Hi!! About the ending, I wasn’t clear on how your grandfather enlisting in the military + telling you his story translates to you gaining “simple freedoms” like “wearing shorts.” I also think that you could maybe add a line about the Detroit jazz festival or the public school to prison pipeline research study and how that shaped your decision to go to law school. Lastly (please take this with a grain of salt) if you know which area of law you want to practice in, it might be helpful to tie your experiences to that specific area or practice of law— because “advocacy” can be a broad term.
Overall, I think your personal statement has some strong through lines. I am jealous of your opening paragraph. And I think that you have a compelling story because all the steps you took made sense (and on a separate note, I think the research project and jazz festival are very cool activities). Good luck with everything!
Hi guys, do you have any tips on how to improve low res summaries? I try to keep it under 6-7 words, mostly 3-4 words, but I struggle when questions ask me to recall details.
For example here are my low-res summaries of some passages:
PT. 108. S4. P4 [Passage about early humans not being confident hunters but scavengers]
P1 - Anthropologist wrong early humans
P2 - What is taphonomy
P3 - Cut marks different
P4 - Scavengers not confident hunters
PT111.S2.P4.Q6[Passage about why legal positivism is “erroneous” + Dworkin’s theory]
P1 -Legal positivism accept wrong / Legal positivism vs natural law
P2 - What is legal positivism
P3 - Law has internal logic
P4 -Meaning outside people’s thoughts
I appreciate any feedback!
BR-ing to a 161 on your first PT is great though, keep up the good work! I’m confident you’ll do better
@LSATTAKER Hi, first of all, I thought the comment earlier sounded backhanded. Second, I cancel my 7sage subscription in a few days, so I wanted to clarify that what I meant was, that the improvement you want to make is possible. However much you end up scoring is not something I can predict. But my diagnostic was a 148, and I have been PTing at 162 for the past few tests— and I know I didn’t BR to a 161 on my first PT… so that’s what I meant.
