I just wanted to log back onto 7Sage after several months (I took my last test in October) to thank JY and the 7Sage community for everything it has given me. This website helped me raise my LSAT score by 10 points and undoubtedly is a huge factor in my success this cycle. I applied to 18 schools and I've been accepted to 6 of them (including a T30 and 2 full rides in the T50). I've also been deferred at my #1 of GULC (fingers crossed for me) and I have high hopes for the remaining schools. I never thought I would make it to this point until I found 7Sage and finally started to understand my own learning process. Thank you everyone and good luck to everyone who is still studying for the LSAT! You got this!

Don’t know how it goes, but I wish best of luck and hope it goes well.

Georgetown is my top pick.

Thank you! Mine as well. I found some helpful tips about GULC interview on Reddit. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Invited to Interview at Georgetown

I applied ED and application went complete about 10/28. Was just invited for a group interview today. Does anyone know how a Georgetown interview usually goes? Formal or informal? Insanely nervous in a good way. Want to be as prepared as possible.

Hey guys! I'm meeting with the senior dean of admission from William and Mary today and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what I should ask. I have a list of questions about things I'm interested in (culture, clinics/programs, etc.), but if anyone has anything they think would be worth asking let me know. If you have a question of your own I will even ask it and get back to you with the answer.

Thanks!

Can someone explain the median?

I understand it’s the 50th percentile. Some schools have weird numbers thought. GWU has a range of 159 (25th percentile) to 167 (75th percentile). But for some reason their median is a 166. How is the median one point from the 75th and 7 points from the 25th. Shouldn’t it be 163?

I don’t get it lol. Can someone explain?

Im planning on either applying to Georgetown or GW ED. I only want to go to school in DC (where I am from and currently living). I think ED with 0 scholarship is worth it for my position but, obviously, it depends on the person and case. I hope you get into Georgetown! That is a big one.

I go to undergrad in DC and want to Stay here so badly I love it here! Also applying regular decision to GW!

My application at Uni of Maryland has been in review since September 3. It is now November 5th and I'm wondering if this is normal? I don't think it should take 2 months to read an application but has anyone else experienced this?

I'm too afraid to apply ED because what if I get in .....with 0 scholarship - then I'm stuck. But then again it is Georgetown.

I am lucky enough to have a dad who has promised to help me if I do get in because he knows how incredible of an opportunity going to GT Law would be. Of course I would still have to eventually pay myself, but I am lucky that I could get that help. I am so sorry that the insanely high price of tuition is keeping you from applying ED ): it is a very financially discriminatory process. What other schools are you applying to?

They use the LSAC cumulative GPA. I would urge you to write an addendum explaining

I applied to 18 schools for this cycle and just sent my last one in yesterday. I have already received a "your application is complete email" from all of the schools, and some have already gone under review (some of the apps I sent in September and were on hold until the October LSAT scores went out). Has anyone received a decision this cycle? If so from what school?

Maybe this is a dumb question... but can you not register for the US testing slots anyway, since it's all virtual? And I'm presuming you permanently reside in the US.

Thankfully I was granted the retake due to the gravity of the issue. I retook the test on Thursday. but, to answer your question: internationals cannot take non-international exams even though its all virtual. You sign up based on where you will physically be on test day, and if you attempt to hide your location via VPN they WILL find out lol... its to prevent cheating I think

Odd, I thought it was based on your permanent residence. I mean, what if you're studying abroad or doing an exchange semester? That would be quite arbitrary... I signed up and was only asked to provide my permanent address, which is in the US, so I think that should be fine... I wasn't even using a VPN.

that's exactly the position I'm in. I am a permanent US resident studying abroad in London. I asked LSAC if this means I have to take an international administration and they said yes. It does seem really dumb, but at least October was international so I could take it.

No, that’s the point of cancelling it. It’s as if you never even took the test At all.

My LSAT journey is over!

Thank you 7sage. I began studying for this test in March 2020 and can finally say I am done with it in October 2021.

I began with a diagnostic of 148. I took the test in June and got a 159, but knowing I had more potential stuck to studying for the Oct LSAT. I was so close to the median for a lot of great schools and knew I could increase my odds by a lot just by raising my score a little bit more. I ended with a 163 this October. I know it’s not a 175 like many people strive for, but for me the 15 point increase and 40 point percentile increase is more than enough to be proud of. I am confident in my ability to get into some amazing schools with this score. 7sage is what got me over the hump and I’m forever grateful.

For those who got their score back and are realizing that their LSAT journey isn’t over, you got this. There were weeks and months I thought I would never break 155. I truly believed I had reached my peak 7 months ago. Remember what you’re studying for- the reason you are going to law school in the first place. We put in the hard work now so that we can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives later on.

While a 163 may seem like nothing special, I fought so hard for it and I’m extremely proud of myself and this community.

Good job my friends!

is it a 9am EST release?

I think so? That's what it was in June

Yes. This is from their email: All October test takers will receive their scores on Wednesday, October 27, provided they have an approved LSAT writing sample on file. Scores will be released at approximately 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on October 27, but be advised that with thousands of scores populating across the system it may take a few minutes for all scores to be visible.
