Thanks so much @uhinberg359 :)
@476 when you're in a cult, they don't have to pay you ;)
Amen to what @jennilynn89537 said!
I agree, 20 mins is ideal. And Sam Harris was actually one of my first introductions to meditation. But Headspace really helped me stick with it :)
@bjphillips5431 15 days for 1 month, 30 days (so another 15) for another 1 month, and 90 days for a 3 month. Don't know beyond that, never got that far!!
Everyone should listen to "I Am The Law" by Law School Transparency. It offers informational interviews about different careers in the law! Really, really useful for pre-law and law students!
@bebek10792 @sharon100459 if I'm not mistaken, I think the first 10 sessions on Headspace are free for anyone. But that might have changed since I started using it a year ago
@sharon100459 will keep you in mind if I get another batch :)
Hi 7Sagers!
You know what helps you do well on the LSAT? Meditation.
You know what helps you live a good life? Also, meditation.
Lucky for you, I have two codes for 1 free month of Headspace. I'll send it to the first two people who want it.
How did I get these codes? By meditating, a lot using Headspace. :)
Looking forward to this!

Anyone care to delineate what is going on with Berkley on this list? Seems like quite a drastic drop. Berkley is my #1 school and what I am working towards getting into, so I always take note when I see them.
My best guess is that it's related to how others (law schools and judges/lawyers) evaluated Boalt in the aftermath of the scandal involving former Dean Choudhry. I don't think it should be a big factor as the scandal will likely dissipate in evaluators' minds. Plus, there are problems with the USNWR rankings, some of which hurt Berkeley more than others (i.e. LSAT/GPA). https://www.lstreports.com/guides/Value-of-US-News-Rankings/
I'm far more curious to see everyone's NALP (employment) reports and their new Law School Transparency scores. They should be out sometime mid-April.
Berkeley is still on par with much of the rest of the T13/14. I wouldn't read too much into this ranking drop. And for further context, here's the past five years of USNWR rankings in one chart (excluding the latest rankings): http://tippingthescales.com/2016/03/yale-crowned-top-law-school-2017-u-s-news-ranking/4/
@jhaldy10325 No! I haven't. Toooooo busy. But now that the whole law school process is done...it might be time to save my money one latte not ordered at a time. :)
@pbenjamin57877 52-61 is yours! PM me to figure out pick up :)
Hello 7sagers in LA,
I have either entirely or mostly blank (with writing has a note next to them) copies of some LSAT books. And because 7Sage has been so good to me, I'm giving them away to some of my unused material to you for free.
I'll give away one book of your choice first comment, first serve. You just have to pick it up from me at some point.
Here's what I have:
The 2015 LSAT Trainer (first 40% has writing in it) TAKEN
Official LSAT Preptest 73
Official LSAT Preptest 74
10 New Actual, Official LSAT Preptests 52-61 (One of the games sections has writing in it) TAKEN
The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT Preptests 29-38
10 More Actual, Official LSAT Preptests 19-28 TAKEN
10 Actual, Official LSAT Preptests (7,9-16,18) TAKEN
If there aren't enough Angelinos, I'll let folks claim multiple books.
Good luck studying,
Benjamin
@jennilynn89537 my Georgetown interview was a group practical interview, where we were given scenarios and asked questions about them to see our ability to cooperate with others and articulate ourselves. My Cornell interview was actually with just recorded videos of staff asking questions and then I had to record my responses. But the questions were fairly standard interview ilk. Asking you to reflect on experiences you have learned from. If there's a list of standard interview questions online, I'd practice those. They're trying to learn better who you are. On top of that, I'd make sure I have responses to questions like these: "Why this school?" or "Why law school?" or "What can you offer our school?" or "Why can our school offer you?"
@jennilynn89537 Lots of schools have different interview procedures, so do you mind sharing which school?
I've interviewed at Georgetown and Cornell and they were both tremendously different!
Congrats, Hazel! It was fun to share a couple BR calls with you! Maybe we'll end up at the same law school :)
Also, how about that Rose Bowl!!
Congrats @staciaglee275 !!!
CURVE from Dave Killoran
December 2016 LSAT Scale (out of 101):
175 = 96 / -5
170 = 90 / -11
165 = 83 / -18
160 = 73 / -28
155 = 64 / -37
150 = 55 / -46
anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours. It's released in random batches
@lehmanbr746 You could be right, but I read recently that someone called after the scores were already released and they still said they wouldn't be released until tomorrow.
I heard similar things. Still very likely today. Though certainly possible not until tomorrow.
