hi! i am planning on weaving some "why nyu law" content into my application essays. i am applying for the AnBryce Scholarship and did it there. i was wondering if that was enough, or if i should put it in my PS. i am not sure if the committee actually checks those scholarship essays or waits until after a decision has been made
@yrsrs I really appreciate it! Wishing you a 175 when you take the lsat
That's awesome, congrats! I noticed you hit a 167 just a few weeks ago. What do you think clicked?
Here's how I have come to understand why E is correct and not A.
We know that popular historical awareness is inevitably distorted, and we know how (the implication...). A is just restating that. But we need a way to connect that to the first sentence of the stimulus. So we need to show that when historical awareness is distorted, citizens don't know history. E bridges this by showing that historical awareness (the implication...) distorts history.
@Marin.Arvin That thought crossed my head too, but ultimately, it's the best answer. A and E can be eliminated because of the concession that the device will be purchased at its current price. C is irrelevant. I'd assume fences also don't cause significant stress. D is also irrelevant; I'm sure fences are also pretty effective. B is the best answer, so we can put our "What if" assumption to the side.
@PhoebeHopp I will try elimination drilling and answering RC wo looking at the passage again, which I don't do! I sometimes waver between answers, but I've gotten better at it. I tend to be down to 2-3 consistently though, but usually I'll miss easy points before the 20th question because the main concept didn't click / I read too fast to truly process.
I tend to have time at the end, so it isn't a timing issue. I also use my resources well, including flagging. Thanks!
hi guys! i took the june lsat and was satisfied with my score, but i literally want 2 points higher, as that can make or break some admissions, and it's just not happening. obviously my blind review can be 4 points higher after a pt, so i have understanding, but i still am stuck.
any insightful tips, whether serious or just a quick life hack that worked, that will help me out? i want to be done! i've only gotten that target score once in april on a pt.
specifically to break into the 170s as someone in the high 160s?
hello, i am going to apply to a lot of schools for fall 2027 admission and would love to start writing essays this summer. i have personal and diversity statement drafts, which i know stay the same each year. however, i worry that if i work on school-specific prompts from previous years, they might change. are the 7sage prompts accurate? also they dont really list response length which is also a problem for me. should i just work with that, or what do you recommend? i have a busy fall and want to take advantage of my summer
if you have any tips on how to organize my time with what components of my apps i should work on, please also lmk, thanks!
this is so cool! is the podcast just an audio or does it also require video?
@AriVilker1 makes sense! I also noticed that the predictions are very different from those on the lsd website despite inputting the same details. Do you have any comments about that?
hi! i am confused on how 7sage decides the chances you'll get into a certain school. For example, why is it that I have more of a chance of getting into a school where i am farther away from the median than another school...?
hi, i am in the process of asking for LORs. however, i am unsure how long they are supposed to be. i dont know if it differs from school to school, but my recommender would ideally write a general letter. also, do i need to give them any information like school /company information to add, etc?
hi, so i just got my lsat score back. im pretty happy with it, but it is on the lower side (25th percentile) for the T-20 schools i am considering. i was nervous while taking the test, but of course that's not really a valid excuse. i was thinking about writing an additional statement on how my standardized test scores dont define me. i applied test optional to an ivy league school for undergrad and got in despite my sat/act score also being on their lower side, yet i am graduating near the top of my class with a 3.9x gpa. i wonder if this will convince admissions officers that my score doesn't define my potential. any thoughts?
@tekken1225189 i dont get this. there is a winner. the winner is still the dealership because it is less expensive overall... help
I was between C and D but ultimately chose C. I eliminated D because it doesn't need to be the case that by itself, each story is not "completely" consistent. Let's say they're 1% different...that's not doing anything to weaken the argument.
I am so bad at these. I am good at LR except for flaw and one other question type. I just can't figure it out. Sometimes I'll find a gap but it isn't the right one. Other times the answer choices are too subtle or I find multiple ones correct. Sometimes I don't see how the answer is really a flaw. I need a way to reframe these/think about them correctly.
@afk lol
