Hi, may I please join you guys?

Hey this thread is from 2 years ago so I don't think they are here anymore! 😅

Here is a thread for June 2019 LSAT study group:

https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/19448/june-2019-br-study-group-updated/p1

Wait, Jan 2019 LSAT was a nondisclosed test, so we won't know what the curve is....Why is PowerScore "predicting" something that we can't confirm? 😅

So I just got into my top choice for law school! I quit my job in December and have been relaxing/fooling around since. But I'm starting to get bored and feel unprepared for law school. I have all this time (Feb-August) before everything starts up again this fall and would sincerely appreciate any advice on how I could be utilizing my time wisely!

Thank you in advance!

I'm a 0L too so please take this with a grain of salt. Some say that 0L studying is worthless and we should do nothing and relax. But I personally don't want to learn about

legal concepts for the first time in class and I want to familiarize myself with the basic rules (black-letter law) of each area of law.

So I just started reading A Short & Happy Guide to Contracts (Short & Happy Guides) and I bought other Short & Happy Guides for other first-year subjects on Amazon and they're arriving soon. For Civ Pro, I bought Joseph W. Glannon's Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations (7th Edition), which everyone seems to recommend (I bought last year so the latest version is 8th). I also bought a cheap used Barbri Conviser Mini Review, which summarizes all of the 1L subjects. And I think I'll do some practice exams after studying with these books.

I'm thinking of reading at least a couple of law school guides so I'm reading Getting To Maybe and recently bought 1L of a Ride.

Hello, I had a question concerning PT 41, Section 2 Q13. This is from LG 3. Q13 asks for a complete and accurate list of members that could be in the finance committee and in AC E (which is marked as the correct answer), the options listed are only M,U,W. When we follow the in/out procedure, we find that H is a possible member that can be added to this group (J.Y. even has so in his explanation), so my question is why is this correct then given that this question asks for a complete and accurate list? AC E seems accurate, but is it complete?

Hey @, I think this question is similar to this: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/10937/pt42-s1-g4-q19-for-the-school-paper

This is from LG 3. Q13 asks for a complete and accurate list of members that could be in the finance committee

That's not what Q13 is asking.

Q13 is asking "Which one of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the members...?" (1)

👉　(E) (Miyauchi, Upchurch, Wharton) could be a complete and accurate list. There is a situation where M, U, and W are in the finance committee and G, H, L, and Z are in the incentives committee.

I believe you thought Q13 was asking "Which one of the following is a complete and accurate list of the members could be...?" (2)

👉　If the question were asking for this, you would have to list every single member that can be in the finance committee.

The difference between (1) and (2) is subtle but actually pretty substantial.

Hi I don't see any posts about the international test, so I thought relevant discussions/questions here.

My specific question is which LG is experimental. The one with the weird product origins game at the end or the one with the pet owner thingy at the end?

Best of luck to all of you!

The international test is usually different in each region. Did you take it in Australia/New Zealand/Asia on Sunday?

YES!

Did your RC topics include diversity of crops/public subsidies for arts/bankruptcy laws/sandstorms and fossils?

From what I gathered online, I believe January 2019 LSAT in Asia was nondisclosed February 2012 LSAT in North America, which was also readministered as September 2017 LSAT in Africa/Europe. So the LG section with pet owner tenants and non pet owners seems to be real.

But I can't confirm since I didn't take the test.

Hello. I was wondering if I fail to cancel LSAT registration by tonight 11:59pm, the schools will get to KNOW that I withdrew from Jan exam. I want to make a decision tomorrow morning depending on my physical/mental condition....so I don't want to cancel it tonight in case I do want to take the test for the last time.

Yes, they will see that you withdrew from the January LSAT. But I don't think it will be a problem if you have a legitimate reason to withdraw from the test (and it looks like you'll have one if you decide to cancel.)

LSAC said that there would be updated training materials in early 2019, so I'm keeping an eye out for them. I'm excited to be part of a new community experience and I'm glad that I'm taking mine in September when I won't have to wonder which version I'll be walking into!

You can see what it will be like and take the June 2007 LSAT from this page :) : https://familiar.lsac.org/

https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-prep/how-prepare-digital-lsat

That’s why we’ve created a Digital LSAT tutorial—to get you acquainted with the Digital LSAT.

LSAC’s new Digital LSAT tutorial videos will help you get a clear sense of what the experience of taking the Digital LSAT will be like. These tutorials are not practice tests in the usual sense: you can’t score them, and they won’t help you figure out where you need more study. (Our other Prep Tools can help you with that!) But they will show you how to highlight passages, how to undo an answer, how to enlarge the font, and more.

To emulate the Digital LSAT testing experience, use a touch screen tablet to reference the Practice and Try Out sections. The functionality of a PC cannot mirror or replicate the testing experience of using a touch screen tablet. The videos are another method for getting acquainted with the Digital LSAT.

These videos are simply—and crucially—a methodical way for you to actually see and experience, in advance, what the test will actually look like when your Digital LSAT shows up on the screen.

Hi everyone,

My account is about to expire in a week. I am still working on my apps though so I would still want to access the 7sage Admissions Course that I am currently using. When my account expires, will I still have access to @ 's Admissions Course?

Thanks!

