This is not diversity.

stop taking tests and see what you're doing wrong. If you're scoring below 150 and finishing the test, you're simply doing way too much questions. 20 tests isn't really a lot. There are people who do every single test (80+) more than once

Withdrawing From December 2017 test

Is anyone considering withdrawing? I've already withdrew once before and it sucks to eat the money but I'm just wondering if anyone else is going to withdraw from this Saturday's test.

I'm still 5+ points away from my goal score so I know it won't happen. I'm already registered for February's test so still contemplating what to do.

No they will not.

So definitely a long grind for me- small incremental increases. I just started BRing in the low 170s. My timed sections are still in the 160s however. Still focusing on accuracy especially in the LR sections and I usually don't finish them.

Anyone else find that the best way for them to improve RC was to actually just read more?

What books are you currently reading and what do you like about it?

Currently reading Pimp by Iceberg Slim...book was featured by Dave Chappelle in case it seems like an odd choice.

Hoping to find out about more fun reads

Honestly it probably doesn't matter but I wouldn't dismiss the undergrad institution entirely and it is probably extremely case-by-case.

Wait so you're in school still or you graduated? Kind of confused.

If you finished your bachelor's already, taking more classes won't affect your LSAC GPA. Just go all out on the LSAT. By all out I mean get into the 160s and try to get a full ride or close to it somewhere. I think having zero loan repayments is especially important since you have more important obligations (mortgage).

I know of people who tried this for college admissions but unfortunately 23andme doesn't really confirm anything. Don't know if you can put in links on this forum but check out CDIB / Bureau of Indian Affairs to get your certificate/card

If you studied and took the entire test don't cancel and retake.

If the school is asking for two recommendations, it's probably best to send two.

It does not matter.

If you're taking it again and can get a better score, that is more important.

LSN is self-reported so not everyone is reporting their numbers nor is there any way of verifying its accuracy. Sure most of the numbers may be real but there are probably also people bullshitting numbers on there.

I would use the medians and percentiles to get a good sense of where you actually fall among the students who are attending.

Don't use LSN as your compass for this process..

the one bad thing was waiting outside until 8:30. they didn't let anyone in until 8:30 when I took it so if it's rainy or hot it can be frustrating

given that there is only a november (and not a december) test this year, would it hurt me to take the november lsat instead and apply then rather than taking the september and applying very soon? I'm a reapplicant and I ended up applying after my lsat score came out last year and it hurt me a little bit :|

no

Not sure what you're expecting here.

Looks like you'll get 169+/-3 if the 169 isn't far from your average. Good luck Saturday!

depends on your goal. If you're within 3 points of your target, just take it. Highest score is what matters.

If you're 10 points from your target, just withdraw.

I’m thinking of hiring a law school admission consultant, and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I’m interested in Ann Levine, but I heard there are somw other options out there. Any experience or thoughts ?

Ann Levine gives free initial consults.

The more important thing is why do you think need a consultant. There is so much free information and books/articles out there that can help you with the process. Unless you are in a truly unique situation (ex- you have things that can be red flags), you don't need a "consultant."

Save your money. Do the research.

absolutely.

who cares though? give zero ****s whether someone has a 120 or 180. care about your own score

no just no. law school isn't a golden ticket to success or redemption or any nonsense like that. it should mean absolutely nothing when it comes to how you view a person.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
