I highly recommend Avacodo and toast along with egg whites. Not too draining where it will tire you out and keeps you full.

Thank you so much everyone for your response. I decided to pull it from the Resume. @ that's a great idea to put it in the diversity statement.

Did you tell your undergrad institutions to send them in? I think the CAS website needs to be reformed and made user friendly. When you put in an institution, they create a request sheet. You are supposed to print off this sheet and give it to your registrar at your undergrad institute. Then they mail off the transcript with that request sheet in it to the address listed on the request sheet. They should make the steps be in bold print in the beginning. I had my undergrad schools do it and it was processed within about a week to CAS.

NO! I had a similar diagnostic score. No. No. No. No. You need time to absorb this material. If this was a pure memorization test then definitely yes. But again, if you have to ask...No!

We are all people with our biases. Keep in mind that your app could be reviewed by a devoted and highly religious individual. The chances of that happening is probably higher than someone of the polar opposite. Of course we ideally expect to be judged on an independent basis irrespective of an admission's office's beliefs, but again, we have our biases. I would put this in the same category as a PS that delves into our current political climate and debate. These are dangerous topics and frankly, a gamble in my humble opinion.

Review this book: https://www.amazon.com/Successful-Harvard-School-Application-Essays/dp/0312366116

Someone wrote an essay about their love for punctuations and got into Harvard. Like seriously. There are some incredibly boring and esoteric things you can write about, but as long as you've got the credentials, you're a serious candidate.

Congratulations! What an accomplishment!

I'm not dissing on people with disabilities... only the ones who fake it. And anxiety can be very fake-able...don't you think. I'm 100% behind honest disability suffering testers to get accommodations.

Ooof, ok...Let's dive into this type of comment/argument with a timely analogy, sexual assault. One of the most common attacks on people claiming to have been assaulted is that it's so easy for anyone to just say they've been assaulted since in most instances is nigh impossible to prove one way or the other. Because of that those being accused have long used the defense, they are just faking it to attack me (this can be clearly seen in the Roy Moore scandal playing out right now). This has, unfortunately, proved quite a successful strategy leading to an environment where people don't come forward for fear of not being believed and opening themselves up to attack all over again.

In this instance, claiming that anxiety is something that is easily "fake-able" produces the potential for a similar environment. Creating a social stigma associated with anxiety accommodations means that people with legitimate disabilities might not seek them out for fear of being labeled a "faker" by an admissions committee (or by their friends/future classmates). This means that they are being punished for something they cannot control because some people might possibly abuse the only recourse they have to level the playing field.

You say you are 100% behind honest disability suffering testers getting accommodations, and yet you just made fun of a girl you've never met and assumed her faking her disability (or need for accommodation) because the one she claimed is potentially "fake-able". Don't you see how that's not ok and potentially damaging to everyone that shares that disability?

You didn't address the point -- that it's an easily fakable disability. You argued that that type of argument produces a social stigma, which may or may not be true, but isn't it possible that that argument is both valid AND produces a social stigma? I don't mean to be pedantic, but it's not as simple an issue as you seem to believe.

I would argue that it's not actually that fake able when diagnosed by a professional. Again, an anxiety disorder is not something people who don't suffer one can really understand well enough to fake (proven by the misconception that leads people to dismissing it as a real issue because they too get anxious about things in normal anxiety producing situations). The truth will out, as it were, but this doesn't matter.

As a medical professional, shit disturber, and devil's advocate, I'm not going to take a stance on the issue here, but I do understand both sides. One comment I will make though is that being diagnosed by a professional is not much of a hurdle to cross, especially when a high LSAT can be life changing. Over-diagnosis may be a real thing, just look at the autism case. There may be plenty of folks who are on prescribed stimulants or anti-anxiety meds when just a 10 min meditation would be just as beneficial. Not trying to bring up a big pharma debate, but knowing motives can be beneficial to understanding trends.

Also just because there are real folks with disabilities does not exclude the possibility of fakers. The questions that may be of benefit is how many fakers are there? Perhaps it's so small that it's irrelevant. It's not like these people take the test and then announce to the world that they didn't really have a disability. Trying to go after these people, in my opinion, is a futile endeavor. Your time will be better spent improving your own score.

THE BIGGER PICTURE:

Lets look to other countries that have similar trends in standardized tests. When so many people are brilliant, as in this case, eventually there is just less opportunity, even if you "Deserve" it. What do you do in that case? You go somewhere that has opportunity and openings. This is a problem with a rise in population plain and simple. Schools just have to increase class sizes or new schools will have to be created. Demand increases with relatively slow increase in supply probably means higher tuition costs.

I don't know the solution to this but I would bet that this trend is here to stay and will only get worse.
