Check the box, it's really just used for statistical purposes after admission decision has been made. A few schools I've applied to had the responses to that section hidden from the actual PDF application being sent for the adcom to review.

@alejoroarios925 @gregoryalexanderdevine723 –

Thanks for the additional feedback! I've added another sentence to the end to that affect.

@rachel649 @gregoryalexanderdevine723 @alejoroarios925 –

Thank you all so much for your feedback! I've incorporated the suggestions into a new version I've included below, please let me know if you have any other suggestions!

------------------------------------------------------------

During the June 2016 LSAT administration, I encountered circumstances that resulted in a score I feel is not reflective of my true abilities. A two-hour delay between entering the testing room and beginning the first section of the exam, without access to water or a restroom, caused me to become severely dehydrated as the exam progressed. The negative effects of dehydration on my performance is clearly evidenced by my results on the final section, which included more incorrect answers than the first three scored sections combined.

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 @alejoroarios925 Thank you guys for your advice on this, I think I'm just going to be forthcoming with everything. Ultimately, I think allowing the adcom to paint a more holistic picture of your life is probably best, rather than leaving elements of your background out.

Thank you guys for the feedback! Can't believe I missed the length of that dash. As for the "Business Liaison, Member", I used a comma in this entry and not the other because the "Business Liaison is a title/position for the org's executive board, and "Member" is another title/position indicating my membership status in the organization. I've used this combination in the past, because we also have many people that attempt to meet membership status, called "Candidates", who can also serve on the executive board.

Thank you for your feedback! I was just at the university a semester before transferring for pretty normal reasons; I originally had another bullet beneath "President's list..." that read something like:

"Transferred to The State University of New York in January 2015"

I removed this because it seemed like David's instructions in the admissions course indicated that a transfer should only be emphasized if it's to a better school. Would be curious to hear more opinions on including/omitting that bullet included above.

Looking forward to this, is it okay to join the call after 4p?

@conraddnoronha90 well LR I get around 1-3 wrong per section. In RC somedays I manage to get all correct in blind review, but on most days not a lot. Improving on RC can be the real game changer for me.

It sounds like your issue is probably more with speed/habits, rather than a lack of understanding of questions. I would suggest recording yourself taking sections and getting an RC specific tutor (the real kind, not the Kaplan kind). Try checking out this webinar to start:

Can't really provide a comparison between the two, but I thought Powerscore RC Bible was worthless. Powerscore LG Bible was overly complex and focuses on a lot of methods that most people completely abandoned in practice.

What are your LR scores like? Do you blind review RC sections? If so, what are your BR scores in RC? ...These questions will help to narrow down what your possible issues with RC are.

I use a GoPro Session w/ 64GB microSD, usually holds 6-7 sections recording at 1080p/30fps. and upload to YouTube as an unlisted or private video. Uploading from a coffee shop is likely to take wayyyyyyy to long, unless its a Starbucks on the east coast with Google Fiber (I think that is a thing in some cities). University or work is going to be your best option, any internet connection below 75-100 Mbps is going to take forever to upload a 35 minute HD video to any online service. Try using speedtest.net to check the internet speeds in any locations you have access to and use the network with the highest upload speed. I always go to my university to upload, because at 500Mbps upload, its literally over 100x faster than my connection at home.

1+ on Nicole Hopkins for RC tutoring, her site is http://ilovelsat.com

I feel like I should remember this from June, but was there a survey on the inside of the test booklet anywhere? The only question I remember answering was about the test prep materials/methods. Our proctor ran through the answer sheet/booklet instructions super fast, so I could have missed something. Will this be an issue with scoring, release timeliness?

Virus Game = 5 or 6 questions? I thought it was only 19-23.

Computer Viruses completely killed my score, probably went -4/3 on that game. I know this gets said almost every exam, but it was honestly the hardest game I've ever seen. Very unique game, the only thing I've seen thats even close is PT72 Game 4. Although it's even more difficult than PT72 Game 4, because of the one-to-many relationships possible for several items.

Thank you! haha

I started recording last month when I started prepping for my Sept. retake, I didn't do it at all before then. So far it's been very helpful!

Here's my setup:

-GoPro Hero4 Session

-SanDisk Extreme Pro 64 GB microSD (Don't skimp on the SD if you go the GoPro route, only get one of the recommended SD cards by GoPro.)

-Desktop Boom Mic Stand

-GoPro Tripod Mount

-Thread Adapter Mic-Tripod

Setup:

Screenshot from footage:

As someone who is constantly reminded by their phone about a lack of available memory, freeing up a couple gig every time I want to record a PT was going to be difficult. This setup might be a bit over the top, but I knew if I tried to DIY the mount it would end up a bit messier, and would therefore be a distraction whenever I was taking a PT. I also ended up just getting a folding-leg table to use exclusively for PTs, I didn't like taking them on "normal" desks, I like everything LSAT related to be dedicated-use only.

I agree with @allisongillsanford643.gill.sanford and @ngir1293288 . A diversity statement has a pretty specific purpose. Your experience as a yoga instructor and having a traumatic brain injury are attributes that help to make you unique from other applicants, but do not equate to diversity. This would be ideal for a personal statement, which should underscore your uniqueness as an applicant. Adding to what @allisongillsanford643.gill.sanford said - If you're a white woman and include this as a diversity statement, I think that many application readers would read it as detachment, not diversity; it would undoubtedly damage your overall application. Generally yoga is also not an inexpensive pursuit and achieving that certification likely required a 4-figure expense, which is why it would read particularly bad - as privilege, not overcoming obstacles.

I don't mean for any of this to come off as personally offensive, I just wanted to illustrate how it will likely be perceived.

@enoah24890 Very true, 168ish was my goal. You?

@enoah24890 It will really come down to RC, skipped/guessed on 2 and was unsure on around 8 more throughout other passages, so it could really be anything.

@enoah24890 Nice, I heard it could be one of two rooms, wasn't about to roll the dice on that one. I think I saw you on the study buddies thing on here, nice to see another 7sager in Toledo!

@enoah24890 Did you take at UT? I switched test centers because the desks there are so small.

I'll be in!
