hi all. I wrote an addendum to explain failing a P/F class in freshman year. Not an excuse, but the program I was in was notoriously known for disorganization and lack of support. This along with some other factors including a grandparents death and hard transition to college, contributed to the grade. I said how I raised my grades after and my GPA went up. Is it okay to explain this even though it may look like I'm making an excuse for my performance? I don't want to raise attention to it too much and give the admin team any red flags.

Hi. I have a lower undergrad gpa (3.4) and am aiming for top 35-ish range of law schools. I know I need my lsat to be in the high 160s and I think this is doable, but i'm extremely worried about the gpa. I am 2 years out of (a semi-prestigious) school. Any suggestions?

I've heard differing things- can you take your own earplugs into the lsat testing center? Thanks!!

My first LSAT was 8/24 and I got a 156. My most recent one was 10/24 and I managed to raise my score to a 166 which is odd because at the time I was Pting around 160. Even recently I have not scored a PT over 166 at all. I am signed up for November but i'm thinking of canceling and just applying with the 166. My GPA is not the highest (3.3) but i'm burnt out and working on apps. I almost think i'm scoring worse now compared with 2 weeks ago. Should I chance it but risk getting a worse score than 166? Any advice?

Okay, I've been basing my applications/chances off of the admissions predictor on 7Sage......problem is I just looked the the predictor on LSAC and my odds look ALOT worse. I know LSAC doesn't have the option to choose what month you apply but even still the disconnect is making me nervous. Anyone know why this is and which is more accurate?
