@lucykelly459 It was in my last two years of college. I'm not sure how/where to ask an admissions consultant this question but if there are any 7sage consultants reading this, could you please provide some insight--it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
In college, I originally started with a major I wasn't well-suited to. I later changed my major but I had taken enough courses for that major that I could get a minor in it by just taking a few more upper-division classes P/NP. I ended up doing this and taking a number of additional courses P/NP for my minor. I recently found out that some law schools view a P as a C or just don't look favorably at a P. I'm stressed about how these additional courses I took will be viewed. Does anyone know what an acceptable number of P/NP courses is? Also, should I submit a GPA addendum or some kind of addendum regarding the upper division classes I took P/NP? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have 3 LSAT scores on record and a 5 point jump between my first score to my second and my second score to my third (total 10 point jump). I've seen a lot of conflicting information online from not writing an addendum and letting my scores speak for themselves to people saying that multiple LSAT scores/score increases need to be explained in an addendum. Do you think my multiple scores and the 5 point score increases between each requires an addendum? I really don't know what to do here so I would love any feedback that anyone has. Thanks!
Thank you for your response! I am still a bit confused in regards to the similarity. In question 8, the argument part in question makes the second sentence more relevant to the conclusion because it gives us a necessary condition and the last part of the sentence tells us that necessary condition exists and has been met. In the same regard for question 20, the argument part in question makes that last part more relevant and as a result makes that part an intermediate conclusion.
I am confused about how these two stimuli are analogous in that sense but dis-analogous in having/not having an intermediate conclusion.
The structure of the stimulus in both of these argument part questions seem very similar and the argument part identified in question stem seems similar as well.
Why is it that the last sentence in 8 "our sun has an unusually high abundance of these heavier elements for its age" is not an intermediate conclusion but that the last sentence in 20 "the heavy industrial activity of coal mining would force most of them to close" is an intermediate conclusion?

I'd like to find someone to meet with once or twice a week online to discuss LR and RC sections/questions. Ideally this would consist of completing some of the same sections/questions every week and then meeting to discuss difficult questions and passages.
I am currently scoring in the mid to high 160s (I have also scored in the low 170s several times on practice tests) and would prefer studying with someone with similar PT scores My current section breakdown is roughly LG -0/-2, LR -2/-3, RC -2/-4. I am also trying to find a study partner that approaches studying in a similar manner to how I approach it. I try to approach the test in a very methodical way and I find it very helpful to fully understand the reasoning behind each stimulus. I like to come up with a reason for choosing the correct answer and reasons for not choosing each incorrect answer. I also try to prephrase an answer as often as I can in LR--this is something I have struggled with so it's really a work in progress. For RC passages, I typically take a bit more time on the passage in order to really fully understand the structure of what I am reading. I like to read the passage as if I'm having a conversation with the author of the passage and constantly reflect back on what I've read to create a kind of mental map of how the passage is progressing.
Please send me a message about your experience with the LSAT/your study habits if you are interested in studying together! Thanks!
If you're asking for a fee waiver, you need to do so before your app is submitted. As far as I know, schools don't refund any application fees you have already paid. I would email whatever school you're applying to and ask if they waive the CAS fee.