Hi @,

Actually, you currently don't have access to the paid Admissions Course because you only have Premium. (Ultimate+ comes with the access to Admissions Course ($10).)

What you're seeing is free Admissions Course, so you can see it with any account (free account) or even without logging in: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/progress/

("Content Unlocked" should say 19h of 29h, click "Show Locked" to see what's inside the paid Admissions Course!)

I've been wondering this as well. A lot of schools send them out throughout the application cycle, but if you're planning on applying in September or October you might not have them yet, and it's definitely not worth it to wait months to apply just for the possibility of a fee waiver

Yeah last year a handful sent me waivers but it was way to late in the cycle. I’m trying to apply in September.

Last year, I sent emails in the last week of August. A couple of schools responded asking me to get back to them after September, but some schools gave me fee waivers before September 1.

Here's a thread on fee waivers last cycle:

https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/17398/fee-waivers/p1

Thank you, @, for your great advice! I hope you're doing well in law school!! 😄

It's really school by school on how they send those out. To my knowledge, UCI send emails for acceptance, but WL and dings are snail mail. Most schools do email for everything though, and keep an eye on spam folders. That said, this year is just going slooooowwww. I got USC WL about a week ago, and I applied early January. Still haven't heard from UCLA and applied early January. Applied to Berkeley mid-December and no response there yet either. I know others who have been waiting since October with no responses from some schools too. So unfortunately, the answer is to just keep waiting...

https://media.giphy.com/media/o5oLImoQgGsKY/giphy.gif

I haven't heard from two schools that I applied in early September (although these aren't California schools). I've been waiting for more than 6 months. Lol

Ugh it is so frustrating! I try not to complain because I know there are others who’ve been waiting so much longer. But it’s weird having done this last cycle too. I applied to UCLA a month earlier than I did the year before but am not going to have an answer any earlier. I was looking forward to having more time to make a decision this year but apparently that’s not a thing. 😂

How is your cycle going?? Do you have any offers you’re excited about?

I have some offers with $$$ from T-20 schools and an offer with $$ from a T-14 school. So it's not so bad! But I haven't heard back from 8 schools 😑 (I'm expecting waitlists/rejections at this point though)

@ said:

However, the letter, after saying no, says: "Should you consider attending [the school] in the future, I would encourage you to explore the opportunities available as a transfer student." This struck me as unusual in a rejection letter. Is it? Is it normal for the school to suggest they'd be interested in seeing you re-apply as a transfer?

It's not unusual. It's pretty standard and I think it doesn't mean anything. I've seen it many times last cycle 😅 Did it say "However, we are simply unable to accommodate the large number of applicants who wish to attend [the school]" right before that sentence?

Here are some other examples:

"If [School] remains your first choice, you may wish to consider applying to transfer at the end of your first year in a full-time program at another ABA-approved law school. "

"If [School] remains your first choice you may consider applying to transfer here after your first year."

"If [School] remains your first choice, you may want to consider submitting a transfer application next year."

"Should you decide to begin at another law school this fall, you are welcome to apply to us as a transfer student next year."

"they were impressed with your credentials and encourage you to consider applying as a transfer student in your second year of law school."

"If you decide to enroll at another institution for your first year, we hope that you will consider reapplying as a transfer candidate."

I spent fall 2018 on exchange in England for one semester (Sep-Dec 2018) and took three courses. Two were 100% assessed on a 15-page essay. The other one was 30% first essay and 70% final essay.

I just received my grades for the two 100% assessed courses and my grades are TERRIBLE. I've never received marks this low in my LIFE. I'm talking 2:2 and a 3rd class (here is a link to understand what this means: https://www.scholaro.com/pro/Countries/united-kingdom/Grading-System).

I have a 3.87 GPA at my home institution, but since every law school wants transcripts from every institution attended (including study abroad), there's no way to escape sending them. Since I was only in England for one semester, I can't send my international transcripts to LSAC (they require at least 1 year abroad to evaluate them), so they'll just be sent directly to each school I apply to. I have no idea how schools are going to react when they see my exchange grades. There's almost no information about it on admission websites, no matter which school I look at.

I know this is going to hurt me during the admissions process. What do I do? Will the schools reject me because of these grades? Does anyone know what schools do with exchange transcripts? Is there a way I can redeem myself from this?

If I'm not mistaken, your grades at an international institution will not be factored into your cumulative GPA on the CAS transcript report. Foreign transcripts (=non-US/Canada transcripts) are evaluated by the foreign evaluation service and it is a separate evaluation from the academic summary report.

But you might want to call the LSAC to double check!

Yea, I think so. I think it means "than the case in which that person chooses not to walk rather than drive."

"Otherwise" confused me too and I made this post about it a long time ago:

"But the material costs of hung juries do not warrant losing the benefit to society of the unanimous verdict."

from the 1st RC passage of PT37

Does this sentence mean, instances of hung juries do not necessarily mean that the unanimous verdict system has no benefit?

Well, I can't read the whole passage now so I don't know the context, but I think it means something like, "Just because there are costs of hung juries, it doesn't mean it's okay for the society to lose the benefits of the unanimous verdict."

I'm guessing it's saying that the unanimity requirement brings bad things like hung juries but there are more benefits! (like fair verdicts?)
