Speaking of LSAC questions, on the transcript section of the apply tab, my bachelor's degree-granting institution dates of attendance and degree date is incorrect and it won't let me change it and I can't find ANYWHERE how to change it to the correct dates.. Does anyone know how to fix this?

@ well I would usually go over a game I just finished myself first to see if I could figure out where I went wrong like with inferences and time traps etc. and see if I could fix it myself the next time I did that game and if there were still problems the next game I would watch the games video and try it again later. I usually waited a week or two before redoing games but a lot of people review them and redo them directly after doing it the first time and that seems to work for a lot of people. As for review time, it was typically a quick process for me because I could usually spot out the inferences I missed quickly and for the videos take as much time as you need watching and rewatching them as needed

Note: I mentioned earlier that my review process probably ended up causing me extra work in the long run and slowing my overall progess down so in terms of reviewing I would look to some of the already established methods and see how they work for you. The time you have available to study is something you should embrace not avoid when it comes to taking the LSAT because the LSAT cannot be rushed or crammed into memory.

@ well I redid the LG section of each preptest I took only once so that's 40 total sections and drilled15-20 LG sections x2-3 so that's 30-60 sections which adds up to between 280 to 400 total individual games. Keep in mind this is my own individual pace until I reached consistency, your pace may be completely different, and honestly I couldve picked it up sooner had I reviewed better.

As for your second question I started out struggling with both time and inferences. As I practiced I got more comfortable with making quicker inferences and eliminating wrong answer choices faster which lead to an improvement in time

@ Nailed it. There's a fine line between arrogance and confidence in what you've learned and trained for. Very solid test day advice!

If you've already got the general idea of how to do logic games, like gameboard setup, inferences, etc. down then all it takes is practice practice practice. How much time and practice will you have to put in for a consistent timed -0/-2? Well that varies from person to person. I drilled around 15-20 LG sections 2 or 3 times each and took around 20 PTs before I was consistently at -2 on LG. Try to do any logic game you can get your hands on (the Sep 2016 LSAT virus game taught me this unfortunate lesson haha) always review and always redo if you don't 110% understand why each right answer is right and why each wrong answer is wrong.

I personally think the stigma of the 70s being harder than the 60s leads some preptesters to lower scores because they're automatically assuming the exams get more difficult which can lead to overthinking or undecisiveness on some of the newer tests questions. I personally scored higher on my 70s PTs and BRs than on the 60s but granted that I only took half of the 70s (74-77) that isn't completely representative. With that being said, your PT plan for the 60s and 70s is a great one in that it may help you eliminate that stigma of the 70s being tougher than the 60s which can further help your confidence on exam day because you'll know that the LSAT you're about to take is fundamentally the same as all the preptests you've already taken, it's just an early preview of the next official preptest LSAC will release.

OP, your numbers are very very strong and you will almost certainly get an interview with both schools. Blow them away with your interview and you will have nothing to worry about!

@ Get Right You are 100% correct, I wasn't completely clear with my statement. Of course every single law school has some picking and choosing to do between applicants that fall in between the 25th and 75th percentile. What I was trying to say is that T14 law schools place more emphasis on extracurricular activities than the majority of other law schools do because they know people are going to apply with high numbers. For example if you apply to a T50 law school they are mainly looking at your numbers and if both your LSAT score and UGPA are above their respective medians they won't place as much emphasis on extracurriculars because they are trying boost their own stats. But a T14 law school will take a closer look and place much more emphasis on all applicants extracurriculars unless the applicant greatly exceeds their respective 75th percentile. In other words, strong extracurriculars matter more if your numbers fall below a T14 law schools 75th percentile and strong extracurriculars matter more if your numbers fall below a T50 law schools median. Once you get past the T14 it becomes more or less a numbers game besides LoRs and your personal statement which is an important aspect of every application.

This question leads to a broader question of whether or not law schools in general actually care about extracurricular activities at all. With all the research that I've done, it seems to me that law schools look at your numbers compared to their medians first and foremost and if you're applying to a T14 law school, they only look at your extracurriculars secondarily if your numbers fall below their 75th percentile of LSAT scores and UGPA.

I agree with @ what gets me is that I'll get the first 15-20 right and then miss 3-5 of the remaining questions on each section.. it gets really frustrating haha

@ said:

I'd be very sure about the GPA condition and your anticipated ability to maintain it prior to signing on the dotted line. I'd research other people's experiences / stories as it applies to conditional scholarships and the reality of the law school curve.

I just found information on their website. Their median GPA is 3.0 and the minimum you can have to retain any scholarship is a 2.5. About 1 in 6 lose their scholarships each year.

With your acceptance to UCLA, congratulations by the way, you could probably get them to take that stipulation off completely but nonetheless it seems like a great offer.

If you have a US News account, or there may be other sources but I'm not sure, you can check what percentage of students each law school offers greater than half but less than full tuition, full, and greater than full tuition scholarships too which may help in getting a better idea of just how good their offer was relative to every one else they offer. Sadly some law schools don't give out full tuition scholarships :(

@ Thank you that does help :) I can't seem to find anything on their website about class GPA's or scholarship retention. Hopefully that info will be in the acceptance packet or contract.

@ 163

@ That's what I'm leaning towards and as far as I know the only string attached is a minimum GPA requirement. I haven't receieved the actual contract in the mail yet though so I'm not 100% sure - I've just got an email.

I have no idea if they can see when it was deactivated but I'm sure they can find out during the application process by asking you why you don't have social media, when you deleted it, etc. and it probably wouldn't be best to lie haha also it probably wouldn't be good to say I deleted it right before applying and they ask why and you essentially say so you guys wouldn't see anything and deny or rescind my admission so this really is a tricky topic @

I deleted all social media four years ago. At first it really sucked but now I believe its left me in a better position because now I get information from actual sources and articles and not in 140 characters or less from just anyone. Also its kept me from posting things about heated topics that I know I would've ended up regetting later. As for deleting it right before applying to law school that might seem kind of fishy but it really is a judgement call. If your social media is clean then you have nothing to worry about but in today's climate you never know what someone might find offensive and attempt to hold against you. If you do decide to delete it just make sure you have a way to keep in contact with your family and friends :)

@

Thank you :) No I wouldn't mind working in the region. It says 70% are employed 10 months after graduation with 58% of those working in law firms, 21% in business, 10% in government, and 8% in judicial clerkships.

Totally guessing here..I think we'll get a -12 curve. Optimistic I know haha but wow at that RC section

Im in the same boat as you guys.. I pretty much guessed on all the second passage questions then ran out of time with 5 questions left on the last passage so I had to guess on those.. Ive been averaging -5 on the PrepTests but I honestly could have missed 12 on this section

Almost positive if you had LR RC LR LG LR that the first LR was experimental

No scores in Alabama

Its unlikely they'll be released on a national holiday although I hope they do, anyways I'm betting on tomorrow because they're usually released before the projected dates. Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans!
