Be there or be square

Dear David:

My 3 sentence biography:

I am a West Indian and 56 years old. I have been been a surgeon for the past 20 years. I graduated from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. I have 3 beautiful children and continues to have an active full-time practice. I have always harbored a passion for the law, but it's really my life experiences as a surgeon which has awakened this passion to be a lawyer.

My biggest worry about my application:

I actually took the LSAT 2 years ago and did very poorly. The reasons I attribute it to that were primarily my underestimation of this exam combined with a beyond full-time work schedule.

I am seriously studying and scheduled to retake the exam in December. I am happy the way my preparation is going this time combined with my healthy dose of respect for this exam. I am planning on applying for the September 2017 admission. My biggest worry is what impact my poor score may have on my application to a Premier law school assuming I score greater than 165 in December as my pre-tests scores have been acceptable in the 168-172 range. Secondly, does taking the LSAT in December precludes me from the top law loss schools because of a late application process and if so, would you advise me apply for the September 2018 admission instead. Obviously, given my age I would prefer to apply for next September admission but being in a top law school is very important to me.

Two ideas for my personal statement:

Two ideas which would be part of my personal statement includes my upbringing in a third world country amongst abject poverty and how that has shaped my formidable years of life. Certainly my life and experiences as a surgeon will also be discussed and how I intend to amalgamate law and medicine for the betterment our lives. I would also discuss what I have seen as the increasing importance of law in medicine to the point of significant cohesion of the two for the improvement of our everyday lives. There needs to be a significant body of work dedicated to the exposure and resolution of the utter corruption of physicians to the point that it directly affects the lives of our patients.

I have never attended your consultation. I thank you in advance.

I may sound silly but I am not a college student. How do I find out about these Law school fairs please?

I am in

I need to improve my score

Thanks

so keets993 there is no eview on Thursday September 20 @:30PM EST?

I am also very interested

Thanks very ,uch

Very well done!!!

As I do these tougher RRE questions, it makes me think maybe JY's guide for flaw questions can be similarly adopted, i.e maybe these harder RRE questions can also be answered using two questions as a guide:

1. Is it descriptively accurate?

2. Does it explain the discrepancy?

Thoughts and comments?

nessa

can I join the study group as well. I just found out about it or is it too late

It was "the good times"; mommy and daddy paid for everything

A totally difficult question. I listened attentively to JY explanation between answer choices E and C. I acquiesced to his explanation for E but in C that's way more challenging. The stimulus told us absolutely nothing about ants which do not generally use pheromones. That , to me, is a leap of faith.

BTW JY I love your course and everything you have taught me so far is so sound and bedded in reasoning and logic :))

Thanks

Any thoughts or comments??
