UPDATE:

Thanks for coming, everyone! If you attended the webinar, you can pitch an idea for a blog post here to enroll in the contest for a free Edit Once.

7Sagers,

On Thursday, August 9, at 9 p.m. ET, J.Y. and I will host an ask-me-anything webinar. Come with questions about the LSAT, law school admissions, J.Y.’s freehand computer diagramming skillz, string theory, cooking the perfect chicken roulade, or anything else. Fair warning, though—we probably won’t answer anything except LSAT and law school admissions questions. (Re: roulade—LEMON ZEST.)

:cookie: We’ll give one webinar participant a free Edit Once.

:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

→ Please register for the webinar (August 9, 2018 @ 9:00 p.m. ET) here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0vvCwAHxR5umGfn6JaKouQ

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar.

Zoom might prompt you to download something before you can join the webinar, so I’d advise you to show up a bit early on Thursday.

I hope to see you there!

    @joelakaufmann551 I have recently started following caraclarknutrition.com on Instagram and on FB. I really like her recipes and style of eating. I have felt energized while I've been eating the way she proposes and I think it's helping me with my focus while studying. She sells cookbooks on her website but she also posts free recipes on her Insta all the time. I saw your suggestion for a blog post and wanted to let you know about it b/c it's been working for me really well! Happy studying!

    Thanks for the AMA yesterday!

    I'd love to see a blog post with advice on some of the soft lifestyle factors for LSAT prep. I've personally found (and have heard others echo similar sentiments) that adding regular workout routines, eating better, incorporating meditation, etc. into their daily lives have helped them get into the right mindset and focus for PTing. Would love to get some advice on that front.

    Similar to what others have stated, I would love a blog post about applying to law schools after a few years of employment. In particular how important it is to include LORs from your current employer when you think you would likely get better recs from professors/supervisors from jobs during undergrad.

    Thanks for the AMA session today!

    I think a blog post about employment and the LSAT/law school would be helpful. For example, my employers don't know that I plan on going to law school. It is really nerve-wracking because the LSAT (and law school) have become almost like a double life for me (cue the Hannah Montana theme song). I think that there may be other people who are afraid to discuss their upcoming plans with employers out of fear of losing their jobs. The post could include advise on how to balance work/studying when your job is unaware of such a major commitment, as well as how to break the news to your current employer.

    Thank you for the wonderful session today!

    I would love to see a blog post about what international students should focus on during their application/writing/LSAT Prep. As an international student, we should both know our strength and weakness in this whole application process. I was bothered by the study schedule/managing school life during the prep time, and feeling anxious about the incoming application season. I hope 7sage’s will have more constructive strategy on this. Thanks you guys!

    My suggestion is a blog post about making a choice between big law (take the $$$) and public interest (follow your passion), perhaps from the perspective of someone who's done both.

    A blog post on LOR strategy for different types of applicants! And for different schools.

    Hey! Please post any waitlist advice you have! This cycle was a waitlist nightmare for many applicants. I'm sure many would be better prepared for the upcoming cycle if we got some pointers on that ?

    Thanks for doing the session today!

    It would be great to see a blog post about the advantages and disadvantages of going to law school early versus after a few years, especially for those of us more recently out of undergrad.

    I have two (kinda). (1) @alextobin14717 proposed topic of "when seeking a consultant may be beneficial"...I like this idea...but there are two "whens" maybe... (a) like depending on an individuals circumstances (b) like temporal as in how long before you are going to be applying, how much time in advance one would need to procure such services. I would mainly be interested in a blog on the second "when" (b)

    (2) Before @alextobin14717 entry I thinking about negotiating offers...something I hope I will need to be able to do (eventually) :) . You touched on this a little when a question was proposed about ED to VA, and I would love a blog that gave more of the insight into the negotiating of scholarship offers.

    It would be helpful to see a blog post about how to study during the last week (I know it was briefly answered during the webinar, but I still think something a little more thorough would be useful). Thank you!

    I would like a blog post on ways to maintain mental health during LSAT study and applications

    I would love to see a blog post about managing family life and law school. It would be even more interesting to me if it involved having to travel to school and to home some distance. This is something I will have to deal with, and reading about someone else's experiences in handling it would be very helpful to me. I realize this may not be feasible depending on who you have as writers on your team.

    I guess an optional idea would be something like "How to ask for more money without upsetting the school admissions officers or making yourself look weak or greedy".

    Please provide us with a blog post about whether JY has a cat or a dog or both. I have seen mixed comments regarding this issue throughout 7sage threads! (Disregard if it is too private for public knowledge.) :smile:

    I would like to read a post about anxiety and depression and its correlation to LSAT takers. Maybe proven methods to deal with it before during and after as well.

    Ive seen a lot of anxiety posts in the forum lately.

    I would echo the suggestion of Josie Contreras regarding the trend of law school applicants and the effects it has had on 25, 50, 75 percentiles. An explanation more than just data would be great.

    Hello - I posted this in the chat box of the webinar about an hour ago:

    My blog post suggestion is to write about study tips and application tips for non-traditional students and our chances of getting in to law school. I feel like alot of the focus is on recent college graduates but there are many of us in our 30's and 40's who would appreciate the guidance.

    I think a blog post about study strategies 2-3 weeks before taking the LSAT would be helpful! For example, should I take the week off before the test or continue taking PTs up until test day?

    I blog post on on how to study for the LSAT when you are running out of material would be awesome!
