Hi all,
I got my Sept LSAT score back today and got a 153 (bummer) and am mulling over what to do - if anyone had any advice that would be greatly appreciated!
Here are the circumstances:

Ooh! Please add me into this group!
Hi all!
I just got an awesome job offer that would require me to submit my applications as a part time evening law student rather than full time. ....but I'm not sure if that's doable for someone who is not a superhuman student, but always an honor student with great study habits.
Give it to me straight - is it possible without major life stress/issues? If so, how'd you (or someone you know) do it?
Thank ya!
EDIT: I am financially independent and am weighing paying with loans for all of law school and living expenses if I go full time OR being more financially stable with a career building job and a salary while going to school in the evening. The way I view it, either way I'll be at 100% - in your personal experience, are you glad you worked and went part time?

Thank you everyone! I've decided to cut my losses now and just focus on getting my brain better, the LSAT and law school can wait, even though it's a bummer.

@ I would like to see these as well if that's ok!
Hi all!
I was wondering if anybody had any sort of comprehensive CC review that they wouldn't mind sharing with me? Long story short all of my study materials were ruined in a car accident :(
Anything would be greatly appreciated!
Happy Studying!
SO three weeks ago I got rear ended and I have a pretty bad concussion as a result (along with all of the dreadful physical and cognitive symptoms) and my doctors have said that taking the LSAT in December as I had planned would not be smart and there's no way I would be ready. I was super bummed because I had already taken a year off of schooling to work and now this means I have to take another year off.
Has anybody dealt with this before and have any advice? I'm going to try and get a refund from LSAC but I'm not sure how to go about it, as well as try and cope with this let down. But everything happens for a reason right? :)
Hi!
Does anybody know how long letters of recommendation are good for once uploaded to the LSAC website?
Long story short I had to postpone applying until this year after I already had asked for and received my LOR on the LSAC website. Do I need to ask them to send them in again, change the date on their letters, or anything else?
Thanks for the help!

The best thing I have done for myself for my anxiety and depression was join betterhelp.com, the therapists are so personalized and always accessible and accommodating. If you're like me and like to get it all out of your head by telling (or writing to) someone then you'd definitely love it too. Good luck with everything!

I'm in for both! I work in midtown and would be down to meet up in the evenings or on weekends! It's be so helpful to keep each other accountable now that it's crunch time
Hi all!
So after taking the LSAT for the first time September 2016 and getting a 145 after 2 rounds of Kaplan programs I decided to take a year off to work and study and try again September 2017.
I got a paralegal position at a law firm in NYC which has kept me busy with work and a long commute. I thought I'd be able to study more often (on the train, after work, etc) but it is proving to be a struggle. I am about halfway through the core curriculum as of now (studying since March) with a diagnostic score of 147. Regarding background info, in undergrad I was on the Dean's list every semester and in multiple honors societies as well as having this new job that will provide me with almost a year and a half of experience come Fall 2018.
**More time would be nice obviously, but I worry about whether or not it will lower my chances as far as admissions to push the test back to December. My goal is 160, but seeing as I can't seem to break 150 I realize that might not be possible and wonder if the time will make enough of a difference in the strength of my application.
Any and all advice is welcome!

#25 - I'm confused why D is correct.
In Passage A it says that incentives and opportunities are enormous/large...so how does that translate to D saying that the flat tax decreases opportunities being correct?

Thank you everyone for answering --
I wasn't saying I didn't have any other factors playing into my decision to do part time, everyone has other personal stuff that makes their life complicated aside from school and work. I was just asking how people's experiences were with working a full time job and going to school part time in the evenings, aside from the obvious stress and hard work associated with both.

@ Thank you for your two cents!
I'm a year post concussion right now and was cleared back in February to start reading/studying/exercising again and started very slowly and with caution. Starting about May/June I got into full swing studying daily for 1-3 hours and then boosted it up come July (b/c work got quiet and I was able to study there too). I felt pretty confident going into the test and had studied basically all that was possible (time wise and physically) from July until September and walked out thinking "that was tough but not in a 'I bombed it' way" and that I felt prepared. As far as accommodations I got 30% more time on sections and 5 min breaks in between which I think was sufficient to accommodate for the slower processing speed (b/c my eyes are still messed up).
My neurologist says that I'm making great progress but that it is more of a slow and steady recovery that will be one of those cases that take a while but he expects me to be on an upward trend b/c of how I'm progressing now.
Career wise I am in a job where I feel stuck and bored and have already done it a year longer than I had planned for when taking it, and I feel the longer I'm here and not using my full brain capabilities the more I'll be set back in life. I just NEED to go now or I know it'll be harder to ever go
My other idea was to apply to a school where my numbers make me a strong candidate and transfer after 1L with a great GPA.
I think I'm gonna go thru the Sept 2018 test and see if there are obvious/"easy" places to improve and focus on before making a decision (aka in a couple days before the registration date for Nov is here) and go from there.
@ does waiting for a score and and sending in your application without your scores back yet mean your scores will get sent automatically once they come in? Is it better to do this than wait for them to come back in January and send everything in at once then?
