Hi guys!

I need help formatting my diversity essay.

Many have a short, one-page, double-spaced requirement, so there isn't much room to tell my story, and that is where my issue comes in.

Should I focus more on my story, or mention more about the school? If so, how am I supposed to do that? I find myself explaining my diverse background, why it made me who I am, and why I specifically look for diverse communities/spaces/environments, and that I would look for and contribute to the school by making a community (I would do this by tying it back to my story, trying not to give details on here).

Should I be focusing more on their diversity statements? They all feel the same to me... I think explaining my story gives them real information about who I am and what I bring to the school, rather than restating what they already know.

I am writing my diversity statement for all my law school apps if this helps!

I didnt choose D because we are already seeing the amount of unauthorized digitalization going up as technology is getting better, which is why this whole issue is even being discussed.

there is no talk of anything being "bad for business" while manipulation is actually discussed/stated, just not directly.

The grocery store is manipulating the pathway of its customers by putting the bread all the way in the back in order to tempt them to buy something more.

apes don't have to understand "stock reports" in order to be good at investing.

If they naturally know that planting an apple seed gives them many apples in return, then they naturally invested... they didn't need to do a stock report in order to figure that all out. That's how I got AC B

My predicted AC was that maybe the author failed to think that they actually might be scared of the human part of the creature. How are we supposed to know unless they state it?

AC A was pretty close to what I was thinking

@RobertCarlson Does the LSAC GPA only really change if you 1- Have transfer grades & 2- Did bad on a class / failed a class and had to retake it?

I am a huge nervous test taker (especially for standardized exams as such) and I found that when I got into the prooctering room my body and mind LOCKED IN. While even PTing I get nervous.

I hear a lot of stories on how people who are nervous test takers end up doing better than they are PTing because when their mind knows its time to lock in, it locks in!

Goodluck! I'll be taking mine in two days!

Im in a somewhat similar boat. I cant do a two year gap year and my last chance to take the lsat is on thursday, first one was a 152, spent 4-6 hours diligently studying (i used everyyyyy trick and approach to study) and when i PT i barely can get a higher score.

I'll be honest, Im a splitter with my GPA. But I hope you know youre not alone with the LSAT. I think the reality is that sometimes these sort of exams are not the way your brain works.

Dont be discouraged, there is a school for you out there. Maybe try looking abroad as well.

Jokes aside its important to take one day off a week and every few months I gave myself 4 days off

@Max

I think this is what you are asking:

The conclusion is the author's opinion/ the assumption you are talking about.

A stimulus never has to directly state that the author is making an assumption, argument, etc. The stimulus will often say something along the lines of "according to ___" to showcase the different view points or opninions of other parties other than the author.

In this case, the author is the only viewpoint

AC A made sense until I read 1970.

How are both the deer population and wolf population already growing BEFORE (1960) the ban was put in place??? cmonnnn :(

I was between AC B & D.

I didn't choose AC D because the stimulus says "not complete captives...," while AC D says "completely independent...".

That language is much too strong, and it jumps to the whole other side of the spectrum.

Though under time pressure, I always struggle to notice little details like that... ugh!

IDK if this is the right way to view the answers,/ im wondering if what I did can be applied to other similar questions...

But one of the reasons why I ended up choosing AC D was that it stated that, because of past examples of past presidents with Phd, then Robinson would become a president (since he had a Phd)

and the stimulus was doing the same thing, using past examples to state that something would happen

@businessgoose yes, because the passage is about that- ecologists who study introduced species (or at least in that topic range)
