Hey there!

So, I have a 3.78 GPA from my degree granting institution, but a 3.59 GPA overall due to my first year of school (3.11 GPA at a diff school). I am writing an addendum, as I experienced extreme harassment by faculty at my first educational institution, which drove me to leave/enabled me to leave with my first semester of sophomore year erased from my transcript as well as my tuition.

Year 1: 3.11 GPA

Year 2 (new institution, 1 semester): 3.67 GPA

Year 3: 3.82 GPA

Year 4: 3.80 GPA

I'm really hoping that this doesn't kill my ability to get into some good schools (UofM and NYU primarily). I know it means I'll want to get in their 75%+ LSAT percentile, but do you think that now these schools should be considered a reach for me?

Gah. I'm so upset that I didn't ask them to erase my freshman year too when I left, as I was extremely affected throughout that year too.

Hey, maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but is there a way to access the past chats that pop up when you log into 7sage?

.

Good morning everyone, I have a little concern . I did update my iPhone and my iPad yesterday and since I cannot access the course material. I would like to know if anybody else is having the same problem.

Thanks

Guys, I really need you to help me with advice/strategy/tips on how to move forward.

I took September 2016 LSAT and did 154 on official which was right my average. My diagnostic was 142. I did get accepted to top 25 and got waitlisted and then dinged from Columbia in early August (yes, they dragged my ass for long time).

Fast forward to current day, my average is 166. I hit 167 couple times. My breakown is -2LG, -5RC -10LR.

My GPA is 4.07 and I really want to get into top school, thats why I am not giving up and kept working to improve. I am registered for June LSAT. I desperately need to hit that 170.

Please guys, help a girl out here. I am not URM, one year out of college now.

I’ve heard from the inter webs that Georgetown only mails acceptances (as in, no email or call) is that true?

I've heard of different strategies on when to bubble in guesses for the questions you skipped and wanted to know which people tend to prefer doing. It also freaked me out after hearing about someone getting kicked out during testing because he was caught bubbling in guesses for a previous section.

Obviously deposit deadlines are coming up (one of mine is April 16) and while I understand there's still a few days left before that, I truly have not heard from any other schools other than one acceptance and one waitlist. I'm waiting on about 14 other schools and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I applied right at deadline but the deposit deadlines still don't change. If I don't hear back by a school's "known" deposit deadline, should I just assume I've been rejected?

Hello everybody, as law school approaches I get more and more worried about my possible success in school, and an article in Above The Law exacerbated those fears. The article said that, of surveyed Harvard Law students: "25% suffered from depression, 24.2% suffered from anxiety, 20.5% said they were at a heightened risk for suicide, 66% said that they experienced new mental health challenges during law school, 61.8 percent said they had frequent or intense imposter syndrome experiences at school, and 8.2 percent stated they had zero people they could open up to about their most private feelings without having to hold back." I can upload a link but I am not familiar with the forum rules regarding outside links.

What are ways that a student can address these possible problems if they arose? And what are ways that we can help our fellow students who may suffer from any one of these?

Hi - I'm trying to access PT 35 but all the PTs are greyed out. I'm looking under "course" and then "extensions and prep tests". I have the Ultimate+. Can someone help?

Hey everyone,

I am a new mom and I’ve registered the June and July LSAT in NYC. I just wonder if anybody know about LSAC’s Modifications for Nursing Mothers policy. https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/policies/nursing-mothers I am considering to request the modification.I know it sounds good, but since LSAC doesn’t give much detail about it and there is few case for reference, I am concerned if there are any potential drawbacks outweigh the benefits for this request.

According to this policy, LSAC may grant applicants extended or additional breaks for pumping. However, I am not sure if longer break is a good idea. I mean could it take me extra time to re-enter into the exam mindset after the break? Beside, I am also worried if they would put me in a single, separate room to take the test, which could make me feel more nervous.

On the other hand, I am five month after childbirth now. Though it is less painful than the first three months, I do feel uncomfortable for more than 4 hours without pumping.

Since I am a first time taker, I really appreciate any experience or advice sharing. And good luck with all your preparation.

I recently took PT25 and scored 138 under-timed condition ( i guess more than half the test because i ran out of time) and my BR was 156 and my aim score is 160. so i am confuse as to what does these scores show? does this mean i need to focus more on time? what can i do to bring my timed test up? also I plan to take the june test and i no longer have access to the CC because i got sick and forgot to pay before it expired. but i do have detailed notes from the CC and I do have copies of all the LSAT from PT 1-74 and i havent use any of the test from 26 and up. if anyone have any suggestion/methods on how i can improve my score i would love to hear them.

So, I was waitlisted at one of the schools that I am highly interested in. If I eventually get accepted, will I still be eligible for grants and scholarships from that school?

Got waitlisted at William & Mary last week. I admit I applied late and my stats are right in their medians. In addition I am URM with substantial work experience. Anyway, I log on to LSN today and see a 154 with a 3.4 GPA undergrad get accepted without a waitlist offer??? We even submitted our apps around the same time.

