This week we go deep on what's new at 7Sage and what's keeping admissions officers up at night. J.Y. and Kevin join to break down two big releases: the AI Coach, which surfaces tutor-level feedback on your timing, pacing, and study plan inside your subscription, and 7Sage's redesigned digital tester built to match the new August LSAT interface. If you're prepping for August or later and still using the old tester, you're handicapping yourself.
Then tutor Aseman shares her LSAT journey: a 159 diagnostic, a brutal 168 plateau, and how she broke through to a 179. We talk about why progress isn't linear, what it feels like to stop letting a score define your identity, and how she's thinking about Canadian vs. US applications this cycle.
In the admissions segment, Ethan tackles listener questions on one of the most competitive cycles in recent memory. Why did application numbers spike, what does "why law" actually need to do in your personal statement, how to divide labor between the personal statement and the diversity statement, what reapplicants need to know about whether schools reread old files, and whether a strong upward GPA trend can rescue a below-median cumulative.
