I'm new here!

Hey guys!

I just recently joined 7sage. I was originally planning on applying this cycle, but after taking the LSAT in October and getting a low score, I decided to take the December test. Well, December is here and guess what? I'm not ready! So I decided to postpone my applications for a year and focus on the LSAT. I'm planning on taking the June LSAT and applying for the Fall 2017 cycle. Anyone on the same boat? I need to kick up my prep a notch and I thought joining a community like 7sage would be helpful. You all seem very nice and welcoming! It seems like people enjoy the BR Groups (I'm still trying to learn the lingo around here.. lol).

A little about me:

Graduated from USC this past May, 22 years old and working at a Labor and Employment Law firm in Downtown LA.

I'm a URM and I'm the first to graduate college and apply to law school, so this is all new to me.

Some difficulties I've been having on the LSAT recently:

Well, I seem to be able to hyper-focus on sections and improve my score notably, but my other sections fall behind. I just can't seem to hold my best scores for all sections at the same time!

Some materials I've used:

LSAT Trainer

Logical Reasoning Bible

Blueprint LSAT Prep (Full in-class course)

Blueprint to Logic Games

Do you guys have any words of wisdom? I hope to get to know all of you guys throughout this journey!! Feel free to reach out!

@ Hi Artak, I feel like we are in the exact same situation right now! I tried going through the really early PTs for the LG sections but i didn't feel like they were helpful because the games are so different from the recent PTs. I started working on PT 36's games and I've been doing the fool proof method but I have not tried BRing. Maybe I should try that out!

You should keep us updated on your progress ^_^

@ It may be a Fake it til you Make it Strategy

Omg, totally hear you on that one @. The only way I have been keeping positive in light of self-doubt is pretending like it's going to be okay and waiting for the freak-out to pass. We got this!!!

I too thought that a lawyer had to be aggressive, loud and extroverted. But I will agree with everyone on here in that there are all different types of personalities in the legal field.

I work at a law firm now and there are definitely a variety of personalities among practicing attorneys (even among litigators, which are thought of as the typical aggressive, non apologetic, my-way-or-the-highway kind of lawyers).

I wouldn't worry too much about your introverted tendencies (a lot of us are introverts). I would embrace it!

and

, what was the most significant thing you did that helped you with your score increase?

BR Calls! Also, keeping detailed analytics really helped me identify what I was having trouble with.

@ I went from a 144 (yea that bad - DEC '14) to a 152 this past test... I think I can improve even more - is it worth taking once or twice more if "set" on going to Law School to get the highest score possible??

I actually took an extra year off to get a few more points in. If it helps: I do not regret it at all. I'm actually really glad I did it. But in the end, it is your decision.

I just didn't want to live life with regrets and constantly filling my head with "what ifs."

@ 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!!

Yo! lol

This weekend was full of highs! That AMAZING Rose Bowl win and then grey day!

Definitely proud to be a Trojan. Please keep me updated on your app process! It would be cool to get together if we do end up somewhere close. 7sage alumni <3

Two Years and a 14 Point Increase

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to thank the 7Sage community for helping me through was has been the hardest undertaking in my academic career!

After countless hours of studying, BR calls, PTs, scoring (and sometimes tears and disappointment), I am happy to say that my LSAT journey is over!

I wish everyone here the best of luck on future LSATs and the admissions process.

I will be applying this cycle and I'm excited to see where my fellow 7Sagers will end up.

Who knows - maybe some of us might cross paths in law school!

Thanks for all the good times, ya'll!

Cheers,

Hazel

Oh my god. That's crazy! But you should definitely look at the bright side. You have another chance to kill it that many others don't. If you did it once you can definitely do it again!

Best of luck on the retake.

Building Relationships with Admissions People

Hey guys,

If your inbox looks anything like mine, it's probably drowning with emails from law schools encouraging you to apply and blah blah blah. Once in a while, I get an email from a school I'm actually interested in. This is where my question comes in:

If I'm applying NEXT cycle, how can I go about building a relationship with the admissions people now? Have you guys tried to? Any tips are appreciated.

Hi there! I see that Nov 2 the calendar has "SuperPrep II." What exactly are we doing with it?

I'm just asking because if I need to get the book, I should probably do it soon.

@

! I didn't pay attention to the time change. If you want at the end we could go over the beginning questions.

Sounds good to me! I think I have only like one question prior to 18 (when I joined) but more than happy to go over yours with you.
