Hi all,

I just finished the MSS section and didn't do poorly, but didn't get complete 5/5 on most problem sets. Should one continue to work on these questions before moving on to another section? I don't want to rush through material if I am not solid in other areas. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hi,

I was looking at the Preview App feature and saved documents in Word, but can reformat if needed, maybe to PDFs, and when I paged through an application, there were some blank pages, I think because the essays would have elapsed onto a new page if they were a little longer. I'll try to reformat later, but does anyone have other strategies that can be used to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in Criminal law. My goal after law school is to get lots of experience working as an ADA before moving into the federal arena. Does anyone know a website where I can compare the salaries of ADAs across states? It appears the average starting salary is about 63k a year. However that 63k translates differently given the varying costs of living.

Really trying to find that sweet spot a low cost of living and average salary...and avoid staying in my hometown, which is Baltimore MD.

Ironically, Baltimore City ADAs make 63k, the cost of living is manageable, and there's plenty of crime to keep me busy.

Any other states I should look at for law school?

I wont be taking the LSAT anytime soon, I'm just curious.

What's the atmosphere like in the testing center? Is it like a classroom? cubicles? Do different test centers have different max capacity for number of people to take the test? How long is it before we actually start circling the bubbles in (from the time we walk in and sit down)? Do we have enough space between the takers? (I find it harder to focus if I sit close to someone who breathes loudly or shakes their legs) The more specific you could be in sharing your experience the better, I'm interested in the smallest details, Thanks!

Secondly, how similar is the 7SAGE digital format to the actual test? (I love the sound effect e.g. coffee shop noises, it's unfortunate we are not allowed headphones :p) Are we able to change font size and the background colors, etc? I use mini ipad to do problem sets on 7SAGE, how does this compare to the tablet in terms of size, ability to write on, and flagging questions to skip, etc?

P.S

I live in Fairfax, VA. About 20 minutes from DC. For people who's taken LSAT in the DMV area, which ones are your favorite and which ones should I avoid?

Thank you all!

Hey there,

I've been looking over the LSAC website and noticed their list of schools in Canada that offer a J.D and the list of schools in Australia that offer a J.D as well.

Is it really possible for me as an American to attend a law school in another country, attain a degree and then practice law and live there?? If so, I'm really going to consider it.

Any help would be appreciated, and while I wait for a response I'll see what google has to say haha.

Thanks in advance.

I was WL by HLS. Really happy!

If anyone has experiences of what it is like to be on wait list for HLS schools, LMK.

Already submitted my LOCI. My favorite professor at Columbia University (got an A+ and worked alot together this year) wants to submit another letter of rec because she did not write one since i was not done with her course during my application period. Even tho HLS generally advises against this, should I do it? Should I call them up to ask or just send in a compelling LOR?

It is currently April 5, 2020. I am taking the LSAT for the first time August 28th. I am also planning on taking the October 3rd test. For my study schedule, should I put my "end" date as August 27th or October 2nd? I originally put August 27th but then I thought I should spread it out so I am still actively studying up until the October 3rd test. Should I put my "end date" somewhere between the two exams?

Hi all,

I was originally in the April test and am still eligible for the flex. I will be retaking the lsat and have had horror stories with test centers and I have issues with the back half of the test. Should I request the flex as i can control test spot and it is a sprint? I see the downsides as a tough curve and me studying for a curtailed test. Is it worth it? logic games is my strength at -2-5 and LR -4-6 and RC is most wild as -3-7.

LSAT

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of companies that will give discounted or even free prep material if I was approved for the LSAC fee waiver?

Please detail any information you feel is pertinent to me as it will be much appreciated. Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how the LSAT-flex will be scored? If it’s on the same scale as the regular LSAT does that mean we can miss about 8 questions and still get a 170? Thank you!

Dear all,

I am usually a logic games guru but the prep test 75 i was complete garbage. idk why but i could not figure out the games in time. Does anyone have any knowledge as to why the pt 75 games are harder.

Is it advisable to make a light hearted joke at the beginning of a personal statement? Something that draws the reader in and plays a part in the picture I'm trying to paint. I'm just not sure if it's advisable or not, but if anyone can chime in their two cents it would be appreciated.

This is the sentence for context: I vividly remember May 24th, 2014, partially because it was my mother’s birthday and I knew she wouldn’t let me live it down if I forgot it two years in a row, but mainly because it was the last day to submit courses....

I don't know if this is possible, or something others have requested in the past (I didn't see any previous requests for it), but I would love to have my settings from my previous quiz saved when I move on to the next one. Or even if there was just an option to "Use Presets" from before so I could activate them in one click — that would be simply magical.

Here are the settings I'm referring to, if you're not familiar:

Ideally, I'd like to be able to automatically activate fullscreen mode (1 click), coffee shop background noise (2 more clicks), select a highlighter (1 more click), and set the font size to "small" (2 more clicks). For those of you counting along, that's 6 clicks for each quiz, before starting the quiz. That can get to be a lot if you're doing 15 quizzes in a row (lookin' at you, Weaken Questions section...).

Obviously, this isn't a "required" feature — just something that would be nice to have. I don't know if there's anywhere to "officially" request features aside from the "Contact Us" option, but I thought I'd see if anyone else thought this might be useful.

What do you think? Would this be helpful for you, or am I alone in this desire?

Hey guys! Hope you are safe and healthy.

I am waitlisted at a T3 school. I have scoured archived Reddit posts, Spivey’s site, 7Sage, and countless blogs. I am basically trying to get a sense from individuals who have been in a similar situation and come out successfully of what you did to better your odds.

I know the basics of sending a tailored, to-the-point LOCI. However, on other things like phone calls I am less clear. I know that with phone contact less is more, however given that visits are unavailable it seems making at least one phone call attempt may be a good idea (and this school seems okay with that, based on their available waitlist information).

I am also considering an additional letter of recommendation as well as an LSAT retake. I know there are numerous things one can do, but I just wanted a general sense of someone’s “playbook.”

Also, please let me know the nature of the correspondence, when you were waitlisted, and when you were finally accepted. Thanks!
