@CantStopWontStop Congrats on the scholly!

@BinghamtonDave said: This is a fine line to walk for sure. There are a finite number of hours in a day. What you are attempting has been done, but will always be difficult. Depending whether you are at the PT stage of your prep, I would sa…

@eRetaker said: I recommend everyone in school, esp with demanding academic schedules, to study after they graduate and work. Your main focus should be maintaining your GPA. I have a 4.0 GPA and I already sent some of my applications in. I a…

Thanks so much for doing this. PLEASE add me too.

My most helpful lesson was "How to Write a Diversity Statement."

I have visited all the UC law schools as I grew up in the bay area. My favorites if I were accepted are Cal and UCLA. Please, do not think if you are accepted to Cal or UC Hastings that you can commute into the bay area from Tracy or Stockton, it is…

@goingfor99th Awesome stats! I noticed you mentioned that you were granted an LSAC fee waiver. I'm curious if law schools make note of that and whether it factors into their decision. I was also granted a fee waiver so I'm wondering if anyone might …

I started my LSAT prep by ordering the Powerscore Trilogy. I really had no idea how to study or prepare for the test, or even what it was like. When I posted questions on various campus legal groups, no one really explained what the questions were l…

Merry Christmas to all! But actually I just logged in and started studying. There's no rest for the LSATer, even on Christmas day.

I had both AP credits and dual enrollment credits from college classes taken in high school. Since I received an associates degree while in high school, as well as taking classes not offered at my local community college online, I attended eight dif…

@"Dillon A. Wright" I am confused. If i pay more money for ULtimate package in January, then will it expire in two months in March? I thought Ultimate would last for 12 months, so if I already used two months on the 7Sage starter, then wouldn't the…

I am from CA and have visited many of the CA law schools, so ask away if you have any questions. If you can afford USC/UCLA then do attend, but if you have to pay full sticker and need scholarships to attend you may not wish to go if you are worried…

I think it is worrisome and I do take it seriously. We know some attorneys in real life that ended up working doc review to survive, even someone from CAL. We did meet a UC Hastings grad working at the Barnes and Noble in San Mateo, but did not wan…

@dytmom_3x It appears from the wording of the bill that you are only grandfathered in if you have taken out Federal direct loans for a graduate program. Even if you have taken out Federal Direct loans for undergrad, you are not grandfathered in as t…

Here is a new article on the PROSPER Act so more people are becoming aware of the issue. "The bill also caps how much a student can borrow for graduate or professional school at $28,500 per year. (Under the current Direct Loan system, a student can…

@goingfor99th I have exhaustive 'checklists' for LR and LG. They're much more streamlined and convenient than this. I'm still working on a definitive RC approach but I have something more definitive than what's on the flowchart above Hi I would l…

Here is the link to the bill from the Congress bill tracker website: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4508/text I find it more likely than not that the House and Senate will pass this bill given that both are Republican majo…

Isn't the Senate controlled by the Republican party currently? While I really pray for a Hail Mary that raises the proposed 28500 loan cap I don't really see that happening in the current political climate in Washington. If you look at the comments …

I find the timing of the passing of this PROSPER act to be very suspicious. First of all I have been attending numerous visiting law schools coming to my college, some in the 70k per year annual cost, and I also attended two seminars on financing yo…

@"Alex Divine" How many months did you study before actually taking the LSAT the first time? It looks like some people on here spend a year preparing. Since I will be returning to school full time in few weeks & working, I am wondering whether I…
-
You should probably wait a few weeks to make a decision and see how this all shakes out. Most schools are on closure now so financial aid deans will probably not be writing anything on the impact to law schools. If I see anything new I will post it…

The class entering Fall 2018 is safe. The PROSPER Act takes effect for those entering Fall 2019 or later. Personally, I am really devastated at this news because it means that some dream law schools may be out of reach if you are relying on student …

I like to put on noise cancelling headphones so I am not distracted by outside noise. I also find that since I am stressed, i like gum and lots of chewable candies to get through the day. I also use an array of different color highlighters and somet…

It is an issue if you start fall of 2019, as you will only be able to take out the new Direct one loans capped at $28,500 annually " Graduate students will see their loan limits set at $28,500, as opposed to the current limit, which is the total cos…
-
Actually the House just passed the PROSPER Act a few hours ago. I did not want to take out loans for undergrad, but I will check out what you mentioned about taking out Stafford loans now to get grandfathered in. I am still not sure whether those lo…

@butler17 How long did it take you to reach your desired score under timed conditions?