Here's the accepted student's profile: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/NCO1996

Sorry - I know this sounds completely narcissistic and obnoxious but...seriously? This whole cycle is just getting at me. If anyone has insight or would care to rant about this cycle...feel free to do so here.

Hey,

Any advice on dealing with GPA addendums that address very sensitive topics?

I went to my first uni for freshman year and into November of sophomore year. Verbal harassment (and a video posted online of him doing it in the name of “education”) was so bad throughout my time there, that the school offered to erase history of me having ever been there my first semester sophomore year (grades and tuition) in exchange for me not pursuing a lawsuit. I’m writing an addendum as the freshman year grades were not representative of my ability, given all I was going through in the classroom (this was a conservatory style program, where you have the same professor for a good chunk of your classes).

At my next university, I earned a 3.79 gpa, inclusive of 15 graduate level credits (this was an academic degree versus music).

My plan is to state the facts clearly and succinctly and then reshare my GPA for my time at the second university.

Hi everyone! First post since becoming a 7Sager last week :)

Does anyone know if the free proctored prep test that Princeton Review periodically provides is the same test each time? I went to a free event months ago (it turned out to be the June 2007 PT) and am signed up for the upcoming test this Saturday.

I just got my first 180 on a practice test and I'm about to pass out from excitement.

Does NYU send out notification if you are under review for first second or third rounds? I saw something on reddit that indicated that NYU applicants can see if they had several “under review” dates. I’ve been “under review” since late Feb, or at least that the status date on my status checker...

I have tried deleting and re-installing the app but the LG’s will not play.

I know it's early to think about this, but what are some typical/ideal jobs for the 1L summer? I know for your 2L summer you should be looking at law firms, but I heard firms are increasingly hesitant to hire 1Ls. Just trying to get idea since I really haven't heard much about the 1L summer.

Any recommendations?

Hey does anyone have good links or a list for the different type of cookie cutter questions? I know there's the oldest trick in the book and the like, but I'm drawing blanks on everything else. I'd love to get as many as these together to drill and foolproof them!

For BR process, can I change answers to all of the questions or only the ones that I circled?

Hi All!

I am retaking the LSAT in June and I am currently studying again but I am retaking some of the more recent PTs that I took over a year ago when I first began studying.

I am a full time teacher and have a part-time job, so I am really busy and have given myself ample time and space to prepare for this test. So far, I have not recalled any of the questions/answers on the PTs I have taken again. Some subject matter does seem familiar, but to be honest it all seems to blend together after a while.

What do you all think? Retake more of the recent PTs (2007-on) for practice, or just go to the older ones, which I have never seen before?

Hey y'all :) I have two quick questions for those of you who, preferably, have bidden farewell to the LSAT after beasting out recently.

First of all, I used to be super impatient with having to wait until thorough BR was over years ago when I was studying for this test. So as much as I wanted to brainwash myself that I was BRing, as soon as I finished a PT, I rushed to the last page and started checking answers. Looking back, I know I shot myself in the foot. (I ended up not taking the LSAT that year. Smart choice.)

Years have passed since then. I started studying a couple of months ago and this time things have changed. I AM TAKING IT REALLY SLOW WHEN IT COMES TO PTs. So I'd do a timed LR or RC section(with a scantron!) and sometimes I check my answers a day or EVEN TWO DAYS LATER. In between, I am writing down how I separated conclusions and premises, any assumptions/patterns/trap answer choices I have noticed that repeatedly occur on the test, which answer choices particularly confused me and WHY I fell for the trap answer choices and HOW I would counter differently if I were to do it again etc. Only then, do I check the answers. Yes, I do this for almost every question except for super obvious MP questions or questions that I was 100% confident with that it took me 10 seconds to finish. As you know very well, this entire process even for a single LR or RC section really takes a long time. Half a day is the minimum on a single timed section. The thing is sometimes I feel as though I'm too comfortable with the waiting process. Is taking a day or two between timed sections laudable or am I taking it too slowly? Granted, taking a long time BRing doesn't always necessarily lead to awesome results but what do you think, Mr./Ms. Gurus?

Second question is shorter: my performance on a few timed LR sections in the late 20s and the 30s onwards have been -5 to -3. BR scores have hit -2 at best(for instance on PT 30). This makes me feel really great. But at the same time I am working on PT 1 to 10 and it gives me a heart attack to see the results: timed scores are -8 to even -15 on a SINGLE LR section(PT 5 to be exact) and BR scores aren't really different from timed scores. I feel as though I'm preparing for a different test when it comes to pre-PT 10s. Are LR sections in the 60s and 70s much more similar to the 30s on which I have been performing well? How much weight would you give to these crappy results from LR sections from the early 1990s? The crazy thing of all is that when I'm going through questions timed, I feel the same. And then the results: bam. -15 and -3 confuse the heck outta me.

Am I on the right path?
