The reasoning doesn't make sense to me. The conclusion says "heart disease," not heart attack. This leads me to assume that heart disease and heart attacks are the same because the argument doesn't make sense otherwise. In that case, the video's reasoning breaks down because heart disease can't cause heart attacks when they're the same.

I thought option D was wrong because I thought it could lead to a cycle: heart disease→t→heart disease (cuz heart attacks and heart disease are the same), which means D did not weaken the argument. But heart disease came first and t just made the heart disease worse i.e., it did not CAUSE the disease. That's why I think my reasoning is wrong.

I think it makes most sense if option D is saying that heart disease→t→heart attacks, which weakens the author's argument that t→heart disease→heart attacks because it presents another hypothesis. Basically, the argument switched cause and effect. Heart disease causes t rather than t causes heart disease. But it's also reasonable to assume that heart disease causes heart attacks. You see my confusion??

I think the question should've said heart attacks at the end to prevent this assumption. The other answers are wrong too, so this one confused me very much.

Hi Stella, I'm in the same boat! My recent PTs are all in the low 170s or high 160s and I'm also applying this cycle. I'd love to join this study group!

Hello! Thank you for your review of the process! If you're okay with it, can you tell me what your stats are so I can get a more comprehensive understanding of your application?

Admissions Consulting and LSAT Study Group

Hi everyone,

My average PT score right now is 168.5 (highest was a 175) with my recent scores in the 169-173 range; my BRs are consistently in the low-mid 170s. My GPA is 3.79 (it's lower than my actual GPA cuz I went to a quarter-system school: kill me).

I have not started writing any essays and I want to apply this fall. Is it worth it to get any kind of admissions consulting? I'm paying out of pocket and there are so many free resources available, so I'm doubting the value of paid consulting. But I also want to produce the best possible application. What do y'all think?

Secondly, I would love to study for the September/October with some peers based in the Bay or the Pacific Time Zone. If you live around the Fremont or Milpitas area, let me know and we can study in-person at a library or coffee shop. If not, I'm happy to use Zoom!

Thanks in advance!
