A 174 isn't necessary nor sufficient hehe
@beepbopboop probably necessary unless u got a urm/t1 softs
@JerryTianleChen By definition that makes it not necessary.
@ZaneClezie for most of us we can't change our softs too much so I think it would be necessary for us right?
Well, yeah, let's be real, if I'm an admissions officer and I can tell that someone's essay is written with AI, why would I care what their LSAT is if they don't put a bare modicum of effort into showing me that they want to go to school at my establishment?
Man even a 174 ain't enough 😭 how cooked are the rest of us
@JerryTianleChen very much so lmao
@JerryTianleChen No, trust gang 😂💯💯 We’re gonna make it 😂🔥
ugh, if I am cooked, stick a fork in me. I am doneeeeee
Loved this. P.S. I agree art passages are booooooring as hell
Hi , I live in USA now, but I was born in another country in south America. My degree if from my home country. That would make my application more difficult? do I even have a chance?
@Crisella so im a US citizen by birth, but my family raised me in pakistan. i went to a british online university thru a certified teaching center in pakistan. i had to get my british uni to mail transcripts to lsac for the CAS that "translates" your grades to a label like "average" "below average" "above average" "Exceptional."
Law schools will get a brief explanation of how these grades work. CRUCIALLY, this label does not get reported to the schools medians, which means that it will matter less to them if they are sensitive about medians. therefore, your LSAT and personal statement become more important. however, having that international background can be an interesting soft, especially if you can spin it as something that gave you lived experience.
i wrote an addendum about my grades to explain them better, personally, since my british uni made a point of giving A+s SO RARELY that they are called distinctions and only a few students across the world get them per year.
you definitley have a chance so don't feel discouraged :)
@zunair Thank you for inspiring me to keep going. I really appreciate! 🤞
Is 7Sage attending every LSAC forum? Namely Toronto? 👀
