I believe I have a strange situation regarding my LSAC GPA calculation. In high school I took dual-credit courses with the local junior college that partnered with my HS. We could take these courses that would give us college credit but would not count towards our college GPA; instead, the grade we received counted towards our HS GPA. The JC represented these courses on the transcript as a 'B' that was not calculated in the GPA and my University did the same with the added detail that it was a transfer credit from the JC. However, LSAC included these B's in my cumulative GPA. The coincidental part is that my cumulative GPA is the same whether or not those grades are included in the calculation since my cumlative GPA is a 3.03. The only difference if these grades are included is that some semesters they decrease my cumulative and other semesters they increase my cumulative. If I had actually studied in college and had a 4.0 I would be pissed that these B's were included in my cumulative when I actually earned A's as far as my HS is concerned, but since it's the same either way I don't know what I should do. Should I contact LSAC or the JC to say that these grades should not be included in the cumulative calculation? I would think it would look better to Law Schools if these courses were just listed as credits instead of B's even though the ending cumulative GPA calculation is the same no matter what.

Anyone have any thoughts on this confusing situation? Thanks!

Hello everyone I'm new here if there is anyone in the Atlanta area that would like to bounce ideas off each and self correct please let me know. . I'm better with another person???

I know speed comes with accuracy, but I am having trouble over 15 questions per LR section. I usually run out of time between 13-15 questions. I know I can't answer every single question, but I at least would like to have time to answer 20 per LR and I'll take random guesses with the remaining ones

How long did it take LSAC to process your transcript??

I've seen a lot of predictions for LSAT score release being 12/31. How is this possible since LSAC is is closed 12/24-1/4?

.

Does anyone know what the protocol is for requesting late applications to be considered for review? i.e. University of Toronto & Osgoode Law Schools.

I'm awaiting the Dec. LSAT score release and hoping to go the a U.S. school but am applying to local institutions as a safety net and can't gather much from relevant information from their websites.

Does one just send an e-mail requesting a late application to be considered and wait for a response or is it best to send the e-mail with unofficial transcripts and resumé attached?

Thanks so much advance!!

Hi!

I kind of thought I would never make this post. I'm a long time 7Sage user!

I wasn't going to apply this cycle (I thought my LSAT was too low), but my boss urged me to apply and I was accepted early in the cycle yesterday. :)

I could not have done it without 7Sage and this amazing community of people.

& I am so happy I never have to touch an LSAT book again. :) mwahaha. I'm also from Canada :). YAY ok. Thanks 7Sage!!!

Anyone impacted by this? This would be my absolute worst nightmare.

I am getting really flustered to be completely honest. I am not getting much better at this test due to the fact that I just tend to overthink every single thing. There are so many drawbacks to that 1. I run out time because obviously if I am overthinking everything, I will never have enough time 2. Because I am over thinking I am almost always changing from the right to the wrong answer because I wrongly make wrong answer sound right by doing this overthinking process. It sounds practically insane to ask someone how to get over this "overthinking" mindset, but I am going to ask anyway. Has anyone ever gone through this experience, or is going through this experience, and how did you, are how are you, getting over it. This over thinking process is very prevalent in my BR where I have unlimited time to think about the answer.

Hey,

I know that there were lessons on denying existential quantifiers, but I couldn't find one for the universal quantifiers...

Can you please tell me how to deny statements with existential quantifiers?

Thanks

Will it hurt me if I don't fill out the areas that I am not required to fill out on an application?

I was just curious if anyone knows much about the loan forgiveness for those who opt to practice public interest law. Is it a program sponsored by the individual schools, the employers (gvmt, non-profit etc)? Do you know if there are a lot of restrictions involved? Is anyone planning on utilizing this option?

So where is the key piece of evidence that I should really focus on in this question? The conditional is throwing me off.

If I have someone writing a rec letter, is he allowed to submit two letters (one that is school specific and one that is general for all law schools)? Would I send him the rec letter request twice?

Please let me know!!

Hey friends—

I'm working on a special something-something. I need your help!

In the comments, please share (ranging from one-word answers to full lengthy posts) your answer[s] to this question:

What makes 7sage unique?

Here are some examples:

—Complicated ideas broken down in simple digestible language.

—A dose of inspiration to help you push through the pain and self-doubt.

—An honest approach that presumes that you have the capacity to understand even the hardest questions on the LSAT.

But we want to know ... what makes 7sage unique FOR YOU? Any part of the 7sage experience—from the analytics to the forums to the problem sets to the Dragon Ball analogies.

So, thus far I've figured out one of my biggest problems is that I have trouble taking PTs as if it were a real test day setting. I was looking for courses that just offered weekly live-proctor settings, unfortunately I had no such luck (unless I were to enroll in a full course, and sell a kidney).

Does anyone know of a course or group that does just live proctored LSAT PTs? If not, would anyone in the San Antonio - Austin area be interested in getting together every so often (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly even) to take live proctored PTs??

I know of a few class rooms here in San Antonio we can use, and a few people willing to proctor. I did this alone once and it went really well. But I figure if I'm going to go through the trouble of setting up live proctored PTs, other people should benefit too.

Any who, I'd appreciate it if someone let me know if they know of groups out there already meeting for PTs, or if anyone is interested in starting one. :)

I'm currently scoring in the low 160s, aiming for a 170. I want to know what you guys do for skipping questions and when you skip questions in LR. Do you usually read the stimulus and immediately skip if you didn't understand, etc? Do you not skip until you read the answer choices? Is there some type of strategy where you do all the easier ones like 1-14 and then the last 2-3 questions in the section which tend to be easier. Thanks

Also, I'd like to know if most are you are reading the stimulus once, twice, three times, etc in general to answer a tougher ?.

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if anyone could share some insight on their strategy for Feb. I took the test in Dec. but cancelled the score. Anyway, I was averaging around 164/168BR through pt 69, then dipped to 160/164BR through Pts 70-76. I believe I have a stronghold over LR.. I feel like I just haven't fully adjusted to the nuances with the 70+ tests. That's not to say they're harder per se, but one can't deny a subtle shift in LR stimuli and harder RC passages --- sans the most recent administration ;) . I average around -5.4 for LR, -7.4 for games... and -9.7 for RC on PTs 70-76. Where do you guys think I can gain the biggest improvement in time for the feb exam? Should I focus on games? I know I can do better with RC, but I feel like I can make quicker gains in the other sections... thoughts? Should I start PTing asap or in Jan?

Hello Fellow 7Sagers,

I was recently emailed by the Georgetown Law Admissions Office asking if I would like to participate in an in-person interview with an alumni from the Law Center (of course I said yes!). I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight into the kinds of questions to expect or were actually asked during the interview. Thanks in advance!

I started prepping for the LSAT about 2 weeks ago in hopes of being ready for the Feb 2016 test and apply late in the cycle. I've been going through the video lecture (about 20 hours in) and just took my first PT (2007 LSAC Practice Test) this morning. I scored 164 which was a little disappointing since I am aiming to score 99% (174+). What is a realistic score increase by the February exam date assuming I continue to study 3-5 hours a day (I have a full time job)?
