23/M. I graduated from CSU Stanislaus with a dual-degree in Criminal Justice and Political Science - concentrations in Legal Studies and International Relations. I was extremely active on campus, having been involved with over 10 different organizations, and was elected President for multiple organizations. I currently am an Intern for a Congressman and for the District Attorney's Office (transitioning into full-time with the DA's).

2) My GPA. I was so fixated on having two degrees that I received more B's as I took 18-22 units each semester.

3) As generic as this may be, 1) First member in my family to attend and graduate college. 2) Diversity? I am Assyrian with a quarter Armenian. I speak three languages. The crux of my personal statement will revolve around Perseverance.

4) No, this is my first time!

I am more interested in understanding the advantage of applying before thanksgiving (without your score). I just assumed applying contingent on your score will not be in your favor, but please do elaborate. I would love to have everything submitted before the holiday. @

@ @ My target score is 160+. I did not feel as comfortable as I hoped after the test. I was comfortable with the material, nothing blind-sided me; however, I could not focus. This, perhaps, may have been from all the anxiety. That being said, I actually want to take the December LSAT - just curious if I should keep the September score. By the way, thank you for your response.

I'm currently contemplating cancelling my score. I received no sleep the night before and could not focus starting out. In addition to that, I had to guess on the last section of LG (5 or 6 questions). My only concern and question is, how do schools view a cancellation? On the other hand, if I keep the score and get lower than expected, will schools average the September and December score or take higher? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hi all. Quick question - this may be rhetorical, but the proctor told me in a jokingly and nifty way might I add, that I will know which section is purely experimental based on how "easy" it is. Thoughts? Any validity here? I may still be recovering from Saturday so excuse me if I seem paranoid haha. I received three LR sections. Really thought I excelled in a specific section and am hoping it may have been non-experimental.

Please remove comment if deemed necessary. Lastly, #TeamHilltop

Studying for Dec LSAT

Message me if you'd like to voice, FaceTime, or Skype to bounce information off each other. I tend to study better this way. Would be nice to also take individual timed sections and discuss answers.

If one-on-one studying already exists on 7Sage, please direct me. :)

@ I cannot vouch for all schools; however, in most cases, your application will be set aside until that school receives your updated score. At this point, your application is considered "complete." It is best to reach out to the school(s) you are applying to and confirm with them.

On your application, you will come across a section that allows you to indicate that you are taking a future LSAT. I would think this would suffice, but for your peace of mind, as stated above, email the school(s) and let them know.

Also, @ has provided great insight in previous posts regarding the benefits of applying before the "holiday season."

"When a student registers for a future LSAT, the admissions team will hold on reviewing the application until a new score is received."

- This will be the typical response you will receive. You may apply contingent on your December test score. You will need to indicate that you are taking a later test date on Application ___ and so forth.

I began with the Trainer and am now in the process with 7Sage. Though the Trainer is amazing, 7Sage allows for an enhanced visual illustration when you do not fully understand a section (with an occasional StarWars reference). In retrospect, I would have completed the basic fundamentals from each prep source consecutively, and then tackle the PT's. This, perhaps, will give you a broader and clearer perspective.

Whichever method you decide, you have the best two resources at your side. Not to forget the wealth of knowledge from 7Sagers.

Following the live webinar with @.busis, I have really enjoyed my Personal Statement topic; however, that being said, before I purchase the Admissions Premium and have David review it in its entirety, I would also appreciate if someone would at least read my introduction! Any further help would be much appreciated!

@ @ thank you very much. I often become fixated on covering as much material as possible and in turn, I inadvertently do not go as in-depth as I can. Today was a great lesson during the Context/Argument segment on 7Sage - It really opened my eyes. Thank you for the wealth of insight!

Powerscore LR Bible

If you have used the Powerscore LR Bible, this question is for you!

I have previously used the LSAT Trainer and have just begun the Core Curriculum (Starter Kit). My LR can improve to say the least. That being said, is there information to gain from the Powerscore LR Bible that I cannot gain from 7Sage Core Curriculum and/or LSAT trainer?

Any additional advice towards improving LR would also be much appreciated! :)

Confirm action

Are you sure?
