I was in the exact same place with RC as you were a few weeks ago. What really helped me get down to -0/-2 was slowing down my RC process entirely. It may sound counterintuitive, but I spent a few weeks doing the RC from PT 1-35 untimed. I focused on just reading through the passage and writing down separately the main point and any key notations (i.e. "big words," shifts in scope/topic, author's opinion, etc.). I then answered the questions just from my notes without looking back at the passage. This helped me ID what I was consistently missing and I got a better sense of reading for structure and the bigger ideas of the passage. Once I went back to timing myself, I found that I got more questions correct and that I had a better sense the overall structure of passages and could predict a good number of the questions ahead of time.

Got my score in Philly WAY earlier than expected-- email arrived around noon. Cried actual tears of joy in Target. Good luck to everyone waiting!!!

I would suggest that you start writing out a diversity statement and then compare it to the socio-economic addendum you've already written. If you are saying the same things, or the two overlap a decent amount, I would say just stick to one of the two essays. Law school AdComm's have so much to read-- I've been told that every item you submit should be different enough that it merits its own read through!

YES. This thread.

I didn't think anything could be worse than the waiting game after taking the LSAT. Then I submitted applications... Definitely worse haha.
