Hi friends, just tried to search to see if there’s already an nyc study group for the tests after march.. with no luck (but also the search functionality is weird on my phone).
Would anyone be interested? Alternatively if there’s already something like that, can you let me know how to reach out to them?
Thanks!
that’s a reachable audience? the admissions committee? i feel like i’d at most find some general admissions email address and hope for the best.
but i’ll look! i’ve been busy not doing anything law school related
Thanks guys! I don’t totally know what you mean by “email the schools” but i’ll do some digging and see who I can reach out to (I went ahead and pressed submit!).
Hi all, sorrry if there’s already a very clear post about this!
I’m submitting my applications for this fall (I know, late af) and would like to indicate that I have a Jan 2019 score pending.
I’ve read various accounts about what schools do (some waiting without getting prompted and some processing your application as-is) and just want to play it safe.
What do you guys recommend?
was the one with a coal burning plant experimental? that whole section was weird for me. not sure why..
My GPA is below their median (but above their 25th). I’m a URM with STEM degree from an ivy-league known for their grade-deflation.
It feels uncomfortably close so I think i’m with you guys —I should probably retake. I’m just nervous applying in late January (or actually I guess they won’t get that score until february?) will hurt my chances more than my off numbers.
Also, I realize some of you might want to know where I’m applying because that would greatly inform whether it matters etc.
It does matter, the median LSAT score for my dream school is 168.
the gap from PT to test day is also just really annoying. I missed 3 LG (2 that I had no business missing). After getting all of the mining questions right, I go on to miss 3 in the last section (including the first question of that game.. to be fair, our proctor screwed up and called 5min at the 10min mark and I freaked out in that last game, not sure I recovered well).
Ok I finally looked after 3days (I know, I’m a little crazy). 163.
So. My PT average is 167 with a pretty tight standard deviation of +/-2. I took the Sept. and got 158 and was very rattled, I’d never scored there (that whole test is a blurry, blacked out memory) except for my diagnostic back in June. Then Nov felt much better and more like my practice tests. I wasn’t particularly nervous — ya know, just regular “this is important, stay calm” kind of thoughts.
I didn’t think “test day fatigue” would figure so prominently in my scoring, but I guess it does.
Would you guys retake in Jan? I really don’t want to apply next year. I’m 28, 6 years out of school (working in criminal justice reform) and desperately want to dive into law school.
Will we not be able to diagram must-be-true/must-be-false questions on the logical reasoning section? Sometimes those are not so easy to do in your head...
