Everyone, thank you so much for the support! All of you make this such an awesome community!

@ Harvard, Yale, and Stanford were the dream. However, like with most people, those schools seemed so far off when I was PTing. I didn't want to get my hopes up. However, I think it is important to have reach goals and aspirations. I would visit the websites of these schools whenever I was feeling down after a rough PT. I also found hope on 7Sage. This community is full of amazing people who have worked so hard to get their goal scores and eventually end up at their dream schools. Despite some annoyances I may have with the LSAT, I truly appreciate the test because it provides an opportunity to demonstrate hard work and commitment. Keep up your studying! A great score will open up some amazing opportunities for you!

@ Thank you, I will! You are going to rock June!

@ Awesome, I look forward to seeing you there!

As for the ad, there have been a lot more of you lately. Excited for the February LSAT? @ If you can remove the ad, that would be great. Thanks!

@ I am very disappointed, you did not mention the most important person in this whole process. Please give Shia LaBeouf the credit he deserves. I think he could use the love.

In all seriousness, congratulations! You deserve it!!! It has been a pleasure knowing you. I will always remember our BR calls and Selena. :smile:

You are going to crush it at Chicago!

@ Thank you!!! I just saw your message today (I am running a little behind). I will call you soon!

@ Thank you for attending the AMA! Haha, sorry about that. You sounded great on the call so no worries there!

@ You mean the Law School Admissions Simulator game? It is great! I love getting hit with status effects while managing my stress level. I certainly reached 100 at some point and was afflicted with "horror." I have played it a number of times. I plan to get the DLC and run through that before law school starts. What other games do you recommend? I am planning to pick up Dark Souls Remastered. I know they did not change much, but I am excited that there will be more people playing online. Also, I am still rooting for you for this cycle. You have to get off of one of those waitlists! Let me know if I can do anything to help. I cannot think of anyone more deserving.

Thank you all so much!!!

@ Yes, we are planning to meet up during orientation and grab lunch. So excited!

@ That is so sweet! Yeah, LG can't compete with Ocarina of Time. I will raise a coconut in your honor. You are going to be joining us, this year or next!

@ Congratulations! Buy yourself another PS4 to celebrate!

You are awesome! I look forward to meeting you in person!

@ lol, you texted me right in the middle of a game. I am on a strict schedule. There are at least a dozen games I need to beat before law school starts.

Our study group can only go up from here!

First off, great job on the 5 point increase! You are now extremely close to your goal score.

I agree with @ and @. Law schools (except maybe Yale) take only your highest score. Because of that and the new LSAC policy of allowing unlimited retakes, deciding to retake is almost always the right decision. There is the test cost and the additional work, but that is well worth it if it gets you into your target school.

You are clearly a strong person and a great applicant. I know you have what it takes to give it your all over the next six weeks and reach your goal score. You are so close and you deserve it. Now, go get it!

That is awesome!!! Dude, you deserve it! You have been a major asset to this community. Harvard is lucky to have you!

Great job, @! That is awesome news!

@, great job! You have given so much to this community. I am really happy you got the success you deserve! Now, go play some video games... I mean submit your apps.

Hi @,

Here is the link to the webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/weaken-strengthen/

It is awesome! Nicole explains one of the most valuable but often overlooked parts of the test: identifying the argument type. It is worth thinking about this for other question types, including flaws.

@ said:

Ahhhh this thred has me terrified now :( lol Duke dreaming!

No! Fear is the path to the dark side... You are supposed to lift people's spirits, not leave them in darkness.

@ I would not worry too much about it. This is a bit of an odd cycle. This week, a bunch of people with amazing stats (including a 176 LSAT + 3.95 GPA) were waitlisted at Chicago.

I think that the increased number of applications might be causing law schools to be a little more cautious with acceptances than they have been in the past. If that is the case, do not give up. In a bit, you can write an LOCI to demonstrate your interest.

I know someone who got off the waitlist at Northwestern and got a $150,000 scholarship. Last year, someone got off the waitlist at Chicago and received a Ruby (full tuition + stipend). While I don't know specifically about Duke, being waitlisted at the top schools does not necessarily mean that you will get little to no merit aid. I wish you all the best with your applications!

I want to wish everyone all the best on the LSAT today! It has been my pleasure to know many of you. Your hard work and dedication will pay off today! I look forward hearing about your success!

This is awesome! I want to point out to everyone that the meeting begins at 7 p.m. EDT and continues until 8:30 p.m. EDT.

Because of how the text appears in the title, the end time is more noticeable than the start time. People have missed meetings in the past because of this. I want to make sure all of you get the right time.

I will there!

It has been my pleasure to be on some of the BR calls with the June group. All of you are going to crush this test!

Everyone, thank you for coming! That was an awesome session!

Here is a link to my Dropbox, which contains my RC PowerPoints and PT 83 RC analysis: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8rtwtswbq4kspt2/AABiG7z29wB0mXcZO5zE8buTa?dl=0

I could not record this session for legal reasons. However, my PowerPoints and analysis should still be of use to those who attended and those who missed this session.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I wish you all the best on the February LSAT! You are going to crush it!

I am working on starting the meeting now. Minor technical issues

@ Good question. I am looking into the matter. Generally BR and review sessions for new tests are not recorded even though the test is not share. This is for legal reasons. I will let everyone know once I find out whether or not we can record.

@ brings up a good point. Students often find that their section scores jump around from PT to PT. The difficulty of the sections changes from test to test. A student taking the RC section with riddled basins (a 5-star difficulty section) will likely have a worse RC score than if they took a 2-star difficulty RC section. This is why you should not freak out if your RC score drops a little. Check the difficulty of the section in 7Sage Analytics. Similarly, you should also realize that a good RC section score on one test may not hold when facing a more difficult section on the next test. You always want to try to improve.

In the end, I think we can learn a lot even from the easier sections. The fundamentals of RC are the same. We just have to work a little harder and smarter on the hard RC sections. The general focus on this session is to apply strategies to RC as a whole.

I have updated the original post to include information on how to join the session. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Good job everyone! Thank you for making this such an awesome community!
