If you haven't done …

Be aware that scholarships offered at lower ranked schools tend to be conditional. Theres not only the risk of you not finding employment but also the risk of losing your scholarship

Great news!! Whats your scholarship and can you PM stats?

@LastLSAT said: @westcoastbestcoast @"Seeking Perfection" Thanks for keeping me focused on the tangible factors. Sometimes it's too easy to get caught up in the "feel" of a school, especially when just deciding between two wonderful backup opt…

The title of the post should be. Follow the rank, and the money will follow

This is not a bad idea. Unless you are getting like minus 2 or 3 on RC and LR and your LG scores are -7, you should focus on improving all aspects of your LSAT performance. You don't want to leave any points on the table and you don't want to get of…
-
Great job, I spent a little over 2 years to make the transformation I did as well. It is great to hear these stories of people not giving up on maximizing their LSAT potential as much as they see fit.
-
I'm glad to hear that you are back on the horse. Like others have said, don't place too much stock onto this one score. You need more data points to know if you have truly improved or if PT 41 was just suited to your particular strengths. Whatever t…

@stepharizona said: As an odd tip schools won't know about multiple deposits until early May so if you're negotiating after seat deposits that's an option BUT no idea if you'll still show up on deposits even if you withdraw one before the May …

I would send a scholarship negotiation email to Berkeley, asking for more aid. Let them know that finances play a big role in your decisions and that you will appreciate any more additional aid they can provide to alleviate your debt. Be sure to att…

Especially with Berkeley getting Dean Cherminsky, a prominent expert in Constitutional Law, I don't see Berkely going down any time soon. This dean was responsible for UCI's high clerkship numbers and should bring his connections with judges to Berk…

WUSTL due to better employment numbers and more importantly due to a prettier campus. I would prefer the BigLaw prospects of WUSTL and even if UMN has a friendly campus, I"m sure the students in WUSTL weren't necessarily vicious. Three years spent i…

These cases are incredibly anecdotal as others have mentioned. For the few number of successful lawyers that come out from Tier 3 or Tier 4, there are plenty more in T14. I know this this is hypocritical, but my coworker knows a recent Georgetown gr…

I dont miss studying at all. I have been spending the past couple weeks going out with friends I haven't seen in a while(due to lsats), getting treated out to nice restaurants for my recent b-day and doing alot of happy hours!

Hey, I work in healthcare and spoke with the VP General counsel of a medical facility. The first thing she's looking for is where you graduated, not what kind of health law classes you took. Most of the practical training for lawyers happen on the j…

I got into uci with the same lsat and slightly lower gpa. But I was within my PT average and already studied for 2 years with a 20 plus point improvement. Presuming you arent in a similar situation, you should retake

Hmm. I used to face a similar situation but with enough practice, I was able to build that intuition. If you notice JY's explanations, he would go through difficult LGs and LG questions strategically, choosing to combine the most restrictive rules t…
