Taylor,

Wait until next cycle. Just take a deep breath and realize that all of your opportunities for law school (if not more) will still be there in 12 months. The only considerable difference between now and then is that you'll have months more prep under your belt as well as another year to boost your resume and explore what you're wanting out of your future career.

I was in a similar position for this cycle. I'm currently a senior at my UG school. After 8-10 months of off and on studying (and admittedly putting far less effort into it than I should have), I sat for the August FLEX and received a 157. My UGPA calculated by LSAC is a 3.97, so applying with that score would have made me the same time of "splitter" that you would be with your 150.

Like you, I knew I was capable of a much higher score. I did some research and found that, for the most part, there are pretty much ZERO drawbacks to waiting a cycle to apply so long as you stay on track and spend the time bolstering your application. Go ahead and look at admission statistics for law schools this last cycle, and I promise you'll be surprised at the median age of first year students. It was much higher than I thought it was.

Needless to say, I canceled my August 157 (as I am aiming for a T14 school in the 2021-2022 cycle), buckled down, and will be waiting a year to apply. I'll be spending the next 10-12 months finishing my degree, studying for the LSAT hard, working, and volunteering in the city I live in while also gathering my 2nd LOR.

Don't be discouraged from waiting a year - I promise you're not missing out on anything.

I'm game!

I went from a university-calculated 3.867 to an LSDAS-calculated 3.90. The first 83 of my credit hours were at an institution that did not offer A+'s, and the last 16 were (I received 3 A+'s this last semester). Here is a link to the calculator I used: https://www.lawschoolpredictor.com/wp-content/uploads/Law-School-Predictor-LSDAS-GPA-Calculator.htm

Click "agree to terms" at the top left of the page to do the calculation after typing in your credits.

Note: Many people have reported that this calculator gave them the exact GPA that the LSAC calculated for them during their application processes.

Part of me wants to say that in order to find the correct answer to this question, we have to make some sort of inference/assumption about insulin. What if it were the case were that overproduction of insulin results in a decrease in the inefficiency of such insulin to store sugars and starches as fats? Therefore, overproducing insulin results in the body's inability to gain body fat?

Anybody else agree with this, or maybe have another way to look at the question that clears this up? Luckily I got it correct by eliminating the other incorrect choices, but I feel like some sort of knowledge about the overproduction of insulin is required for the correct answer to just "jump out at you" as JY says.

Thanks

To anyone who paid for score preview, finished the LSAT writing and took the rest of the exam: how soon after were you able to see your score? Was it sent via e-mail or did it show up at the end of the test?

I don't believe score previewing is accessible for another couple weeks. I purchased it, and from what I've gathered from LSAC's website, I will be able to access my score September 18, and from thence I have the option to cancel through September 24 at midnight.

Hey, does anyone know how much the testing process is directed by the proctor? I'll be using foam earplugs (I live on a busy street) and was wondering what I would miss out on from not hearing the proctor.

My proctor didn't verbalize a single time. All of the correspondence was through the chat box.

Just took the test for the first time. LR was straighforward, nothing crazy with games (3/4 out of 5 difficulty) but RC WAS HARD. Usually my best section so I'm a little bummed...hoping for the best.

To anyone taking this test or a future test for the first time -- CONFIDENCE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. Study hard, focus during the test, and be confident you will apply your skills on the test itself.

All love (3(/p)

I thought RC was brutal as well. All the topics were incredibly boring (to me, at least). In my situation it was very tough to get through the first 3 sections. By the time I got to the last section, which I thought was likely the easiest, I had like 4 min left. Classic mistake. FML.
