Necessary is kinda like the bare minimum, argument cant survive without them but also doesnt do much to help the argument.

I have no expertise or authority however I believe much of the reasoning behind the "right to review waiver" is so that colleges can get an honest LOR in which the author does not have to worry about saying something unflattering (because you'll never see). However, if the author of the LOR is asking for you to take a look and check for factual errors, then it is a safe assumption he/she has not written anything negative and/or is not going to change anything negative out of it if they did. I think it is therefore morally permissible haha and my gut says it should be fine. I think another reason that waiver is there is to ensure applicants aren't just writing their own LOR's and assigning names to them. I hope this was helpful :)

Hi, I really appreciate you being willing to offer advice. I guess my situation is I had been PTing between 160-164 leading up to the august lsat but then was hugely disappointed when I got a 157 which was only an improvement of 2 points after putting in hundreds of hours studying. Im just not sure where to start from here. I wish I could know what section I did not do so well on. I would love to get my score to 165 by October but dont know where to start.

same here but all of the slots were taken up pretty quickly so 8:45 am is it :(

Interested

Similar question, I am about 20 percent through the core curriculum and am scheduled for the august lsat. I am not working at the moment to try and get through the curriculum. I was thinking about switching to October however that will be right in the middle of my fall semester at college. Im thinking I will be more focussed in august but am open. to any advice.
