Hi everyone,
We are going to put these office hours on hold as we prepare for the new season. If you want them to continue, leave a comment, and we may restart them in June!
📌 Questions? We've got answers. @"selene.steelman" and I are happy to talk to you about law school admissions in our remote office hours every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
🐣 New: Selene and I will start with a short discussion of a timely topic—law school financial aid, wait lists, etc.—before we open it up to your questions.
🍪 Topic: This Wednesday, we'll talk about how to pick a law school.
🎥 Heads up: The webinar will be recorded, and we may excerpt portions of it for our podcast. You can ask questions anonymously, though—either live or through our question box.

Customer feedback and PSA: If you are currently an applicant in the admissions cycle, you need to be listening to these office hours and asking YOUR questions. Unless the admissions committee from your target school is giving you individualized advice, this FREE resource is one of the best things going.
@davidbusis895 I so want to attend one of these but they happen around 5:30 AM in my time zone. I don't know if other international applicants would be interested but would it possible to hold at least one of the QandA webinars at a different time so that 7sagers around the world could join in?
This is just a reminder that office hours is canceled tonight. Please register for tomorrow's webinar with Julian Morales, the director of admissions at Penn State Law!

I think the podcast that I would have to recommend would be the very first one that 7 sage posted, so "#1- AMA 7sager Can't Get Right - 152 to 175 LSAT"
I personally think that this podcast has a lot to offer. I am just going to list a few things that I learned from it, and hopefully this will help somebody else as well.
Does not matter at what stage of studying one is at, there is always room for improvement. I have to keep reminding myself this because it is really easy to think that you have hit a wall. I know that I have always tried to find other methods to feel like I have moving in the positive direction again. I know that Josh mentioned doing the entire 7 sage curriculum after taking the LSAT twice. There is always a way!
It is going to be okay. If it did not go well today, then you still have another test date. I know that I am constantly stressing about everything going well, so I can start in August. However, it will not be the end of the world if I have to take another a year off. Of course this specific advice does not necessarily apply to everyone, but I am sure everyone wants to hear that "it is going to be okay, and it is going to work out."
Honestly just kind of hearing him talk about the measures he took to get that 176 was eye opening and motivating. This was the first that I had heard somebody talk about recording themselves take an exam. It seemed so extreme at first, but I do it myself now. It is weird and a bit cringy having to watch yourself, but you can learn so much from it.
To be honest, I could go on and on about this podcast, but I strongly recommend people to go listen to it. I think I learned a lot from it, and I believe so can others. Good luck :)
I would recommend the Podcast episode with NotMyName4.
Just listened to the podcast and it was deeply helpful. It was the only piece of media that offered the unique perspective of failing because of practicing too strongly. What I mean is this: because of how well his practice tests went, he had become unfamiliar with his timing strategies, so when he went into the actual test and was hit with some tough questions, he wasn't able to adapt. This was a problem for me in November, and to supplement the podcast, I would suggest building up a library of questions you've had trouble with, similar to what NotMyName4 does, and use the questions from that library to create ultra hard sections to practice and to make sure your timing strategies are solid.
I'd like to take this opportunity in this comment (in this singular moment in time, on a seemingly randomly chosen discussion) to recommend this podcast episode: https://classic.7sage.com/1-ama-w-7sager-cant-get-right-152-to-176/
I specifically liked how they talked about skipping strategies for LR questions. That's helped me have more time to breathe at the end of LR and focus on a few of the hardest questions.
I would love for them to continue! Every call is something new! They are awesome!
This would be so great and helpful in July/August. I bet it will be really stressful to be doing all the applications and it helps so much to know that we have your support in this journey. Please continue these office hours!
Office hours tonight! Hope to see you there. We'll talk about how to pick a law school.
@vrendonvasquez562 @naomiavery410 I'm so sorry about this! We ended office hours early because we had an audience of two. We'll probably continue to do this in the future, so if you want to ask us a question, you should stop by earlier rather than later.
I have to move office hours to Thursday next week!
Hope to see some of you here tonight! @stevencamendola43 will be talking about need-based financial aid.
@jonahgriego643 let’s talk about it next office hours!
@davidbusis895 you mentioned it a couple of weeks ago regarding 9 target schools. While it seems generally simple, there are so many options for schools out there regardless of rank that fall within those ranges. Helpful tips and tricks that can help us narrow down that list would be great. I am wanting to be a Navy JAG after school, thus there is no real "specialization" that I am looking as most schools offer avenues for me to refine the craft that the Navy is looking for in clubs, clinics, debate teams, etc.
I understand that visits can be helpful, but I can not afford to visit all the law schools that I am interested in. Maybe codes of conduct in reaching out to schools to express interest before we have an LSAT score?
Thanks @jonahgriego643 ! What else would you (or anyone) like to hear us talk about?
Hope to see some of you there tonight! Selene and I will be discussing what to do when you're waitlisted. Julian Morales will join us in two weeks!
Thanks for last nights session!
For a podcast topic I am interested in: how to craft a Diversity Statement that compliments your personal statement but avoids being redundant.
Totally recommend the podcast with @naomiavery410 about his score jump from a 148 to a 174! This was the most recent 7sage podcast that I listened to, but really helped narrow down how different strategies are needed for different score jumps (what you employ to jump from 150 to 160, isn't the same strategy that'll get you to a 170). It was also a motivation boost considering my original diagnostic a while back was also a 148!
Thanks @saraheshera308 !
Please join me and @stevencamendola43 for office hours on November 28 at 9 ET!
I've posted the webinar from November 7: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/webinar/office-hours-with-david-and-selene-nov-7-2018/
How much do would it cost to have you look at my personal statement and get feedback.?
@vrendonvasquez562 we decided not to clog the feed, so no. We're planning on releasing one more podcast later in the year with excerpts from all of them.
@davidbusis895 Will each of these be turned into a podcast like the one from a couple weeks ago?
