ugh this wait is SO painful...

nope! i didnt nor do i recommend that anyone worry about repeat letters on their answer sheet.

the LSAT doesnt try to trick you with dumb shit like that lol

@ i was too busy drinking and celebrating to remember to update!! But i got the call the very next day after you posted :) accepted!

i had a similar experience to those above. -3 my avg on test day, first take, despite never before having test anxiety. i was sure the really easy RC was experimental but it wasnt and i think i ended up doing worse than I wouldve otherwise.

in hindsight i would 100% study with 5 section tests with the experimental being unknown.

how do we leave a review for 7sage?

thanks so much @ @.yang78

OK thank you both! I think it doesn't hurt to call to make sure I'm on their radar. But also good to know not to worry :)

UPDATE! I actually do have access to the admissions bundle and just checked out the LOCI section. It says not to submit a letter if you haven't already heard from the school. SO I'll sit on my hands until I hear something but work on a LOCI in the mean time so it's strong and ready to go if I need it later.

Still -- greatly appreciate the responses to this thread. And hopefully this is of use to someone else in the future.

The "why law school x" was a component of the PS and that part I wrote decently well so thats a plus. They dont ask for a diversity statement. I wish i could find a way to sneak in another writing sample but I think a LOCI is the only way. @

Thank you so much for responding

Thanks @. Good suggestion

P.s. the biggest thing that made a difference for me was talking to alumni at the school I chose and hearing how excited they were for me despite not knowing me. Although everyone else had been cheering me on, it was their endorsement that really reached me and got me excited, not my moms or friends or anyone else.

I actually really know what youre talking about because I had felt the same. Im half asleep so hope this makes sense and feel free to message me directly, I am more coherent during the day lol.

@

Maybe you have some insight? FORGIVE ME FOR NOT TAKING YOUR SAGE ADVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE AND STARTING MUCH EARLIER :(

Yes, its going to be a big change but all very exciting. New school means new friends and new experiences. It can be overwhelming to think about all at once... but just take it day by day and task by task when deciding on a school, housing etc. We dont grow without change so its a great opportunity for personal development. Try your best to frame your anxieties as positive thoughts about the future. :) and congratulations on all your acceptances. As the weeks past it should get easier to accept the weight of whats happening.

NO you cannot rip the exam booklet

@ thanks so much for responding! And no I didnt apply to any schools in Ontario.

@

thanks for your input, really. :)

@ thanks for responding. which schools did you call and what were their answers if you dont mind me asking.

I know University of Calgary, Alberta and Manitoba take Dec as the last one. Did you find out anything about UVIC, New Brunswick or Dalhousie?

Thanks!!!

And thanks @

thanks everyone for your responses.

i am bummed because i made lots of silly mistakes. for LG which is my worst section i did the last 2 games correctly but managed to screw up the EASIEST game of the set somehow (game 1). so disheartening considering i was only 2 points away from my goal score... was 3 points down from my average like JY said. first take

i dont think ill retake because i really want to start school in 2017 but its definitely a blow to the ego

if i learned anything, i would suggest studying with 5 section tests where the experimental is unknown. that really threw me off.

@.salvator

thats what i would do

time for vancouver!! im literally buzzing.

for those of you who got their score, did LG go better than you expected?

oh and remember... yeah the LSAT is super important and probably different than the tests you're used to BUT it's still just a fucking test and I bargain you're smart, driven and capable so ****believe in yourself****.

not agreeing or disagreeing with anything previously stated

Im Canadian and applying to Canadian schools only.

So I just want to say, yes prepare for the LSAT, yes give yourself adequate time to do so, yes have goals, yes do what you can to get the highest score possible BUT REMEMBER...

a good LSAT score is only the obstacle; the goal is acceptance.

no limit

@

lol we were all thinking it.

@

you are not alone. this was my first official take and my anxiety has worsened the closer we've gotten to the release date. i feel like i havent gotten a good nights rest since before test day. that being said, this is a good opportunity to practice mindfulness. try the app headspace. a particularly helpful strategy for me has been focusing on my breathing. remember that the outcome is out of our hands now. try your best to reframe your thoughts towards something you actually can control like continuing to study or working on apps. at the end of the day though, if all else fails we only have a few more days to go. hang in there, its almost over!
