Hi everyone,
I just received notification from Emory stating that my application has been deferred for consideration through the regular decision process. The email was very concise and did not include information on how to update or add to my application. It's also too late for me to take the February LSAT. Any recommendations on how best to proceed?
Thank you!!!
Thank you everyone for the kind words and suggestions :)
Honestly, I'm a huge procrastinator and I worry if I push the test off it will just give me another excuse to delay studying. I'm hoping to take the test for the first time in June and if I'm not 100% happy with my score, I'll still have enough time to sign up for the September exam.
Hi Guys!
I hope anyone reading this is having a fine day. I guess I just wanted to make a post because I've been largely silent in the Discussion section. I'm taking the June LSAT and am feeling quite overwhelmed. Working full time at a stressful job and having a two-hour long commute takes a considerable chunk out of my day. I worry I acted too quickly by signing up for the June exam since I only started studying in mid-February.
I just took my first two PTs and scored158/159, my blind reviews 163/166. With the test a month away... does anyone think I'll be able to catch up to my blind review score? I guess I'm just looking for a bit of encouragement :)
Anyway, my apologies for sounding mopey. Let's end on a happy note. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY STUDIES EVERYONE!!!

I also had 2RC, 2LR and 1LG. I did feel like both of the RC were unusually difficult and time consuming. I can't particularly remember which of the two RCs I did within time and the other I ran out. This was my first time taking the test and honestly I think my nerves got the better of me. My heart was thumping all through the first three sections and I couldn't concentrate properly. Plus (I'm not trying to make excuses for myself) the girl sitting next to me kept reaching into her pocket for m&ms during the test! She's not supposed to eat anything while taking the test, is she? But anyway, her chewing and cracking the packet distracted me a bit. Should I have said something to the examiner? Anyway, first three games were straight forward and I got caught up on the last game :( Anyone have recommendations for which PTs have games similar to the last one?
Yeah i feel the same way. I was just too nervous first three sections. The break was just spent calming myself down. Lmao!!! HOW IS SHE EATING DURING THIS EXAM. that is a skill within itself. Damn.
Right??? I'm like I can't even finish reading and you're over there looking into your pockets for M&Ms??? Magic.

That must've been so annoying. I can't believe people are so selfish and irresponsible about making noises. I could deal with coughing or sneezing(cuz theyre unintentional), but hearing stories like these annoy me so much because I know how mad I would be if I were in that situation. Even small random noises can all of a sudden blank you out and being angry makes you lose focus for like 20~30 seconds, which is a valuable time enuff to read a whole stimulus in LR question.
Exactly :( I definitely blanked during some spots because her chewing and eating irritated me. Once you get distracted, you need to re-read.

SAME. I had multiple 2 or 3's of the same letter in a row and it was making me real nervous
@ said:
I don't know if this is an allowerd question, please delete if it's not. But the last LR with 25 Q's had a lot of straight line bubbling? Or is it only me
same for me--2 and 3's of the same. I was sitting there like WHAT IS THIS SORCERY THIS CAN'T BE

I had LR RC LR LG LR.
My last LR had a question about red light and chlorophyll. My first LR had something about vampires and was the hardest for me. The second LR was the easiest for me (and I think had 26 questions?).
I believe the last LR is real. Do we know whether the first or second LR is experimental?
I had the exact same order and based on the two questions you described, the same order questions within the sections as well. I also felt like the first (vampire one) was the hardest. Fortunately, I believe that was the experimental one. Check on the other thread about which one's are real... I can't quite remember other questions from that first section. Look through that thread and help me out if you can and maybe we can find a way to confirm it was experimental.
really hope your right .. struggled with time management on the first section
I only had two LR sections and I had the red light/chlorophyll plus the vampire one

Thank you so much for sharing! I'm struggling with RC and welcome all tips/advice :smile:
