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?
Hi! I was wondering how I could apply my Phi Alpha Delta one month extension to my account?

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'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.
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.
I have tried deleting and re-installing the app but the LG’s will not play.
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,
I haven't posted here in a very long time. I got accepted into my top choice/the school where I currently live (thank you 7 sage) and got a small scholarship offer. I'd like to try and negotiate for more money, but the problem is, I didn't apply anywhere else. I have nothing to compare my offer to. I figured if I didn't get in I'd sit out a cycle and try again. My numbers are both above the school's 75th percentiles. How should I go about asking? Should I even bother? Not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, I'm sorry if I didn't!
Thanks!!
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...
Hi Everybody,
I am looking for some advice about applying for LSAT Accommodations. I know that there have been posts in the past about accommodations (and I have read all of them several times over), but it's a topic that hasn't been discussed in about 2 years. Thus a lot of those that had advice are already in law school and no longer on 7Sage.
Background: I have had a neurological disability since childhood that has become very severe in the last 5 years, and it has impaired my cognition significantly. I have been under the care of neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and other specialists for several years now, and I know all of them would be willing to write letters recommending that I receive extra time on the LSAT. However, I did not receive accommodations on the SAT/ACT because, frankly, I didn't know that was an available option when I was in high school. I also did not apply for accommodations when I took the LSAT in Sept 2014 because the law school adviser I was getting help from at the time discouraged me from applying for the accommodations because, according to her, having the *** next to my name that told the law school admissions panels that I was disabled was worse than a lower score.
All of that being said, does anyone have any tips or advice for applying to try and get accommodations this time around? Or any opinions on whether you think I should even take the time to apply or think I have any shot at having the accommodations granted?
I ran through the whole 7 sage course (without PTing) and then I decided to hold off the LSAT and now I started to review all the concepts all over again. I've noticed that I improved a little bit (re-taking Problem Sets), but not a lot. I am not really sure how to study for it, anymore. If anyone can please give me tips or help me create a study schedule that would be great.
I just got my first 180 on a practice test and I'm about to pass out from excitement.
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!
I access my account, the silent questions show as playing, nothing appears but a dark screen??
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.

Hey everyone-
I've been using start class rankings for sometime but I'm getting an error today and info the site no longer has the law school info.
Was anyone else using this and any ideas what happened?
Any recommendations?
Hi guys, I am mostly just wondering what others’ experience was and whether I should be thinking about changing techniques/getting a tutor or whether this is to be expected. I have been studying for a June retake and have taken 4 prep tests so far, scores have been: 163,162,166 and 163. As you can see they’re kind of dwindling within a certain range. I am hoping to get to the 168-170 range by June and am wondering whether to put any stock in the fluctuation in scores or treat it as normal? From BR (ranges from 169 to 174), I’ve realized that my biggest problem right now is timing (missing questions I would’ve gotten right simply because I never even read them) and then making some stupid errors. Wondering what your experience was in increasing your scores.
As always, thank you for your insight!!
Hello,
Has anyone experienced a plateauing effect when PTing in the high 150s? I need some study advice and how best to move forward since I am working a 9 - 5 and need to allocate my time wisely until the June LSAT. Currently here is my situation:
Basically, I am wondering how to move forward given my sporadic scores. I am wondering if I should devote the majority of my time to improving the LG section (its currently my weakest at -8 consistently)? But, I fear that devoting all of my studying to LG will cause my LR and RC sections to decline as a direct result as well and me netting the same scores.
I am just asking what has worked for others in the past and is it realistic to score into the 170s by June devoting 10-15 hrs a week?
For BR process, can I change answers to all of the questions or only the ones that I circled?
Curious to know what you all are doing to combat burnout!! Not looking for general advice about burnout, I just want to know what YOU are doing! You're my motivation :)
I am taking June so I have ~10 wks until the test and I feel like every second of studying counts but at the same time I am currently feeling heavy burnout. I am trying to take frequent breaks (a few hours or so) throughout the week to deal with it but today I feel like I need the whole weekend off. I just want to meditate and online shop haha
I'm assuming at least a few of you are in a similar position - whether it's feeling burned out, feeling guilty for taking breaks, or just generally feeling the weight of the coming test (lol I'm calling it dooms day).
What's your plans for the next 10 weeks to maximize learning/brain space and avoid burnout??
