I don’t know if I agree with Powerscore. I felt like it was a -11 and even a -12 curve. Felt like Sept 2017’s test in terms of difficulty.

Hi, I totally missed the webinar too. Didn't get the email reminder for some reason even though I registered. :( Can't wait to see the recording.

Here's the other thing you should keep in mind - just cause you go to a T14 school doesn't mean you'll do well enough to land yourself an OCI for big law. You could quit work and study, sure, but I'm almost certain that you'll just pass the LSAT hurdle whereas the overworked paralegal was exposed to law and may do better in her or his first year enough to land that OCI. I know many people who did not go to a t14, did not get a 170 on their lsat (in fact, got in the 150s) but are in big law, are making 180k and it's only because they were the top 1% of their class their first year.

Haven't had a chance to catch up on the comments but I think that your calculations are missing underlying variables. While theoretically it may seem like the nice option, it's almost impossible for many, many students.

That RC destroyed me.

3

Tears. That's how this all started and feels like that's how it's just going to keep continuing.

The thought of wanting to be an attorney never occurred to me as a child until I had to sit through the medical malpractice case after my dad passed away from a doctor's stupid case. I was 12 years old, bawling my eyes out and in order to stop making a fool out of myself, I decided to concentrate hard on our attorney's opening statement. I fell in love with the field after that. Ask me about any SCOTUS decision, and I"ll tell you the rules they used, the dissents, and the facts of the case.

Flash forward 9 years later, I'm in my room, bawling my eyes out at my LSAT score.

Kind of funny, isn't it? The irony of it all?

It's so freaking frustrating.

I have a UGPA of a 2.88 (upward trend to a 3.45 by the end of my last year) all because I had a severe case of iron deficiency anemia (that had left me bruised up all over at one point) that went undiagnosed and left my brain constantly feeling foggy/ wasn't able to concentrate. Once I had the ability to see a doctor (thanks, Obama) I was diagnosed and that's where you were able to see that upward trend in my grades.

My first lsat was a 149.

My second lsat was canceled because the testing center was loud.

My third lsat was a 148 (I'm fully convinced this was a bubbling error)

My fourth? a 152.

I've ran local and statewide campaigns, have an impressive resume that ranges from AmeriCorps to non-profit work. I work at a law firm now. Helped organized food drives for our homeless community. Have a clean background.

I freaking LOVE the law. As much as everyone hates it, I wish I was in law school. I envy everyone that is.

Why is this so difficult?

I just .. I don't know what I"m doing posting this, but I guess I'm just looking for advice. Words of wisdom. Anything.

Much love to the 7sage community. You all keep me sane, nonetheless.

If I were to choose, I think "How to Brainstorm" is probably the most useful. I'm having a lot of trouble just trying to figure out how to write this so it provided a lot of great ideas! It's a difficult decision, though because I also very much liked the timeline. BTW, thanks for today! The admissions webinar was well done and helped organize my thoughts as I used it as my "starting point" for my own application process (I took the LSAT in June).

How do you think admissions will now view multiple LSATs considering the fact that the restriction of 3 max has been removed?

What steps do you recommend taking to get yourself off of a waitlist?

How do you negotiate financial aid?

Are there any links or resources to scholarships that you know of?

UGH is anyone else feeling like they're losing they're mind?! I can't wait for the results. I felt like it was easy. Practically pooped my pants during the LG experimental so I'm very glad to see it as experimental!!! The real one was okay.. last one was a little difficult but I felt like I burned through the rest. RC felt weird for me in that I don't know what my outcome will be. Oh well. This wait to find out results is going to KILL me.

I've always thought of it as

-For sufficient assumptions, you have to find the answer that makes the argument sufficient or "good enough". It's always a gap in the argument you're looking for. Something isn't completely thought out until you find the answer that's sufficient enough to prove the argument right.

-for the Necessary assumptions - look for the answer that's necessary to prove the argument correct. It's not a gap you're looking for, but moreso an answer that if negated, would make the entire argument wrong. It kind of secures the answer.

Living in California most definitely has its perks. You're a drive away from either the desert, the snow, or the beach. While I love the east coast vibe, I most certainly couldn't live there.

Can someone explain to me what a drop in rank would mean for a school? Would they be more willing to take a higher lsat score / meh gpa?

Retake as many times as it takes for you to get your scores. Pressure during the test can affect some more than others. Remember, schools only look at the highest score.

Good tip. I just burned through a lot of tests and I had practiced at a high score too. Frustrating situation to be in.

could it be possible that given that they rushed the scores the grading was off or something? :(

That's what I'm wondering, I am not liking my score.

I emailed them asking. I Just feel like there's a lot of folks that didn't expect to get the score they got. That being said, t's not predictable. Idk .. oh well.

There is always room for error but I don't think its likely. :(

If you are not happy, would you consider retaking it in June?

I registered already. :(

Need advice.

So, I guess I'm going to be coming back to this site again. I'm exhausted and feeling very hopeless right now.

I took the LSAT in September. Got a 149.

Took it again in December, but canceled my score due to noise disturbances.

Took it again in February and I got a 148 (unf*ckingbelievable - I walked out thinking I actually did well. :()

Would it be a problem if I retook it? I know I can do better than this. I was PTing at upper 150s/lower 160s. :(

Geeeez. What's up with LSAC?! If it's so easy to hustle and do it over one night, why couldn't they have done it earlier? I second Dave's tweet: "Proving, of course, that they could have released them earlier than originally announced. Which we knew all along from December. The arbitrary nature of how they do this is beyond frustrating and has to stop."
